Here's a very short bluegrass number about a man trying to tell a cat who's boss. I hope you enjoy it.

https://soundcloud.com/sam-buttrey/dontputyourcatbuttinmyface

Style is _BGMEDLY.STY (Old Time Bluegrass Band w/ Soloi)

RealTracks in style: ** N/A ** ~427:Bass, Acoustic, Bluegrass Ev 130
RealTracks in style: ** N/A ** ~426:Banjo, Bluegrass Ev 130 (Rhythm)
RealTracks in style: ** N/A ** ~431:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Bluegrass Ev 130
RealTracks in style: ** N/A ** ~428:Fiddle, Rhythm Bluegrass Ev 130
RealTracks in style: ** N/A ** ~432:Mandolin, Rhythm Bluegrass Ev 130

My DAW is Reaper and it provided some compression and reverb and stuff.

Assuming that the intention of this song is to create some levity , then I would say that you succeeded beyond all expectations smile (BTW that is a long winded compliment)

Hi Butterey,

very funny!!!

But you're on the wrong track: You may be LISTED as the owner of that place, but that's only the official version. A cat may - possibly, maybe, perhaps, under certain circumstances, on occasions, sometimes - grant you the right to share the same apartment, but that cat butt is the price you have to pay. If you still dont cooperate: They surely have more sophisticated means and ways to drive you nuts,...

Enjoyed it a lot !!!

Take care,

Stefan

Funny!
Good performance on the vocals too.
The band's a little too quiet but I get the decision.
There's some de-essing that would be done if it were mine as sibilant sounds send me insane.
Reaper will allow you to do that VERY easily.


Cheers

Agree with rayc on production issues...but I’m glad I listened in...15 minutes after my feline friend did this exact thing to me! Well said, although falls on deaf ears, I’m told. Fun and enjoyable work!

Hahaha. Well done, Buttrey! Our granddaughter, who just turned 6, loves it, too! She thought you were Keller Williams. Love it. She KNOWS this song was written about our cat.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks for the tips and the nice words. My "production" style is hit-and-miss, mostly miss, but I'll get better, maybe. Thanks.

Very funny stuff. Good bluegrass job.

Yep.... that's why I have dogs. They come with their own peculiarities.... like licking their butts and then coming to lick you.... but I'll take a dog any day. Besides that, I'm allergic to cats. Yep seriously allergic. And yeah, a dog will show you his hinter parts too.

As an owner of two very unique cats (one that requires a sweater to stay warm, and one that demands constant attention), I definitely appreciate the fun nature of this song! Thanks for sharing.


Cheers,

Ha! Clever and funny lyrics, with which every cat owner will surely be able to identify.

Buttrey,

As an owner of two cats, I can totally relate to this. And having had to work from home these last few months, with the kitties jumping up on the desk and walking back and forth across my lap top, so true! A funny, clever tune, well executed and sung. The band could probably come up a bit more in the mix, but otherwise nicely done!

Best regards,

Deej

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."
