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.

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.

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."
