Great country song. You have a super voice. The backing track and mix were spot on.

Hello Reno,

A straight going very nice song with good vocal harmonies.
A nice band with that steel guitar.

I read why you chose the word 'wheel', but 'merry-go-round' was another option. Or is this no proper American word ;-) ?

I liked it!
Hans

There're a couple of spots where the "old man whistle" appears and it becomes accentuated by the processing.
You can manage that with a de-esser or, better still, some manual level control BEFORE the effects kick in.
You've assembled a nice band.
It'd be cool to know what style, what instruments and what processing you used to carry your good narrative.
The song does need something to end with - a modulation, a tempo change - something.

Life is Like a Wheel indeed...it's also a case of swings n roundabouts.
Unfortunately I won't be listening to your other tracks as there're lots of folk who post on the forum but get pushed off the 1st page when someone posts multiple tracks in a short period of time. I'll have to go to the "back pages" to dig them up & listen/comment.
You'll have noted that several forum members have commented. It's not required, or even expected in this day n age, that folk reciprocate but it's nice when they do.
No, I don't want you to listen to my stuff, but dig through some of the posts from other folk and give them a boost perhaps.

Looks like I missed this the first time around.

Looks like - sort of like that wheel you're singing about - it came around again. wink

Pleasant song - easygoing, good fit for the song. Nice harmonies, too. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

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.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

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."
