#367911 - 09/30/16 12:05 AM [2016 & 2017 Xtra Styles Contests - Closed] Freedom is given to us in the sky (Alamo Texas Pop Rock)
Registered: 05/12/12 Posts: 2517 Loc: South Africa JoanneCooper Veteran Registered: 05/12/12 Posts: 2517 Loc: South Africa	Freedom is given to us in the sky Hi All This is my second submission to the competition. It is a co-write with Arthur Rossi (from 50 90). It just uses this Style as is _ALAMO.STY (Alamo Texas Pop Rock w Piano) It is a pretty rough draft with no harmonies etc but I am posting it in its rough state because I think it needs a good strong male rock vocal (a little bit of Bruce Springsteen would not go amiss). So if there are any volunteers out there give me a shout!

You and Arthur did a great job. I would volunteer to help out on vocals but alas I don't have any Springsteen in my voice There are plenty here that do though so I'm sure you will find a willing volunteer.

Quote: I think it needs a good strong male rock vocal so that rules me out LOL BUT I think a bit of vocal fry ( your vocie at it's limit) from you would fit also, a la Janis Joplin enjoyed Alyn _________________________ My showcase songs

Well, that's gonna be a tough one to find on the forum But definitely a nice song! Rob _________________________ We are Rob Meulman and Anne-Marie Bovenkamp from The Netherlands.

Band-in-a-Box® Tip of the Day!

Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® will show you some helpful "Tips" when you start the program? What a great way for new program users to learn all the features of the program! Want to know Tips on just the latest version? This feature can be adjusted to just show the Tips for that too.

Maybe you're a long-time user of the program, and have this feature turned off? To access Tip of the Day (450+ available!), head to Help | Tip of the Day. Your Tip will appear right away - and you'll have the option of reading the Next Tip if you wanted too! Within this window is where you would also choose to "Show Tips at Startup" (if this is unchecked, you won't see them), or "Only Show Tips for Version 2019".

Here's a few Tips the program informed me of the last time I opened Band-in-a-Box®:

In the Piano Roll window, the 'Ghost Note' function allows you to view a single-channel, and see notes on all other channels display in light grey. This is useful when working with multi-channel tracks.

Want a bigger guitar display? Drag the bottom end of the Guitar Window to change its size, or press the SETTINGS button to set a custom size.

The Printout can use left and right MARGINS. This is useful to make printouts for small paper size or 3 hole paper that requires margins.

Edit | Nudge Chords/Melody. Let's say that you have entered a complete song chord progression, and you then realize that all of the chords starting at bar 23 are 1 beat to late. You can use this feature to slide your chords over by 1 beat.
