Hi all,
Our new song:
I composed this one with the program One Man Band using one of the Yamaha styles. We decided to create an RnAM version using the program ChordPad to do the initial translation. Next we exported the midi file and imported it into BiaB. Finally we added: 1601 Mandolin Rhythm Pop16Melodic 1595 Guitar Acoustic Fingerpicking Pop8thSteady
Love and Leaving
Arguing your right to love and leaving Contemplating good times with pain When all the while your eyes avoiding me Words you say not reaching me For a good deal, for a good deal now You remember the times......
But oh my love it's strange, but I can only Fear to give it another try when Every time I look and see It's you that gets the best of me...
So here's to all the cries and the bravery Left in time with all the things you try to keep from me And all the while your hands are touching me Your arms reach out to holding me For a good deal, for a good deal now Remembering the times....
But oh my love it's strange, but I can only Fear to give it another try when Every time I look and see It's you that gets the best of me...
And maybe someday soon we'll find With overs and dones all left behind Friends will ask, We're doing well Welcoming the freedom bell....
I created the video, using footage of the public domain movie "Few too many". Hope you like it, any comments are welcome. Rob

Rob & Anne-Marie All vocals were top notch. Nice backing giving a very professional sound. Lovely song. Clever use of the video - it must take a while to go through the old movie to get the best bits!
Rob, That is an excellent vocal. The way you easily slide into a few of those falsetto notes is difficult thing to do, which you do perfectly. I like he lines "Every time I look and see It's you that gets the best of me..." Another enjoyable listen. Tom

Enjoyed my listen and the song really took off for me with the melody change at the 1:44 mark. Good write, arrangement, mix and performance. Anne-Marie's BGV's were nice.
Enjoyed all the vintage cars in the video too.

Very pretty song!! Lovely soaring melody. And, as mentioned, your vocals (as always) are awesome. You get such a big, smooth sound on vocals. Another in a long line of excellent productions by you guys!! Take care. Greg

Very nice under-stated backing, which left space for the great vocal track.
Nicely done.

Thanks ROG, your kind comments are always appreciated!

Thanks Peter! Yep, the video took a lot of slicing and dicing

great vocals and nice backing. A beautiful sad song. Must have had a lot of editing with the video. Enjoyable watch and listen.

Thanks Guenter! Kinda sad indeed.... Initially there were 2 versions of the song. Like we sad in our post, we created it with one of the (thousands available) Yamaha styles. We had different ideas about the melody and subject. We both created our own song with the same music. This is Anne-Marie's version: Not another Love Song
Very different ey?

Beautiful song and video! Both of your vocals are just superb. I'm sure that you guys put a lot time and effort into the production and editing of this song. I like the melody and piano and the way that you composed the lyrics. Very good listen! Sonny

Well David.... that's a sharp observation (as usual ) But you're right, I thought I could get away with a little "dichterlijke vrijheid" Dutch expression for 'Poetic Freedom'
And after all, it IS my second language

Wow! The vocals are stellar. The editing of the backing tracks are simply perfect for the vocals and the lyric. Very powerful.
You used an entire feature length film to find those clips? Our heads would have been spinning after a few minutes of that! It worked really well. Like all of your vids the clips augment and never distract from the song. That surely takes a lot of work.

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.
