I spent twenty-some years traveling with a group of guys, a vocal band called Single Heart...we sang our songs in small venues (mostly churches, prisons, etc) and we often opened with this song. BiaB has given me the best track to finally rest these vocals in and I appreciate that. It's just a simple chorus and bridge...the appeal for me is in the harmonies and the key changes...hope you all like it!

Fantastic harmonies

Outstanding mix

Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

There's a bit of imbalance between the amount of reverb on the vocals and the instruments, so it doesn't quite gel.

But - as you said - outstanding vocals and harmonies. laugh

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

This sounds wonderful. A pro recording. Wonderful vocal harmonies. This is the real deal as far as the genre goes. It must have been fun touring and doing the little shows. That's the life, I suspect, if one is able to pull it off.

More like this, please.

Dan,

What a beautiful song! A great opening tune that really sets the mood for a time of worship! The vocals are outstanding! I have also played in prisons (once in Eastern Europe in a place literally within sight of Ukraine) and despite the fact that you have a captive (pardon the pun) audience, those guys really seem to appreciate the music more (not always) than people on the outside! I guess it's because they've had time to reflect on their life choices. I so appreciate all the work you post here because I know it's put together for the right reasons!

Thanks, Torrey

Thanks so much Torrey...yeah prisons were some of our best times in ministry...the guys are so appreciative and loved to participate though most were not singers...we had a lead singer once who was a prison singer...he was always "behind a few bars and couldn't find the right key!"...glad you liked the song.

Good choices in the backing tracks you chose. The backing track let the great vocals and harmonies shine. Wonderful arrangement and performance.

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."
