Hi Friends! It has been a looooooong time since I was here. The past 5 or 6 months have been crazy, to say the least. Health issues, crazy work hours, birth of a new grandbaby (yea!), and much more, have kept me away. I hope it's not another 5 months before I am back again! I just released a new cd, and wanted to share the title track. I shared the un-mastered (un-final-mixed) version sometime back. I hope you enjoy the final, mastered version. All the songs were created and produced using Band In A Box RealTracks and RealDrums. I Found You There (I tried to find a way to link to just the one song, but was unable to figure out how to do it. This is a link to the whole album. Feel free to listen to all of it if you wish - you don't have to purchase to listen to the whole song(s).) I hope to be able to hang around with all of you more now! Steve

Guenter Thank you Guenter. Glad you enjoyed it. Always good to hear from you! Steve Pretty song - reminded me a bit of early Dan Fogelberg. Liked the first one as well.
Peter Thanks Peter. I used to love to listen to Dan Fogelberg. I hadn't really connected this song to his influence, but now that you mention it, I can sure see it. Appreciate your kind words. == Steve

Steve,
So good to have you back and hoping you can be around here more!
The songs all sounded great to begin with and the mastering adds an absolutely gorgeous sheen.
This is a fabulous sounding album.
I hope you have tremendous success with it.

Steve,
Your song writing, mixing and your vocals are all top shelf.
This has a very professional polish to it.
I love the message!
Great job on this one.

Bob Thanks so much, Bob! Always an honor to hear from you! Beautiful song Steve ! And superb quality over it.... U really have a great voice.. Thank you very much, Trygve! So glad you enjoyed it. Hi Steve. Welcome back! Congrats on the release of your new CD. Is that guitar at the start a realtrack? If so which one? Love the harmonies. Thank you for your kind words, Joanne! The guitar at the start is a RealTrack. I think it's the SouthernRock Acoustic Finger Pick. Always good to hear from you. So glad you like this. Congratulations on the new album. It's very good across the board. I enjoyed my listen a lot.
Charlie Thanks, Charlie! Glad you enjoyed this! == Steve

Love the title track and will stream the whole project this weekend while on the road. The title track has a pro all the way sound to the mix. Lush but not cluttered -- a sweet spot to hit! J&B

Hi Steve,
What a beautiful strings arrangment ! Violins and folk guitar are so beautiful played together
It reminds me of a Simon and Garfunkel's song : "like a bridge over troubled water"

Sweet song, with your beautiful voice as ever. Does that cd baby work with selling your music?
Rob and Anne-Marie Thanks, Rob and Anne-Marie. Glad you enjoyed it. CD Baby has helped some. I have sold some on CD Baby, and some on iTunes (which they helped me get it on iTunes), and have had quite a number of streams on Spotify, Google Play, Apple Music and others that they connected me to. Steve,
So good to have you back and hoping you can be around here more!
The songs all sounded great to begin with and the mastering adds an absolutely gorgeous sheen.
This is a fabulous sounding album.

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!

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."
Convenient Ways to Listen to Band-in-a-Box® Songs Created by Program Users!
