Here's a reggae number that feels like a dance tune, only the lyrics are a little more somber. The title is "Honorable Discharge." I hope you enjoy it.

https://soundcloud.com/sam-buttrey/honorabledischarge

It's 3:17 long.

Style is _REGGAS2.STY (Slow Swing 16 Reggae 2)
RealTracks in style: 1157:Bass, Electric, ReggaeSlow Sw 075
RealTracks in style: 1160:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm ReggaeSlow Sw 075
RealTracks in style: 1158:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm ReggaeSlow Sw 075
RealTracks in style: 1159:Organ, B3, Rhythm ReggaeSlow Sw 075
RealDrums in style: ReggaeTambo^1-a:Sidestick, Tambourine , b:Sidestick, Kick

The "trumpet" I added via a MIDI keyboard. EQ and reverb come from my DAW, which is Reaper.

Hi Buttrey
Yeah, this is unexpected. Good vocals & lyrics. Trumpet was OK as well. Interesting choice of genre. Moves nicely along rhythmically. Thanks for sharing smile

Great track! I’m not sure who would be “dancing” regarding this theme!

I liked the rather flat production..I think it was perfect for the message delivery. Sometimes less is more, if you know what I mean, and this was a perfect example of that approach.

I liked your lyrics storytelling— you got the message across clearly and effectively, and I liked the trumpet addition to give it some instrumental flair. Thanks for posting!!

Hi Buttrey,

Original song choice when it comes to both style and text.
Really different!
Very well done.

Really nice job on this one! I love the reggae groove here. It's something you don't hear much on the forums, and really stands out here. That aside, the contrast of the beat with your very clear and concise vocal delivery really makes this one memorable.

Great work, and thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
