Hello friends,
I have just uploaded my newest song, "Sally and Bobby" on my website. All the backing instruments are Real Tracks, me and my guitar. Comments are welcome.

I have taken it down for a remix. Changes made: Pulled out some mids in the vocal, used a shorter reverb, and smoothed out the vocals and harmony. Comments are welcomed!

Hi Marty. This sounds great. I couldn't tell you how it compares with the first one, but this one sure sounds good man! I have some observations and thoughts beyond the sound of it- let me know if you care to know what they are. This is a fine song and sounds great. Nice job!

Btw- I know I've mentioned this before but I LOVE your listening page! I gotta admit, it's some of the fun listening to your music! Love those speakers! But seriously, I love a clean page. That would be my absolute page layout, provided I thought of it beofre you did...which I did not! LOL! It gets really tedious just navigating to listen to peoples music sometimes. That is a refreshing page. For that, I thank you sir.

Thanks for the review! I too love simple pages. Why make people have to search for songs just to listen to your personal music. I quickly grow tired of trying to figure how to get to a file on a web site.

Dan, My first mix was too processed so I fixed that. It seems after I converted the file to MP3 the reverb just jumped out at me. Go figure? My ears must have been tired when I mastered. I also changed a few words to improve the flow.

I love your material also, so keep up the good work!
Marty

Dude - you have such a beautiful vocal tone with spot-on pitch - I am sooo envious. But I have told you that before.

Hello Dan,
You are way to kind! Thank you so much. I am working on a blues tune and hope to have it on line next week. I have just switched to Sonar 8.5 and the learning curve is beating me up! LOL. Too bad all the software people don't use the same language when describing features.

I love the song, but the only critique i could give is that to me the vocal, (which was awesome) was a bit to far out front in the mix real it back in a tad.

Hi Robh,
I agree about the vocals being too up front. I have now started using a reverb bus on all tracks and it seems all tracks set better in the mix. (still learning) Thanks for listening and thanks for the advice.

Another winner

You are one talented musician. Great guitar chops man! Personally I like this blend. I do not think the vocal is too far out front. Loved the harmonies.

Another two thumbs up.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

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."
