Super groove

Super vocal - I didn't understand a word but that didn't diminish the fact that I really like this rocker

Excellent band and mix

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.

Very good song.
Great music and very good vocals.
Is the song about a land that exists in games or movies playing in the future?
We also often sing in our own language.
But we've noticed you always get more replies if you sing in English smile

Go on in the language you prefer.

Thank you all for your compliments.

I guess what I am trying to say in this song is that the land, the nature, and you have everything you need. You must behave as you feel and find your roots. Don't pretend, just to please something you think you should. Deep inside we all know the difference of right and wrong, but we tend to accept everything as long as it does not affect ourselves. Your land of wishes is waiting, and ready to wake up, but it all depends on you. Be brave, honest and speak out.

Ari,

Your track sounds fantastic! I also don't understand the lyrics, but I do know great production when I hear it! Great job with your vocals and production! Studio One is a great product! The song is great!

Thanks, Torrey

Howdy Ari....

I agree with all previous comments.
Well produced, good vocals, well performed and fine mix.
I'll have to brush up on my Icelandic. smile

Maybe I'm the only one but I hear a latent Stones vibe on this one.

I like it....have a good one.

Cool country rocker Ari. Excellent vocal and backtrack. I also use Studio One to mix and master. Great tool for finishing off the productions. Well done.

A very catchy song, Ari. Well sung, and the band is just perfect. The background vocals shine nicely in support of the lead. That solo soars. I like the idea behind the words. The way is should be.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Mario

Me listening..... Thinking this is what I'm hearing......

Everything I said she craves, and no one ever called
I turn them over
( huh????? WTF????? ) at this point I realize...this is not The Kings English but sure had me going there for a few bars


This is a great rocker and well done. I liked it even though as Mario said.... I didn't understand the words.

Hi Ari,

Enjoyed grooving along to your Rock N Roll R&B type song.

Good work all round with the mix and performances.

Best Regards

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
