Hi all,
Here's a french bossa.
A guitar between the hands is a good way to travel......

Une guitare entre les mains,
j’explore un nouveau chemin
en défrichant la musique
et ses sentiers harmoniques.
Les premiers accords s’enchaînent
et les notes alors s’égrènent.
Ma guitare est indécise
mais une bossa se précise.

Une mélodie nostalgique
vient compléter la rythmique.
Cette bossa se veut légère,
comme une brise du bord de mer.
La main droite joue en arpèges
et tout le morceau s’allège.
On peut voyager très loin,
une guitare entre les mains.

Really well done smile The groove is really nice, and the whole tune flows perfectly. This is the kind of tune I'd imagine sounding great live. It'd definitely suit a dancefloor well!

Great work and thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,

The mix sounds great in my headphones.

I enjoyed listening.

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

excellent ! parfait !

Your writing is 'alive' in the bossa form, for sure. All elements are true to the style--overall tone, chord changes, melody, etc. Tom, Vinicius, Chico, etc. would definitely approve!

Your vocal reminded me of Pierre Barouh!

I would like very much to see an English translation of the lyric.

Hi Tom,
I've tried to translate the lyrics.
There are perhaps some mistakes......

A guitar in the hands,
I'm exploring a new path
by clearing the music
and its harmonic trails.
With first chords,
notes come one after another.
My guitar hesitates
but a bossa is appearing.

A nostalgic melody
comes to complete the rhythm.
This bossa wants to be light
like a breeze from the seaside.
The right hand plays in arpeggios
and the whole piece is lighter.
We can travel far,
a guitar in the hands.

Hello, Chris

Very nice bossa chanson!
I love the chord progression.
Your instrument tunes are nice, but your chansons with lyrics are even more wonderful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

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."
