Hi All. Here is a song that I wrote during February but never got round to posting to the forum. I recently sent the BIAB RealTracks and the dry vocal recordings to my producer (Ogi Feel the Beat) who lives in Serbia and this is what he did with it. THE DAY YOU WENT AWAY The song is hosted on the new hosting site called Musicoin that you may have heard of being discussed on the Off-Topic forum. This is a revolutionary new hosting site where musicians are directly remunerated each time their song is streamed. I am very positive about this prospects of this site because my view is that we all need somewhere to "put" our music so that it can be heard and here is a good place as any (but may be better because of the fact that we get rewarded for our creative efforts, even if it is only a few cents!). I think it is like any thing else where you only get out what you put in. So to get results you need to participate in the community (they have quite a lively forum as well as competitions, artist and song of the week, remix challenges etc). If anybody is interested in signing up to Muscoin I would appreciate it if you would use my referral link. SIGN UP TO Musicoin In writing this song I tried to imagine what the next morning would be like if my partner left me (although "how" he leaves me is up to the listener's interpretation:) I wont answer the cell phone ringing The dishes lie dirty in the sink the dog is sleeping on your side of the bed I cant even clear my mind to think I wont throw out your toothbrush in the bathroom There's even some old clothes in a case The grass is growing high outside our bedroom door Theres never any laughter in this place I feel so shattered, falling into grief I feel so shaken, falling apart It was the morning when you went away autumn leaves falling when you went away I remember everything clear as the day the day you went away I wont clean the wine stains on the carpet I dont have to make the dinner anymore The cat is walking round wondering what he lost he'll go back to the way he was before I feel so broken, floating into grief I feel so beaten, falling apart It was the morning when you went away autumn leaves falling when you went away I remember everything clear as the day the day you went away The realtracks used are: RealTracks in style: 366:Bass, Electric, Country Ev 065 RealTracks in style: 891:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment PopLiverpool Ev 065 RealTracks in style: 870:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm ModernRnBRockWarmQuarters Ev 065 RealDrums in style: NashvilleBrushesBalladPushEv16: a: Sidestick, Brushes b: Brushes RT891:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment PopLiverpool Ev 06 Comments are always much appreciated.

Hello, Joanne
I thought it was a wonderful folky tune, and that your vocals' main character was demonstrated very well.
Melody seems to come to mind naturally when reading your English lyrics.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Very nice work! It’s the first of your tunes that I’ve had the opportunity to listen to, and I look forward to hearing more. Vocal, arrangement, and overall tone of the song perfectly aligned. Good luck with this one!

I have yet to get a song to play from this site. An album pops out of the cover and spins but no sound.

Wow - you nailed this one! And your vocals are absolutely incredible here. Super powerful, and super impactful. The production is crystal clear too. This is the kind of tune I'd imagine hearing on the radio and it not sounding out of place one bit.
Great job, and thanks for sharing!

Joanne, the lengthy pauses in the delivery create great wonderful anticipation.
This is a great write all of the way through. The voice overlay reinforces dimension, and the build is just ever so subtle that it slots in perfectly with this excellent ballad.
Definitely one of your best, no question.

Hi Joanne.
Tried several times but like J&B it won't play for me.
My PC plays all other sites I have tried.
Do i need to sign up to listen or something?
(not interested in signing up).
Also where does the money come from?
Is it just created out of thin air?
Cheers.

Joanne,
Nicely done, really like the piano in this one . . . haunting and sad, all accentuated by the soulful lyrics. Great harmonies on this as well, used wisely and effectively. Enjoyed my listen.
All the best,
Deej

It took multiple clicks before the song played. It's a lovely song, good write, well sung. The mix isn't quite my cup of tea, but that's probably just me. The drum seems out of place - it seems "disembodied" and unreal. I've probably heard the prior mix, and so I've already been spoiled.  I love the Liverpool piano, but the way it jumps registers drives me batty - I really wish there were MIDI versions of all these piano tracks, because it would be so easy to fix in a MIDI editor. I've given up on being able to use some of those RealTrack pianos because of that. Which is a shame, because they're so nice. Again, maybe this is only a problem for me.  But no matter what (minor) complaints I have about the mix - lovely song, good write, well sung!

Video: Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows® New Features!
Our "Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows®! New Features, RealTracks, and other content!" video is now ready! Get to know all about the newest features in Band-in-a-Box® 2019: Click here to watch...
We have listed a table of contents for this video, you'll see it within the YouTube video description, or by visiting this forum post.
RealBand 2019 - A New Look!
Have you opened up your RealBand 2019 yet? You may notice that we've given it a fresh new look! In fact, there are now 3 different looks to RealBand.
See for yourself! Within the program, visit Options | Icon Set and choose from: Classic, Modern 1, or Modern 2.
Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows - Choosing to Run 64-bit or 32-bit
We heard you! With the release of Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows we've included the BRAND NEW 64-bit version of Band-in-a-Box®, which works well with the latest plugins and 64-bit OS features! Because not everyone has a 64-bit computer, we include both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions with your purchase - you choose which one to use!
By default, when you install your Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows the 32-bit version will run.
The steps to run the 64-bit version are simple! Just head to your "bb" folder and choose the "bbw64" icon - you'll notice that the Band-in-a-Box® "splash screen" will state "64-bit" as the program opens.
(and if you open the 32-bit version, the "splash screen" will state "32-bit")
Still not certain which version you're running? Within the program, go to Help | About Band-in-a-Box - it'll either state:
Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
Version 2019 (604) <--- the number in brackets is the build number - this will change as new patch updates are released
64 bit application
or:
Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
Version 2019 (604) <--- the number in brackets is the build number - this will change as new patch updates are released
32 bit application
We hope everyone who can is enjoying their Band-in-a-Box® 2019 64-bit version for Windows!
NEW! Style-style-style Additions and Enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows!
With over 64 new features and enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019, we've made sure to add to, enhance, and update some of the Style features within the program: StylePicker, StyleMaker, and Song Titles browser within the StylePicker!
StylePicker Enhancements:
-If the style list needs rebuild, it tells you that within the StylePicker, instead of a message that requires a response.
-The rebuild is faster than before by 75%. It takes 1/4 of the time now.
-While the style list is being rebuilt, you can see the progress inside the StylePicker.
-The style list can be filtered by a specific RealTracks/RealDrums/MIDI SuperTracks or RealTracks/MIDI SuperTracks in a certain number range.
-You can filter the style list by a specific Xtra Styles PAK.
-The dialog to select an Xtra Styles PAK has a button to take you to the PG Music website that shows information about Xtra Styles PAKs.
-The StylePicker can list all styles (including N/A styles) in the default display.
-The Set number display is improved, including sort by type and Xtra styles.
StyleMaker Improvements:
-The new MIDI velocity offset allows you to make styles with altered loudness for MIDI tracks.
-Styles can be saved with information like a memo, examples, genres, and more, which will be displayed in the StylePicker.
-You can import information from another style. This is useful when you are making a similar style.
-A style can have a huge number of RealTracks (up to 70!) because the StyleMaker now supports RealTracks multi/medley feature, which allows a single track to have up to 10 simultaneous playing of RealTracks.
Song Titles Browser Enhancement
-We’ve added 300 more song titles including requests from users, so there are now over 10,600 titles.
-The chord density filter is available, and it’s also displayed in the memo.
-The chord complexity filter is available.
