VIDEO: WAYS OF FORGETTING AUDIO ONLY HERE I’ve been digging some of the minimalist song structures of late (Tom owns this format!) and decided to try my hand at a “two verse /chorus and I’m out of here” format. So I wrote a lyric, asked floyd what he thought, went along for the ride as he elevated the write way up the “image ladder,’’ and taught me a little about midi and then handed me a wonderful melody. We worked together on the mix that ended up in my comfort zone of 5-6 tracks and here’s where it all landed. BTW If you are not familiar with the "image ladder" here is a cool songwriting thread and link to Monty Powell — original thread by floyd. READ IT HERE EDIT: OK, I wrote the book/gin line weeks before I watched this!  Janice: vocal via Rodes NT1 and Blue Icicle USB to Logic Pro X Bass RT 701 Pop half notes sync Drums N’ville Even 8ths Guitar RT1676 Fingerpicking acoustic rhythm country Fiddle RT 1760 Background pop Piano 2056 Midi SuperTrack CelticAir Rhythm rendered as midi with Logic’s Steinway Grand sound added. Bud: Audio production stuff via Logic Pro X, Alloy2, Nectar 2, TrueVerb and Ozone 6. The video was created using Video Editor 3, Pixelmator, FX Photo Studio and Picmonkey. All photos are PD except for the chorus photo that I shot. Ways Of Forgetting © 2016 floyd jane/Bud Merritt we never worried much... about borderlines stepping over them together.. in perfect time I went along.. helping burn.. every bridge we ever crossed you'd laugh and say "don't worry about what we've lost" but I'm sick of tv, old songs, ...of who i've been a half finished book next to a fifth of gin a sad story or drink won't erase our last goodbye old ways of forgetting don't work no matter how i try I danced across the strange landscape you painted but following blind left me jaded wasting away in your imagined playground now I've gotta try ‘n turn my life around but I'm sick of tv, old songs, ...of who i've been a half finished book next to a fifth of gin a sad story or drink won't erase our last goodbye old ways of forgetting don't work no matter how i try repeat

Another on the mark, radio ready, solid song. Superbly written, arranged, produced and performed.
You guys have clearly found your wheelhouse.

J&B and FJ,
Another beautiful collab. Especially like that chorus - one of your best original songs. The sparse arrangement is nice and intimate. And what a great sound using midi through the Logic Steinway. I love Janice's voice so lovely here as always.

Hi J&B (sorry for just these initials, cause you prefer the gin  ) Still a melancholic song in this showcase, not a surprise because melancholy gives so beautiful tunes. This one doesn't make an exception ! Perfect accompaniment and Janice's nice voice recalls me Shania Twain. Sheers Pascal

As usual, excellent work. But if you're using the image ladder, don't all you songs have to start with There's a dusty old, dusty Bible laying by the bedside next to a half-empty bottle of gin?

I started copying some of my favorite lines but then I stopped because there was no clear borderline. This is beautifully written!! Really fresh, clever, and yet not pretentious lyrics. The arrangement is beautiful as well, and Janice's vocal-Yes, again I would say PERFECT!! Really wonderful collab! Loved it!!! Take care. Greg

Hello, Janice & Bud and Floyd
Nice collaboration.
The sadness and melancholy reached deeply to my heart with janice’s warm vocal.
This song reminds me Carole King a little bit.
Though I don’t know if gin matches the heartache more than scotch, I agree Pascal’s comment.
(Still a melancholic song in this showcase, not a surprise because melancholy gives so beautiful tunes. This one doesn't make an exception!)
Enjoyed the listen very much.

Thanks for listening and commenting. We appreciate if! J&B Hi J&B (sorry for just these initials, cause you prefer the gin ) Still a melancholic song in this showcase, not a surprise because melancholy gives so beautiful tunes. This one doesn't make an exception ! Perfect accompaniment and Janice's nice voice recalls me Shania Twain. Sheers Pascal Hey Pascal, actually we prefer a good craft beer! Thank you for your comments. Janice really appreciated it. J&B Nice collaboration. Keep 'em coming! Loved it. Appreciate that! J&B As usual, excellent work. But if you're using the image ladder, don't all you songs have to start with There's a dusty old, dusty Bible laying by the bedside next to a half-empty bottle of gin? Touche! But, and floyd will vouch for me I hadn't seen the vid back when I wrote the line. It's gonna take some creativity to start the next few songs with that line...particularly given that neither of us like gin Glad you liked it! J&B

Simply professional whichever way you look at it.
I switched the video to full screen on the 47" monitor, put the lights down and and just lost myself in it.
What more can I say?

So few tracks and so much music. What a treat this was to listen to. The simplicity of the music and the refined performance, particularly Janice's voice, is second to none. Great mixing and a terrific lyric. Nope ... doesn't get much better than this!

Did I comment on this one yet? Cant remember and too lazy to go back through 4 pages of comments to see if I did or not. Listened a couple of days ago.
This is just lovely. The piano suits the style and Janice vocal as always outstanding.

Simply professional whichever way you look at it.
I switched the video to full screen on the 47" monitor, put the lights down and and just lost myself in it.
What more can I say?
ROG.
Hey Rog, we all much appreciate those comments. BTW, we went to considerable effort to use only PD photos that would look good on a large monitor. It narrows down the options but is worth the time. Thanks! J&B Wow! Is this good, or what??!!
So few tracks and so much music. What a treat this was to listen to. The simplicity of the music and the refined performance, particularly Janice's voice, is second to none. Great mixing and a terrific lyric. Nope ... doesn't get much better than this!
Alan & Di Thank y'all so much. I really do appreciate that. Janice

Did I comment on this one yet? Cant remember and too lazy to go back through 4 pages of comments to see if I did or not. Listened a couple of days ago.
This is just lovely. The piano suits the style and Janice vocal as always outstanding.
"Im'sick of TV" sure... Thanks Joanne! Janice

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
