Bob,

I simply love this. The lyrics are fantastic, so cinematic--amazing imagery.

The mix is great too, very warm, one of your absolute best.

Super.

Really nice work here Bob smile The backing tracks are superb, and I thought your vocals sounded perfect. The tune has an almost haunting quality to it. I loved the lyrics as well. Very cinematic, and very emotive.

Great job on this, and thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

You have an understated way of singing. I think I've told you before, but you remind me of Tom Waites.

Falling Horses.... been on 2 that fell.... not fun. Fortunately I wasn't hurt too badly either time.

"But over and over in the meadows of gold
He runs on for days where the grasses still blow
And every now and then he shakes off the rain
With a swing of the mane"

It just get more visual than that. Wow!

We enjoyed learning how you recorded the guitar and vocals...that's very nuanced and, man, did it ever work.

Not much more to add...this is an outstanding production and we much enjoyed it.

Nice listen - you've got that folk lyric and sound down pat.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hello, Bob

Very simple but very beautiful!
I agree with Janne.
Very nice folk song, the chorus melody is especially beautiful.
Your vocal just fits this,
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi Bob,

What a terrific song - perfect in all ways. I really enjoy abstract lyrics as they allow the listener to paint his own image and he then takes some personal possession of the song. You achieved that so very nicely.

Your mix and instrument choices couldn't be better. Kudos, my friend. this is wonderful!

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."
