Thank you for sharing,
Misha.

P.S. No need to mention modern day wonders... but from the past gems, Stalin comes to mind. Vast majority, it seems either truly loved him, or feared him. The ones who feared turned out to be right. Ohh well.

Misha: It's good to hear from you. I hope all is well. Yes, Stalin is one of many I've had in mind.

That is an excellent RT/RD band.

The mix is superb and sets up an excellent soundstage on the monitors.
And we can hear the Ozone mastering sparkle ... well done.

Enjoyed it!

PS: Not to hijack the post but smile Bud's academic/career background FWIW is psychology.
So below is a psych 101 description. Apply to whomever.

Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

J&B: That textbook definition says it all.

Nice calm essay Scott. There's tension in the arrangement to keep me on edge - excellent.


Cheers

Valid topic in the past, present and future.
I'd say your voice is back to normal, those harmonies sound fantastic.
And this is a BIG mix, well done.

Hi Scott,

I read your lyrics, hear you singing them, very creative and even difficult to sing like that, and then I read the post from David...
After that moment I couldn't think of anything else then you pointing at some politicians. Especially the orange one.
Than doubts came. Was this really what the lyrics aimed at?
But anyway, I think you made a really good song with a well-crafted warning about False Prophets. We have them here too!
The fate of democracy???

Strong rock band, I like how the acoustic and electric guitars create a nice contrast. Great mix, the drums sound especially nice. I enjoyed your vocal and harmonies.

Scott...powerful write and delivery...there is a particular edge in both the music and the lyric that is foreboding...I always like your vocals...about the theme I would just quote a friend of mine..."Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world."

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."
