Hi Folks I thought you might like to hear my book trailer I created for my debut novel - I used mainly BB 2016 and a vocal recorded on Nuendo with a little rverb. Can't remember all settings on BB but all the tracks apart from vocals were real styles. I'd like to know what you think. Watch The AdderStane Prophecy Song

Hi Floyd Jane
Thanks very much - I hadn't heard of anyone writing a song for a book trailer - no-one said anything online for months, it was ignored and I thought I'd really got it wrong! Especially as these days I do more fiction writing than singing.
The best wishes of folks on the forum really helps.
Cheers
Avalina

Avalina,
There`s enough mystery in the song for me to want to investigate your novel -and the feel is just right for your locale. Very good vocal and production ( I`d be interested in seeing which fiddle RT you used). By all means sing and post more here!

Thanks very much for the feedback. It was heavily edited from the BB track, so not so sure which fiddle *makes note to make a note in the future* glad you liked the production. I'm sure I'll see you around BB in the future.

Avalina, Great idea and a very well presented production. Good use of biab and a wonderful vocal. I've often thought that ebooks should come with a soundtrack to set the mood. This project is innovative and exciting. I look forward to what you bring to this forum in the future. Best of luck with the book. I hope you are rewarded for your efforts. Tom

Great video, song, mix and production. Very professional product. I thought you created a good blend between the music and video and it held my interest throughout.
Good luck with your novel and I hope you take time to use Band in a Box to bring us more of your music.

Avalina, that was awesome! I especially like your lyrics! So poetic and interesting the way you choose your words!
Perfect use of BIAB to create your music... the tracks are a good match for the theme!
And where did you get the aerial video of the landscape? Breath-taking!
Best of luck to you regarding your book! I'd say you're off to a good start!

What we think? We think this is great! What a super vocal and lyric, so very pro all the way. We're actually curious what the exact real tracks are you used.
Super! Rob & Anne-Marie

Hello Charlie
Glad it came across well, it's the first time I mixed my own song (but I had read up on how to do it). Thanks for the feedback, I'll see you around no doubt on the forum.

Hi Pat
Yes, the lyrics were from the story, the prophecy from the island. The video is from me and my husband's aerial survey of the island of Fetlar; the book is based on this small island in the north sea - it's also our home. Just a few folks and lots of wild critters!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm delighted you enjoyed it. The tracks I used? I'll see if I can work it out. In future I'll keep better notes, I'm sure you know what it's like, sometimes in a rush to put something together.
Thanks again!

Hello, Avalina
Very beautiful song! I do love the melody that starts with minor 9th. Always a little sad and lovely. Very good vocal and nice video. Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.
Good luck with the book. Best regards.

Hi!
I, too, am a novelist (3 on Amazon at the moment) and when I post my chapters to my review site for colleagues to critique, I sometimes write backing tracks for the chapters and include them when I post my writing.
This is a very pretty song and wonderful video. I anticipate your novel is equalling captivating.
Wishing you the very best and good luck with the novel,
Alan (Alan & Di)

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."
