Hi everyone. Here is my March song (#3 of 2019) in two different flavours.

Band in a Box

Guitar 1 - 365 Guitar Acoustic fingerpicking
harmonica - 2854 Harmonica Background CountryBalladJellyRoll

Main Vocal - Troy Schiewe (me)


Each track generated and saved as a wave file and then mixed with Reaper.

She was propped against the wall
Like she didnt care at all
Blank stare in her eyes
Would've made her mama cry

You could tell she didnt care
As the people stood and stared
Picked her up off the ground
She only made one sound

She let out such a cry
Would've thought that she died
They way she called out his name
you could fell the pain

As I put her in the car
she looked off somewhere far
She only made one sound
As we drove off out of town.

She was never quite the same
Since we layed him in the grave
He's no longer around
She only makes one sound

She let out such a cry
Would've thought that she died
They way she called out his name
you could fell the pain

Nothings changed thru the years
To the worst of all our fears
He's no longer around
She only makes one sound
He's no longer around
She only makes one sound

Nicely done! And what a difference the mix job makes - I think both renditions are excellent in their own regard, but that acoustic one really got my heart strings. Especially with the harmonica (I'm a huge sucker for harmonica).

A gorgeous and well written song all around. Thanks for sharing smile


Cheers,

Hi Troy the great story line was only surpassed by your seasoned vocal.
Really well written and produced. Rob

Hey Tschiewe, I admired the overall vibe on both of these. The different elements really glue well together and the instruments are layered nicely. Very captivating lyrics too, Well done!


Cheers,

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

One really good country voice you have. The band/arrangement is excellent and the song is effective. You've really showed off here by posting the "demo" version alongside the "bandified" version the power of the program as well as your own. Very much enjoyed.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
