Lively tune, wonderfully sung, and a great production. Can't ask for much more than that. Really enjoyed it!

You made the right decision in keeping that banjo, it adds a lot. I really hope Di gets better, I want to hear some more. Whether she gets her voice back or not though, you guys make a great team, so even if life changes the game, keep playing it together! You guys are great.


Hi Brad ...

Maany thanks for all the very nice words. We both appreciate them very much. I doubt Di will improve enough to sing as she once did. Her health is very poor and probablt won't get much better. She no longer has the lung capacity or general strength. It's a shame - make me very sad. We have quite a few songs of her singing, but we can't post them here as many of them were recorded over a different music generation program. And BIAB doesn'y have comparable tracks in most instances. We;'ve posted 4 or 5 that were created in BIAB. From time to time I'll repost one. Smooth Jazz, Big Band, and Variopusl Latin sub-genres are her best.

Glad yopu like the banjo. Folks love it or hate it. But the weight falls on the side of love it!

Many thanks! Best to you ...

Alan

She sure did have a fantastic voice.

Super mix.

Tell Di that she is in our prayers.



Hi Mario ...

Ha ... she does some Blugraa music, too. She actually worked very nicely with banjos and fiddles. She was a multi-genre vocalist. Thanks for all ther nice commentds. And I'll pass your thoughts on to her. Thanks, again!

Alan

PS...The software Audacity (a free download) https://www.audacityteam.org/download/ will allow you to slow down/speed up, change pitch, etc...it's a great tool...you could slow by 5 bpm without a hitch...play with it...it's fun and a great tool...I use it all the time to make speed variations in songs or stretch notes, etc...I love it!



Hi Dan ...

Always a pleasure when you drop in for a listen. As fara s the sound, b ack in the early and mid 90s there were two groups I really liked: 1) The Newgrass Revival and 2) Nickel Creek. I was never as big fasn of the traditional Blugrass sound - Bill Monroe and the like. But those two groups remolded Bluegrass and I love what the did. I'm also a fan of Alison Kraus and Union Station .

I've been using Audacity since about 2010 or 2011. I can slow the music down, but I don't have the original stems - just the final stereo mix-down. Even if Isis have the stems, Di's health wouldn't allow her to resing it. But thanks for the thought.

FWIW, Everything I've posted in this forum has beem recorded on Audacity.

Again, many thanks and we appreciate the prayers. We are Christains but don't make a big deal of it publicly.

Alan

Hi Tom ...

We're delighted you enjoyed it. Yes, her voice was unbelievably smooth and fluid. Makes me sad her voice is deteriorating. I'll pass on your kind thoughts to her. And thanks again .

Hi Andi ...

Thank you for those very nice comments. The backing tracks actually came to us quickly. Arranging them was the real work! Thank you very much!

Wir schätzen Deine freundlichen Gedanken über Di. Es ist unwahrscheinlich, dass sie jemals wieder dieses Gute singen kann. Sie hat weder die Lungenkapazität noch die allgemeine Stärke, dies zu tun. Aber danke, dass du sie in deinen Gedanken gehalten hast.

Bis zum nächsten Mal,

Alan

Firstly, thanks for reposting this. We've been around the forum since 2012 ... it flies by.

Di and a banjo ... it fits the earlier Taylor vibe perfectly.

Nice write, production.

And the vocals? Yeah man and lady smile -- it was great hearing Di!
They are excellent!

Most enjoyable,

J&B

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?

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."
