You're getting to where, pretty much every time I hear another new song of yours, it's my new favorite of yours. I think it was Herb that commented on how he liked the grittiness of your voice. I agree, really fits the groove and feel of this song (one of my favorite aspects of pretty much all of your songs).

I really like the way the song just comes alive the instant you start the chorus every time.

Another hit!

Steve

Regarding the arrangement...I think, and I've said it here recently, that arrangements, writes, mixes, and vocal/instrumental tracks are never really finished...they just have to be abandoned at some point.

Where that happens is based on a zillion factors including "ready to move on," "had enough" and perhaps just reaching a point of diminishing returns compared to the effort being expended. Heck even if one thinks they've nailed perfection six months later it get's easy to question things. Heck you could stop tweaking anywhere along the line and some folks might like it better there than where you ultimately take it.

It amazes me how so many of us have the same tools in our arsenal yet only a very few get this quality of sound. Every instruments sits perfectly In the mix. Nothing gets stepped on. There is no mid range mud. The soundstage is amazing. Yeah I've got Ozone and other tools but can I do this?
Heck no. Do I try? Heck yeah. Will I get there? Hmmm. I've mentioned it but your voice seems to take a quantum leap with each production. OK, I'm rambling but there is so much to like about this.

J&B
B&J, Thanks for the nice comments about the vocal and the mix. I agree completely with your thoughts about moving on. There are a zillion factors involved in that decision. Thanks for your thoughts. Tom

Tom,

I hope I haven't overdone it with my rubber stamp!

This song is a BRILLIANT creation. The lyrics, the music, your singing, your playing and your arranging are as professional as anything out there in the market place. I enjoyed everything about this.

What stood out to me the most was the clarity and the crispness of the production. This must have taken a bit of time to put together. Honestly (without any hint of flattery or hyperbole), this song sounds like it's come from a major studio.

In a phrase... absolutely mega-outstanding!!!

All the best,
Noel

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
