When grasping the fact of me being able to just boldly be me, this song - Get A Life - came out and literally used me as a device to make itself heard. Let your own voice out - You are Special, You are Enough, You are allowed to be You. Listen to your inner self as it speaks to you and deal with it properly. - Rock Brookhill - -------------------------------------------- GETALIFE.SGU Key=Em , Tempo 140 RealTracks in style: 1522:Bass, Electric, PopPower8s Ev 120 Loop in Song: House-Techno-Trance\House - crunchy_120_drums ev16.wav RealTracks in style: 658:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasRockChop Ev 120 (A:sync) RealTracks in style: 660:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasRockCrisp Ev 120 RealDrums in style:BluesRockEv^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Open HiHat In addenum I played 3rd riff-guitar and solo - even though being a bassist :-) - into the mix done by using Reaper.

Oh Yeah... Watch it... ... Ha Ha Ha... ... Oh Yeah... Eat this... ... Ha Ha Ha Ha... B3: Knowing how sweet it feels to be free How long it takes all others to see? Just let go, release and get a life - Never again there’ll be a strain on me I’m ready to stand on my own two feet Released it all, I’ve got a brand new life Now I own my life - _________________________ I hope you like this tune!

I believe you have captured the energy that is propelling and will continue to propel a lot of the changes in the world soon, now that people have seen the insane media narrative for what it is. Yes! Life is real. Life is what YOU say it is and life is FUN. So yes, turn off CNN and get a life!! Exactly. Good job! I want to believe that in some small way you were inspired by our recent song "Life is Hard" posted elsewhere on this forum. Just kidding. Welcome Rock!

I can see that being done live in a coliseum. Couple the excellent audio with the video and ....well, it's a top quality package. Welcome to the forums and .....what a way to introduce yourself.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

You'll find this song of mine also on Spotify among a few other places now: https://open.spotify.com/track/6uUxLZiPadcxwwimGZuaJ5?si=a90101af2b044927 If you see it fit, add it to your playlist. Also, I really wouldn't mind, if you'd share that link to your friends... :-D You'll be hearing more of me in the future in this Forum - A Promise! :-) I listened your project song "Music Comes From Our Heart" on the Forum. You guys are great! All that done in "decentrealized studio" - tracks from around the world. So fine! Thanks again!

OP Brookhill Newbie B Joined: Dec 2018 Posts: 10 Estonia and Finland	Hello Herb! Thank you!!! I am really pleased you found my tune worth listening to. That song came out from true feeling - an outburst. As I've never done any recordings all by myself earlier, this was a bit of a "quantumleap" to me. Also with the video. I've never done those before. Somekind of "flow" or "definite need" struck me and in just three days the tune was composed and arranged with lyrics and finalized in Reaper. Making the video took approx. five days as I had to search the s/w to do it (OpenShot) and some material to show on the screen. I added that "White Noise" intro into video a bit after the first version of the video was ready. Probably, the next songs come out a bit easier - electronics & devices are now tested! :-D Thanks again!

MAN, then you come out with that guitar (Flying V in video), and the track really begins to take off. It surely brought me with it. Very powerful. Such a good vocal. The solo is quite interesting. When you said this "Listen to your inner self as it speaks to you and deal with it properly," I knew you were a bass player.

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."
