https://soundcloud.com/user-108834131/icarus-vocal-mp3 Hello Friends, Icarus was from part of my learning days with BiaB its all Midi only RT drums Nashville even was reluctant to post at first, but I think the story line has enough merit to do so I am going to try 're work it, especially closing up the breaks a bit shorter. I am looking at Rts like 1004 Guitar 12 string Acoustic Rhythm and 1513 Guitar electric soloist country Brent and I was amazed at the punch they give. Any co opting on project would be great, as my huge drawback is my poor ability with DAWS Paddy G

Paddy Good song. It's a nice mix and a good sound overall. What issues are you having with DAWS?

I agree with Floyd here, This sounds very nice as it is. Actually, I think this is one of your best vocals so far. I think you can be proud of this one!

Awesome!
I like this the way it is myself. Great song!!
My only suggestion is the mix seems a little crisp. Not overly, but the guitars seem a wee bit trebly.
What program are you to master??

Paddy,
This is very good song. Like others I liked the vocal echo effect - its original ( is it the PG Echo plugin?). There are some really good lines in the lyrics:
" there`s no fool like an old fool pulled into her whirlpool"
I can relate to your frustration with DAWS... it can take the joy out of music making sometimes.
Robert

Paddy,
Let me add my vote of support, too. I liked what you've done. It's thumbs up from me. The only way to get on top of DAWs is to mix songs. With each one, it gets a bit easier. I've also found that watching Youtube clips on mixing is valuable.
All the best, Noel

The DAW will become second nature. Some have a steeper learning curve than others but it's worth the investment in time. FWIW
We enjoyed the write, the vocal and the mix works very well in expressing the feel of the song.
Enjoyed it!

Paddy, It doesn't sound to me like you have any problems with the DAW. I enjoyed the vocal and the write. Keep up the good work. Tom I agree! I wouldn't change a thing on this one. Another +1 for the echos. You have a very good voice. Two thumbs up.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

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."
