Is there a link to the actual article? I couldn't see it. I've heard some Suno stuff...built from a song written by a songwriter/singer. Some of it was okay. Nothing I'd want to own in the main. I'm old - I don't use my phone for the internet & I don't like using things such as the melodist in BIAB.

. But I think they should stop using that awful clown font - epsecially for YT videos, it is sooooooo outdated and betrays the sophistication of the product. Is it the font on the chord sheet that you're referring to, or something else?

Hi Ray! I reckon the mark of a good video is when one pauses listening to an excellent song to make out the non-redacted text of the letter from the CIA files! Well done! Andrew Thanks. Yeah, that backing film was a great find - interesting, worrying and every now & then a perfect fit.

Hey Ray, This is a lot of fun! I agree with Bob you do a lot of punky stuff man! But I love it. It reminds me of going to CBGBs back in the day. This is the coolest video ever. Happy holidays bro!! Ta David, Oh what I'd have given to see Television at Hilly's place.

Super video for a super song, Ray. Like how you gave the lead singer so much screen time.  AI videos wear on me, but your stuff is always a delight. Well, the surrogate singer anyway. Glad you liked it. THANKS

Jacob, I have all of my RTs and RDs on a different HD/SSD than C/:. That way I can and have copies of them on off-line backup disks. For the C/: programs I am going to use a PC to PC program move software. YMMV Yes, I also install BIAB on an external drive (It's too big for the C-drive ) Don't you have to install all the real-tracks when you update to a new version of BIAB? Can you simply point to the old folder and then BIAB will accept them? I went from Windows10 to Windows11 this year, and BIAB2026 is the first BIAB-install I have on Windows11, and so I went through and installed all the real-tracks (And all the various other addon-packs I have bought through the many years) again on the new machine (Because I figured it was necessary to do this so Windows would register everything correctly, but perhaps I could have just pointed the new BIAB2026 to the old realtracks-folder... that certainly would've saved me a days worth of installing haha ) Anyway, an automatic process, that could check-out everything one has bought over the time, would still be super-nice so one doesn't forget to install something or install the same content multiple times (For example, I bought BIAB2024 ultra-pack, but only BIAB2026 Pro, so now I have realtracks called realtracks and other realtracks called pro-tracks in the download-manager, and I'm not really sure if the pro-tracks are just some of the same real-tracks I already have from earlier versions of BIAB where they were called realtracks. So I downloaded and installed everything, but perhaps that meant a lot of gigabytes were really unnecessary to download and install. I really do find it confusing and really think the management-system is ready for an overhaul so there is just one single list of files on has and can download and install) Thanks Jacob, I dread having to go through that mess again. Was hoping they would make this Wish happen, even if it meant adding only 199 new RealTracks instead of 200! lol Yes, I actually went with the BIAB2026-pro version this time because I really don't need any more realtracks for now (I actually wish there were much more midi-content) And when I checked what was new in the 2026-ultrapack version it was clear that I would end up paying 100 dollars for a few new realtracks because I already had all the other things from when I got BIAB2024-ultrapack. I do love the realtracks (Mostly the real-drums actually), but, to be blunt, I'm not into country or jazz so I personally don't really need more of that (And, to my ears at least, the new realtracks sounded mostly like a repeat of what has already been made. I do feel like it's kind of stagnated a bit when it comes to innovation. A couple of versions ago they released a cello, which is awesome, and I do wish they would come up with more different things like that, instead of always centering around country and jazz. But that's of course subjective and really only relevant for my own music-needs so it's not meant as any kind of complaint )

From what I understand at this point, the concepts of consonance and dissonance appear as an outcome of neurological processing resulting in to what degree we find a given audio input as pleasing. Another non-Boolean spectrum where we have degrees of pleasing (or non-pleasing) audio inputs. I don't know that's something that's generally accepted. That consonant and dissonant intervals align closely to physical phenomena - such as the overtone series and beating - would put a strong weight towards physical explanation, rather than a neurological one. The concept of a critical band is well known, where frequencies are "close enough" that the ear can't distinguish between them. The psycho-acoustic phenomena of masking is when weaker harmonic signals that are "masked" by stronger, nearby harmonic signal and thus not heard. Audio compression algorithms take advantage of this by removing the weaker harmonic signals, thus reducing the signal complexity. Similarly, it is hypothesized that different tones that lie in the same critical band are perceived as dissonant. The timbre of tones will come into play, as richer timbres with more overtones will share more critical bands. In short, although it's been known the ratio has been a factor in how consonant an interval is likely to be heard, it's only relatively recently that we've identified a probably underlying physical explanation in the auditory systems. Critical bands provide this sort of explanation. Obviously, hearing consonance in music instead of simple intervals is more complex.

THAT VOICE! A fab arrangement and narrative with Torrey trademark harmonies. Smooth but with biting harmony lead guitars. The "Don't go"s are icing on the cake.

Great song, Christian! Music and lyrics, both. Funny, I was just on a youtube channel for speaking French, and it said "Never say something is 'great'. Say, 'It's not bad.'" Well, this is great, je pense. ; )

Nice song, Andrew, the remix's little touches won me over. The first two lines of the verse reminded me of 'Veronica' - the last time I made a comparison like that the user gave me some thinly veiled grief - so please accept it as a compliment and not an accusation of theft. Your song def has its own identity and it's a good one. I played it several times so that's a good sign. Excellent work!

Not bad, not bad at all! It served the song, so you did well. I'm in the same boat. Never was a shredder, but I can only play the slow stuff now. If that. Enjoyed the humorous aspect of this as well. Happy Holidays!

You should sing more often Mario! Good song and good singing - so good to hear the human voice with a song. ... and your guitar solo was not bad either! When you mentioned in your song 'shredding', I was wondering if you were still talking about the cheese? BTW - that pick? I'd go look where you found your keys if I were you. Well done! Andrew

It's a catchy song. The way you sang 'you, you, you' was particularly effective, and the chorus was ace. The song stayed with me for quite a while, which I think is the mark of a good tune. Well done!

Thank you Mario, I was really happy at the rework with the SEETHE style, although I did mute two additional twangy guitars that didn’t fit the song. Six months since I recorded the vocals, gives you an opportunity to reassess with a fresh set of ears, and I think the vocal wasn’t too bad. One or two places where I was at my limit. Glad the video made you smile. It’s easier to paste together stills than actual clips….not my favourite part of the process. Cheers Mario, regards.
