Look forward to more!

Hi guys and thanks for the listen. Yeah I love the blues but strangely, I've only ever written two. The other one, that I wrote 20 years ago, I'm working now in BIAB.
Thanks again
Martin

Its not surprising folks thought the guitar track was yours- its a great fit with your vocal.

Hi Robert, Thanks for the listen and the comments. Yeah, those guitar tracks in BIAB can really reward you if you have the patience to spend the time:

I love everything about 'I'm Falling". Your writing radiates competence left, right and centre. The imagery is strong, the lyric sits so very comfortably with the melody and the way that you use lyric-rhythm and -rhyme to sail the listener along as you weave your way from beginning to end is a real credit to your well-honed abilities.

And your singing.... just "WOW!" The passion, the drive and the sincerity in your vocals made for a very, very engaging listen.

Because you asked for input... My only minor thought, and it seriously is nothing more than a thought, is that I found myself wondering what the sax would have sounded like if it had a similar reverb/delay treatment to the vocals. What prompted this was that both sax and voice are lead instruments so an element of matching might strengthen the overall. Then again, it might not make a difference.

As I said above, and I resolutely stand by it, this is AWESOME!!!!

All the best for 2020,
Noel

P.S. I sincerely hope Michael Buble hears this. It would suit him so well!


Wow Noel, I'm speechless. I don't know what to say. Thank you so much for all your kind words, it means a lot. You make a very interesting point about the sax reverb that never occurred to me but makes perfect sense. Thanks for that.

Again, thank you so much, I'm really pleased you liked it.

Take care.

Martin

All my best,

Hi Deej, Thank you for the listen and the comments. So glad you liked it.

Let's hope Mikey feels the same someday! smile

All the best

Great tune and singing, enjoyed it a lot. Was the sax done on the Roland? I agree the lead guitar could be more sparse and not step on the vocal. Great work!

Hi TuneMonger and thanks for the listen. Thanks for the comments. The sax solo is a BIAB track. Somehow I missed putting it in my original post.
For reference it was:

Soloist is saved with the song : Sax,Alt,Sol,SmtJzCoolSw75Blz (1055)

Thanks again

What a tune! It flows tremendously well, and your vocals sound top notch on this. The sax fit in perfectly as well, and I thought it was nicely catchy. A+ on the mix too.

Thanks for sharing smile

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."
