Registered: 08/10/12 Posts: 6482 Loc: Florida floyd jane Veteran Registered: 08/10/12 Posts: 6482 Loc: Florida	One of those standard "son vs. father songs"... (doesn't every writer have one?) WHAT MORE COULD I NEED daddy was a simple man very simple tastes never seemed too interested in joining in the race i could never fathom why he didn't long for more a bigger house, a nicer car a newer coat than what he wore we argued over money we argued over dreams he never understood me at least that's how it seemed i asked "don't you wonder where other roads might lead?" he settled in his chair "son, what more could i need" (chorus) i've got the day god gave me laughter fills the air i've got my own opinions if anyone should care i've got a family raised on love tho' nothing's guaranteed it seems to me i've got it made what more could i need i was not content to hang in that small town my dad's simple philosophy was not about to hold me down so i took on the world without much more than a song determined i would make it just to prove him wrong but those other roads led nowhere the world put up a fight after many years of wandering i proved my daddy right i called to say i've finally come to understand your simple creed he said "son, you're always welcome back what more could you need?" repeat chorus now i live just down the road from that house so full of love my life is filled with the simple things my dad always spoke of i've got a loving woman my son's growing like a weed and when he argues "there most be more" i'll ask "son, what more could i need?" repeat chorus The BAND: Style is _HROCAMP.STY (Amplitube HrdRockLA Bass&Guitars) RealTracks in style: 995:Bass, Electric, HardRockLA Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 999:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm HardRockLAFuzzyA-B Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 996:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm HardRockLACrispA-B Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 659:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasRockChop Ev 120 (B:8ths) RealTracks in song: 1520 Guitar, Electric, Soloist CountryWorkinBrent Ev16 090 RealTracks in song: 1169 Guitar, Electric, Soloist RockMediumBrent Ev 120 RealDrums in Song: PopAmerican RealDrums in Song: PopCalypso^1-a:Snare, Closed HiHat , b:Snare, Ride Comments welcome.

Great write, lots of good lines. My favorite: "so i took on the world without much more than a song determined i would make it just to prove him wrong" chorus is great too. Bass sounded a little low, but I'm not on my music computer with the good monitors at the moment so that could be the reason. Other than that, band sounded good! _________________________ Dave Blue Attitude: Homepage, Youtube page

The bass in this gave me considerable difficulty (it was actually mixed some time ago). It had a "boominess" to it that I could not tame no matter what I tried, so I finally removed all processing (compressor and eq are typical for my choices) and set it to the level of the other guitars - similar to how many Punk songs are mixed. That was the best choice I could find. Good ear... _________________________ 125+ BIAB Songs

Registered: 12/21/13 Posts: 4434 Loc: Davis, CA Greg Johnson Veteran Registered: 12/21/13 Posts: 4434 Loc: Davis, CA	i've got the day god gave me laughter fills the air i've got my own opinions if anyone should care i've got a family raised on love tho' nothing's guaranteed it seems to me i've got it made what more could i need WHAT A CHORUS!!! This song is a lesson in the craft of songwriting. It makes a great point that is crystal clear and so eloquently told. AMAZINGLY GOOD Floyd!! One of my dad's favorite little fables went something like this. When I was 18, my dad knew nothing, and was completely out of it. When I was 21, I realized my dad was a pretty smart guy. I couldn't believe how much he'd learned in only 3 years! Love the song Floyd! Take care. Greg

I am a little jealous of the way you always seem to make your vocal seem to set in just the right spot in your recordings. That is a struggle I'm still having. Great job!

•A new track type (Drums) is now available for The Melody and Soloist tracks.
•Clicking close to a stave line will put a note on the stave line instead of between stave lines. (Previously, you had to click extremely close to a stave line to insert a note on The line.)
•Double-clicking on the Standard mode Notation window (or on the time line in Editable or Staff Roll mode) plays the song from the current time location. Previously, it played the song from the beginning of the current bar.
•Holding down the [Ctrl] key and pressing the zoom in/out buttons results in finest possible incremental adjustment in size.
•In The Notation Windows Options dialog, The clefs split point asterisk indicates that C5* is middle C.
•Pressing The space bar plays the song from the current time location, not the current bar.
•The clefs split point can be set by the spin controls.
•The right-click menu in the Editable or Staff Roll mode Notation window has an option to change the current beat resolution. Previously, the only way to do this was to right-click on the time line.
•There's a keystroke entry notation mode - the 'N' mode, which lets you enter a melody entirely using keystrokes. The keystrokes are N to enter a note, up/down cursor to change its pitch, and left/right cursor to move the time line.
•You can now edit any track in the Event List Editor. When The dialog opens, it will show you the MIDI data in the current Notation track.
