Wow. I wasn't expecting that ...
A great rocker and you have tamed that vocaloid. Some sleigh ride that was.
Very nice full sound and well produced.
Cheers.
Mike.

Janne,
This is an excellent, fun seasonal song. I really love the Shevannai vocals but you have also coaxed some lovely Vocaloid vocals and harmonies out of Ruby.
Also the overall rocky vibe is great and has a sparkling sheen to it
Then there's the guitar solo - HOT!!
Loved it!

Janne
What a sensational and outstanding contribution. This is really well done, and like others have mentioned, this has come from left field.
Excellent.

Greg Thanks Greg for your kind words I hadn't heard about Trans-Siberian Orchestra before but now I'm listening to them, interesting stuff. There is sort of a similar Finnish group Raskasta Joulua, they have made heavy metal version of Christmas songs, check for their English album Ragnarok Juletide, for example White Christmas on YouTube.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
