Donny, not only are you having a ball in your "old man years" you are entertaining the rest of us. Plus you have the chops and vocals to pull it off. It was great to see you in action.
Here is the song from the testimony that I shared last week, I hope it blesses!! https://soundcloud.com/ronniefields/shes-cancer-free? She’s Cancer Free She faced uncertainty, with courage in her eyes, Fighting through the storm, underneath gray skies. But now the clouds have parted, and the sun shines through, A new life begins, a prayer has come true. Chorus: She’s cancer free, oh can’t you see, A victory song, another miracle to be. The angels sing, the heavens rejoice, A story of hope, a triumphant voice. The tears of fear, have turned to tears of joy, She thanks the most high, eyes lifted to the sky. Through the darkest night, she found the light, A beacon of strength, a shining sight. She’s cancer free, oh can’t you see, A victory song, another miracle to be. The angels sing, the heavens rejoice, A story of hope, a triumphant voice. She’s cancer free, oh can’t you see, A victory song, another miracle to be. The angels sing, the heavens rejoice, A story of hope, a triumphant voice. The angels sing, the heavens rejoice, A story of hope, a triumphant voice. _HAMMERS.STY Hammers Style Pop Ballad SM 58 mic Tascam DP32SD recorder Lexicon Alpha Interface Cakewalk by Bandlab
I have never worked for Warner but having worked for both Polygram and Universal I can say all this does not surprise me. What they are willing to spend money on defines any logic. Billy
Deej...glad you're back contributing with your always outstanding compositions...this is a very cool production...I love the dark edge it emotes...Ray's added parts are so well done and mix in flawlessly...the panning of the vocals is a great touch adding to the mystery and ethereal nature of the melody...your vocals are stellar (as per usual)...really nice to hear you again and a really nice "way home" with this one!
Thanks so much for listening and the kind words, Janice & Bud! Yes, Joan did a nice job with the vocals, her personality really came through. Glad you enjoyed it! Bob
Definitely a standard to Frank. A smooth song with the right amount of swagger. Sung well, bu I don't think you need an AI enhancement to do this song justice. You own voice is superb and fits the style.
David, loved the flashback to the good old days that this song gave me; the 80's were almost as good as the 60's. Loved that groove and those guitars! Super vocal but I don't know what the lyrics were all about but since I was told not to ask I won't. You have a fantastic imagination.
Very impressive piece from start to finish! The soundscape does a great job of matching your text. Nothing wrong with your voice BTW, sounded good to these ears. Well done, enjoyed.
Thanks so much Dave, I always appreciate your reviews.
That part with Rick Beato in the YouTube posted on this thread where he was reciting the lyrics to Across the Universe gave me chills. SO good, and so relevant. Yes, that is what great lyrics sound like. Why not try and use that as an example? It's up to you. You can write whatever you want. I have stated this many times but in terms of commercial music I have read that only a very small handful of aspiring songwriters (about 75 or something in that range) got cuts on Nashville albums each year in the last decade or so and the average take-home pay from songwriter royalties was $90 a year. About 250,000 were trying each year in Nashville alone. Maybe 5 million or so nationwide. Maybe 25 million, who knows. Those aren't great odds. There is no such thing as commercial songwriting anymore and there hasn't been for a long time. It has nothing to do with AI. Producers write all of the music if not the artist and there's usually seven or eight people and it's always the same seven or eight people. On the bright side, for people who want to create their own music, and that's really all there is for Independent artists, the amount of technology to produce your own music is absolutely phenomenal. Mind boggling. Just one example is the Abbey Road collection of plugins. Even the Abbey Road engineers admit that they can't tell the difference between using the Abbey Road plugins and being in Abbey Road. I think that's pretty extraordinary. I think it's pretty extraordinary that Andrew Scheps mixes and masters all of his stuff inside the box with the very same plugins that all of us have access to. Music today is really what you want to create. You can literally do whatever you want and put it out there and if people like it they'll listen to it. This is a great time in history just to focus on producing the greatest music that you possibly can and stop worrying about all of the negative stuff. It will all take care of itself. Just focus on your tunes, that's what I say.
Yeah the Danbury CT store is a mess and is badly stocked. I buy more from sweetware when i buy. Actually i just don't buy much anymore i have what i need except strings and such.
Really nicely done. The vocal sounds unreal, not in a bad way, just in a perfect way. One of the all time most beautiful chord progressions, with an interesting history of lawsuits. So it goes...
Thanks Ron, glad you like it. You have no idea how many (slightly) detuned parts I've already added to reduce the perfection BTW, I'm not afraid of being sued. Both the YouTube and Spotify release have all the original authors on them, so they'll get all the money if my version ever makes any money, which I doubt.
I love this song. Great cover/instrumentation and synth voice. She nails the wail. I've been wanting to do a cover of this, but I just haven't found the time yet.
Thank you so much for listening and the kind words, I really appreciate it. And, YES, please do a cover. I SOOO love this song

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
