Been away for a while doing a lot of "Nu Disco" music which is doing quite well on the streaming sites. However, being an "Old Soul" guy I did revert back to BIAB to create this track which surprising is also doing quite well on my Spotify garnering over 25k streams so far. The song was just a groove that I started and flushed out using a combination of a MIDI file and BIAB style. I'm not going to get into how I use MIDI files anymore. That seemed to go off the rails last time. Let's just say I know how to get what I want out of them :-)
Any I hope you like the song.
The style I used is Relaxed Acoustic Guitar Lite Pop.
Tracks were: Bass Organ Acoustic Guitar Acoustic Guitar 2 Synth Brass Solo Guitar Smooth Guitar RealDrums Percussion Loop
All the string lines were manually played by me through my M-Audio MIDI keyboard and Cakewalk/Bandlab VSTs. They were played directly into Bandlab.
Of course all vocals and harmonies were performed by me.
My typical equipment is BIAB 2023 Bandlab for my DAW M-Audio for keys Shure SM7B for my mic Focusrite for my USB controller Effects iZotope Nectar, Autotune Live, Landr Voice, Sonitus Plugin Suite (Compressor, Reverb, Gate, etc..) Cakewalk/Bandlab suite)
Henry...this is very a cool piece...love the groove...great vocals...they are stellar...the harmonies are excellent for sure...I like the whole thing but the vocal work was the standout for me...really enjoyed it!

You are who you are because you do what you do because of what you believe.
Always nice to listen to your songs Henry, and this one is no exception. Beautiful vocal harmonies. Nice laid back groove with a wall of sound mix. Excellent as always.
Henery, love the groove! Outstanding vocal. This sounds like it was mixed in a professional studio. If I had heard this is a record store I would have bought it. Outstanding work!
I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"

Henry, congratulations on your streaming success! This is a really infectious tune that updates classic songcraft with some nice modern touches. Pleasing production, too. This song really gets to the point of what makes a song popular: It has to be FUN for the listener. And this one certainly is. Think you have another hit!
Not sure what went off the rails for you before but hope you can share more of your technique with the group, since learning from the masters is part of the magic of this forum.
Enjoyed your tune, glad you're back!

Hello, Henry. Missed ya, man, although I often check out your YT channel for guidance and inspiration. Love this one. Great feel and production with a sing-along melody. Very relatable. Yep, we can count on you for that pro sound, Henry.

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.

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."
