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 ...

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!

Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Mac - 49 Requests Fulfilled!
49 of your Problems solved? List of 49 Requests fulfilled in Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Mac.
With Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Mac there are a lot of new features, 202 RealTracks, and more. We get ideas for the new features and new RealTracks from our users. There are several sources, our Wishlist and general forum, support phone calls, trade shows, etc. In most cases, customers are not describing a new feature – they are describing a problem they have that they would like to have solved.
Here is a list of our features and additions in Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Mac, presented from a unique perspective. It is from this customer list of "problems they would like solved." These are not exact quotes, they are paraphrased from our discussions with our customers. They explain what problems and requests they discussed with us, that resulted in the various new features and RealTracks. Hopefully this answers the question "Why did you add this feature/content?"
So, without further ado, here are the 49 requests/problems that we (hopefully) have solved with the release of Band-in-a-Box® 2019. We hope that many of them are relevant to you as well. And please keep suggesting new ones, we appreciate that.
Q. Almost all of my music apps are 64 bit, as is my Mac OS. But Band-in-a-Box® is 32 bit. And Apple's next OS, Catalina 10.15 is set to be released in October 2019 (the beta is available now), and that won't even run 32-bit apps! Can you make a 64 bit version?
A. Yes, we’ve done this with Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Mac. The app is 64 bit and the executable name is still Band-in-a-Box®.app (if you have an older 32-bit version it will get automatically renamed during the install to Band-in-a-Box®-32bit.app ).
Q. I have 64 bit plugins that I want to use with Band-in-a-Box®. But they only work with 64 bit apps. Can I use them with Band-in-a-Box® 2019, without having to use any special software for this?
A. Yes, 64 bit Plugins work natively with the 64 bit version of Band-in-a-Box® 2019. This means you can use your 64 bit plugins, including ones that use huge amounts of memory (more than 2GB).
Q. Does Band-in-a-Box® 2019 work on the latest OS, Catalina 10.15, as that has many changes?
A. Yes, Band-in-a-Box® 2019 is 64-bit and runs great on Catalina (and older OS's down to and including 10.6.8 Snow Leopard)
Q. I like Snow Leopard as an OS (10.6.8), will Band-in-a-Box® 2019 still run on that with all features working?
A. Yes, Band-in-a-Box® 2019 64 bit version runs great on older OS's including Snow Leopard, and has identical features and operation to the newer OS's
See the full list here!
