Hey, guys 'n' gals! Please have a listen to my song, "Glorious Day." I created it in BIAB, did some tweaking in RealBand, then handed it over to @dcuny for some post-processing mixing and arranging in Reaper. I would love to hear your feedback on it. (See Song Summary and lyrics below) Glorious DayThank you! ****** Song Summary ************* Title: Glorious Day File:Glorious Day.SGU Key=C , Tempo 136, Length (m:s)=4:06 No intro. 136 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 136. Repeat x1 chorus No Melody No Soloist track. Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0, Style is _CMPFMF2.STY (Fingerpick and Strum Ac. Med) RealTracks in style: ~522:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 120 RealTracks in style: ~~406:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 136******************* I also put in some cello, bass, and string tracks, all generated by BIAB or RB. For this song, I only did the vocals. David used Reaper to mix and finalize. *********** Title and Background Glorious Day tells of significant days in earth's history. *********** LYRICS Glorious Day The earth is dark and cold. Great power they behold. Then with gentle hands, He makes them both. Chorus: Oh, glorious day! Glorious day. Oh, glorious day! Glorious day. 2:Oh, they had a plan: eternal God would become a man. 3:Oh, when he died, he gave us all eternal life. 4:Ah, no more tears, no more fears, no more pain. Oh, glorious day! Glorious day. Why are you afraid? Remember what the prophets said: A savior born to break your chains. God proved Satan lied, When the lamb was crucified. Darkness and thunder, we deserve to die! You wonder where and why. Seek and you will find. Look up, your redemption draweth nigh.

This is really well done!! The melody is haunting, and the echo of the vocal is perfect for the feel. Arrangement builds and falls nicely. Great choice of RTs and execution. No criticism from me on this one!! Take care. Greg

c.k. (and David)
Nice write. A tight lyric that keeps you listening - always aware of the what the lyric attempts to convey. A nicely "comfortable" melody - what it needs to be...
The opening staccato string hits are nice!
The reverb at first seemed heavy until the chorus. By my third listen, I did not notice it, though... (you could allow that to "build" through the first verse)
Beautiful vocal!
The cello works well (it almost always does). The accompanying strings are tasteful.
The pace of the rise and fall is nicely done - terrific "big ending".
Nice song. Nice production. Nice mix.
Great entrance! Welcome to the Showcase!

This is beautiful!
And we definitely love the repeating echo.
Kind of a 60s 70s feel to it all.

Thank you to everyone who took a moment and offered feedback. I really appreciate it! I love it!(especially the message). Good writing, production, choice of instruments, and vocals.
Sonny Thanks, Sonny! I have an uncle Sonny. Is that you?  This is really well done!! The melody is haunting, and the echo of the vocal is perfect for the feel. Arrangement builds and falls nicely. Great choice of RTs and execution. No criticism from me on this one!! Take care. Greg David should be feeling good about these comments. haha! Thanks, Greg! Nice write. A tight lyric that keeps you listening - always aware of the what the lyric attempts to convey. A nicely "comfortable" melody - what it needs to be...
The cello works well (it almost always does). The accompanying strings are tasteful. Thank you so much! BTW, my favorite instruments are cello and guitar. I'd probably just use those if I thought I could get away with it. haha! Thank you, Guenter! This is beautiful!
And we definitely love the repeating echo.
Kind of a 60s 70s feel to it all.
Rob & Anne-Marie Thanks, you guys! Uh... You guy and gal! :-) We'll see if my Neil Diamond influence comes out more in the future. :-D Again, I appreciate everybody's comments. You're very kind! This is my first-ever produced song, and Mr. David Cuny played a huge part in getting it to where it is. You guys heard it here first! (Is that how it usually happens? We show off for our PGMusic family first? heheh)

Thanks for all the positive feedback! The reverb at first seemed heavy until the chorus. I'd initially had a much more subtle effect on the echo/reverb in the initial mixes, but c.k. asked that it be larger, and I'm a sucker for the sort of thing, so I didn't say no.

Hi ck and David, As others have said above me, this is a sensational listen. The vocals are fantastic. The melodic timing of the two bars of "Oh glorius day, glorius day" is interesting. It's what grabbed me. To me it seemed that the melody was essentially a bar of 5/4 followed by a bar of 3/4 (total of 8 beats over two bars). I couldn't tune out of this melody sufficiently to isolate the backing in my mind but it seemed like some of backing stayed as a straight 4/4 (though I'm not sure all of it did). This tug-of-war between time signatures appealed. The arrangement, the production and the mix are truly outstanding. It's easy to hear that a great deal of effort has gone into getting it right. Overall, very, very professional sounding from start to end! You've both done a great job! Regards, Noel

Good write and instrument selections. David, sounds radio ready to me. Very creative and entertaining mix. CKlester, I hope you will submit this to your local contemporary Christian radio station and ask them to add it to their lineup.

I wonder if a radio station would do that.

Have you opened up your RealBand 2019 yet? You may notice that we've given it a fresh new look! In fact, there are now 3 different looks to RealBand.
See for yourself! Within the program, visit Options | Icon Set and choose from: Classic, Modern 1, or Modern 2.
Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows - Choosing to Run 64-bit or 32-bit
We heard you! With the release of Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows we've included the BRAND NEW 64-bit version of Band-in-a-Box®, which works well with the latest plugins and 64-bit OS features! Because not everyone has a 64-bit computer, we include both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions with your purchase - you choose which one to use!
By default, when you install your Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows the 32-bit version will run.
The steps to run the 64-bit version are simple! Just head to your "bb" folder and choose the "bbw64" icon - you'll notice that the Band-in-a-Box® "splash screen" will state "64-bit" as the program opens.
(and if you open the 32-bit version, the "splash screen" will state "32-bit")
Still not certain which version you're running? Within the program, go to Help | About Band-in-a-Box - it'll either state:
Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
Version 2019 (604) <--- the number in brackets is the build number - this will change as new patch updates are released
64 bit application
or:
Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
Version 2019 (604) <--- the number in brackets is the build number - this will change as new patch updates are released
32 bit application
We hope everyone who can is enjoying their Band-in-a-Box® 2019 64-bit version for Windows!
NEW! Style-style-style Additions and Enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows!
With over 64 new features and enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019, we've made sure to add to, enhance, and update some of the Style features within the program: StylePicker, StyleMaker, and Song Titles browser within the StylePicker!
StylePicker Enhancements:
-If the style list needs rebuild, it tells you that within the StylePicker, instead of a message that requires a response.
-The rebuild is faster than before by 75%. It takes 1/4 of the time now.
-While the style list is being rebuilt, you can see the progress inside the StylePicker.
-The style list can be filtered by a specific RealTracks/RealDrums/MIDI SuperTracks or RealTracks/MIDI SuperTracks in a certain number range.
-You can filter the style list by a specific Xtra Styles PAK.
-The dialog to select an Xtra Styles PAK has a button to take you to the PG Music website that shows information about Xtra Styles PAKs.
-The StylePicker can list all styles (including N/A styles) in the default display.
-The Set number display is improved, including sort by type and Xtra styles.
StyleMaker Improvements:
-The new MIDI velocity offset allows you to make styles with altered loudness for MIDI tracks.
-Styles can be saved with information like a memo, examples, genres, and more, which will be displayed in the StylePicker.
-You can import information from another style. This is useful when you are making a similar style.
-A style can have a huge number of RealTracks (up to 70!) because the StyleMaker now supports RealTracks multi/medley feature, which allows a single track to have up to 10 simultaneous playing of RealTracks.
Song Titles Browser Enhancement
-We’ve added 300 more song titles including requests from users, so there are now over 10,600 titles.
-The chord density filter is available, and it’s also displayed in the memo.
-The chord complexity filter is available.
Review all the new features of Band-in-a-Box® 2019 here.
