Well done TK62, I really enjoyed the overall tone of this. The different elements really glue well together and the vibe is very appealing. Fantastic work on the vocals. Nice work!


Cheers,

Hi Tim,

Welcome to the forum. We have some fabulous writers/composers,musicians,singers here. And, they're even better people. Hope you enjoy your time here and receive as much inspiration from BIAB as we all do.

This is a great introduction. You seem to have a good understanding of the program. And it gets even better the more you use it. A really good song! The vocal effects work well. The mix is good to my ears. I think you captured the sound you were looking for, from the intro you wrote.

Looking forward to hearing more from you. Wishing you the very best.

Alan

Tim,

A good first post. Cool Rock sound from the BIAB tracks.

The vocal effect works well for the style, but some lyrics are difficult to catch, so including them with your post would be nice.

Welcome Tim,

This is a fantastic first entry. You had me from the git-go. You have a good voice. Super mix also.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Welcome to the forum!! This is really a great sounding song! Reminds me of some of my favorite 80's stuff! Mix is great, but as Floyd said, it is hard to catch all the lyrics. Great stuff!! Post again soon!! Take care. Greg

Hello Tim,
That delay or reverb is causing some syllables to overlap. I reckon shortening the time/delay will keep the effect but allow clarity. There's also some increased aggressive high end on the vocal from the effect.
References to Nick Cave will always grab my attention. I've seen him live in the Boys Next Door, the Birthday Party, his 1st solo tour before the Bad Seeds and with the Bad Seeds.
Good song!


Cheers

Tim,
I enjoyed the combination of laid back guitar in the backing track with dark lyrics and moody sounding vocal.
Welcome - a good first Biab project!

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."
