OP David Snyder Veteran Joined: Aug 2014 Posts: 7,736 North Carolina	From XtraStyles Contest: I have to say I think this is my favorite Xtra Styles Pak, this set #5. I am using this opportunity really just to give me the extra “juice” to finish an album, and I am rooting hard for everyone here! But I am just thankful this contest has given me: Unusual, House Party, Tahoma, Eff It, My God is Not for Sale, Listen to the Rain (not posted yet) and this song, Rock and Roll Sky, all of which will go on my next release sometime this fall. Thanks BIAB! That’s good enough for me! https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs2/rock-and-roll-sky GENRE_Country (Americana, Alt. Country, Alt Country Rock) Style_ Rainin3.style. Complete tracks below lyrics I started with Rainin3.styl, added cello and electric, and played acoustic and piano (a second piano part to an Alberti midi track to fill in some gaps and give it more punch.) For production, I added the Waves REDD console to the instrument bus (got that for $1 on the recent sale) and ran everything through the Waves J-37 on the Master Bus. I could not get the final volume I wanted to match other tracks I have without using the Lurssen console as a final boost, but that is the sauce. Great stuff everybody. I don’t know how they are going to pick because there is so much fabulous stuff from everyone. Hope you enjoy this. ROCK AND ROLL SKY By David Snyder V1 Do you still own those rock and roll boots Do you still wear that rock and roll coat Do you still drive that rock and roll car Down to the beach with the night in your throat PreChorus You said our glass would never run dry You promised me Our love would never die CH And there was silent thunder Under that Rock and Roll sky Are you still there I wonder Under that Rock and Roll Sky V2 I fell in love with a magic girl And she fell in love with me Made love with a magic girl On the edge of eternity Pre Chorus We walked on the water In late July She promised me We would never lie CH And there was silent thunder Under that Rock and Roll sky Are you still there I wonder Under that Rock and Roll Sky Pre Chorus We stared at the water When we said goodbye I broke my promise Cause I think I cried CH And there was silent thunder Under that rock and roll sky Are you still there I wonder under that Rock and Roll Sky Rock and Roll Sky Rock and Roll Sky Are you still there I wonder Under that Rock and Roll Sky That Rock and Roll Sky Words and Music by David Snyder, copyright 1990, renewed 2018 ASCAP/Day of Faith Records Title: Rock and Roll Sky File:Rock and Roll Sky.SGU Key=C , Tempo 93, Length (m:s)=4:15 Style is _RAININ3.STY (Raining Americana Flk Fingerpick) David Snyder, Piano, Guitar, Vocals, Production, Engineering RealTracks in style: ~701:Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotesSync Ev 085 RealTracks in style: ~2051:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking CountryBrent Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 3027:Vocal Oohs, Background Pop3-part Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 3027:Vocal Oohs, Background Pop3-part Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 838:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopBalladClean Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 1856:Cello, Background PopCountry Ev 085 RealDrums in style: RockNorthern^4-a:Snare, Loose HiHat , b:Snare, Ride Also Alberti Piano 2460 Midi The Sound Attached Files (Click to download or enlarge) (Only available when you are logged in) Rock and Roll Sky Production.jpg (155.09 KB, 118 downloads) David Snyder Songwriter/Renaissance Man Studio + Fingers https://davidsnydersongs.com/ https://spoti.fi/359Gigs www.davidsnydermusic.com/ www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder www.soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel https://www.songtradr.com/user/profile/david.snyder

OP David Snyder Veteran Joined: Aug 2014 Posts: 7,736 North Carolina	Hey Thanks Will. I answered your question about REDD and how I got "that sound" in a PM but I will repeat it here in case it benefits anyone else: The Waves REDD console is an emulation of the analog console used at Abbey Road with the Beatles. With the the right presets (and there are some good ones) you can get a good analog sound. It makes things sound more defined, warm and crisp and less harsh. The J-37 tape emulator gives it a "buttery" finish. REDD is on sale now for $39 and I posted a $10 coupon in the recording forum so you can get it for $29. It used to go for $249. If you asked what it "does" it gives you that sound I got in the song Rock and Roll Sky. I do not use it on the master bus though, either in an instrument bus, or select instruments. I run the entire mix through the J-37 on almost everything, as you see in the picture. There is more info on REDD if you want to google it. If I had not used it, the song would have had a modern "metallic" feel to it, or a "high end processed feel" not a warm, analog but defined Bruce Springsteen feel. I like the analog touch, and that's what it gives, but again, I think it is the combo of REDD and J-37 that is the secret sauce, as I explained. From the Recording Revolution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7Hfz_ZTw2U Update: $29 today and I posted a $10 coupon on Recording forum https://www.waves.com/plugins/redd#redd-consoles-plugin-tutorial David Snyder Songwriter/Renaissance Man Studio + Fingers https://davidsnydersongs.com/ https://spoti.fi/359Gigs www.davidsnydermusic.com/ www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder www.soundcloud.com/davidsnyderchannel https://www.songtradr.com/user/profile/david.snyder

I don't want to be envious of his energy altho God knows I wish I had that much.... I could go on about the great production, the soulful vocal and how great it all is etc., but I think this about aays it... Well done David. Josie Beck Youtube Channel Josie Beck Soundcloud

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."
