Hi everyone,

I know its crowdy on the forum, but I had to place this new song about New Times and New Rules. Its a kind of House and Rock, so it has a heavy beat. It deals with the changing times and the -negative- aspects were dealing with. I don't mean the Corona virus, although that is awful too, but selfishness and autocracy and all what comes with that. The lyrics aren't so heavy though.

Listen to it: https://soundcloud.com/user-296497130/new-times-new-rules

The style is CARRYON.STY
RealTracks in song: ~683:Basguitar, Electric, PopHalfNotesPush Gel 120
RealTracks in song: 2625:Guitar, Bariton Electric
RealTracks in song: 3539:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm MetalCinematicLowTuneSteadyDarin Ev16 110
Loop in Song: House-Techno-Trance\House - helluva_night_128_drum_loop_a_minor ev16.wav
Loop in Song: World\Arabian - forever_85_string_section_staccato_c_sharp_minor.wav
Loop in Song: House-Techno-Trance\Trance - bassline4_135_c ev16.wav
RealDrums [in Song:FunkHalfNotePulseTambo: a: Snare, Kickb: Busy Kick, Snare

You notice there are 3 loops in the song. But beside these instruments I also included 3 keyboardtracks from Output / Native Instruments, analog strings, Substance bassline and Exhale vocals.
So altogether a lot of noise, but in a in a responsible manner (I hope).

Let me know what I can improve or whatever. I like to learn.
Hans

The lyrics *) I saw one word was cleared because it was a 'bad' word. It's about someone's butt:

New Times, New Rules
(c) HwBerkhout 10-03-20

When I was young I believed in fairy tales
They end up wel and the bad guys loose
Aha
Now I've learned it's the other way around,
the good guys loose and the bad guys win, all the time
Aha
And if you try to change these things
people come to you in anger, they say:

Refrein
Hé you!, Mind your own business
Right here!
Mind your own business, I say
Right now!
Better keep on moving
Nothing's going on here
It's just your imagination
So keep that in mind

Unlike the fairy tales politicians behave less in favor of you
They'd become autocrats
Aha
It's all for the benefit of themselves and their friends.
So, don't you forget that
Aha
If you want to change all these things
people come to you in anger and they shout:

Refrein 2
Hé you!, mind your own business
Right here!
Mind your own business, I say
Right now!
Better keep on moving
Nothing's going on here
It's just your imagination
So, hit the road, boy

Solo

Refrein 3
And they shout:Hé you!, Mind your own business
Right here!
Mind your own business
Get used to new times!
Keep your fat [*****] moving
Nothing's going on here
It's just your imagination
So keep that in mind

Refrein 4
Hé you!, Mind your own business
Right here!
Mind your own business
New times, new rules!
Better keep on moving
Nothing's going on here
It's just your imagination
So, hit the road, boy
Yes, hit the road, boy!

Love the intro. Vocals are cool! The string loop is a nice touch.

And now I know the Dutch spelling of "hey!". smile

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

Hans,
Great energy and attitude in your vocal carries this ( sounds like you had fun getting angry)...and of course the beat helps too.
An interesting mix of styles- the staccato strings were my favourite seasoning to the pulsing stew!

Nicely done - love the energy in this as Robert said, and your vocals are right on point. Loved how it flows and thought the mix was top notch as well.

Thanks for sharing!

After just listening Janice & Bud song The Way Things Are, another bit depressing story.
Luckily the surprising sharp instrumentation and angry interpretation lifts me up from the cave of the dark times smile
Kind of rocking Prodigy with a strong message. Your crisp voice carries the song thoroughly. I think that good and well-behaving guys are not in fashion and their supporters are in minority at the moment.

Hans,

I really like this.

Great energy. Cool instrumentation.

Love the angry vocal!! Good mix.

Very well done and a very engaging listen.

Excellent use of BIAB - something different, great to hear.

One of your best!

What great lines and so true.

You anger was really good! I kept expecting "get the hell of my lawn" grin

Seriously this is one really good song!

Quite different from what we usually hear around here. Excellent use of the program, and a very strong composition and vocal.

Really well done.

Hi David,

Yes, automatically I used the Dutch spelling of the word 'Hey' in the lyrics. Stupid of me not thinking about that. But thanks for your compliments. I was puzzled a bit you loved the intro. Was that all you loved confused grin

Hi Robbert,

Thanks for your compliments and observation. And yes, it felt nice to shout 'Hey you...etc. The only problem with that was the recording immediately jumped to super red and I faced distortion!
And with those staccato strings you mean the Arabic loop? Say straight from the beginning of the song? That is a loop I found in the loopsection of BiaB. But I also used staccato strings from Output, but played that on my keyboard.
And yes, all those noises ('the stew') together gave me some problems mixing them properly. But all went well afterwards.

Hello Deryk,

Thanks for your comment on the song. as I wrote Robbert, the shouting and the lot of sounds in the song gave me some challenge getting it all in place. My son described that Arabic loop as a sound for a pc-game. We don't want him to come around anymore now, of course!

but I was asking myself; "why all those sounds in this song"? But it had to do with the subject. The unkindness, the harshness, all that haste, etcetera. That feeling had to be in the song in some way. Glad to read it worked out fine for you!

Good day Janne,

What a difference in style both songs are! I do agree. I listened to their song as well. It is beautiful. Compared to my song in where the singing is quiet different, I'd rather listen to their song then mine. But I'm glad I lifted you up!
It is (a bit) funny both J&B and I handled a subject at the same time about human behaviour nowadays (beside the Corona problems). As you corectly stated: "good and well-behaving guys (and girls) are not in fashion and their supporters are in minority at the moment". I hope 'the moment' won't last too long...

But I do like your using of the word 'prodigy' for my song. Gave me a nice feeling. Thanks for that and all your other compliments,

Hans

Hi Hans,

you keep cranking them out lately...

Very good in all aspects: Great arrangement / use of BIAB (like always), very dedicated lyrics (like always), most enerhetic vocals (like always).

And I love the fact that you manage to come up with so many different styles - hats off !

All the best,

Stefan

As Robert said, "sounds like you had fun getting angry..." smile

It's been said so we will get redundant!

Fine lyric

Fine vocal

Fine RT/RD band...love those loops, As Ray said a great melange.

Fine mix...sounds great turned up on the monitors.

And, yes, the message is not uplifting (like our current tune) but sometimes
one needs a good shot of reality. And this certainly provides it.

Kudos for a well done production!

Hans,
Pretty cool and original! I like when people experiment with genres & sound and I feel this is perfect example. Not too abstract to get confused & has plenty of features to stay focused. Mix is good, not your best smile but good!!! Vocals are clear and not too distant. You done a excellent job on breaking the mold.
Thank you for sharing!

Misha.

Hi there Dave,

Yes I like to do things that are sometimes far out of my comfort zone.
Like what that does to me, although I have to overcome some ramps...
The main reason is I'm curious and want to learn. Don't you?
I am now working on a song with a steelband. Some challenge!
But I think it will be on the forum in about some days.
Thanks for your comment, Dave!

Hi Floyd,

I'm always curious what you would reply on my songs. Mostly it is someting on the eq in the higher vocal regions. And always you are right about it. But in this post I read only compliments! Then I knew I'm on the right direction to improvement. Thanks for giving me that nice feeling!

And yes, sometimes it's nice singing a bit angry. Especcially if you feel that way. And there was one line in the lyrics from my sister in Australia. The line that was "cleaned" in this forum because it was considered as inappropriate language. She couldn't understand what I was singing and thought I was that, but it was a line very lovely to sing...

Hi Mario,

Thanks a lot for your nice words!
It's sometimes dangerous to talk (or sing) about politicians. Before you know it you receive all kinds of nasty comments. But luckily I am not that scared ;-)

Read my comment on the post to Floyd about the anger. I'm not such an angry 'young' man. But so now and then it's nice to sing like this. It is only difficult not to get a clipped vocaltrack! Completely in red. This one also ended in super red, so I had to adjust the volume of those parts. a bit a pity, but unavoidable.

Hello Peter,

I agree with you we don't hear this kind of music often on this forum. I experienced it before when I made a 'metall' song about the Dutch. And wait for my next song! Something with a steelband...
But with doing this I can explore BiaB thoroughly on interesting sounds.
Thanks again for your compliments, Peter!

Hans

Hi Hans ...

I **REALLY** like this! A modern sound with terrific backing tracks. As mentioned, the anger in your vocal really sells this. Love those pizzicato string hit! This is a great song that was a terrific listen! Good work!

Wishing you the best ...

Hi Stefan,

I love cranking things, not just a bit!
But thanks for your positive judgement of the song! Especially the lyrics! That's why I didn't sent them to you (or Ray). I feared they came back to me heavily underlined in red! ;-)
No, as you know, I'm teasing the both of you.

I hope you like me experimenting with styles, because very soon I will post a song with a steelband. Luckily BiaB had one in the instrument cabinet...

All the best,
Hans

Hello Ray,

I am very pleased with all those compliments from you.
But I want you to stay sharp on my songs; too sharp, too loud or whatever. That's what you normally say. So I'm getting a bit nerveous, because it can't be I'm that perfect. Am I?

Hold on with your government,
Hans

Hi Janice and Bud,

It's not my normall behaviour being angry, as you certainly will know. But in certain 'occasions' one needs to raise his voice. The only problem is that those 'occasions' are increasing these days! And I don't want to yell in all my future songs.

I am really glad with what you said about the mix that stands your monitors! I remember the first time you wrote me about your monitors. It had to do with a song I posted some while ago. I was so amazed people testing songs at the max of the volume on their monitors. but at the same time it also filled me (a bit) with pride because you did this ánd my mix holds. And now I did it again!

I also like the idea our songs being 2 sides of the same coin in this issue. In a way we work together now ;-)

Thanks for all your compliments,
Hans

Hi TuneMonger,

I really appreciate what you wrote.
I hesitated a bit about adding those yelling voices in the back, but because they expressed their annoyance and despair I kept them in.
so thanks a lot for listening and your comment,

Hello Misha,

It looks you are taking Rays' role in commenting my song ;-) : (Mix is good, not your best smile but good!!!)

But on the other hand, you wrote a lot of nice things about me and the song. That flatters me!
I am doing my best trying to get a good sound. You know how I (we) struggled with eq's, mixing and all those things. Still I know I have a lot to learn! when I hear some beautifully recorded and mixed songs I know I have a long road to walk...
And trying something different or new is what I allways like to do. For me there is not one mold, but I think that counts you in as well, am I right?

So thanks for listening (the first time and now again).
I'm very happy with your comment,
Hans

Thanks for your enthusiastic comment on the song and dating it being from the 80's as style.
I had no date on the style of the song, but yours is good enough for me ;-)

Yes!! Your voice shouting out the lyrics and your choice of loops and the backing sounds really convey the message brilliantly, Hans. I concur!


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks for your comment, but next song I won't shout my lyrics into the air, I promise!
I will do something else, maybe you like that too.

Mr. Berkhout...

Hm-m-m...I think you must have got a lot of something off your chest with your song, New Times, New Rules laugh. It's got guts and drive, and attitude! Made me want to shove my fist in the air and shout, "RIGHT ON, HANS, TELL IT LIKE IT IS, BROTHER!!! mad "

The righteous indignation in your vocal performance reminded me of the way Don Henley belted-out the lyrics to his sharply observant song about media corruption, Dirty Laundry, in 1982. Also, I liked the barely-heard voices, or voice FX, that seemed to emanate from one of the exotic loops you used. The somewhat assymetric structure of the verses was ear-catching, too.

Ya' got it in yo' soul, Mr. Berkhout, and you definitely got your message out into the world on this one. Keep on speaking truth to power laugh !!!

Hello Bluage,

What a nice post of you! I'm very sorry I responded so late, but I was very amused by what you wrote and also how you wrote it.
I can see before my eyes how you shout out what you wrote and have that fist in the air! That's the way I want to see people reacton this kind of songs...

It's interesting of you to mention those vocals in the background in the song. Actually these are not loops, but from a program called Exhale. You can manipulate voices with your keyboard. Very nice program. But I was hesitating a bit when using it. I asked myself; isn't this too dramatic? I couldn't decide it was, so left it ion the song. And you are the only one mentioning them. Nice!

So thanks again for your very kind and nicely chosen words!

Hans

Excellent song, and great lyrics and message. You may disagree but I got a real Who/Stones vibe in there in the vocal delivery and the lyrics, and the "anti-establishment" attitude, and this carries over in the the musical style. It's clearly not straight rock and roll. It really works though - you need a lot of energy in a song like this and you deliver.

I like this. Really good lyrics and exciting tune to listen too. Always good to listen to a song with a strong message as well!

I like the way you've melded all the different tracks in together. I've always found that whenever I get that many it all sounds very messy but you've definitely mixed them together into a really exciting sounding song.

Hi Ed, sorry I respond so late. I must have missed your nice post. and of course I won't disagree whith you if you have Who or Rolling Stones feelings when listening to this song and my vocals. But I wouldn't dare saying such things to people in this forum! I think they put a label on my name saying; "this guy is too vain. Ignore him...". But now you are telling it, they believe this is true. I like that. And it was great fun making it. My Australian sister altered one line, she thought I was singing about a fat [*****], so she wrote that to me and I used it in the song.

Hi Richard, to you the same apology as to Ed. And what you wrote about the melding, that was what happened the first times. I couldn't mix that well and it became muddy and also too sharp. But I tried some more and I succeeded. Just trie something. You have the fun if it goes well. Well... I did!

Thanks again and stay save,
Hans

This sounds really great Hans! I agree that it has a Who feel to it.

Good in my book!

User Video: Next-Level AI Music Editing with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box®

The Bob Doyle Media YouTube channel is known for demonstrating how you can creatively incorporate AI into your projects - from your song projects to avatar building to face swapping, and more!

His latest video, Next-Level AI Music Editing with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box, he explains in detail how you can use the Melodist feature in Band-in-a-Box with ACE Studio. Follow along as he goes from "nothing" to "something" with his Band-in-a-Box MIDI Melodist track, using ACE Studio to turn it into a vocal track (or tracks, you'll see) by adding lyrics for those notes that will trigger some amazing AI vocals!

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."
