Daniel, you are master at Christian music!

As usual everything is perfect!

Loved the vocals - outstanding harmonies, lyrics, and mix.

Loved it.


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.

Not exactly my genre, but this is a nice song, and you really have a great voice.
Arrangement and mix are pretty good too, nothing to complain about here smile

Some really lovely vocals and harmonies. A real standout.

Nice song, (bit of an Elvis vibe) well produced.

Mellow harmonies? Check!
Relaxing arrangement? That too!
Lots of modulations? As promised!
Uplifting message? In spades!

Just as advertised. Really liked this! laugh

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

Yeah, I'd like to say everything that David did, but he says it so much better. Each modulation rises us higher and raises the praise. Your vocals are always the star of the show, and you write such good melodies for it.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Dan
Once again such a beautiful song
The intro is excellent
Your vocals and also the background vocals are really great
Is that actually an acoustic guitar from BiaB or did you play it yourself ? Sounds great
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Dan, once again you have delivered a professional product! Really love the vocals. They are done so well as are the background vocals! I also love that Cajun drum track. I've been eying that one for a while a will probably use it in the future. It's another great song!

Thanks, Torrey

I love that two-note hook right out of the gate: Hold on. I thought the modulations were very natural sounding, good work. Gorgeous vocals as always. Great job!

Boy the acoustic makes a nice bed for this vocal and lyric. Such a nice listen. Excellent production. Mix was perfect...

Daniel,

You sure know how to take advantage of BIAB...Great production and - as usual - the lyrics and vocals are amazing! Love the chord shifting. I'm not very theory savvy - was this a modulation?

Hey Dewey...thanks for your comments...modulation is basically a variance of somthing...in this song I modulated the key after the bridges...up a half step..to me it keeps opening up the song to a higher level...works great for songs with not a lot of dynamic range or to elevate the lyrical content...hope that explains it...I'm not theory savvy either...I just like how it sounds!...Dan

Thank you for the explanation and technique tip, Daniel! This will definitely come in handy on some of my upcoming songs.

Daniel,

Really good harmonies.
A conductor I know once told me:
"A really good song needs a modulation."
So, need I say more?

Lovely Dan.

Beautiful warm vocals, sweet lyric and the mellow backing tracks all work together so well.

Smoooooth mods.

Those harmonies would make the Gaither Vocal Band proud!
Have we mentioned them before? smile smile smile

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."

Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
