It has been a while since I posted any songs on the forum but I have been recording music and using Band-in-a-Box as my primary creative tool for a long time now. Here is one example of the many songs I've written over the years using BnB: Let's Make LoveIt's supposed to be a Buddy Holly type song for aging Boomers. I'm still using the 2012 version of BnB. I used: Toby Nash Rock w/Res guitar 120 BPM Real drums Real bass Real guitar Real strings I also played my own Big Baby Taylor acoustic guitar and I played some keys using my Yamaha PSRE403. I sang the vocal through a SP1 mic into Mixcraft 5, via Cl1 interface. Thanks for any listens and comments. It's good to be back! Let's Make Love
I know they don't teach in school
How to live the Golden Rule
But we're older and we know
Now's the time for letting go
Ew we
Ew we
Ew we
Come on let's make love
Do you hear the ticking clock?
It's not slow and it won't stop
I'm right here and you're right there
No one's looking, no one cares
Ew we
Ew we
Ew we
Come on let's make love
I will say
Loved the ride
So glad
You're by my side
Play those classic 45's
We're still kicking, still alive
Hold me close now, hold me tight
Right on through this summer night
Ew we
Ew we
Ew we
Come on let's make love
Come on let's make love
Come on let's make love
Come on let's make love

jpt,
Well put together. Good use of the BAND. Well mixed. Good vocal.
It does have the feel of the Holly era.

PS - a LOT of good stuff has been added since 2012.
A lot!!

Creative song!! It is very effective to have the notes on the beat, particularly with a song like this with a simple message! I hear some Beatles in here!! Enjoyed!! Take care. Greg

Definitely has a 60s vibe to it. Love the sound overall.

With the backed off vocal and strong acoustic guitar it sounds like it'd fit into the Buddy'n'Bob era.

Hello, 'jpt x 3'  !!! You know what was the first thought that occurred to me while listening to Let's Make Love ??? That it had an 'innocent' sound, meaning that the feelings and sentiments expressed in your lyrics were refreshing, void of associations to the more carnal, or physical aspects of making love. The song could be a selection for a high school prom -- it's that simply romantic. The way you sang it was charmingly straightforward. And the lyrics ??? Well, they were just as cute as they could be: "Hold me close now, hold me tight
Right on through this summer night"Those two lines possess a quality that could be described as 'dreamy', as they express the simple, yet rapturous pleasures of two people being smitten with each other. I could hear 'Paul and Paula', an early 60's boy-girl singing duo, crooning the song to teenagers dancers at a high school gym. It's lovely song, really, a very nostalgic thing to listen to. LOREN (a.k.a. 'bluage')

Hi jpt,
You managed to capture that Buddy Holly feel really well. I'm impressed. This was an excellent listen... engaging from start to end.
It's two thumbs up from me!
All the best,
Noel

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."
