Hi, Alan.

Lovely track. I'm not sure which guitar parts you were unhappy with, because I couldn't hear any issues.

As you said, subtle stuff in the background, but it works.

There's an option in BiaB to force notes to be "right" under Track Settings | Fix "Sour Notes . That way, you could render out a "corrected" version of the track, and manually replace the notes in the original track.

There's also an option to "Change Pitch" within Audacity. So you can select the portion of the waveform that you want to modify, and only adjust that. That's something I'd do in my DAW occasionally when BiaB has a phrase I really like, but it doesn't fit the cadence I want.

Nice work! smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Not only the strings, but everyone in your group lays a bed of flowers for the guitar to swoon over. A what a wonderful swoon it is. Good write. So glad you finally finished it. Listened a couple times on different systems and the high quality shines in each. The mood is catures so well.


Hi Marty,

You are welcome!

I'm delighted this sits well in your ears. If I "discover" something useful that might not be obvious at first sight, I'm more than happy to pass it on. Sometimes the simplest things aren't equally obvious.

It felt like it was time to resurrect it. I'm starting to explore a redo of the first song I ever wrote - music and lyric - in 1978! I was almost young back then. I was playing in a band 18 - 24 shows per month.

Again, I always appreciate your kind support.

Wishing you the very best,

Alan

HI David,

I look forward to your comments as I almost always learn something or have something to ponder that will probably be helpful. Many thanks for all that.

There weren't any sour notes - just not the sound/inflection I was looking for. I'll check out that "Change Pitch" option in Audacity. Audacity is my goto software for "massaging" my songs. Thank you!

Hope you & your family have pretty much recovered from all those nasty bugs.

Alan

All the instrumentation, particularly the guitars, and the mix sound just right to be---just like baby bear porridge. Great title that accurately reflects the mood of your composition.

Man, are you ever prolific of late!

Another BiaB masterpiece that is very cinematic in nature.
It simply makes the listener want to contemplate ... and regarding what they can connect their own dots.

Squeaks just mean new strings to us. smile

Great mix with a fine soundstage on our monitors.

Well done!

Outstanding work.
A mellow masterpiece.
Great use of those RTs.
Great blend.

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."
