#432498 - 10/06/17 06:03 AM [User Showcase] What A Crazy Thing ... (a co-write with floyd jane)
Registered: 10/31/08 Posts: 16637 Loc: Australia Noel96 Veteran Registered: 10/31/08 Posts: 16637 Loc: Australia	In 2012, floyd and I wrote a song called "What A Crazy Thing". I put the mix together and we posted it on the forum. In the 5 years since then, I've gained quite a bit more experience in mixing. I've also moved from the UltraPlus Pak version of BIAB with compressed audio files to the Audiophile edition with wav files. Because of these things, I thought it would be a fun exercise to re-visit the song and create a mix worthy of 2017. Here it is... What A Crazy Thing ...floyd and I hope you enjoy listening! All vocals, lead and background, are floyd's. Feel free to comment in any way on any aspect. As floyd says, "Have at it..." Regards, Noel P.S. It sounds best when the speaker volume is turned up a bit.

That was quick! Thanks for taking the time to have a listen. Always appreciate the visit. This was a fun song to work on back in 2012. I enjoyed collaborating with floyd immensely. He's a class act. I also picked up lots of tips along the way. Thanks again for passing through. Noel _________________________ LINKS TO MY BIAB/RB SONGS audios on Soundcloud videos on VIMEO

Are you using the new Ozone Neutron everyone seems to like? That said, its all about the song and the fun you guys had writing this comes through - in the clever lyrics that sound familiar and fresh at the same time,the boogie beat and of course trademark Floyd vocal and harmonies. A sweet collaboration in all respects. Robert

I guess that that means that you've settled into the place really well! Thanks for taking time to have a listen. And I appreciate the quotes. They gave me a good chuckle!

I joined the forum in 21 December 2012, so I missed the original by, I guess, a few months. Regardless, this just rocked my country roots and dang near had my headphones dancing off my ears. Too much fun (but that's okay!) and a lot spark. I enjoyed this from first note to last. Great collab!

We went in with high expectations...what not to expect other than excellence with Noel + floyd? And we assuredly were not disappointed. The groove just flows like like water down a mellow stream. Smooth and fluid. We will have to find and listen to the original which no doubt will be very good. All of us hope to achieve "sonic growth" over the years but when you start out with your talent it's a lot easier to achieve! Everything sounds superb to us...the RT choice, the arrangement, the write and vocals. And that Gene Kelly line in the first verse was super cool. WTG guys!!

I don't remember the original but I sure enjoyed this version. Great vocals, lyrics, backing tracks, instrumentation and mix. Who could ask for more? Two thumbs up on this fantastic collaboration. _________________________ I don't always go the extra mile but when I do it is because I missed my exit! 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB and RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software and some hardware.

I also used a dash of Nectar on floyds vocals. I was tempted to get Neutron when it was on special but I didn't. I'll see what happens next time the specials roll around.

Get Inspired with the Band-in-a-Box® Title Generator!

There can be many triggers that could inspire you to write a song... but what if you're wanting to write a song, and are having trouble finding the inspiration you need?

Jump start your creativity using the Title Generator feature in Band-in-a-Box®.

I love this feature - it delivers some beautiful results!

To access this feature:

Mac: select Edit | Chords | Auto-Generate Song Title menu command (control+shift+S). The song title will appear in the Title window! Repeat the Auto-Generate Song Title command until the program comes up with a suitable title for your song. Band-in-a-Box® will keep generating new titles for as long as it takes to get the right one.

Windows: click on the "Generate Title" button within the main screen of the program and you can choose to "auto-generate" a song title which will appear right in the Title field of your song, or for a more varied selection choose to "generate multiple titles" and you'll be taken to the Title Generator window, which can generate a list of 50 song titles for you!

I've just done this, and won't bother list all 50 here - but the "top 10" I've chosen from my generated list are:
Eloquent Laugh
Statuesque Luck
Considering a Rainbow
Brief Fling, Acknowledged
Something for a Sandpiper
Happy Runaround
Cheatin' Skies
Then Came a Rose
The Mention of My Love
Eternal Raincheck

Give it a try!

The resource for this feature can also be edited, allowing you to customize the results.
