Steve,

It is always a pleasure to hear your music. Always.

I really like what Bud said (and agree fully):

And like, Torrey, I really like the "Springsteen-esque ending".

Excellent vocals, arrangement and mix.

This has the sound and feel of a Phil Vassar song... because of that, I did wish that the piano was mixed a bit more prominently...

Good stuff.

Always enjoy hearing your voice. This is a great arrangement and write, down to the end. Perfectly powerful band and message.

Really enjoyed the song, keep on fighting!

Thanks, Janne, for your nice comment!

Now that's testifyin'!

For a rock song, somewhat counter intuitively, there is a gentle core that
flows through the entire production and it enhances the message.

Your keyboards and the RT/RD tracks make a fine band as always.

The sincerity of your vocals never disappoint. We are all about soul, sincerity, feeling...
whatever you want to call it in vocals for any genre and you have it in spades.

Keep kicking him!!!

We enjoyed both the audio and video versions.

Hey, Janice and Bud! Thanks for your kind words! Always good to hear from you!

Thanks, Joe! Glad you like it.

Hello steve,

Very nice to get a good catchy pop song from you!
As always great production and vocal.
Your classical ballad that I listened to before was great, but such a rock song is also wonderful.
Inspirational and entertaining.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

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."
