A melancholy ballad about a broken relationship and it's attempt at rebuilding. A BIAB country ballad style with pop guitar phrasing. You can find it here: https://youtu.be/DkzD7oPIj94 Thanks for your support. Comments always welcome. Duane

Hi, Duane. Your songs are top of the line. Seriously good. Saying anything past that seems superfluous. But... I noticed that you have three songs on the front page today - two of which are new. Out of fairness to others on the forum, it's probably best to put stagger your songs, so it gives other people a chance to share the front page. I also noticed you've posted 15 different songs since you've joined. That's a lot of really good music. But... in all your posts, I've only seen two that were comments on other people's songs. While there's no formal rule saying that you need to engage with the community, it would nice to reciprocate. Thanks for posting!

Really good track, both in terms of melody and arrangement! If I may mention one thing that could be improved upon it's that it's sometimes hard to hear what you sing. I think it's mostly a mixing issue.

OK Ronnie, just for you:
When You Coming Home[u][/u]
Heaven sent me you
But he took you away
You fell in his arms
The devil had his day
Now time has erased him
With all the hurt I knew
Forgiving isn't easy
But easier than losing you
CHORUS
So when you coming home
Once again, at my side
I hear it in our voices
Nothing we can't deny
So when you coming home
When you coming home
2nd VERSE
His passion stole you
When mine forgot to be
Do you blame you only
Would be a fools way to see
I took you for granted, I'm guilty as charged
It's been a cold hard lesson
And we both wear the scars
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Here we are, two troubled hearts
Much wiser now since we've been apart
A late night call, but not a call too late
If there's still love than let's control our fate yeah
It's not too late, no
CHORUS and ENDING
So when you coming home
Once again, at my side?
I hear it in our voices
Nothing we can't deny
So when you coming home
When you coming home
When you coming home
When you coming home

Probably my favorite song in his collection so far.

Hi Alexander,
Thanks for your comments. I listened to your track "The Storm" on your website and I must say, it's outstanding!! The female vocalist has a perfect recording voice. Did I detect a slight US southern accent? Just make sure to continue to feed her quality lyrics, the rest you already have in terms of production. I'm curious - why you didn't add an instrumental break in the musical "space" presented before the last chorus? Not that there's anything wrong with what you have, it just dialed the intensity back at that point I thought.
All in all, great job!
Duane

Duane ...
Another stellar submission. Your music is always among the best posts at any given time. In reference to some previous comments, I usually wait three or four days between posts, or until any of my songs have fallen off the first page ... unless it's an older song that someone brought back to the first page after having fallen off the first page.
Nonetheless, I always enjoy your music. Wishing you continued success with your music production. Best to you ...

Hi Alan!
What a lovely and gracious note! Thank you.
Yeah I've been getting beat up a little around here lately. Especially when the rules say make one entry per song. I'm still curious why I got called called out and another member (with a lot more experience) did the same thing as I did on the same day (3 song posted within a minute or two) and not a peep out of the guys who took me to task.
My conduct on this board has also been called into question regarding being a "full participant" whatever that's supposed to mean. I put songs on this board strictly for the entertainment of the listener. If I'm asking people for 3 or 4 minutes of their time I feel it's my obligation to give them something of value for that time. I don't post incomplete songs or vocals with bad intonation, I feel I owe them better. I'm the type of person that's very uncomfortable being critical of other people's art who I don't know. The times I felt it helpful to make a "downer" comment meant to help them, I did so privately so as not to embarrass the poster publicly. I guess the forum police missed those.
Sorry for the rant my friend, but now seemed as good a time as any to respond to my critics. (I won't do this to you again!)
Duane

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.

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."
