Hi, friends !

Been awfully long time since
we´ve met on the site !
I am truly sorry for that
but I have been just too
occupied with other commitments
such as selling my property
and moving in with Li - the operation
that triggers a lot of side effects
as the moves are not over yet with that,
I still have to get my daughters
flat sold before I can rest on the
laurels ! In any case, friends,
I just got this little love song for
Li finished !

The Style is: _PLAYFUL.STY
and the instros are: Bass: 3122, Piano: 1262
Drums: RD:S Poppromise, Guitar 1: 522, Guitar 2:
691, Guitar 3: 1681 12 string,
Synth Pad: 1840 and Vocal AAhs: 3063

The links to the song are here:

http://soundcloud.com/user-337827005/when-you-smile

http://app.box.com/s/jwx5ogult1wl4deinpdr45uzzh27bb7t

Recorded with mixcraft 8 on my laptop
Reverb and Compressor used

The lyrics are as follows:

When You Smile (Music and Words by Norman Wibe)

When you smile,
smile t´wards me, Darlin, Li
I feel happy in my heart

When I hear you laugh
When I hear your laughter´Darlin´, Li
it just fills me up with joy

Oh Lord give us many years
of love and laughter still
let us grow together
all to Your will

When I see you cry
When I see you cry , my dearest one
I just wanna kiss away your tears

You´re an angel
You´re my angel Li
my very own angel
here for all to see

When you smile,
smile t´wards me, Darlin, Li
I feel happy in my heart
happy in my heart, my Li

Cheers
Dani

Nice one, Dani...
It has been awhile since your last song...
I hope you get everything squared away so you...
"can rest on the laurels" & get back to writing smile

This song really works and the two voices work really well together.
But, the essing on your voice is very aggressive inside headphones.
You could use volume automation to reduce the level when you hit an S or use a plug in the does that for you.
It's a really good performance and good song though.

You should be able to de-ess using the auto filter effect that comes with Mixcraft. Just figure out how to set it as a "notch filter" and get rid of the frequencies around 10.2 khz. Ask the moderators how to make a notch filter. I'm not familiar with their particular auto filter.

Beautiful love song, just the right length. Loved the subdued harmonies and soft-spoken lead vocal. I hope you can get all your chores done without much trouble and relax.

Nicely done - really sweet, and very pretty! I like how soft and gentle on the ears it is. It has a really sugary feel to it - definitely brought a smirk to my face.

Thanks for sharing smile

Hi, Ember !:))

...and thank you so much
for your most kind words !
I´ve been really busy not
only with selling property
but barbershopping, gigging,
playing lead in a Shadows band,
travelling with a lot
of pensioners as my lady Li
is a travel agent, bookkeeping
etc. etc. .....huh !!!!

This is how it is supposed to
be when you are a pensioner ?

Thanks Ray !

You are probably
right that there
might be too much treble
as I was afraid of murkiness
when I tried to mix !

Many thanks to you for your
supportive and kind words !

Cheers
Dani

It sounds like moving in with Li is making you very happy. Thus I am very happy for you my friend.

I really like this song. Your vocals were spot on and your lyrics were heart driven, and I like those kind of lyrics.

This is an excellent song.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

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!

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."
