Hi Torrey, Ray and Dave,

Dave, thanks for listening again and your final conclusion.

Torrey, From John Lennon to Al Steward... I'm getting confused but also honored with these comparisons and I like cats! so thanks a lot.

And Ray, I like the way you started your post. It's a very nice line. One I can use in another song. But the following two lines were also very instructive. I think you're right about the first one, and I'm still hesitating about the second one. I tried singing softer at the beginning, but then one can easely mis what the line is about (ok, they can read the lyrics, but still...)
And the lines following made me shine. But Loosing is also the opposite of winning or gaining succes. Like in 'looser'. There is a president who's using this very much in his tweets.

But thank you all and have a very nice weekend,
Hans Lennon-Steward

Nicely done! I really like the feel of the music, and you have a really cool voice.....comes across very well, and is nicely processed. I also like the sentiment of the tune. Nice job!! Take care. Greg

"There is a message in it, but that's the problem with most of my songs. It's a habit, I'm afraid."

What problem? I hear no problems.

I really like your backing tracks! Super blend. Your vocal was outstanding as was your lyrics.

You should post more often!


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

You have a great sound, there, Hans. The distinctive vocal delivery is fabulous, though with my aging ears and cheapskate's studio monitor there were a few syllables I had to strain to make out. Other lines were crystal clear, so, go figure. Instrumentation was up to the same quality as the voice. Go, Hans!

As floyd said it is a big sound. We cranked it up loud and it all held together quite well. Nice mix and vocal.

Kudos!!

What Janice & Bud said. Big song, big message, big listen. Loved the drum track - profound yet not overbearing. Nicely done!

Hi Kenny, Greg, Mario, Ed and Alan (and all other readers),

Thanks for your compliments about the voice, the song, the drums and the lyrics!
I enjoyed reading your posts.
Kenny, you also heard that 'Lennon-sound'. I didn't (yet), but it's works good on my ego ;-)

Greg, Thanks for calling it a 'cool' voice. Did my best on the mike. Misha and Ray gave me hints that worked out well.

Mario, thanks man, I will post more. I promise! Maybe this weekend, cause I'm mastering a song now. It's about my son wanting to go to Mexico because he fell in love.... Watch this forum for my post!

Ed, I'm sorry not all my words could be clearly heard. I know this happens to me. It's probably the way I sing. Now I'm working with two mikes to get a more clear sound. And I practise on my pronunciation. But a lot of songs also have that problem. Example: 'I gotta get a message to you', from the BeeGees. I thought they sang "Oh Lord", but it was "Hold on". So I sang it wrong al that time.

And Alan, Thans for that drum-compliment. I like working with 'fat' drums because they give a nice tough to the song.

A nice weekend to you all,
Hans

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."
