Hi everyone! I am only new to this forum and relatively new to song writing and recording. I have recently uploaded my very first original song to soundcloud and I am looking for some feedback on it. If anyone has 3 minutes of free time, I would love to hear what you think! Here is the link: https://soundcloud.com/ptcruiser1801/are-you-proud-of-meHere is more information about the song: I wrote this song a little while ago in response to seeing people around me going through some tough times with anxiety and depression and the struggle that they faced on a daily basis. Some of these friends I saw overcome their struggles and some didn't. The song hopefully reflects the persistent nature of mental illness. The 'Are you proud of me?' line reflects one particular person I know whose personal struggles related to never feeling good enough for anyone. Here are the lyrics: I see the road, Narrow right before my eyes, And in the dark, The fading light is my disguise. I hear a voice, That familiar haunting sound, It follows me, I know no place it cant be found. Are you proud of what you see? Are you proud of me? I stand and wait, To watch you walking right by me, You think I'm gone, My shadow isn't there to see. I keep the faith, My will is strong if I believe, In time I'll know, What I can and can't achieve. Are you proud of what you see? Are you proud of me? Focus now, You're reflecting your own dreams, Broken Down, Everything's not as it seems. Weary eyes, They've seen too much but cannot close, Sunken Heart, A lier reaps just what he sows. Are you proud of what you see? Are you proud of me? Are you proud of what you see? Are you proud of me?

Curiosity has me wondering.

Hi guys, Thanks for taking the time to give me feedback! 90dB- Thanks so much for your comments! I will take your surprise and disbelief as a huge compliment! I appreciate you calling it a very sophisticated song...I have spent a good while fine-tuning each individual part recently so I really appreciate that. I have a few more songs I plan on recording and uploading soon. Thanks again

Guitarhacker- Are you curious about how I recorded the song? It was on garageband on an iPad 1st generation. There are 7 tracks in the recording- 2 guitar tracks, bass, drum track, vocal track and strings. Thanks for taking the time to write!

Very nice but from your response it's a Garage Band song not Band In A Box?

Band-in-a-Box® - Boxing Clever - Sound on Sound #TBT
Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® is more than 30 years old? I stumbled across this 1990 magazine article explaining the relatively new program, and think it's an enjoyable read for any Band-in-a-Box user - it really shows that we are always listening to user feedback when developing our program!
Read the article: Boxing Clever: Band-In-A-Box Software
A few of my favorite statements:
"The intention of PG Music's Band-In-A-Box package is to couple that speed and convenience with the improved flexibility of the personal computer. Versions are available for the Atari ST, Mac, and PC compatibles. Have the programmers succeeded? And can they rid themselves of the stigma of the auto-accompaniment section? Given the above state of affairs, the first hurdle that the program has to overcome is one of acceptance and, frankly, a name like 'Band-In-A-Box' is a bad start."
(I think our name was a great start!)
"The final results are, to say the least, impressive. Band-In-A-Box achieves something that most hardwired auto-accompaniment sections have never been able to do - inject a degree of feel into the music. It really does sound more human than so many of the computer generated pieces I've heard."
"...I'm quite convinced that PG Music will have a winner on their hands. This is one piece of software that you can get more out of than you put in."
