One more in my series of simple productions.
Just me on guitar and vocals.
All acoustic.
The percussion is me slapping the guitar and a shaker.

Here's "Bad Like You"

https://soundcloud.com/captainmoto/bad-like-you

Lyrics:

Every man, needs a good woman
And I guess, that might be true
But this old man, aint look'n for noth'n
Cause I got a woman, bad like you.

Oh, you're bad baby, your bad

I like the way, you give me lov'n
I like those evil, things you do
The look in your eyes, oh, tells me something
I want a woman, bad like you

Oh baby, Oh you're bad
Ha ha

Oh my goodness, you're so bad
Liv'n without you, would make me madd

Oh, I don't wanna live without ya, Oh you're bad

~~ Guitar Solo ~~

Keep those sweet girls, away from me uh huh
Send them back to mama, uh huh that's what I do
I got what I want, can't you see
I got a woman, bad like you

Uh hu, ha ha ha, bad like you

Hi Moto,

You've got a great groove going on there and I particularly liked the stripped back mix with nicely panned guitars.

This could easily be by Ry Cooder or JJ Cale and that is high praise.

Only suggestion:
- You may care to add more fills from the guitar in the right speaker - it is very tasty.

Look forward to hearing more like this.

Best Regards
Nigel

Thanks for the comments,
Appreciate your suggestion.
I've got several guitar tracks going there, perhaps the left is a little too loud making the right sound weak.

Hello Moto!! This reminds me to get back to your Spotify channel. There is so much good there. I really like your trimmed down approach here. You have great taste and skill, and always manage to fill the tracks with interesting twists, little pieces of cool that reward the discriminating listener.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Captain,

I love that little riff going on in the verses! It really sticks with you! Kind of a LaGrange vibe going on and man I was waiting for that explosive entrance of the band ....but maybe another time! It's stands just fine on it's own though! Nice work! Thanks, Torrey

Revisit: Eyes on Success featuring PG Music Inc., Band-in-a-Box®, and the Updated JAWS Script

In the past, Eyes on Success featured an episode that discussed our company history and Band-in-a-Box® program with Tobin, our chief development officer, including how Band-in-a-Box® is even more accessible with the help of their JAWS screen reader scripts!

Later on this month, Eyes on Success will be releasing an episode that features Gudrun Brunot talking about her new tutorials about how to use Band-in-a-Box® with JAWS.

It's a great idea to pair the two episodes together!

So, while waiting for their Gudrun Brunot episode, take 30 minutes and to listen to this episode from Eyes on Success. To download and listen to the podcast, use the link www.EyesOnSuccess.net/eos_2344_podcast.mp3

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."
