WHATEVER YOU WANT - Take down the Moonhttps://www.reverbnation.com/kaynemusic/song/34106869-whatever-you-wantThis is my salute to Motown. I tried (the best I could) to get a Temptations, or Spinners sound. This is my first song using CUBASE 12. Most of backing tracks are BIAB, I then imported into CUBASE and added Strings, Horns, Vocals, etc. Some of the backing vocals are Synth V, with me in there also to fill out the backing sounds. ****** Song Summary ************* Title: Whatever You Want File:Whatever You Want95.SGU Key=Db , Tempo 95, Length (m:s)=3:57 No intro. 90 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 90.

Whatever you want Whatever I can do
I would take down the moon the stars if I could
Whatever you want Whatever I can do
Give you the world because of you girl
You give to me life You give your heart to me
You gave me hope
(1.A reason to believe)
(2.You’re everything I need)
You bring me joy you bring it all to me
You give me love, life and all that I have
Woo Wooo Woo Woo Woo Woo
All that I have is because of you
Woo woo woo woo woo woo
You give me hope and Life (and Love)
I would give you my heart, give you my soul
give all my love give you my life
Take down the moon, give you the stars
Whatever you want

Yep, I prefer your vocals, Elliott. Love the Jamerson Motown sound (always gotta nod to the bassist). Man, those BGVs sound perfect. The line "You give me life..." really comes alive with the rise in the music. Very well done. The cover photos is also perfect. Love the way this song builds. Such a good good song, and everything you added to it fits so well.

The backing tracks, your lead vocal and the write definitely grabbed that Motown vibe. Something we've listened to for years. Nice BiaB session folks and those drums sound excellent. We enjoyed it! J&B PS: BGV's ... we feel like you could easily do them. Put a little formant change, etc., on each part and go all Elliot!l And a big ole FWIW and boatloads of salt

Elliott, you nailed the Motown vibe.
Great vocal and a very Motown like rhythm section and backup vocal.
This is fantastic!

You've got the Motown sound down pat, including the vocal. BGVs raise the level on this, especially at in the last part. All is balanced well in the mix.

You had me singing the Status Quo song in my head before I hit play.
Your voice is a bit strident in the "You give me..." section - that or it's clipping.
You've a cool groove going.
Cheers

Motown was one of the three main genres surrounding me growing up in suburban Detroit in the late 60's and 70's so it's awesome to hear a 'revival' of that vibe. Well done, Elliot! Love the sax break and the backing vocals to your lead vox. Great mix!
Na zdrowie!
Dewey

Hi Elliott. Not my genre but it's a great sound and a pro job. Those backing tracks and the main vocal are superb. Straight to the point lyrics. My favourite line: "Woo Wooo Woo Woo Woo Woo".  Vic

Pleasant listen! Nice write, and it's got that classic vibe. Sweet lyric. The tambourine comes in at the right time, and the harmonies are cool, too.

I'm a big fan of that early Motown sound, and you nailed the vibe with this one I think, Elliot.
Great track, great vocal too, well done.

Radio Groove used to be my favorite radio station here while running and this song would be a perfect choice for their play list. Very smooth and pleasant band for the positive vibes of the message. I really like that groove guitar, the sax works perfectly and strings and horns add nice layers to the BIAB orchestra. Great vocals and the backing vocals sound really sweet.

Elliot,
Nice Poppy, Funky rhythm. Good tracks. Bass is a bit heavy. The rest of the mix is good.
Good vocals.
Sax solo works well.
Enjoyed.

Motown and 60's soul is cool stuff. This is well done.
Everything is in it's proper place. What's not to like about that?

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."
