Hi all,
Here's a french tango !
Philippe Janin has composed the melody, written the lyrics and he sings.

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/adele-3

Here's an approximate translation :

Adele is a beautiful woman,
she is smiling at me.
I watch at her like a scientist.
It goes without saying that on her bed I’m lying down.
I expect her to undress and I am gently swaying.
Her gestures are so graceful.

Chorus: Adele stirs my desire
and I want to fly with her now, and I want to fly with her now.

Does Adele have as many lovers as they say downtown ?
This question horrifies me, by the way.
I’m staying here in love with her, I like all her slow gestures.
The movement of her laces reveals my childhood dreams.

Adele attaches herself all the time.
Eternal feelings are inside her.
That’s her Chemin de Compostelle .
This beautiful lady looks at me so sweetly that I can’t resist.
From time to time I'm crazy about her and I love her all the time.

Nice. Cool backing tracks. nicely mixed.

The prominent bass is a good choice.

It was nice to have the French lyric to follow. Cool to SEE the rhymes...

Enjoyed the listen.

I don't recall hearing a tango recently, and certainly not one in French.

Ha! Great lyric.

I enjoyed listening. smile

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

Christian, Philippe and yourself have delivered a remarkable song.

I'm not sure of the French lyrics, but the English translation is both evocative and sensual.

Nicely done.

Nice work - I love the groove on it, and the tango vibes make for a delightful listen. The vocals flow gorgeously over the instrumentation too, and I thought the mix was concise and professional.

Thanks for sharing smile

Thanks Floyd, Ember, David, Trev and Deryk.
I like to try some musical styles I'm not used to and Tango is one of these. And Philippe has got the voice to sing it ! Christian

This is very cool - excellent music, melody & narrative but the vocal recording isn't up to the rest:
there seems to be a lot of room sound, (could be reverb added), as well as it sounds as if Phillippe is moving to the mic during the 1st line.
Terrific song regardless.


Cheers

Anyway... I like the song... well done, Chris!

Christian (and Phillipe),

Very nice number . . . can see a field of ballroom dancers tango-ing away to this one. Very crisp vocal sitting over a perfectly mixed production. Love the acoustic guitar solo. Well done!

My best to you both,

Deej

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."
