This is the way to live! Take in the small joys Until the great happiness comes. And if it does not come then at least you had had the "little joys".
- THEODOR FONTANE - Listen to TRY TO GET A LITTLE PIECE OF LIFE TRY TO GET A LITTLE PIECE OF LIFE (THE VIDEO)
Dear Forum Members The last song for this year was created against the background that very many people in this day and age have to lead a life that demands a lot from them but does not give much back. The consequence is for these people a life without or only with little joy! Especially at Christmas time we would like to give these people a little courage and hope, so that they also try to get a little piece of life. This song was created in a great collaboration. It was really MUCH fun to bring it to life with these great musicians: MARTY, who did the absolutely fantastic lead vocals and (of course) also plays the brilliant bass. He also created the wonderfully inspirational video. SHIGEKI, who composed the incredibly beautiful string accompaniment and also recorded the great choir. WOLFGANG, who played two extraordinary flute solos with his Roland guitar synthesizer. and DeeJ, who did the awesome background vocals and sounds extremely good with Marty on this song. When I composed the song on my guitar, I had no idea what these great musicians would do with it. For this and for the fantastic cooperation I would like to thank ALL involved very much. I hope you have as much fun listening to the song as we had recording it. We wish all Forum members and PG Music staff, their families and loved ones a peaceful Christmas and a healthy New Year 2023.
Many greetings Andi ;-) Try to get a little piece of life Music and lyrics by A. Melzer 18102022 intro solo Life doesn't always treat us fairly, and there's not always an easy way through, but giving up will always get you nowhere. Please try to get a little piece of life. Not everyone gets the best of life, but make the best of living anyway, and keep a lookout for what brings you joy. Please try to get a little piece of life. No money will ever replace such things as love, satisfaction and joy, but your life offers you all this for free. Please try to get a little piece of life. When you no longer know what to do your friends and family will be there for you. They'll make you feel so much better again, and give you so much more. main solo And even if your life is not easy, you can tell there's beauty in love, and just know that Life has lots in store for you. Please try to get a little piece of life. No money will ever replace such things as love, satisfaction and joy, but your life offers you all this for free. Please try to get a little piece of life. Just try to get a little piece of life. Oh, try to get a little peace of life. ****** Song Summary ************* Title: Try To Get A Little Piece Of Life File:Try To Get A Little Piece Of Life.SGU Key=C , Tempo 75, Length (m:s)=4:28 No intro. 80 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 80.

Andi and all...Wow! what a great collaboration...beautiful song and sentiment combined...Andi you wrote a great message for all of us to take to heart...the musicians you chose to work with did such a fantastic job...you can never go wrong with Marty and Deej (two of my favorites)...Shigeki and Wolfgang did stellar jobs on the instrumentals...super composition, production and performance...(I love Marty's videos they always capture the essence of the songs!)

Love the song, as you know, Andi, and what a terrific production. Your brother Wolfgang did such a good job on the solos, and Deej amazed me with his harmony. What really got me was Shigeki's strings and choir. WOW! What a difference to the song. You also did a great job forming your BiaB band.

Wow, what a nice song and message!
Andi and your gang, you've made a wonderful song together. Marty, your singing was great as are the contributions from Deej, Shigeki, Wolfgang and yourself!
And I was also impressed by the good mixing/mastering of the song.
Very well done! (that's what the 'Wow' stands for)

Great song, great arrangement, great performances by all involved and last but not least a great mix that brings it all together. Well done!
Even if it's a bit (ahem) early, also a peaceful Christmas and the best for 2023.

This is collaboration at its best; the song expresses optimism (that transcends the season,though its right in line with the better Christmas Spirit writes),the strings are gorgeous,flute lovely and Marty`s vocal the kicker... so much good strong feeling communicated. Outstanding work by all involved!

WOW, very pleasant collaboration! Important message worth remembering when times are tough.
Marty's sings better than ever, very emotional and DeeJ supports well Shigeki has created excellent string arrangement. Wolfgang's flute brings joy to the already positive feeling.
I like how the arrangement evolves organically. The video is beautifully in harmony with the lyrics, full of smiles and positivity.

WOW what a fantastic collaboration
Everything is top shelf, the vocals, instruments, mix, etc
Fantastic lyrics
"No money will ever replace such things as love, satisfaction and joy, but your life offers you all this for free." What a great line and so true
Congrats to all involved - you all did a fantastic job on this one

Everything here is top shelf . . . especially the bass playing. Great job to all.

I like it. Mix sounds good.

Very cool collaboration Andi. Marty was an excellent choice to sing this lyric. One of his best vocals. Very cool message. Strings were awesome. The piano work was perfect for the song. Deejs harmonies were awesome as well. What a cool mix and production. Really well done.

Great collab and a wonderful sentiment, y’all!
The lyric, performances, video, arrangement and mix highlight the best of all of your talents.
You are right, Andi, in that especially over these last few years many folks have come to truly appreciate the little daily joys in life.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hi Marty Yes we have really great people here in the forum with whom you can implement such projects perfectly. But if someone would have told me before that you will sing the song I would not have believed it. Such a cool performance you delivered my friend !!!! Absolutely exceptional Andi ;-)

Hi Andi. Really nice song and I loved the flute. I thought that the drums could have been left out for the beginning or reduced to a hi hat so it doesn't sound too abrupt when they stop. Just my opinion.

Hello Vic Thanks for your great feedback and suggestion for improvement Yes, you could have reduced the drums. But since I will probably never use this drum RT again, I wanted to use it as much as possible ;-))) Thanks a lot Vic I appreciate it very much Many greetings Andi ;-)

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."
Convenient Ways to Listen to Band-in-a-Box® Songs Created by Program Users!
The User Showcase Forum is an excellent place to share your Band-in-a-Box® songs and listen to songs other program users are creating!
