"WITHIN" Is another of my originals (words and music). I used BIAB for all the backing tracks. Any feedback will be appreciated.

Here is the link to "WITHIN" on my SOUNDCLOUD account.

Good song, Allan, and i like the harmony. I'd like to hear the vocals a little more our front, but that's just an opinion. Good choice on the band, too.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks, Marty. That is really helpful. I'll probably do just that and move up the vocals.

Nice tune - a bit of a Dire Straits vibe.

Liked the vocal and harmony - an engaging tune. Agree with Marty maybe bring the vocal up a bit (and maybe a touch of reverb?).

Good work.

Morning Mr. Judd,
You've posted four songs but haven't commented, reviewed, dropped in to say hello on the works of others.
It's time to commune.


Cheers

Cool song Allan,
Good band mix. your vocal may be, ever so slightly, too low in the mix.
You might look at dealing with sibilant sounds, (essing). It's not too bad but is there - a little bit of treatment goes a long way.

Nice tune, I liked the "oh yeahs" in it. Yes, it sounded like Dire Straits. Good work on both performance and production.

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
