this video has been up a while, so I'm going to wrap up all the remaining replies in one message to keep from bumping it back to the top when there are so many new songsto fill that space...

I understand your concern, and it is not unfounded.

Thanks for taking time to STOP LOOK & LISTEN... (I feel like a railroad track). But seriously thanks, SpaceDog.. I appreciate it

+1! LOL!

I was kind of wondering how you'd respond, Josie... since we discussed the idea over a year ago, and at the time I told you I'd probably not pursue it. But when Muvizu came along, it was more than a song idea and I had to give it a shot. (I jes' so BAYUD )Thanks for responding with a PLUS ONE instead of a MINUS one ;-)

Your capture of your vocal is really, really good. The evenness of levels, the lack of boxiness or room sound etc. makes the vocal clear, intelligible and pleasant.
It'd be really helpful to me to explain your signal chain and processing.
Within you lyrics the meter is consistent and supports the syllables really well, the rhyming hinges on perfect rhymes with only the occasional use of poetic license and the narrative is linear.


Hi Ray, thanks for the kind words... the (vocal) signal chain on this song was a shure beta58 > TCelicon voiceworks > hardware EQ with everything flat except for a boost at 1k > focusrite scarlett 2i4 > real band. The walls in my studio are foam covered, which helps to absorb the ambient echos that generally make vocals sound boxy... but the boost at 1k was too much, and it introduced a tinny sound. That was lessened by the preset I used in Ozone 5 (don't remember which one I used)

regarding the rhymes: words that rhyme perfectly as pronounced in the american south may not even be lose to rhyming in oz, but given the redneck undercurrent, I went wholeheartedly with the provincial rhyme.

ah, you're VERY kind, Greg... I know what GREAT is, and it's more like what YOU do than like what I do....(your recent projects have been noteworthy (pun intended)) but I really appreciate the fact that you would take time to watch/listen and comment. Thanks for the encouragement

It would also be interesting to hear woman's view of the subject.

Janne


I like the way you think, Janne... It would be fairly easy to gather material for a whole series of dating fiasco songs... and I might do that at some point... but, for the sake of avoiding redundancy, if I make them they probably won't get posted here. I would REALLY like to see the song/video about the female perspective of online dating... maybe Anne-Marie would tackle that one. ;-)

hey,lawrence... thanks for that bit of "outside the forum" perspective... it's always interesting to hear what complete strangers have to say about the crazy projects we spend our time on. Are either of them double jointed? Just wondering... ;-)

And the video is the icing on the cake, very well done indeed!

Thanks Dave... I'm truly glad you enjoyed it, since that's the whole point of the project (mission accomplished)... and thanks for taking time to encourage a fellow forum member. We're all in this together. ;-)

Really really good and fun to watch and listen to.

Musiclover

Dani, I just love reading everything that you write... you have such a kindness about you that translates directly into your words... I hope you did laugh, because that was the plan... Thanks for taking time to respond, and I look forward to hearing your next Brian Wilson knockoff. (I was learning some beach boys songs tonight for an upcoming gig, and I thought of you)

I never hit "subscribe" on Youtube, but I have now! This is funnier ( and has better animation) than my 7yr old`s SpongeBob & PeppaPig cartoons... and so painfully true I`m going to watch it 50 times if I ever think about trying online dating again.

thanks for watching, listening, commenting and subscribing robert... that's 4 good reasons in a row to think the world of you!

The irony is that the story wasn't even a worst-case scenario... friends are already contacting me with worse stories and asking for a followup video based on their own personal fiasco. It could go on forever....

Thanks Sergio! The attack cats are my favorite part too... you and I must think alike. Hey, we're both guitar players, too... (Brothers separated at birth?)

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.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

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."
