We must've posted well over 100 songs on this forum and 99% of them were recorded with BIAB. Here's an older recording of a couple years before I discovered BIAB.
It's me on my Squier Strat and Fender acoustic. I did the solo on a custom-made guitar Anne-Marie had lying around at home. The video, which was professionally created by Anne-Marie can be considered a precursor of the current Video Real Tracks
Hope y'all like it.

A woman once wrote down on a piece of paper for me the word "intimacy". And then, she re-wrote it thusly: "In-to-me, see". In other words, true intimacy (non-sexual, that is) between lovers is a measure of the degree to which each of them will commit to learn all that they can discover about the other. I believe that can only be done by getting rid of as much of one's ego as is humanly possible, which for most of us I would think is a fantastically challenging thing to attempt. The subject of your song seems to have failed that test in the past, and apparently admits to it:
"There she was She caught up with my yesterdays..."
But then, paraphrasing your lyrics, he rises above, doesn't let anything get in his way, doesn't hold back, and sees just who she is. And when her "love comes down on" him, well, its just a miraculous, transformative thing to behold. The sound of your mutliple guitars is grand and affirmative, like a benediction shining down on him. That's what it sounded like to me, at least.
Entranced,
LOREN (a.k.a. "bluage")
P.S. I think the split-screen design of the video is very effective in showing you off as an accomplished one-man band !!!

Loved this tune. What a cool vocal. This is my favorite style of music. Mix was perfect. |Your guitar was so good. Excellent playing. Loved the solo. I have a new favorite ofd yours
I really enjoyed this! It somewhat reminded me of Chris Isaak. The vocal processing is so good. I really like this - a terrific song with equally terrific presentation. Very, very nice!
Really nice work on this I actually liked what the drum machine added here. It gave it a lot of drive, and helped it flow nicely. Love the tones in the guitar as well.
I really love this!! What guitar effects are you using for the solo? (Love that guitar by the way.)
You know what this reminds me of? The Psychedelic Furs. You even sound a little like Richard Butler on this, or would have if you had smoked two packs before the session.
I have an idea for your next tune as well.
Isn't she... Pretty in pink....
Just a thought man.

Rob, A very cool flashback that shows guitar chops I didn`t realise you have and a moodier side to your songwriting which I really like. Excellent vocal and video as always!
I think that this video well expressed your greatness as a musician. It is very difficult to make music to this level without BIAB. But you have done it very well. Excellent vocal and guitars! Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.
It's hard if not possible to add to Loren's comments on the lyric.
The mood you set with the write, guitar and vocals is a bit different from your later productions. That and your guitar showcase another side of RnAM that we have seen/heard.
We love it.
To throw out an over used word...it's hypnotic. Once you are drawn in you stay and then come back for another helping.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
