At some point everyone needs to make a choice... The best you can do is be happy with what you've got. A song about unrealized dreams and the "settling in"... If you haven't ever used the nylon guitar RTs, you need to give them a try. They are a big part of this production. For this, I used a chunk of it as a "signature lick". Another area that some folks have stated "BIAB can't do". Not true. The BAND: RealTracks in song: ~1843:Bass, Electric, CountryBoogieRootFive Sw 110 RealTracks in song: ~2201:Guitar, Nylon, Background CountryBrent Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 2021:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm CountryBalladJohn Ev 120 RealTracks in style: ~405:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 408:Guitar, Resonator, Background Allis Ev 120 RealTracks in song: ~1677:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking CountryBrent Ev 120 RealDrums in style: NashvilleEven8^2-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, HiHat MONTANA SUNSETS i'm gonna be a cowboy i'm american you know where a boy can be what he chooses and dreaming will make it so but for now i'll do what the folks expect say what they want me to say but let it be known, until i'm grown i'm living for the day (when i'll) watch montana sunsets talk with an indian guide square dance at a neighbor's ranch then hit the range and ride i found someone who shares my dream the circle t's in sight i'm gonna be a cowboy we'll sing prarie songs at night but we can't leave things unfinished here folks depend on us but as soon as we get the loose ends to fit it's montana or bust and we'll watch montana sunsets and talk with an indian guide we'll square dance at a neighbor's ranch then hit the range and ride i was handy with a six gun i could have scored in a rodeo but sometimes things do come up you know how these things go we never made montana but i still sometimes dream of cattle drives and tumbleweed of hearing eagles scream martha, bring my slippers bring my tv guide john wayne's on tonight he'll hit the range and ride the sun sets in montana where cowboys still reside it's late night in new york time to hit the range and ride... pleasant dreams, martha. Have at it. floyd _________________________ 125+ BIAB Songs

I'm with Bob, I love that chorus especially. Excellent vocal, and the way you use the harmonies in key spots, "where a boy can be what he chooses" for example, is the sort of thing a good producer would bring to a session. I guess you are using a piece of that acoustic part to build the signature riff? I can see how that would be effective and you will still get something unique. Mix is perfect, sounds great though the studio headphones. If all country music sounded like this I would listen to more of it _________________________ Dave Blue Attitude: Homepage, Youtube page

The tune is engaging, very melodic, and with the great write/vocal/[production it's a showcase for both floyd and the User Forum. We will resist to temptation to compare it to any particular artist or time period. For us it is timeless Americana. We grow weary of hearing that good music only comes from certain pigeon wholes...mostly in the past. "At some point everyone needs to make a choice... The best you can do is be happy with what you've got. " Well, that will be floating around the head for a while. The signature lick works really well. This production is a great example for anybody who doubts the power of BiaB in talented hands. J&B _________________________ Never grow up...it's a trap.

It sounds effortless, and shows off the nylon string guitar to boot. Ticked all the right boxes for me. Didn't fire up my inner critic about anything. Well, I was going mention the inherent chauvinism about "get my slippers", and ask what century the singer was born it... Then it dawned on the that was the point! _________________________ -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

When I was teenager back in the 60s, my brother and I often laid in our respective twin beds and talked about Wyoming in the same way you relate to Montana in this song. Well, in 1966 I drove from Cheyenne to Salt lake City on Interstate 80 in '57 Chevy convertible. At least I got to see the danged place! What a great song and fabulous listen. This is music, regardless of genre at its best.

The look at the choices we make, determining where we end up in life is excellent. Too many people have dreams that they never follow for one reason or another. Yep... an introspective on life's choices. _________________________ You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music

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.
