Here's an upbeat island-style bouncy reminder that sometimes a break-up is what's best for everyone. I hope you enjoy it.

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

Style is _POPCALP.STY (Pop Calypso Even 16ths )
RealTracks in style: 1174:Bass, Electric, PopCalypso Ev 100
RealTracks in style: 1422:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopCalypso Ev 100
RealTracks in style: 1175:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm PopCalypso Ev 100
RealTracks in style: 1177:Guitar, High-Strung Acoustic, Rhythm PopCalypso Ev 100
RealDrums in style: PopCalypso^1-a:Snare, Closed HiHat , b:Snare, Ride

Steel drums came in as audio from my Yamaha WX-7500. Eq and Reverb from Reaper.

"She Left Me"
===============
I met my baby on a Saturday night,
And we talked for hours in the cool moonlight,
You know we saw the world in such similar ways,
I said "she's the one for the rest of my days."

(Chorus 1)
She met me, she met me,
I can still remember that smile,
She met me, she met me,
Oh, it's love that makes our time here worthwhile.
Yes, it's love that makes our time here worthwhile. (Hey!)

Through the laughter and through the tears,
I thought we'd be together for a million years,
But my baby left me, she's gone away,
You know, all that's human must decay.

(Chorus 2)
She left me, she left me,
And it came as quite a surprise,
She left me, she left me,
But it helped me see myself through her eyes.
Now I see the world through other folks' eyes. (Hey!)

Took me ages to understand,
But now I've made myself into a better man
It's a lesson I won't have to learn twice,
Those were times of sadness, well worth the price.

(Chorus 3)
She left me, she left me,
But now I've learned to seize the day,
She left me, she left me,
You know, all of us, we must pass away.
You know, all that lives, it must pass away. (Hey!)

I really enjoyed this one smile It reminds me a lot of Jimmy Buffet. I'm loving how you incorporated the steel drums here. The summery, upbeat vibe sounds authentic and the harmonies on the hook came out really nice.

It's a lovely little tune you got here - thanks so much for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

When I read the thread title, I was definitely not expecting an island vibe for the song! A nice surprise. Thanks for sharing!

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
