It Ain't Love My professional duties over the past few weeks have not allowed me that much time for my songwriting hobby or for listening to a lot of the songs on the forum. I did manage this track. We sang a hymn in church in the key of Cm; I liked that key, and decided to write this song. (This song has nothing to do with the hymn, though.) For the mix, I used Reaper. I had been using Mixcraft, but it has been giving me all sorts of squeaks, pops, and squawks, and other unsolvable mystical audio skullduggery. I am just starting to get the hang of Reaper. Real Tracks: RT677 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm RockBritDriving RT996 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm HardRockLACrisp RT381 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Syncopated Sugar RT686 Organ, B3, Background Pop RC1169 Guitar, Electric, Soloist RockMediumBrent RT2688 Guitar, Electric, Soloist RockBrentSimple RT521 Bass, Electric, Pop Syncopated BB RealDrums-Rock90s^01-ClsdHtSn,OpnHtSn Lyrics: I need the hurt to melt the lies Don’t need candied promises to break your disguise I need obstruction to keep my heart from calling Don’t need destruction to keep the sky from falling It ain’t me who doesn’t want you here It ain’t me who always wants you near It ain’t love that I fear I don’t need you to kiss me in my sleep I need the silence to watch the whispers creep I need the colors I’m hearing in my head Don’t need analyzing of everything I’ve said It ain’t me who doesn’t want you here It ain’t me who always wants you near It ain’t love that I fear It ain’t me who doesn’t want you here It ain’t me who always wants you near It ain’t love that I fear I need the hurt to melt the lies Don’t need candied promises to break your disguise

Hi Ezekiel,
That's a powerful song you made! And though I don't know what hymn that was, you gave it a nice own turn (if that's how they call that).
The vocals are very good.
Bye,
Hans

Ezekiel,
Very fun and catchy tune! Very strong arrangement of instrumentals and vocals.
Clever lyrics! I especially liked and can relate to this:
"I need obstruction to keep my heart from calling" and "I need the colors I’m hearing in my head"
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.

Howdy!
Wow, Ez, this is strong and powerful! You really gave this one some drive and attitude - sure do like how you did that. Your vocal drives this one, in my opinion. The drums just add to it. Your voice is stellar! Super song and sing. What a musical treat! best to you ...

Hans Thanks, Hans. I don't remember the hymn title, but I thought it was a good key for my range.

Scott,
A very cool song (a bit cryptic at times?).
Excellent arrangement/production. Bass & drums -- super. Guitars are excellent. Organ, too... Nice use of stops...
Good vocal. Love the harmonies - are those sung or "created" (if so, how?).
(The harmonies are a tad "crisp" in my speakers).
Cool. Very catchy.

Anthemic! Kenny, who is a fine rocker, really describes our feelings well. Nice lines and a fine power vocal along with a very effective use of RT/RD's. The mix sets up a strong soundstage...nearly took my monitors off the shelf!  Enjoyed the listens, J&B

Well done Ezekiel's Storm, this was wonderful! Fantastic selection of instruments here and very soothing to hear. Good use of EFX on the guitar. The vocals harmonize well with the other instruments. Well done!

Notation Enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019
Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows was released in December 2018, and included many new features and enhancements - like the enhancements we made to our Notation window!
These include:
-Pressing the space bar plays the song from the current location.
-Double-clicking on the Standard mode Notation window (or on the time line in Editable or Staff Roll mode) plays the song from the current time location.
-The right-click menu in the Editable or Staff Roll mode Notation window has an option to change the current beat resolution. Previously, the only way to do this was to right-click on the time line.
-Clicking close to a stave line will put a note on the stave line instead of between stave lines. Previously, you had to click extremely close to a stave line to insert a note on it.
-In the Notation Windows Options dialog, the clefs split point asterisk indicates that C5* is middle C.
-The clefs split point can be set by the spin controls.
-You can quickly enter forced accidentals from the right-click menu.
-A new track type (Drums) is available for the Melody and Soloist tracks.
-Holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the zoom in/out buttons results in finest possible incremental adjustment in size.
-There's a keystroke entry mode -the "N" mode, which lets you enter a melody entirely using keystrokes. The keystrokes are N to enter a note, up/down cursor to change its pitch, and left/right cursor to move the time line.
-A new button in the Print Options dialog lets you quickly print a "chords only" fake sheet. You can also access this from the right-click menu on the Chord Sheet.
-You can now edit any track in the Event List Editor. When the dialog opens, it will show you the MIDI data in the current notation track.
There's detailed information on our 2019 notation enhancements here: Band-in-a-Box® 2019 New Feature - Notation Enhancements
Jump to the Notation topic in our Band-in-a-Box® 2019 new features video.

Attention Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Mac users - a new FREE patch update (build 315) is available!
Review details and download here
Summary of changes for build 315 (Nov 15, 2019):
Fixed: Exporting MusicXML files was not working.
Fixed: When using "Auto-Hand split Piano track" feature, exported MIDI files contain wrong note durations on the Piano track.
Fixed: Note-based lyrics were not included when exporting MIDI files.
Fixed: User should be prompted to save their song when exiting, if they had added or removed plugins.
Fixed: The Record Audio dialog always says “Track type is Stereo” even if the track type is mono.
Fixed: The [Audio Options…] button in the Record Audio dialog was launching the Audio Devices dialog instead of the Audio Settings dialog.
Fixed: Loops dialog title bar displays wrong track name.
Fixed: Large patch map files are not completely loaded (were limited to 1985 patches).
Fixed: Notation context menu > Edit Section Text… did not do anything.
Fixed: Notation context menu > Insert Section Text… did not do anything.
My Favorite Things - Nudge Chords in Band-in-a-Box®
Love this time saving feature.
Ever fill in the chordsheet fully or for part of song, and then discover you want to add or take away an extra beat or more somewhere in the chordsheet.
Nudge chords (melody) from the Edit Menu is your friend here, the dialog will give you all the options either to remove or add beats where its needed.
Love it.
