Kira Says No is a swing 8th pop song for my granddaughter (my main audience). I wrote the song particularly so she (2 yrs) could recognize her name. Style: EZLISTP RealTracks: 1388 Swing Jazz acoustic bass 2193 Swing Rhythm acoustic piano 1985 Swing Rhythm acoustic guitar, RealDrums: Jazz Brushes. The music was saved as one WAV track and loaded in Audacity, where I typed in the lyrics, recorded and compressed the vocal, and then mastered (that seems like too much for my skill) the whole thing using Marian Brezovan's EU Pro Mix EQ 10, a freebie from Online Mastering Studio because I have Focusrite's Scarlett Solo. The setting for the mastering was a preset called Full Range Enhance. I chose this software because it was new to me, and seemed different from Eventide's 2016 Stereo Room. I chose this musical setting, which is the demo, because I really liked the vamp. Thanks for listening and I'm grateful for any comments. https://soundcloud.com/marty-sorensen/kira-says-noKira Says No Kira likes sitting down, Standing up, Running around Having fun like a circus clown Uptown, downtown, midtown, hometown. Some days Kira’s inclined Not to be so very refined She’s a playful mastermind Don’t ask she’ll decline Don’t make a federal case Kira says no. Kira likes to read a book Hiding out in a corner nook She loves to take a look Even if it’s gobbledygook Kira likes to watch cartoons Specially with red balloons Lot of cops, lots of goons Little pigs or masked dragoons Don’t say stop, don’t even try Kira says no. Kira did a 5k run Underneath the noonday sun Faster time than anyone Don’t stop now it's too much fun Kira is a dynamo She got hugged by her Romeo She’s an impresario Don’t try to stop her show Kira says no.

Delightful.
Bold move, creating a song for family that would involve them listening.
That probably sounded horrible, I don't think I'm the only one around here
that says to family, I wrote a new song, and they just shrug their shoulders
Anyway I hope that Kira listens and loves it, it's great.

Hi Marty,,
Ha - we loved it! That's so cool of you to write a tune for Kira. And she's a real cutie! We liked that you used a story setting appropriate for her age. Di and I say "NO!" - don't stop writing great stuff like this. Di's comment: "That is just so danged cute and considerate. Bless him!". I agree.
We love anything with that jazzy Sinatra feel to it. An arrangement suitable for an irreplaceable recording icon with a story for a two-year-old. That's just so good! We're still applauding!

Marty,
I can hear this being sung on Sesame Street to a bunch of cute kids like Kira and Big Bird dancing around.
Hits all the marks for me - I hope your most important audience enjoyed it too!

Robert This is so true! I hope that you burned a CD of this song for her. I'm sure she would cherish when she gets older, especially if she has children of her own. This is really good!
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.

Hello, Marty
Very cute. Delightful.
Nice melody and vocal.
As Robert said, I can also hear this being sung on Sesame Street to a bunch of cute kids like Kira and Big Bird dancing around.
Very enjoyable listen.
Best regards.

Loved this tune Marty. No better way to show the little one how much you love her. I also have the same problem Kenny mentioned. Grand kids begrudging listen to Grandpas songs. Once in awhile I get a smile from them. Once thing for sure it is theirs forever.. Well done

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."
