#487155 - 08/21/18 02:44 PM [User Showcase] My little Girl or Marnie's Song. Written for our daughter's wedding
Registered: 03/20/18 Posts: 3 Loc: BC Canada Keith Bieber Newbie Registered: 03/20/18 Posts: 3 Loc: BC Canada	https://soundcloud.com/keith-bieber/my-little-girl I wrote and performed this song on guitar, for our daughter's wedding 4 years ago People really liked it so I later used Biab to create music for it. everything in this song is Band in a box except the lead guitar track I'm very happy with band in a box and how the song turned out. please give your input Thanks Keith Lyrics I’ve never really been that good, making myself understood; the hardest part has always been, saying what I really mean But on this day that’s all for you. Hear these words and know their true, I love you my little girl. Through the years we’ve watched you grow, through the years we’ve watched you go moving from the child that was, to the woman you’ve become and if in that time you never knew how much we really care for you, well we love you our little girl. Life just races by soon as it’s begun, and in the twinkling of an eye you’re left wondering where it’s gone. One day I’m holding you like a baby and the next you’re walking on, oh I love you my little girl. One day your there playing with your dolls next day you’ve grown so tall. One day it’s all school yard games then you’re driving off with James. its funny how things that should be said. All stay locked up inside my head but I love you my little girl life just races by soon as its begun, It picks up speed It starts to slide you don’t get a practice run, one day were holding our brand new baby . and the next that chapters done oh we love you our little girl Time just races by, soon as its begun we’ve been told its on our side. but that’s a song just for the young so treat each moment like some precious jewel you’ve found sparkling in the sun and know we love you our little girl

I love the line: "You don't get a practice run." Great. And so true. Mix sounds great by the way. _________________________ David Snyder Audiophile Everything + Studio + Instruments + Fingers ASCAP, NSAI www.davidsnydermusic.com www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder www.soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel www.songtradr.com/user/profile/david.snyder

To re-use the adjective that others have said: beautiful. As for suggestions, the "wall of strummed guitars" doesn't let up. It might be better to drop them out completely and points, and change the instrumentation. Similarly, your lead acoustic is great, but on the last verse it feels like it's trying to get attention instead of sitting in the mix. Or you could ignore the above suggestions and be really rightly pleased with what an excellent job you've done! _________________________ -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say.

The vocal sits in the mix nicely. Shows that you've been doing this for a while... A good mix throughout. The bass is clean and clear, the drums loud and proud, the guitars at the proper levels. A good listen. floyd _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

I quite agree with the lyrics (being a mother myself), one moment you hold a baby in your arms, the next it's grown up. The song is beautiful, you have a very good voice. The lead guitar is great! Well done. Anne-Marie _________________________ We are Rob Meulman and Anne-Marie Bovenkamp from The Netherlands. RnAM Homepage (completely restyled) YouTube Channel

This a well written song that I'm sure your daughter enjoyed hearing. Have a listen to the song on my music site called "Fly". It's written with the same sentiment, for my daughters..... both of them. Oh yeah.... Welcome to the family. I think you're gonna fit in nicely here Edited by Guitarhacker (08/30/18 09:16 AM) _________________________ You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.

Band-in-a-Box® - Boxing Clever - Sound on Sound #TBT

Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® is more than 30 years old? I stumbled across this 1990 magazine article explaining the relatively new program, and think it's an enjoyable read for any Band-in-a-Box user - it really shows that we are always listening to user feedback when developing our program!

Read the article: Boxing Clever: Band-In-A-Box Software

A few of my favorite statements:

"The intention of PG Music's Band-In-A-Box package is to couple that speed and convenience with the improved flexibility of the personal computer. Versions are available for the Atari ST, Mac, and PC compatibles. Have the programmers succeeded? And can they rid themselves of the stigma of the auto-accompaniment section? Given the above state of affairs, the first hurdle that the program has to overcome is one of acceptance and, frankly, a name like 'Band-In-A-Box' is a bad start."

(I think our name was a great start!)

"The final results are, to say the least, impressive. Band-In-A-Box achieves something that most hardwired auto-accompaniment sections have never been able to do - inject a degree of feel into the music. It really does sound more human than so many of the computer generated pieces I've heard."

"...I'm quite convinced that PG Music will have a winner on their hands. This is one piece of software that you can get more out of than you put in."
