It's All Gone This was originally written as an assignment for a Coursera arrangement class. Later it became a track on my album, which examined the Trump presidency from afar. Style is _HAPNO85.STY Here are the tracks that were generated by Band-in-a-Box: RealTracks in style: ~~2504:Piano, Acoustic, HeldChords 060 RealTracks in style: ~~368:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 065 RealTracks in style: 838:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopBalladClean Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 1514:Guitar, Electric, Soloist CountryBrent Ev 065 (Bluesy) RealDrums in Style: NashvilleEven8^5-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride To those I added vocals, my own bass part using Ample bass, and an accordion track from Kontakt. It seems I also added a pad from Kontakt, but I can’t hear it on the finished track. I put the track together in Logic Pro. There weren’t a lot of effects. I used Logic’s Chromaverb on the guitar solo. I used Space D reverb on the drums. I used Silververb on the vocals and liberally applied Melodyne so it sounds like I was singing in tune. I mastered the track using Ozone 8. One interesting note — the guitar solo was created by rendering out six guitar solos from Band-in-a-Box, and then comping the final solo out of those six tracks in Logic. Lyrics Coal jobs are gone Dried up and blew away Life blood of this town Turned the hillsides brown There’s not a lot that’s left today Walmart is gone Shut the doors for good last May Like a scene from hell It’s a hollow shell Just like the dreams we can’t remember anyway You'd think this is something we deserve Two hundred years we've worked this land It's a way of life straight from our granddad's hand And who’s the one that took it all away Coal jobs are gone Some say that hope awaits In the hands of a man In a bright red hat Who has the secret that will make it all OK

Welcome to the showcase, Alan. I like your song and your vocals. ...the guitar solo was created by rendering out six guitar solos from Band-in-a-Box, and then comping the final solo out of those six tracks... That's how I do it all the time. It's faster than waiting for THAT one perfect solo...

Welcome, the different reverbs are apparent i the mix...particularly the vocal...sounds like it's in a different room and has quite a tail with it. There's a click at 2.23. 2016 all over again. Nice mix.

Nice vocal work. Would be nice to have the lyrics.

Thanks everyone for the kind feedback. Since this is my first upload to the forum, I was a bit nervous. I'm not sure which concerned me more; harsh criticism or being completely ignored. But the response has been very heartening.
I've added the lyrics as requested.

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."
