This is my first attempt using BIAB as backing tracks for my vocals. Haven't written songs for a while felt I was done, but I'm not so I'm learning this as my wife and I don't have a band to back us. So I used the Believe2.sty praise and worship dreamy w/ synth accomp for backing tracks used my Br-1180 for vocals and mastering the tracks together. added Chorus on the instruments and reverb on the vocals. Stay safe everyone. thanks

Come Find Me

I've been looking for a river
There's no water to be found
I've been looking for the ocean
in the middle of dry ground
I'm looking for some answers
it feels like it's far away
no matter how long the road ahead lies
I come back round again

chorus:
So Come find me lookind
Come find me here
Come find me singing
breaking free from all my fear
come find me I'm right here

I've been looking for a forest
yet no trees can I find
I've been looking for some cllarity
all I find is a muddled mind
I keep searching and seeking
looking for the story's end
I find more questions than answers
than I'm on the road again

I enjoyed the song - you've got a nice voice. smile

You didn't say what kind of feedback (if any) you wanted on the song, but I'll just mention the drums seem over-processed to me. But if that's the sound you're after... ignore what I just wrote. wink

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

David...nice work, and I enjoyed your vocal and composition. I especially liked the idea of finding/right here. Keep working with, and exploring, BIAB's tools--"they" can be just the right back-up band for you.

Also, please include the lyrics--helps the listening/feedback.

It'd be nice to see your lyrics and to have info. about the way you constructed the song.
Current mix - the vocals are too far forward and the drums sound like they're under a blanket.
The song sounds good so i look forward to your mixes and BIAB use developing.


Cheers

Really good voice and a very nice song. Just mixing issues that need to be addressed. I'm still learning that myself. You'll get there, just keep posting songs here.

I agree.

This is a diamond that just needs a little polish.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Welcome to the forum. Excellent vocal and lyric. Liked your choice of instruments for the song. I think the other fellows that have comment covered the mix. Just needs a few minor adjustments..

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!

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."
