Awesome video. I remember we watched it with my wife and enjoyed it much!

Thank you for sharing!

Misha.


Dear Misha,

thank you for your good wishes - I passed them to Maha and it made her smile.

Oh yes, I remember that you visited my website a couple of months ago - thanks for your kind comment on the video; I'm glad you and your wife enjoyed it.

All the best,

Stefan

Hello Tangmo,

thank you very much for your good thoughts for Maha.

It's so nice to read that you enjoyed TELL ME WHY that much - thanks a lot for your very kind and positive comment on song and video. We got some more funny stuff in store, but the audio tracks have to get WQed and mixed before the roll-out, and that's Maha's part and it will take some more time.

Cheers,

Stefan

She is so talented and I know, from our personal messages, she is a wonderful lady and wife.

The song and video are terrific!

Ich liebe alles über dieses Projekt ... deine Vorstellung und deine Endübergabe. Einfach fabelhaft!

That was too much fun! You are not only a gifted singer and musician ... you are s a complete and wonderful entertainer. What a great video and song!

Wishing both of you the very best.

Alan - Di, too!

Maha: Wir hoffen, dass Du sich völlig von deine Krankheit bald erholen. Du und Stefan sind gute Freunde zu uns.


Dear Alan,

let me, also on Maha's behalg,thank you so much for your heartwarming words. I know that you have gone and are still going through rough times - aging isn't very funny and it continues coming up with things everybody could perfectly do without... But we have to take them as they come, and the only thing we can do is taking good care of our loves.

Your German is still amazing, although I guess you don't have much practice these days. Gross-Umstadt, that you remeber so well, has already had some very nice and sunny spring days, which means that every citizen grabs the chance to have a nice evening eating and drinking on our historic market place.

Out of the blue the winter returtned yesterday and there was even a little snow which is very unusual for this time of the year and after such a friendly period. We're all curious what summer will bring, because the climate even here has become pretty weird: During the last ten years we had eight of the hottest summers of almost a hundred years and they say that even it would rain daily until autumns it would hardly be enough to compensate last year's drought.

But I'm aware that our summers are nothing compared to the heat you have...

Dear Alan, I am always flattered to receive your compliments on my music and videos as I rate your musical abilities so highly. So thank you once again for your very kind comment - I'm glad you enjoyed 'the thing'.

Please give my best regards to Di; Maha aand I hope that she has recovered from her illness and can enjoy her life with her wonderful husband.

All the best to you both,

Stefan

I liked the video a lot - you really have your own style which is very recognizable and it is always fun to see and hear what your great imaginative mind has created.

Thanks a lot for sharing!
Will


Deart Will,

I passed your good wishes to Maha and she is really grateful for your friendly words - and so am I, of course.

I'm glad you enjoyed TELL ME WHY and woulld like to thank you for your positive comment on it and 'my stuff' in general. But that is mutual - you know how much I like what you're coming up with again and again.

Take good care,

Stefan

The video is fun, creative, extremely well put together and, well, BRILLIANT.

We will watch again this evening as each time we play a Crossroads video we see something we missed on the previous watch. So many cool things happening. As we've often said it is hard to envision the amount of thought and time that goes into a production like that. Amazing.

And to quote Tangmo, "I had a Laugh Out Loud moment when the first dinosaur appears screen right. Surreal. "

And the song is hilarious and you performances are stellar and the production is in the pocket and all is good!

We wish Maha a speedy recovery and both of you the strength and will to deal with such a difficult time. We deeply admire you both and have some insight into how tough it is.

Take care,

J&B

I always enjoy you humor. This was great--the funniest set of lyrics I've heard in a long time. I enjoyed the video too. Hahahahahaaaaa!


Dear Scott,

first of all thanks a lot for your good wishes to Maha.

And thank you, too, for your very kind words on TELL ME WHY. I have to admit that I'm pretty proud of what you said about the lyrics. Although I check and doublecheck them under the aspects of lexical and grammatical correctness before I finally record the vocal parts I'm always a bit unsure, if they're really OK...

I'm really glad you enjoyed the whole thing - thanks again.

All the best,

Stefan

I passed your positive remarks on the mix as well as your good wishes to Maha - she was very pleased and says 'Thank you', too.

Cheers,

Stefan

Dear Janice, dear Bud,

you guys sure know how to make my day !!! Thank you so much for your good wishes to Maha (unfortunately things have worsened dramatically since our last contact) and the more then kind words on TELL ME WHY.

I always appreciate your comments most notably, because I know about your great musicianship and your sense of humor that can't be very different from ours.

I'm always very glad to hear that viewers take the time to discover the details, because they're meant to be (what we call) the salt in the soup.

Although it will take some more time until Maha will be 'on duty' again and can do her mix jobs, I can already tell you that some funny stuff is 'in the pipeline'. You may remember the unfinished audio version of "I've Changed For The Better" - the video has become my own favorite so far, and I am sure, you will enjoy it, too, once it's got the optimal audio track.

I hope that you both are in good shape, still going, well: hiking and biking) strong.

Thanks again for everything and all the best to you wonderful guys,

Stefan

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."

Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...

2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
