That was the reason why Andrew Dee 19 minutes ago Forum: User Showcase
Soundcloud: That was the reason why YouTube: That was the reason why DEVELOPMENT Written sometime between 2001 and 2003 (I have a midi file dated Oct 2004), this song details some of the me to my (now) wife and me while we were dating leading me to be very appreciative of being loved and loving her. I think the bridge might have been added last, as it usually is for me - but not sure when. A point of clarification: ‘that’ in the title refers to all the things we did – not how I am referring to my wife – just making it clear. At various times over the years when I have considered the song, I have wondered about the lyrics. I've decided there's a fine line between adoration/affection, sounding 'needy' or some form of obsession. Hopefully, the lyrics come across as the first type. Coming in just over 3 minutes, this song is fairly ‘vanilla-flavoured’ and not adventurous in a musical sense. When working on the BV harmonies, I was pleasantly surprised that I was singing (on ‘I can’t waste/live…’) 7ths and 9ths of the root – not something I designed, but it sounded okay so I kept going with it. There's a section of the song I've called 'middle bit' which is repeated - it's not the chorus because it doesn't contain the title, but I wasn't sure what to call it. Is this song an A, B and C structure? Those that know more about the theory of songwriting can comment.

Re: Sancho's Pespective W.I.P. but nearly finished. It needs ears. TuneMonger 29 minutes ago Forum: User Showcase
It sounds to me like you did something pretty major to the vocals on V2, and the result made the whole song much better! Much more musical now. I like it. The telephone effect on the penultimate verse is okay - I could take it or leave it. Nice track, worth the revision for sure.

Appreciated, Ray. The visuals are very much a matter of taste. I've had very postive to negative reactions to my artwork, which I understand as there are some graphics I loathe, such as today's animations, including those in TV series and popular movies. I much prefer the old style cartoons.

Re: Grooving On Up WaoBand 4 hours ago Forum: User Showcase
I agree with what J&B wrote on SC: it's "funky" disco rather than either disco or funk (as Dave wrote). It reminds me of the kind of music you'd hear in dance scenes in 1960s & 70s movies. I can picture Roger Moore in a "Persuaders" episode dancing to it - though he was a crap dancer! laugh

Two things - your acoustic is the glue & the bass entry is a bit sudden and, on 1st listen, didn't make sense. Another geography song and an excellent narrative too. The harmony/duet/bvox are REALLY great in V3. The horns REALLY work.

Adding to Jim's excellent suggestions also look at what is running in the background. An anti-virus, anti-malware, an app calling home, a program updating, plus other background running programs can cause downloading problems. {edit} - an afterthought - a VPN can also cause problems.

I'm getting a chuckle reading these threads. It brought back memories of the discussions about BiaB replacing real musicians. When DJs and DWI laws curtailed bars, dance halls, and other places from hiring bands only those whom used BiaB or other backing track programs where working musicians. I believe the same thing will happen with AI. Adapt it and use it as a tool and keep on playing. I'm sure the pros will. Just my 2 cents.

Re: Scat! (a 3 minute video of Janice singing/dancing) WaoBand Yesterday at 11:53 PM Forum: User Showcase
Probably my favourite song of yours to date! Superb in all aspects, but outstanding is the lead solo and Janice's vocals, particularly the scat! 101%, 11 out of 10! PS: "verbal sounds that aren't actually words" are called vocables. Most if not all cultures have used them going back thousands of years. Some I class as offshoots of Ancient Gibberish (the intuitive 'language' of the Ancient Gibberites, now called by archaeologists Neanderthals - pfft!) such as Navajo and Apache vocables like "heya-neya-yanga-heya" and such; then scat and such (Pre-Modern or Modern Gibberish?) like "boo-boob-she-bob-bob-arama-langa-ding-dong" (sometime confused with "boo-boob-she-Bob-Dean-aramalaga ding-dong") and "hey-bob-aree-bob" (also how some folk greet Bob Dean); and then there's the Middle Gibberish, which I'm not keen on, such as "fala-lala-la" and "hey-nonny-no" (I mean, what's that about?). I'll stop there or I'll babble on about how great the Ancient Gibberites were - they taught the later arising and smaller-brained humans everything they knew (how to use fire, plant crops, how to make tools, what's now called haute cuisine, etc, etc), then as an ice age began and the humans were crap hunters they bit by bit ate all of the Gibberites! Pfft and triple pfft! … I'll shut up now.

Hmmm, I think these folks might have lost the debate, my understanding is 440 is the global standard. And I'm thinking any standard is somewhat arbitrary, but it's important that the world agree on a standard. But I'm still trying to figure out the linkage (if any) between altered tuning and Zepelin's uncommon sound/European children folk songs.
Maybe the linkage is the fact that if said children folk songs were ancient they may have been in 432 and Led Zeppelin may have wanted to emulate that. There is a lot of controversy about what sounds better, songs in 440 or songs in 432. Through out the ages there has been no tuning standard, that is until 1955, or 1939 if you want to include the suggestion to standardize 440.

Yes, Bud, it sucks, but it is what it is. I am 79, only one year behind you, so I get what you say. None of these things affects me in any real way. Yes, I sort of know what Suno is, but I never used it. Not to say I would not, or I would use it. I am way deep into AI, and Suno is child's play compared to the insanity I am involved in with AI. I just got back from Europe. I got to play live just like you and I did when we were kids. Most fun I have had in a good while. I feel empathy for anyone who gets displaced by technology. There are worse things...life goes on. I assume there may be a few aboriginals living in tree tops in remote places north of Australia, wearing only one item that I want define here. So... there are those who cannot change with the technology, those who choose not to, and people like me who are on the other far end of the spectrum. None of that is right or wrong, good or bad. In fact, in my less-than-educated mind, there is no good or bad, just cause and effect. Cheers, Billy

Hi David, Here's some ideas you might want to try. Download the files to the computer's internal storage drive. Later on, transfer the files to the external storage drive. Download the files one at a time. Don't download and install files at the same time. You didn't mention your internet connection speed. Sometimes a slow connection can adversely affect file downloads.

Appreciated Ghostgum! The soundtrack is 2 instrumentals, so each one is a lot shorter than "Alice's Restaurant". But since then there have been oodles of recordings lasting longer than 10-11 minutes. Side 2 of Love's 1967 "Da Capo" album is a single track at 19:04; BS&T's 1969 "Blues Paer2" is 11:45; Franck Zappa's" Gumbo Variations (69 or 70) is 12:55; plus bands like the Grateful Dead and Pink Floyd must have done a lot of stuff over 11 minutes long. Neil Young has done 3 songs longer than 10 minutes: "Cowgirl In the Sand" 10:09; "Natural Beauty2 10:23; and "Change Your Mind" 14:40. There must be lots more bands, particularly rock and jazz, who have far exceeded 11 minute tracks. My longest instrumental is "Sophia Loves V2: Gnosis of Love" at 7:30.
