Hi, Marty. You had me at the first major 7th chord.  Of course, Dave is excellent on the guitar. I'd comment on the bass, but I didn't notice it. Which means it's doing the job right.

Hi, Laurent. Nice - solid mix, good soundscape. I agree with TuneMonger - I really wanted a bridge to give the vocal a lift.

Hi Gordon, Thank you for your response. Now I understand your request much better. I was trying to match the subject heading with your text and it wasn't very clear to me. The last paragraph especially confused me. Hi Jim, Yes, sorry. My fault entirely. My frustration crept into the post. I have a number of things I've tried to do as workarounds, which when handling only chords seem to work just fine, but when I'm trying also to include a melody, the latter often scrambled in what appear to me to be unpredictable ways. That might be clumsiness or misunderstanding on my part, but I do find it tricky to prove "what just happened?". As an example, one recent attempt to merge two choruses back into a folded song resulted in bars five and six of the melody in the second chorus just disappearing somewhere, leaving melody and chords out of sync. The tag/coda was similarly confused. I fixed the melody just by copying again chorus 1 to chorus two. I can't remember how I fixed the tag ... possibly just writing the notes again. Unfortunately, so many things behave oddly that I'm unclear if it's operator error, bug, or something else. The reason for the Wish at this particular time is not just that I think it should just allow early exit and/or tag from a single chorus song, but also that my many attempted workarounds so often seem to not actually work. I did consider asking how other people worked around this, but I checked post history and see I've asked three timers before, with the best workaround being to use the piano roll instead of notation.

Howdy, you three. This shines brighter than a full moon on a hot summer night. Janice is smoky vamping to the max! This was worth the price of three admissions! And Peter - what can you say? I hope he had a fire extinguisher close by as that guitar was smoking. And Bud - you twist knobs better than anyone I've heard. What a track!!!!! Best to you. Alan Thanks for the kind and very generous comments. And it’s great to hear from you! J&B

Laurant, This is a very good Southern Rock song. And it fits perfectly in the genre here in the States. Everything sounds great! This is great music. Je l'aime! I have a ew with vocals and Sunoi enhancements over BIAB tracks. Nice work! Alan Thanks for the comments, David. Laurent

Hi Laurent! A very enjoyable song that sounds very polished. The guitars - BIAB and Suno - are working together well. It’s rock, and the accent of the singer is southern, plus slide guitar, so it sounds Southern Rock to these Aussie ears. The AI video is good (getting really good these days) and I enjoyed seeing scenes where AI produced imagery that had errors e.g. a car bonnet being crumpled then magically repairing itself. In fact, it was so entertaining, it distracted from the music, so I closed my eyes so I could focus on your music. Not being a user of Suno or AI myself, I’m interested in the process of getting the vocal and guitar stems out of Suno into your mix in Cubase. Good song! Andrew Thanks for the comments, Andrew. It’s true that AI-generated videos can be comical at times, as the AI sometimes fails to grasp the concept of physical reality. I composed this track in BIAB and then imported it into Suno to generate the vocals and stylistic arrangements. This yielded two interesting versions, from which I extracted the individual tracks. Finally, I brought all the BIAB and Suno tracks into Cubase to select the parts I wanted and handle the mixing. Laurent

I usually take two things into consideration when trying to find a song title . . . First, I want to have the title reflect at least one line if not a repeated line in the song. Second I try to find a title that hasn't been done to death. For an intentionally 'nonsense' song I think you would be fine coming up with a nonsense title. Using a company's trademark name might not be the best choice. Although there was "United Breaks Guitars"

Ahhhhhh <-- many of those Hs are happy sounds that you are back, buddy. There aren't enough Hs to say how relaxingly cool this sound is, Alan. You always make the listener especially happy they pushed Play. i'll light one up for ya, but to paraphrase Belushi, "I gave up cigarettes but i didn't give up smokin'." Alan, so glad you are recovering. Please send me an email or call. Hey, guy! Hope my favorite Oennsylvanian is doing well. I'm on the mend and headed in the right direction. As I told Dan a moment ago, I now have a legit excuse for the brain fog! Relaxing and cool - I'll take that with much appreciation. Take care and wishing you and yours the very best... Alan

Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.
