Something Fascinating

©2015 Robert Randall Burke



You know
I know
There's something fascinating
Going on tonight
I know
You know
I've been procrastinating
Though I long to hold you tight.


Music and the moonlight
Puts my head in a twirl
Dancing with you in my arms
Won't you be my girl?


You know
I know
We've spent a lifetime waiting
For this night to come.


Music and the moonlight
Puts my head in a twirl
Dancing with you in my arms
Won't you be my girl?

You know
I know
There's something fascinating
Going on tonight
Going on tonight.

Hi Bob.

Wonderfully authentic period piece.

I've always been a fan of Fred and Ginger and this could have come straight out of one of their films.

Made my day.

Cheers, ROG.

Great photo! The dixieland ensemble sounds great. My
experiments with those RT's haven't begun to work nearly
as well as yours.

Grab a megaphone and you will have absolutely nailed the
vibe. laugh

A most fun over the cup o' joe listen!

As Jackson Browne said "Make room for my 45s, along beside your 78s, nothing survives but the way we live our lives". This feels like it was played on a 78. Wonderful tribute to the era!! You really captured it all (horns, vocals, LP sound FX). Very, very nice!! You've been on a roll!! Merry Xmas! Greg

Bob,

I love that 78 rpm crackle in the background... very creative! This is an excellent piece. This incredibly authentic sounding. BIAB sure is versatile in the hands of a master such as yourself!

Best thoughts to you and Penny for a wonderful Christmas.

ROG,
Thanks for the listen and the kind words. Wishing you a Happy Christmas!


J&B,
Thanks. We actually have a megaphone that I wanted to use, but we couldn't find it!


Sonny,
Thanks for the listen and the period appropriate comments!


Greg,
Thanks very much. I guess I've been watching too much Downton Abbey!


Noel,
Thanks for listening and the kind remarks. Hope you have a Merry Christmas Down Under!


Tom,
Thanks. Having so many styles to play with makes it a lot of fun.


Fj,
Brevity is the soul of wit. grin


Scott,

Thanks. My father played in a Dixieland band as a youngster, so I grew up hearing a lot of it.


Peter,
Thanks for listening.


Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy BIAB New Year!


Regards,

Bob

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks

MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:

There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:

1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track

Review - Band-in-a-Box® 2023 for Windows is Overflowing with Features!

Dennis posted his very thorough Band-in-a-Box® review recently, where he dives into some of the new features added with version 2023: Sound-Guy's Band-in-a-Box Review

Read his thoughts on the Download & Install Manager, partial track regeneration, Playable RealTracks, Audio Editing, the addition of SynthMaster, the VST DAW Plugin, and more!

"Band-in-a-Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is, without negative connotation, a monster of a program. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. No DAW can do some of the things BIAB does, while BIAB can do a lot that DAWs do."
