John,

Not sure what I can add to what's already been said. Would you settler for "Possibly the best song I've heard on the forum in a very long time!"? Everything is perfect and put together with perfection. Could have come from an LA studio and wouldn't have sounded any better. WOW!

I'm stunned by the responses here. Many, many thanks, and I'm so glad this track gave pleasure to so many.

I knew that I was onto something when not only the lyrics but also the melody lines came fairly freely for this song, but only once I'd got on the right path - the music was originally a riff-based rock-type tune but I scrapped it. I did have to mangle the old loops I found a little so they played the exact chords I wanted, but Studio One 4 has a great chord function now and together with Melodyne I got there in the end. My 'Peter Green' interludes just worked first take - another small miracle! I don't know if others find this, but sometimes a song helps itself to be written (good sign) and other times you have to wrestle it to the ground (often a bad sign!)

Steve, sorry about the slow production rate! We've been entangled for months in trying to sell our house and move down to the Cornish coast and had three sales fall through at the last minute, which is very frustrating. We've got more viewings this weekend (almost forty now, over 15 months...) so fingers crossed.

Many thanks again to all my friends here for the compliments, they mean a lot to me.

Cheers
John

"The silent treatment, I’m getting it all the time.
I’ve serving a sentence and I don’t know my crime.
I faded away like a silhouette,
A meaningless someone you can just forget."

Man, what a cool take on a timeless theme.

It's ALL been said about the quality of this production.

Stellar super high bar things happening everywhere.

Everywhere = vocals, guitar, the band, the arrangement, the lyric, the vid and the mix.

Thanks for the treat!

J&B

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."
