Bawb, Stefan, Marty, Dave, musician17, Greg and J&B:

Thanks fo much for the listens on this one. It was a lot of fun to do—something a bit different and certainly challenging. I still haven’t worked up the courage to go back in and try a remix, LOL! But hopefully the few changes I made earlier took some of the brightness out of the original post.

J&B: The number of tracks is a bit deceiving . . . the organ and stonez electric guitar really just make cameos, and of course the clarinet doesn’t come in until the very end (and I think I fade it out early in the outro.

My very best to you each—stay safe, stay well!

Hello Deej66,

Very catchy composition on sentimental lyrics from bygone times. It is pleasant to listen to and your voice is well balanced compared to the musical arrangement.

Best regard

I like this rocker. I thought that the lyrics and the 50's groove worked well together. I liked your vocal, lyrics, backing tracks, and mix.

To nitpick I thought that at times the piano was a tad to loud when you were singing, making it a little difficult to clearly hear you. This is a small nitpick but one IMHO would make this really shine. Regardless this is a really good song.


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.

Definitely a fun old school rocker. You are the creator, the one with the vision. so take the music where you want with the lyrics. It's fun to experiment.

Deej & TM ...

I like it! Indeed, a bit of an unexpected mix of lyric and band ... but very enjoyable. I'm coming late and you've already made some mixing adjustments, so I cannot compare this to the original post. I liked this a lot. Perhaps the piano is a bit too forward but that certainly didn't dilute the listening pleasure.

Two talented song creators and one terrific song. Works for me! I always do a lot of experimenting and have some odd mixes I;ve never posted. But it's a lot of fun cruising the various BIAB hallways to see what's behind the various doors. It's your song ... do it your way!

Wishing you both he very best ... be safe.

Alan

Hi guys, this one seemed to start coming together for me at around 2:00. Deej, you always do a great job with the vocals! Nice collaboration! The fade out was a good choice! Thanks, T

Dero, Alexander, Mario, Ezekial, Al, Torrey and F.M.M.:

Thanks so much for the listens. Really glad you all seemed to enjoy it. As I referenced above, a challenging mix for a guy of my limited talents. Seems the piano being to forward is a common theme I'll have to think about. I knew early on, when I stumbled on the Piano RT for this one, I really wanted it to carry the song and be the centerpiece. Perhaps I clung to that a little too much. At some point, I'll revisit this . . . your feedback is very helpful.

My best to each of you,

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!

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."
