Hi Elliot. This is a really nice write.
Only one small thing maybe just me but
the slide guitar seems to clash in places
Very good production and performance.
looking forward to hearing more from you.Rob

Dear Mr. Kayne...

Your song, "Somewhere Far Away Sleeps My Lady", was a distinctive listening experience for me!

It has a warm, inviting tone to it that was greatly augmented by your soulful (yes, soulful!) voice, and by the laid-back, almost casual way you delivered the lyrics. It was conversational, like talking set to a melody.

Also, I thought it was nice the way you held back the Real Drums for a few measures. It had the effect of creating a prelude to the song that made the drums sound all that much better when they came in. The brief holds, or rests, or breaks(?) you inserted into the song made the lyrics that followed them sound just like the way we speak when the words come from our hearts -- feelings strung together with little pauses for emphasis.

Your chord choices lent a wistful, yearning quality to the song. Listening to it more than once enriched the pleasure of it!

Sincerely,

LOREN

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."
