Great mix & overall production.

Simply top quality music.

Amen to that and the message of this song!
For my $ the best vocal yet by Chris - her timing and ferocity are a perfect compliment to the lyrics.

Robert


I think she did a great job on this too, thanks, Robert!

A powerful song. A powerful vocal to match. And excellent background vocals.

The production adds to the power. The acoustic is really well done. And the electrics and piano are blended in seamlessly as they join. Nice bass. Excellent drum choice. Tasteful percussion additions (you are so good at "the little things" - the art of production). Great mix.

If y'all raise that bar any higher you're gonna make it impossible to get over smile

Music.

Man, I've learned so much about production and mixing from hanging out here over the last few years from guys like you ... I'm just trying to keep up wink

Thanks, floyd!

This one, I heard last week and right away bookmarked it. Good going. BTW, impressive body of work Dave and Chris are creating -- Go, Blue Attitude!


Hi Ed,

I didn't realize you were following our music. Thanks for dropping by, we both appreciate it smile

I'm amazed how you can be so productive and still produce great quality songs one after another, thanks for this one too.

Thanks, Janne!

Thanks, David! Hope you will be back soon with some music, you have been missed!

After what I read in all the posts on your strong song, what can I add?
What I liked especially is when Chris sings the last line of the chorus and the leadguitar follows like it was glued to her voice. Very nice effect!
The song, the vocals, the instruments all were delicious to listen to, although most of your songs are too!

Cheers,
Hans



Hi Hans, thanks for mentioning that part during the solo, that is my favorite part smile

If I had heard this in a record shop I would have purchased it right then and there. This is definitely air play ready.


Thanks, Mario!

For me as well, this is not a style that I would normally listen to but those vocals and that guitar rocked hard, and pulled me into your world, and won me over. It's still echoing through my head now ...

Thanks for a great song and a super performance!


One of the things I like about this site is you get to hear music genres you might not normally listen too. Helps you grow as a musician I think.

Thanks for the listen/comments!

Many great compliments have already been said, obviously. About the best I can say is, I will be listening to this for years. I feel like I have heard something really great. It just nails everything soooooo right for me.

Truly, thank you to the two of you for melding all of your talents into such great work. Man, this made me day!


Very kind of you, Caaron, thanks very much! And it's time you posted a new one I think? wink

Terrific vocals and great overall performance, arrangement and production.



Thanks for the listen and kind works, Charlie!

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.

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."
