Here is my newest song. I was shooting for a mellow tune. I think I hit it for the most part. The mix isn't bad, but it can always be better when I'm at the board. Here are the particulars: Dire_SL Even Rock Ballad (85 RT) 34 Finger Electric Bass 27 Jazz Electric guitar 1 Standard Drum Kit 26 Acoustic Guitar 50 Slow Stings 12 Vibes 1 Acoustic Piano I am playing my PSRE403 Yamaha keyboard through the Cl1 interface into Mixcraft 5. I sang vocals into my SP1 mic, via Cl1 interface, into Mixcraft 5. All mixing done in Mixcraft 5. I created a Soundcloud account, although I'll still post my bandcamp account too since it looks like Soundcloud may put adds on some plays (not sure). I'm not sure how to get Soundcloud to start playing automatically like some of you have. I learn...I hope. Anyway, here is: Come Back Home on Soundcloud and Come Back Home on bandcamp. Thanks for any listens and comments. Come Back Home
Oh love,
Now the rain is falling
Oh love
You've got no place to go
Oh love,
Can you hear me calling
Oh love
Calling you back home
Home is where you're safe dear
Home is where you're warm
Home is where love's waiting
At the door
For you to come home
Oh love,
You see your bridges burning
Oh love,
Don't cross them all alone
Oh love,
Now the wheels are turning
Oh love,
Turn your wheels back home
Home is where you're safe dear
Home is where you're warm
Home is where love's waiting
At the door
For you to come home
Home is where you're safe dear
Home is where you're warm
Home is where love's waiting
At the door
For you to come home
For you to come home

Your song started playing automatically for me over on SC, no problem. Maybe for you it didn't because you were already logged in?
Nice ballad, enjoyed the listen.

Seems SoundCloud is pretty random with ads. But, hey, jptjptjpt, this is a fun song. Well built --built to last. HA! I just tried to play it again, but gotta hear this ad first. Totally worth the wait. Here we go. The strings are perfectly subtle, but I can't find the vibes. Welcome home, man.

jpt, A nice song. Tracks are nicely done and fit the tone of the song well. Mix sounds good. fj HA! I just tried to play it again, but gotta hear this ad first. In all the times I've been on Soundcloud (a lot), I've never heard an ad...

Thank you for the listens and comments everyone. I appreciate it. Marty - it might not have vibes. I think I may have deleted that track.

Hello jptjptjpt,
Sweet melody, the sober arrangement is pleasant. The lyrics with this nostalgic side are sweet. Composition to listen to by the fireside.

jptjptjpt,
God tune. Solid form and arrangement. I think mix has a bit more reverb to my taste, but works. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

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."
