Hello Dewey
Really good song
The verse and bridge are excellent
For the chorus I would add a distorted rhythm guitar
But that's a matter of taste
In any case I liked your song very much
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Good narrative and the vocal performance is cool.
There does need to be some arrangement switch to lift the chorus...whether it be a pulled back pre chorus, a surprise instrument or a key change.


Cheers

thanks Ray, that seems to be the consensus! I'll for sure experiment with some "chorus" lifting techniques/instruments. Love the constructive criticism because i want to get better!!

Nice write! Catchy song, solid chorus.

I'm with [b]rayc[/i] - it would be nice of the instrumentation changed a bit more one the chorus, to frame it a bit more.

I enjoyed the listen.

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

Dynamic, powerful, well delivered.

That sums up just about everything you produced with this song.

Hi Dewey,

A very nice song, good performance and strong lyrics and vocals!
But I can agree with Ray. I think your song can use some 'surprises', although I also enjoyed it the way it is.
So, to use the title of Marty Straubs' song; now you have 'mixed signals'

A very clever response, Hans, by including Marty's latest effort! Definitely plan to revisit the production in the chorus to see what I can do. Thanks for the feedback!!

Love the vocal, and this is a well written song, Dewey. I agree with What It Needs is a bit more dynamics, although your vocal shines with dynamics. Love the hook. Lyrics are excellent.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Good song, Dewey.

I really liked the prechorus, and I was surprised it only appeared once. Not only it a good lead in to the chorus, but it puts in a slight change of feel. Nice work!

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."
