A Girl Like You is an old song, but one of my favorites. I had a decent version before I discovered BB, it is still listed on Soundcloud. This new version takes full advantage of the BB capabilities. There are many live overdubs, including guitars, organ and percussion, but the BB rhythm section carries the tune.

That was fun. I liked all the variations on the chorus and interlude as far as background. Changing it up like you did kept it interesting. I could definitely relate to the "squirrel in the road" line. That was a great analogy.

Cool rocker. It all works for us, the vocals,
the write, the arrangement and the production.
Not a lot of rock around here...maybe this
will stir the pot. We enjoyed it.

Nice one, I enjoyed expecially the 'EmBmAm' part, a nice chords progression where your voice fits perfectly in and the Am works as a 'melodic bridge' to the next chords, really good !

The reverb on the singing is also good.

Take care,
Sergio

Hi ...

First time we've listened to you. We've been away from the site for about 9 months due to health and family issues. Nice to "meet" you!

Good rocker ... to us, it has a late 70's Brit sound to it. The 12 string electric accents that thought for us. Liked everything about it! Very nice, indeed!

Nice job.


I'm still trying to make my mind up about the banjo.

Thanks for the music,
Dan

A BIG +1

Everything about this is top notch all the way. You should be very proud of this one!


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Cool tune. I hear influences in this like 'The Who', 'The Cars' or even 'The Knack' maybe.

The guitars are very well mixed and balanced. Good vocals. Nice job.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
