Hi Everyone,
I normally post my own songs here but I like doing cover songs also and treat it as an exercise in arranging. Here is a Radiohead's song "Creep".

Comments appreciated

Hi James,

I liked it! I agree with Michee. This song was a good fit for you. I've got to say, I really like the prosody of this song. Your arrangement has captured this well. One small observance was that I noticed that at around 1:39, the backing suddenly softened in anticipation of the vocal. I found myself wondering if it was possible to move this volume reduction a second later so that it came across more as a blending between vocal and backing. Other than that, though. I enjoyed it

All the best,
Noel

Hi Noel,
Thank you for your kind comments - they are much appreciated.

It would be difficult to move the reduction in volume as this was all done on the CVP509. I use lots of registrations where I set up volumes and instruments etc. and then record changing registrations. The only way would be to record again and change registration a tad later but quite difficult. I could of course record each track separately. I did do this with the vocal. I cannot just change the midi since it is not just volumes but instruments that change at that point. Thanks for the observation and the trouble you have taken giving me the timing.

Thanks again Noel
Jim

Nice job I agree with all who have commented above. I will add that I hear a sort of Lenord Cohen quality to your voice.

Later,

Hi Danny,
Thanks for listening - your comments much appreciated. Leonard Cohen is one of my favourite song writers.

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."
