All Night TearsGood to be back after a very long illness. I put this together back in November - a couple days work (maybe 7 or 8 hours total), It's a strong and powerful guitar blues, somewhat in the style of Gary Moore. The snare hit is poretty strong in the mix. I backed it off a bit, but when I did, I lost some of the "attitude" of the song, So I put it back. I like it better being a little strong. Any comments and/or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance - hope you might like it a little. Hope 2023 treats all of you with best of everything.

Glad to hear you're back in the game.
Cheers

Glad to hear you're back in the game. HI Ray. I've been a Gary Moore fan since the first time I heard "Still Got The Blues". Tghe man could pack a lot of emotion in tyo 3 or 4 m inutes. Always liked his tyone, too. I massaged the lead guitar on this with the five-band equalizer several times before gettiung the sound I wanted. Glad you liked itg - much appreciated. Thanks for letgting me know. Best to ya, mate! Alan

Alan...I definitely love the style of this....it has some muscle to it and yet a real sultry feel...bluesy-rock ballad for sure...would be a cool soundtrack to the right video material...very cool arrangement of the solo guitar...and I love the slow, slow fade out of the music at the end (too many folks cut the tails off too early)...glad your back and hope you feel well...crank'em up and let's hear some more!

A great use of BiaB and I too like Gary Moore's style a lot, I could almost hear his vocals in your song.
Great job.

Oh, yeah, Alan, this song has a TON of attitude. Man, I love this style of guitar, and you gave it a wonderful bed to lay down that magic. All Night Tears is a terrific name for this.

Hi Alan,
Didn't know you had serious health problems. I hope you are ok now?
Your song definitly is! What a great sounding song you made. Very catchy, especially the solo.
You are getting close to Gary now (let's forget for a moment you weren't playing the guitar...)
Enjoyed it all and glad you are back. I missed you and your comments!
And best wishes to Di,
Hans

Great job. Hi Bass Thumper ... Many thanks! I wish I had even half of hus vocal chops - just enough rasp with solid undertones. And his voice didn't thin in the higher registers. I appreciate the really nice comments. Take care ... Alan

Thank ya! I like this style of Blues, also. The lead melody isn't overly busy, but carries just the right punch to get it from measure to the next with a full sound. Thart was my goal with this one. I think I might have comer close to succeding. Glad you enjoyed the song and the attitude. Best to you ... Alan

I think if the drums are produced correctly, they can set more up front and give many songs a nice edge without being overbearing. As far as achieving the Gary Moore sound, the hardest part was getting the delay right. His delays were short but very conspicuous. They didn't trail very long - one measure didn't appreciably intrude on the next. Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for letting me know. Best to you ... Alan

Hi Alan,
Good song and mix.
No - the lead guitar is the perfect volume in this mix.
Gary Moore would have been +2Db
I was waiting for the powerhouse vocals.

Nigel Hi Nigel ... Thank you very much! Uh ... you wouldn't hang around long if I attempted a powerhouse vocal. You would would think a cement mixer was stripping it's gears! But if I had even a smidgeon of your vocal abilities, I'd never quit singing. Glad you enjoyed it! Alan PS: You staying dry? There's been a lot rain in your part of the world!

Hi Alan,
Sorry to hear you were ill, but happy that you are well and posting music again!
I'm a huge Gary Moore fan, and you captured his feel and tone with this one, nice job!
Drums are perfect BTW, snare is doing exactly what it should IMHO.

Hello Al
You wrote a really good song.
The guitar solo by BiaB is excellent.
Especially because it plays so long.
Is sometimes a problem with Biab
But in your song it sounds great !!!
REALLY great work Al
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Alan,
I'm glad that you are feeling better and are back to recording.
Great blues rock.
Your RealTracks selection is always great.
I can definitely see you wondering whether or not to tighten the snare.
But I think you were right to make it tight.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

What a great moody blues you’ve given us with your return!
You captured the Gary Moore vibe so well and we love him and were just watching some old YouTube videos of him a few nights ago.
Welcome back!

It's good to have you back!
The drums sit right for me. You made the right choice in returning them to what you had.
This has a strong cinematic feel, and soars and glides along nicely.

Alan,
Glad you are on your feet!
This is a VERY good tune. So much power. The guitar work is perfect. Loved it!
Mix is great, but I do hear some kind of phasing effect on the drums. Might be just me hallucinating.
Mood is just right. Amazing effort! Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Hi Alan,
Didn't know you had serious health problems. I hope you are ok now?
Your song definitly is! What a great sounding song you made. Very catchy, especially the solo.
You are getting close to Gary now (let's forget for a moment you weren't playing the guitar...)
Enjoyed it all and glad you are back. I missed you and your comments!
And best wishes to Di,
Hans Hello Hans! So nice to hear from you. Di and I are both doing better. Thank you for the very nice comments. I've been a Gary Moore fan for a long time. We lost a good msuician when he died in that hotel room Spain. Again, many thanks! Take care ... Alan

Alan, I love loud drums and this is just right. You nailed the GM tone , the eq and the delay + reverb fit perfectly. Great mix. I surely did enjoy it! Feel better, Tom Hi Tom ... For me, drums and bass can make or break a song. Bass has drive and drums have attitude. The tone was most the way PG Music recorded it - did did only a slight amount of tone adjustment. But i did work with the delay for quite some time. I adjusted it pretty wet but short in duration. Thanks so much! Best to you! Alan

Great to hear you back Al.
You have a feel for the blues.
Vic Hi Vic ... Thanks for the kind thoughts. I kinda like the Blues because they, more than any other vehicle, can define the struggles of the human soul. Glad you liked it - and tghanks for letting me know. Best to you ... Alan

Hi Alan,
Sorry to hear you were ill, but happy that you are well and posting music again!
I'm a huge Gary Moore fan, and you captured his feel and tone with this one, nice job!
Drums are perfect BTW, snare is doing exactly what it should IMHO. Hi Dave ... Di and I are both doing much better - thanks! Sure do appreciate your kindness. It's hard to beat a Gary Moore Blues. Glad this one resonates well in that effort. Appreciate it! Take care and try to stay warm! Alanm

Hello Al
You wrote a really good song.
The guitar solo by BiaB is excellent.
Especially because it plays so long.
Is sometimes a problem with Biab
But in your song it sounds great !!!
REALLY great work Al
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Hallo Andi ... Ich danke dir! I appreciate those very nice words! I am delighted you enjoyed the song! Wishing you the best ... Alan

Alan,
I'm glad that you are feeling better and are back to recording.
Great blues rock.
Your RealTracks selection is always great.
I can definitely see you wondering whether or not to tighten the snare.
But I think you were right to make it tight.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Hi Shigeki ... Di and I both are feeling much better. Thank you very much for that. And thank you for your very nice comments on the song. And yes, I think the snare is better as I kept it. Wishing you everything good ... Alan

Hey Alan, Sounds great man. Good use of those tracks!! Hi David ... Thank you so much! The tracks pretty much just fell into place. All I had to do was compose an appropriate chord pattern and do some tweaking on the sound. Thanks a bunch. Take care ... Alan

What a great moody blues you’ve given us with your return!
You captured the Gary Moore vibe so well and we love him and were just watching some old YouTube videos of him a few nights ago.
Welcome back!
J&B Hey You Two ... Good to be back. I composed this about three months ago and it kinda got lost in the shuffle. And yeah, i watch his videos on YouTube, too. I particularly like "Still Got The Blues". I'm delighted you enjoyed this effort - thasnks for telling me! Wishing both of you the best ... Alan

It's good to have you back!
The drums sit right for me. You made the right choice in returning them to what you had.
This has a strong cinematic feel, and soars and glides along nicely. HI Scott ... Those are some very nice comments. Thank you so much! And it's good to be back - thanks again! Wishing you the best ... Alan

Alan,
Glad you are on your feet!
This is a VERY good tune. So much power. The guitar work is perfect. Loved it!
Mix is great, but I do hear some kind of phasing effect on the drums. Might be just me hallucinating.
Mood is just right. Amazing effort! Thank you for sharing.
Misha. Hi Misha ... Hope you enjoyed your trip back to the homeland - it's very pretty country! Thank you so much for being so kind to my song! The only adjustment I made to the drums was a little extra mid-mid and low-mid on the 5-band equalizer (the indigenous BIAB VSTs). Glad yoyu liked it! Best to you ... Alan

Dark, brooding, wonderful. Man, that guitar just speaks. And the snare is, of course, fine as it is. Loved it.

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."
