Hi Josie,
I hope you don't mind but I was scrolling through the Users' Forum and saw that 799 people had listened to "Oh Me Oh My". I tried, but I couldn't stop myself. I felt an overwhelming desire to be the 800th person. This is such a great song. I've listened to it about 20 times now and I'm loving it.
You're a very skillful songwriter.
All the best,
Noel

Josie,
Great song, as has already been noted. I thought the mix was pretty good except of course for the vocal being a tad low. I struggle with mixing myself, tunnel vision on whatever track I'm concerned about at the time seems to be the major issue. And of course with the limited resources that most of us have, it's not the easiest thing to mix and try to master a complete song that you've written, sang, arranged, played, gotten sick of, thrown away, brought back for a rewrite etc.
As was mentioned, cliche's are hard to get around especially when you are a novice like me, and you are often just trying to get the thing done, like me. I know that some songs were written over a period of years, by two or more writers, then we expect to do all the above in a week or less, while the inspiration is still there.
dcuny, mentioned several lyrical things, and I have to agree with most of them, give the song a rest and revisit some possible changes to the lyrics that will enhance the song and not detract from it. Every listener is different, and songwriters listen differently than the average Walmart shopper. Which is why there is so much on the air that should not be there. The execs know that most people don't care as long as it sounds good, with a different personality singing it.
I like the song a lot, the chord structure, the ballad style, the vocal treatments etc.
Rob

Hi Toucher Rob, Thank you for listening. Having read the thread you already know we disagree  so I'll just say this: Attention Walmart Shoppers........  This Song is finished.

here is my tuppence worth.There should it seems be two users showcase of songs because it appears that criticism doesnt appear to be accepted unless its in praise of that persons work.The other way to do it is what Hawgley has instructed and thats when he puts his composition up its not for critique but to show how biab is being used I like both ideas.Frankie
ps.Just from my experience:If there are writers here who are serious about putting their work to publishers etc then be prepared for in depth criticism thats even if they bother to listen to it some post the work back unopened I know Ive gone through that process even though Ive had covers of a few of my songs.If on the other hand there are writers who write for the fun of it then enjoy the creative process because for me anyway there is nothing better for the soul.

John,I understand your reasons for this little rant but this forum is made up of all sorts of people some with religious faith others(like you it appears)with none.When those of us with that faith put it down in a song its part of our creativeness and should not be limited because you might feel you are being preached at "dont listen to the songs".Cheers Frankie

tributeman,
Your points have already been addressed earlier in this thread. If you wish to continue that discussion please start a new thread on that topic.
As a matter of fact, I'm frankly tired of this so I'm going to start one myself.
Anyone who wants to discuss critiguing please see the new thread. I'll call it critiguing ettiquette.
All others, thanks for listening.

Hi Josie,
I went back and listened again and again. I love it.
Each time I wait for the "Oh me, Oh my" part and it always surprises me.
Your 3 part harmony over the lyric lines are so cool.
Listening to this makes me smile.
Wayne,

So this is the thread that has made it so everybody can only say great things about songs. I was wondering why most people didn't leave feedback for songs even when it was asked for.
This thread made everybody hypersenseitive and afraid to say how the really feel. It chased off most all those who were willing to help. Just look at the threads before and after this one. The ones after this are mostly (not all) puffy ego booters!
If you don't want to hear the truth abouts how others really feel about your songs, don't post them in the public square.
Saying here is my song only stroke my ego please is a bit childish and not going to happen.
I like the idea of two forums one "Showcase" no commenting allowed. One "workshop" for constructive critique.
BTW: I had some things to say about the song I really liked and some things thay may have helped, but will not post them for fear I would upset the OP.

PRearden,
To my mind, I don't think that it's possible to be more totally wrong about the purpose of the User Showcase Forum or about this thread.
I have a great deal of respect for Josie and I could not let your unjust comments pass without saying something.
Over my couple of years here, all of PG Music's forums have consisted of a very obliging and friendly community of BIAB/RB/PTP users who have given their time and expertise freely to help those struggling with absolutely any aspect of the software or music in general. Even though you haven't been around here too long, I feel certain that you've read enough of the different forums to "get" what I'm saying. Your post is different from most. When I read it, it sounded antagonistic. Maybe one day you'll need some assistance with the programs or some music and, as as result, you'll personally come to appreciate what a fine collection of knowledgeable and supportive people "live" here.
Regards,
Noel

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."
