Hi Hans,

you continue to come up with amazing stuff with a very, very personal style and attitude. I'm sure I would, already by now, recognize any song of yours after the first line.

If that ain't an unusual composition (in the positive sense)... A great arrangement / backing track, surprising lyrics ('filthy feet'...), and your vocal is always outstanding. Other folks compared your voice to artists I do not know - I am not reminded on anybody I might know - to me your singing is absolutely unique.

Enjoyed the tune a lot and I'm looking forward what October will bring...

Groetjes,

Stefan

Hi Mark, Noel, David, Greg and Stefan (and everyone else),

I enjoyed your comments, thanks for all of it. They make the day.
It was nice to read that Mark called it a popsound, Greg a Rock-ballad, before others called it a rocksong, I thought a popsong. We have to start a discussion what makes a song Pop, Rock or Soul (I think Jazz, Funk and Blues are well defined yet). But consider this as a little joke, nothing is behind it.

Noel, you mentioned the solo around the singing. I had to think about that, because to me it was nothing special. I feel my music in my head, while composing, try things out and use BB in all those phases. But you (nearly) made me blush. Isend your tekst ending with 'talented man' to my son. He didn't respond yet.

And then David, Greg and Robert (in a former post) heard traces of David Byrne, John Lennon and John Hiatt in my voice. Of course I'm proud of that, but I thought it was Noel earned $4 from Turkey. I got nothing so far. So keep calling me (famous) names, maybe...

Stefan, it's you amazing me with phones that don't ring! Wonderful. My phone for instance is not ringing lots of time. Was that you?
But maybe you don't have to wait till october...

A little disclaimer: If I have offended someone with the things I wrote here, please don't be. I enjoyed your posts and comments, but we in the Netherlands are known for our immediacy and bluntness. We can't help doing so...

Hans

Hi Jim and beatmaster,

Thanks for your comments.
Jim, I will say this some more time I'm afraid, but I'm really glad having you back at this forum.
And even more because you listened to my songs and even enjoy that (kidding a bit),
Beatmaster, it's better posting comments before finish typing than afterwards (I think). But it's a pity you finished typing before telling me what artist I'm associated to. Makes me curious...
But thanks for the compliments!

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."
