Latest song from Chris Spruit and myself, something a little different than we normally do: Lift me up The band: Style used: cookin.sty Guitar: Fender Tele LIFT ME UP (by Chris Spruit) Monday is not kind and I get up in a haze Much too late to get things straight what shall I wear running up and downstairs Oh come on, what is wrong with my hair But You lift me up my darling you lift me up you lift me up my darling like the sweet black coffee in my morning cup Won’t catch the bus, oh what a mess, what a fuss The world is in such a bad state America has got a monkey typing twitter to hell my ear is ringing a bell But You lift me up my darling you lift me up you lift me up my darling like the sweet black coffee in my morning cup Morning is not kind and I woke up in a maze tell me please, so where are the keys The car broke down I've got no shoes on my feet look at this, I'm down on the street But You lift me up my darling you lift me up you lift me up my darling like the sweet black coffee in my morning cup sweet sugar sweet sweet sugar lift me up like the sweet black coffee in my morning cup Song is also up on soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/blue-attitude/lift-me-up-featuring-chris-spruit All comments pro and con are welcome!

Dave & Chris,
Cool song. Catchy! - especially the chorus.
Nice work on the tracks. Good opening. The guitar work is nice - tasty solos...
The organ sounds great - stands out nicely without getting in the way.
The drum touches are nice.
Well sung. Nice harmonies.
Well done all 'round. Several listens.

Dave and Chris,
A very nice and clean blues/jazz rock song. Very nice vocals and that organ does wonders.

Hello BlueAttitude, Nice work on this! - Excellent quality in the vocals and sound. Can't wait to hear more. Keep it up! Thanks very much, Joe! If you want to hear more we have done 15 so far, all up on soundcloud. Very cool. Excellent backtrack. Tele was excellent and very cool tone. Vocal and lyric was excellent as well.. Thanks, Scott! Yeah, I just love the tele. Only had it a few months, I've always been mostly a strat guy. Makes me wish I bought one 20 years ago! I'm playing through the S-Gear amp simulator BTW.

Dave & Chris,
Enjoying a few listens - a very upbeat way to get a grey day going.
I liked the topical humour in the lyrics and the way the guitar cuts through the backing.
All good!

Dave and Chris,
This is really happy and feelgood from the first bar onwards. I loved it. The backing is mixed to perfection and Chris's singing is an excellent fit.
You've both done a great job creating this. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Regards,
Noel

Rob Thanks, Rob! Yes, can't beat having a B3 in the mix. I've used one in most of our songs, such a great sound. Dave & Chris,

Thanks, Robert! Yes, more upbeat than what we normally do. It's nice to switch things up every so often

Most cool! Love the way the Booker T sounding intro morphed into the fusion feel Bob mentioned.
The vocals, guitar and the entire groove are hittin' the note!
This is one of the more inventive and unique sounding posts we've heard in a long time.
You might want to explore more down this road!

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks
MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:
There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:
1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track

Review - Band-in-a-Box® 2023 for Windows is Overflowing with Features!
Dennis posted his very thorough Band-in-a-Box® review recently, where he dives into some of the new features added with version 2023: Sound-Guy's Band-in-a-Box Review
Read his thoughts on the Download & Install Manager, partial track regeneration, Playable RealTracks, Audio Editing, the addition of SynthMaster, the VST DAW Plugin, and more!
"Band-in-a-Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is, without negative connotation, a monster of a program. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. No DAW can do some of the things BIAB does, while BIAB can do a lot that DAWs do."
