Thanks Leo,

The guitar in the intro hooked me right in.

Sounds a unique hybrid between the Doors and Sixto Rodriguez.

Vocal is perfectly delivered. Mix is spot on.

Again, that guitar...love that sound!

Captain, I like your approach to the production and arrangement on this one! The minimal instrumentation really let's this song breathe! Great vocals to go with a great song! Take care, T

Nothing new to add that others haven't already said.

This type of minor blues arrangement always sets up nicely for some good soloing. And you delivered. The guitars sound great and the vocal is perfect for the mood. Well done, Tom

Very cinematic in a mysterious and ethereal manner.

This would be a great ending credits song for a tv series.

"the golden glow of day break, brings the morning light
To wash away the shadows and the dreams she had last night"

Nice line of many.

We love open airy mixes and this is a fine one. Yeah, less is often more but it takes a good ear and some skill to pull it off. You established a nice soundstage...sounds great on the KRK's.

Your vocal and guitar performances are both well done and arranged.

Hi CaptainMoto
A wonderful vibe, with so many fine details
The song, your performence, the tremolando solo, the choir and that simple bass to die for.
Very well done

Captain,
A beautifully restrained arrangement which serves the song`s mood well.
Your guitar tone is so good here.
Vocals have a nice relaxed feel.
The lyrics drew me in... and perhaps left me wanting a little more sensuality ( thinking of my own erotic dreams no doubt!).

Hi Cap'n,

A very compelling track.

Loved it from the first sliding-in guitar notes - the intro sounded very Peter Green.

All very nicely put together and excellent lyrics which which left just enough room
for the listener to interpret the meaning for themselves.

Excellent.

ROG.

Your opening is captivating! Brilliantly executed. Wonderful composition and instrument choices.

A sweet moody mystical ride!

And I'm a fan of the lyrics. I had to listen again because they snuck up on me.

Great song!

Cap'n ...

Janice and Bud beat me to the word that came to mind after 20 or 30 seconds of listening: ethereal. Everything about this simple shines. Wonderful lyric to a delicious soundstage. It's my favorite from you, of the ones I heard. It reminds me of something Chris Isaak might have recorded. Really good stuff! Take care ...

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks

MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:

There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:

1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track

Review - Band-in-a-Box® 2023 for Windows is Overflowing with Features!

Dennis posted his very thorough Band-in-a-Box® review recently, where he dives into some of the new features added with version 2023: Sound-Guy's Band-in-a-Box Review

Read his thoughts on the Download & Install Manager, partial track regeneration, Playable RealTracks, Audio Editing, the addition of SynthMaster, the VST DAW Plugin, and more!

"Band-in-a-Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is, without negative connotation, a monster of a program. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. No DAW can do some of the things BIAB does, while BIAB can do a lot that DAWs do."
