Christian,
nice one! Not often I hear French Bossa. Very good arrangement and vocals by Patrick. Production is also top tier. Bossa is one of my favorite genres, I enjoyed it.

Thank you for sharing!

Chris,
Patrick has the right voice for the arrangement and melody.
Lovely work by both of you.
Languid melodies over spirited rhythms.
Any chance of a translation?


Cheers

I suppose all music in French reminds me of "foreign movie nights" when NetFlix delivered DVD's. Good times, and a beautiful piece. Enjoyed the laid-back delivery of the melody and lyric over that spare and upbeat band. Very late-night-in-the-city feeling for me.

Nicely done - love the bossa groove, and thought your vocal performance was top notch. Easy to sway to, and really laid back in it's delivery. The mix job is really tight too - sounds concise and professional.

Thanks so much for sharing smile

Thank you all,
Here's an approximate tranlation :

You dream of someone other than me

When I see you there,
hoping you'll turn around,
I would not like
let your memory fade from me.
I have to accept it,
my arms are too small for you.
Even if my heart has place,
you dream of someone other than me.

I stayed a long time
like a poor silly fool
waiting
always so vainly.
So here I am trapped
bewitched by a moment.
Charmed by your spells,
I have always been willing.

Thanks Jim,
Patrick isn't Joao Gilberto but I think he has a great voice to sing Bossa nova. Christian

Excellent Bossa...

The vocal and your tracks have the feel of a good band that has worked together for a while.

Very nice!

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."
