B.D.,
Congratulations on the release of your album.
I listened to "Fight For Your Rights" again, and it's a very pop song.
Actually, all of your songs have pop melodies.
I hope you can gain many followers.
By the way, I'm writing songs for Whiskey.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

BDT, I am a fan of all your productions. Good luck with the project. It’s tough to make any money these days unless you play live but don’t let that stop you from being creative. Ignore the naysayers who bring the negativity and keep to your own road. You are touching lives and making a difference. Your post had me laughing out loud. So thanks for that we all need that, Tom Thank you, Tom, for your kind and encouraging words. Touching lives is the greatest thing you can achieve with music or art in general. That's what I want to achieve one day.

Listening through as I type...

You now have one more follower! The album sounds good. The production on all the songs sound cohesive in dynamics. Spotify is always going to use their algorithms to raise and lower the gain to their liking. But as alluded to maintaining the dynamics is a sign of excellent mixing. Income? 10,000 streaming plays has earned us a whopping $38. Well done! J&B

Hey B.D., Congratulations on the album. Our music is different, but I sure love your productions. I've listened to almost everyone of the songs on your album so far, and you've got a great sound. I wish you the best on it.
Brad Thank you, Brad, for your encouraging words. Yep, our music is different, but it still connects us. That's what it's all about.

Hi Brian,
Good show on the album! I have a Spotify account and added you to the list of artists I follow. I haven't listened to your album yet, but I saved it and will listen later.
If your friend is earning enough to buy a beer a day he is doing pretty good! I've found we do *way* better on YouTube than we do on Spotify as far as listens go, no idea why.
Best of luck!

Thanks Dan! Yes, we're all incredibly small fish in an incredibly big pond. Nevertheless, creating music (or art in general) is one of the most satisfying things for me.

You now have one more follower! Thank you so much Janice/Bud, I really appreciate it. I am now also a follower of Janice. However, I have not found Bud there. The album sounds good.
The production on all the songs sound cohesive in dynamics.
Spotify is always going to use their algorithms to raise and lower the gain to their liking.
But as alluded to maintaining the dynamics is a sign of excellent mixing. Double thanks for the feedback on the album as a whole. The album (and the individual songs) are not mastered, but of course I always try to have a similar sound (...if the songs are in a similar genre, of course), so it's good to hear that I didn't mess it up. Income? 10,000 streaming plays has earned us a whopping $38. One beer a month is better than no beer a month

Best of luck! Thanks, Dave. I think on Spotify, if(!) you end up in a good playlist, you'll get a few listens, but without that, there's literally nothing. On YouTube, your newly uploaded video will be suggested to other users for a while, and even if you're an unknown, you'll get some exposure to potential fans. And a good video supporting the song doesn't hurt either.

Hi Brain,
You must know by now that I love the songs you make. I mostly respond on YouTube to you.
As I know, I've also subscribed to your site and listened to a lot of your songs. They are great, in every aspect..
And I also a wine lover (and sometimes a small rum). But snobery?
But now that I think about it... you haven't subscribed to my Birchwood page.
And did you do that to Marty? He has only a few after all these years.
How can we become famous when things go this slow...
But I'm happy you have a great album. And please, continue making those intriquing songs...
Hans

Hans Thank you Hans for your kind comment and feedback. I've been subscribed to your YouTube page for about a year (along with Marty, Blue Attitude, Bud, and anyone else I could find), but I keep my subscriptions private so you can't see who's subscribed. But, when I think about it, I could also subscribe with my newly formed band and THAT would be visible to you. And then you get twice as much money from YouTube

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."
