These Days This one started as a piano demo Chris sent me a couple of weeks ago and progressed from there. Initially I built a bed with BIAB but ended up replacing everything except the bass track. Drums: EZDrummer2 Bass: 776:Bass, Acoustic, PopWaltz Ev 085 I'm playing the guitar tracks and Chris did the piano and Pad tracks. Mixed with reaper using plugins from Waves and iZotope, mastered with Ozone 8 and LMC. These Days (2018, Christiane Spruit)V1: You know my love life is on the run rainy days they may come life is like a breeze and we both know these days to come V2: All that we've been through me and you when the wind blew hard did we fall apart? we can make a stand but we both know these days to come V3: All these years my love we won and lost but most of all we paid the cost we've cried some tears no need to fear these days to come Solo Bridge: I know nothing that I wouldn't do for you there is no doubt in my mind no doubt to be finding you Love is in me, love is in you V4 (repeat V1): You know my love life is on the run rainy days they may come love is like a breeze and we both know these days to come All comments welcome! 08/16: made a couple of minor tweaks to the mix and uploaded to soundcloud. Not perfect, but as close as I can get for now

Dave & Chris,
EXTRAORDINARY!
Excellent Rock write. Chris' best vocal yet (and they have all been excellent lately). I really like the processing on it.
Nice piano. Opened the song well.
The drums ROCK. Great sound.
Dave - your solos on this are goose-bumpily! LOVED 'em!
I thought the guitar hits in the last part were a little "too crisp" - could be a bit "warmer" (Everything else about them is good - they work).
This is excellent!

Love the guitar solo tone. Very reminiscent of Gary Moore. Very strong. I can't pick out anything to complain about. Well done.

Dave and Chris this is a very cool song. Very different from the last couple of song you have done. Chris vocal was so good. Excellent piano work as well. I listened the song a couple of times. I think Dave (GocartMoz) hit the nail on the head with the Gary Moore vibe on your guitar solo. Slow and lingering notes with such a cool vibrato. Each song you do seems to top the last. Tough to do as they have been all so good. I am a fan

DAY-UM! That was really awesome. I'm not kidding either. The drums, the vocals....and THAT guitar. I will be listening to this over and over. I love the tones you are creating and the feel is out of this world!

Superb! Love the song - everything is pro. Great kick off to the solo and wonderful tone. The vocals were lovely. Top class blues.

Dave Took the words right out of my mouth. A female Gary Moore on vox and Gary himself on lead guitar. We lost a good pone when he died in Spain. This is so well done in every possible way. Simply fabulous! This is one great song and production. WOW, over and over. Wish I could come up with all the accolades it deserves. However many of them there are, this deserves every one of them. I could blabber on forever how good this is, but I think you have figured out I like it so danged much! Best to both of you. ALan

This probably your best to date. Great vocal! Super piano and mix. Couple that with that great guitar part and you have a winner.
Both of you should be very proud of this one.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

fj Agree with all of that!! As much as I love your straight blues, this one which is a bit more crossover is my FAVORITE!! And, I can honestly say I've never heard a tastier guitar part in my life.....absolutely PERFECT!!! Take care. Greg

Dave & Chris, A big WOW! Much as I like Chris` more abstract lyrics, the more accessible ones here are such a good vehicle for her voice... the whole thing just smokes,,, even before the guitar solo! Right up there with the best you`ve produced.

Really well done! A great song through and through. Really catchy, a great groove, and a amazing vocal performance. Just a great tune - it hits all the boxes for me in terms of what makes a good rock song. Not a thing I'd change on this one - be proud! Thanks for sharing
Cheers, Deryk

The lyrics seem really poetic, and I like the choices you made for accompanying instruments. Awesome job. Has a really nice groove to it as the song picks up. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Ember

fj Dave and Chris, After listening, I was speechless. This is so incredibly good on every possible level. To get my brain back into order, I started reading through the comments. When I got to floyd, he said EVERYTHING that I thought. I had to quote him. You've done yourselves really, really proud with this one. You handled that laid-back 12/8 feel with pizzazz! All the best, Noel

fj Thanks for the excellent comments, floyd! They made my day and Chris' too when she read them. I brought the volume on the guitar hits at the last part of the song down 2db and also rolled off some of the highs. I think they fit a bit better now, thanks for pointing that out

Slow burning, with a great build. Excellent mix.
All the good adjectives have been taken, so: what they said.

Simple arrangement carry the beautiful vocals nicely. Haunting melancholy lyrics, Eagles-like chording and Gary Moore guitar solo make this a great ballad. Interestingly no chorus, but that makes only the bridge more effective.

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."
Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...
2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!
Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
Friday, March 29: 8-4
Saturday, March 30: 8-4
