#529082 - 03/17/19 12:13 PM [User Showcase] It Ain't Love
Registered: 09/02/18 Posts: 482 Loc: Virginia USA Ezekiel's Storm Journeyman Registered: 09/02/18 Posts: 482 Loc: Virginia USA	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.

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.

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.

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.

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. fj _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And The other list...

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 _________________________ Check out our BiaB SoundCloud songs! J&B YouTube Sampler J&B Website Our album "All Over The Map" is on Apple Music, Spotify and others.

Band-in-a-Box® Tip of the Day!

Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® will show you some helpful "Tips" when you start the program? What a great way for new program users to learn all the features of the program! Want to know Tips on just the latest version? This feature can be adjusted to just show the Tips for that too.

Maybe you're a long-time user of the program, and have this feature turned off? To access Tip of the Day (450+ available!), head to Help | Tip of the Day. Your Tip will appear right away - and you'll have the option of reading the Next Tip if you wanted too! Within this window is where you would also choose to "Show Tips at Startup" (if this is unchecked, you won't see them), or "Only Show Tips for Version 2019".

Here's a few Tips the program informed me of the last time I opened Band-in-a-Box®:

In the Piano Roll window, the 'Ghost Note' function allows you to view a single-channel, and see notes on all other channels display in light grey. This is useful when working with multi-channel tracks.

Want a bigger guitar display? Drag the bottom end of the Guitar Window to change its size, or press the SETTINGS button to set a custom size.

The Printout can use left and right MARGINS. This is useful to make printouts for small paper size or 3 hole paper that requires margins.

Edit | Nudge Chords/Melody. Let's say that you have entered a complete song chord progression, and you then realize that all of the chords starting at bar 23 are 1 beat to late. You can use this feature to slide your chords over by 1 beat.
