Chris, slinky and where-are-my-sunglasses cool. Nicely arranged and mixed, that open sound sounds great. The Suno parts turned out nice, too. Well done!

What a cool song, David. I'd support the Dylan comparison, but don't recall accountability being high on his list of subject matter. So in my book you've one upped Ol' Zimmy here. Super vocals and arrangement. Like how the musical walls close in as the song advances. It's a neat effect. Credits read like a one man band, which I know you can do. At any rate, it's really well played AND exceptionally well done.

Hey Vic, I muted all and un-muted track by track after you said this. Yeah, the bass is slightly panned left but that was intentional. I did it on purpose for a "classic rock" effect. I like the sound, but if it is offensive to some I could pull it more center for a final mix. No sweat off my back. The vocals need space and the sound is intentionally raucous. Thanks for the close listen.

What does it do that Drumagog ($99), Slate Trigger 2 ($119), Waves InTrigger ($40) and similar sample replacement tools cannot? All can split a mono drum track into 8 or more tracks. I don’t do Waves but have had the other two for years.

Very Dylan with great lyrics. There is a strange bass noise coming from the left, which is distracting. Do you have the bass panned left? Vic

Hi, you all! When I read 'reggae,' I became curious. Especially because a country singer was going to do this. Well, I had been convinced of Janice's qualities for a long time, so I thought, this must be the 'superior' level of quality then. And it was! As Marty wrote, you could almost picture Janice with dreadlocks. And actually, I heard the atmosphere of 10CC in it too; amazing! I was surprised that you used 17 tracks for it, Bud. I usually don't get further than 12 or 14. And then I start to find it a bit excessive. Well..., my next song is going to use 34 tracks. I'm not holding back anymore!!! Peter played guitar on it very well too, even though it was a different genre. I want to hear a few more of these from you guys!!! Hans Actually this is our sixth reggae tune but they’ve been spread out over the years. Thank you for the very nice comments about the vocals. Hey, a lot of those 17 tracks are drums, percussion and hand claps so if you go for 34 that will make it easier. 😀 We three appreciate your review very much! J&B

Hope everybody is great. Been swamped with work and travel. Trying to get caught up. I have no idea where this one came from. But, it came quickly.  I am sure it means something. TRUTH OF THE MATTER By David Snyder https://www.reverbnation.com/davidpsnyder/song/35414369-the-truth-of-the-matter V1 If things were not the way they are, they might be different, and if I wasn't so damn guilty Then I might be innocent, And the judge he did agree and so they kept the cuffs on me, and if I've had a change of mind before I crossed that line, I wouldn't be in prison, I'd be free CHORUS And the truth of the matter is the choices that I made, every word, every look, every deed along the way, I made my path and destiny brick by brick along this road, The truth of the matter is The next decisions are my own if I ever get a second chance and I ever make it home V2 There’s bars across my windows now And I got dreams like everyone But I just can’t remember How my conscience came undone And if I wasn’t so damned selfish Then I might be innocent Now I spend my time repenting Of all the wasted days I’ve spent And all these drunken memories Aren’t worth a goddamned cent And for everything I thought I knew I never once said what I meant CHORUS 2 And the truth of the matter is the choices that I made, every word, every look, every deed along the way, I made my path and destiny brick by brick along this road, The truth of the matter is The next decisions are my own if I ever get a second chance and I finally make it home If I ever get a second chance Might have to kneel before the throne If I ever get a second chance And I finally make it home If I ever get a second chance Might have to kneel before the throne Music and Lyrics copyright 2026 by David Snyder ASCAP/Day of Faith Music David Snyder: vocals, lead and rhythm guitars, strings, synth, arrangement, additional instrumentation, production, mixing, mastering

What i like about this thread is that Blues1952 mentions how this product works specifically with RealDrums. I had always hoped that PG Music would develop mote drums with stems. Thanks to all who posted.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
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. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
