Hey folks...I have acquired another voice to complete my new trio...Saros (I don't like the name) is joining Hayden and Natalie and forming a group with the BiaB boys and girls...I'm calling them "Fresh Fire" as they have given me a fresh start with some of my older music...Saros (though I will rename him Cyrus) is the lead singer here with Hayden and Natalie singing the other parts...just a gentle P&W number that I've always loved from 1981...so...if you do...thanks for listening...Dan

Dan, well, to repeat what Mario and Dave said, we've known you as a master arranger for a while now, but now you've become known a master of the synth vocalist in (seemingly) no time at all. These vocals are SO nuanced and natural sounding that...well, they are transparent as synths. And...whew, that last vocal line REALLY rips! Nicely done!!!

Almost forgot to add: Fantastic song, totally worth the save!

Dan,

Another amazing piece of music and tech. Great song and great use of Synth V. You have a masterful touch with these voices.

Excellent!

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

First of all, I like the name change of your newest 'vox guy'.

Secondly, great use of BIAB and these vocals to highlight your talents, Dan!

Thirdly, this one is AWESOME as are so many of your songs, my friend!

Howdy Dan. I've only had time to listen to a couple of songs today, but it's been such a long time I jumped on here. When I saw you had a new one here I had to choose it as one to listen too. I sure am glad I did. This is a great song Dan, as so many of yours are. It's easy to see why it's been one you've held on to for so long. Thanks for sharing it with us. You've got those voices down very well, and once again I love the writing and arranging. That finger picking guitar was especially nice. Superb job.

Dan,

Really pretty song, and you do some wonderful work using the vocaloids. Gorgeous harmonies. Though as beautiful as it is, I confess I miss your vocal on this. But, boy, this is sounds great.

I bet a guy who can write and produce a song like this makes some great coffee and awesome sandwiches!!

All my best to you,

Deej

Great vocal group and terrific name --Fresh Fire. You may not feed them coffee and cake, but you put so much goodness in their "mouths," and what comes out is pure magic. Outstanding arrangement, production and precision. Beautiful and very uplifting song, Dan.


Enjoy whatever happens!

First of all we love the name Fresh Fire for your new band.
As others have pointed out your skill with the Synth vocalists has improved rapidly.
The harmonies sound heartfelt and like family harmony.
The pleasant harmony subtleties are noticeable and must have taken a lot of effort.

This sounds lovely and the lyric message is conveyed joyously.

Nice band and mix.

Enjoyed it!

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!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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.
