I have Samsung notes on my phone, and so I wouldn't lose my train of thought, I started writing and this is what I came up with. Lord I Want To Be A Witness https://soundcloud.com/ronniefields/lord-i-want-to-be-a-witness Lord I Want To Be A Witness Lord I want to be a witness, tell what you’ve done for me. You brought me out of darkness, into a life eternally. Let me tell about your sacrifice, and the price you had to pay. Lord I want to be a witness, to tell about that rapture day. Lord you know I am a vessel, that you molded with your clay. I was broke in many pieces, you put together in your way. You made me that I can testify, about the goodness of your grace, Lord let me be a witness, I give to you my hands in praise. Cho. Lord I want to be a witness, let me tell about your love. I want to tell how you filled my heart, with your blessings from above. Let me tell about salvation, and how you pardoned my sin Lord I want to be a witness, until you come to earth again. Lord I want to be a witness, let me tell about your love. I want to tell how you filled my heart, with your blessings from above. Let me tell about salvation, and how you pardoned my sin Lord I want to be a witness, until you come to earth again. _CMPFBF2.STY Campfire, finge ev16 4/4 3502 Bass, Electric, Nashville Radio Ballad A ev16 075 Real Drums: Nashville southern 1856:Cello, BackgroundPopCountry ev 085 1592:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm, Pop Believe ev 016 065 Tascam DP32sd Multitrack Recorder Cakewalk Sonar Home Studio

I could hear the band kicking in on the second verse. But that's minor issue of differing production values. I enjoyed the song.... nice modulation and loved the ending surprise chords. I'm always careful what I ask for..... He might give you what you ask but not in the way that you're thinking. You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Herb has it right in that Kris Kristofferson would have done this well . . . could also hear Johnny Cash doing this as well. Your vocal, though, does it just fine . . . heartfelt and compelling. Nice production and mix overall. Well done! All my best to you, Deej

I was very sick here a while back and your lyrics really spoke to me, just a wonderful write. The arrangements were great, though I wish the cello had a little more volume. The ending you came up with was great. https://soundcloud.com/user-722422510/tracks

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."
