That bass growl and heft is wonderful.

As someone not particularly receptive to the message I was captured by the musical elements, the package including lyrics, and didn't want the song to end.


Thanks Ray! Yes I like most of the DOD sets! There are a couple that have been pretty much useless to me though unfortunately! I personally feel that the BIAB drums have the better sound but sometimes can't get them to do what I want, like accomplishing needed realistic sounding pushes! a lot of the time the result is choppy and doesn't flow well! Still glad I have them though! TB

Really nice. Riff rock with a good message.

Appropriately heavy. Nice harmony work in there too.

Strawberry Fields influenced start. Way cool.

Something in that riff part is ever so slightly not in sync to my ear. It might just be me.... but something in there bugs me. It's like milliseconds. That's the only time I hear it is in the riff. It might simply be the way the drums interact in the mix at the end of the riff.

Still.... very good work on this.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Great intro, and it only gets better from there.
It's a shame that this kind of prog rock isn't written much anymore.
A bit short for that genre, but other than that it's perfect.
I wouldn't change a thing!

We enjoyed the opening with the tip of the hat to the Beatles and continued to enjoy this fine production.

Your vocals sound great to us and the harmony arrangement is very effective.

You’re a great one man band, Torrey, and this song is a shining example.

Another powerful collab from you and Ron!

You and Ron deliver such polish and always enjoyable. Nice bass and the guitar is always so pro, and great taste for the song.


Thanks Marty! I used a doubler plugin on the lead vocal track that I have never used before, and it gave my voice a little bit different sound! I'm still on the bubble about whether I like it or not!

Great sounding hard rock arrangement. Enjoyed those heavy guitar riffs together with the vocal harmonies.
Inviting intro and very interesting chord to end the song, I like it.
Pleasant surprise, very creative work.

Thanks, Janne, for the nice comments! TB

Killer drum sound. Punchy Bass!
Excellent vocals. (the harmonies on the chorus give it a real Rundgren sound/feel)
COOL guitar licks (another attention-to-detail thing...)
GORGEOUS solo.

A strong write.

MUSIC.

Stellar.

Thanks Floyd! I always appreciate your comments because I know you really listen closely and give great input! TB

A very creative piece of work. The guitars and bass worked particularly well together.
Great job.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

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."
