Here's a remixed version of a demo song I've written 8 years ago.

You Are There

Here are the BIAB RealTracks I used:
RealTracks in song: 1036:Bass, Electric, NorthernRockBallad Ev 065
RealTracks in song: 891:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment PopLiverpool Ev 065
RealTracks in song: ~897:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Rhythm FolkRock Ev16 065
RealTracks in song: ~~688:Organ, B3, Background Pop Ev 065
RealTracks in song: 1543:Synth Pad, PopBelieve Ev16 065
RealTracks in song: 910:Piano, Electric, Rhythm SmoothBallad Ev16 065
RealDrums: RealDrums in Song: SmoothJazzBallad^4-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, HiHat

I generated 2 instances of the acoustic piano and since BIAB does not generate the track the same way each time you render, the effect sounds good when to me when I have one each extremely on the left and right.

Vocals were recorded using Logic Pro X. The same DAW was used for the final mix.

I open to any suggestions or corrections to improve the song further.

I hope you'll like it.

I enjoyed this melodic tune.
very well produced.
I would like to see the intro reduced by around four bars.
Good work.
Rob

Nice! I enjoyed the song and agree that it's a total class production.

That said, I can never resist a suggestion or two. wink

This lyric stuck out a bit:

You always help me out
And bring me liberty


The word "liberty" doesn't seem a good fit. For one, it doesn't match the informal language you've used up to that point. Second, it seems to me that bringing someone liberty is a bit more than "helping out".

The lyric:

I call upon your name

also moves from an informal familiarity to a very formal relationship, as opposed to:

I'm calling out your name

I'm not saying it's wrong, and certainly not saying my suggestion is better. I think I know why you wrote it like that - I just thought I'd be mention it. crazy

Finally - and a hesitate to say it, because I've got a pretty severe lateral "s" myself - there are some points where "there" comes out as "dare".

But... these are all tiny nits. It really is a total class production, and enjoyable to listen to.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks a lot for your very valuable comment.

I have to rethink on how to write the first point you indicated. For the second point, I can replace it as per you suggestion. For the third, I have a mild lisp so there are some parts that I really have to re-take to correct it. smile As for the word "there", I haven't realize it until you pointed it out. Good observation. I'll be careful with that next time.

Once again, thank you so much!!!

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
