Cool Latin vibe! "Someone told me long ago wisdom comes with age." Hmmm ... if so then I should be a LOT wiser!  Nice mix, band and performances. Enjoyed the listen! J&B

Hi Janne. I loved it! This is such a bright and bouncy number that my feet were tapping along by bar two. At time, it felt like the groove almost had a reggae feel. I really enjoyed your writing. The lyrics worked for me and the chorus was excellent. Saros and Weina were an inspired combination. They sounded excellent together. You really are getting the hang of Synth V's vocaloids. I'm envious All the best, --Noel Thanks Noel for your pleasant words No need to be envious, you have already done amazing things with Synth V in a very short time Janne

Another better and clever play with the words in a melancholy song. I enjoyed the mood and how the band supports it, the accordion and the pedal steel have the right mournful tone, I like to hear TexMex - sadly bit underused on this forum. The chord changes between minor and major are pleasant. Starting in minor and ending in major with the line "So maybe we'll be better friends.", that's Marty's positive trademark signature . Janne

Janice at the Top Of Her Game. But then, when isn't she? Killer harmonies (of course). A good piano-based production. Peter's fills/leads - nice!. Sweet sounding Bass. The sitar is a wonderful surprise - fits perfectly... The standard Perfect Mix. A delightful song. Definitely goes on the favorites list. Love the Chorus. And that smooooth melody... One of your best! fj

Nice tune and vocals. Well you know, I'm sure this happens very often, but if you're not famous it doesn't matter. Cheers Mike B.

Welcome Izzy. I think it's a cool hip-hop song with some really interesting elements. Lots of good lyrics (I would probably make 3 songs from these lyrics alone) and even if you don't have a typical hip-hop voice, it sounds authentic. A pretty good start to the forum, I think ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

Another great song to the Greatest Generation!! Well done. So glad we didn't have to land on Normandy today. People would just start crying and have a protest riot, and then break out into tears again when they couldn't log into Facebook. Meanwhile, we would all be living on a potato farm.

<…snip…> Music does not pay as well as some other things even if you are Taylor Swift. <…> Not sure about Ms. Swift, she seems to be doing all right. Very few musicians make the 'big time', but then very few of any business make 'the big time'. I was a Cable TV Field Engineer for a few years, and it paid much better than music. But I wasn't as happy as I am being a musician. By analyzing what the market in my area desires, and fulfilling that need, I have never been rich, but I've never been poor either. My house, in a nice section of town, is paid off. I did that in 10 years. I don't have luxury items, but I also have zero debt. My small, music business, pays the bills. Life is way too short, and at an early age, I decided to get the most joy and happiness I can, and the least amount of stress and irritation. Other than 2 different day-jobs while testing what it is to be normal, I have, and continue to make my living doing what I would do for free — making music. I'm having a very happy life, so I call that a success story, even though I never made 'the big time'. Each of us has our own tastes and desires, so my life might choices might not fit anyone else. <…snip…>We never played many true covers. Some covers yes but very different from the original. We never had any more difficulty selling originals than covers. I think that was because of the really exceptional musicians I got to play with and the fact we were serious about entertaining. <…> Good for you. I've played with some incredible musicians that were entertaining, but worked one gig per week. Perhaps because I'm in a small market area, nobody is hiring originality. Analyze your local market, see where the demands are, then supply it. In my area, the gigs that offer steady work are hiphop, country, or pop/rock — all cover song gigs. There is a one day per week jazz venue, and a few that cater to Caribbean or Latin American music. But the gigs are not steady, and there are many more musicians trying for those gigs than there is a demand for them. I play pop/rock, probably 80% covers, done our way, sometimes close, sometimes not. We also mix in country, Caribbean, Latin American, blues, jazz, and a few other genres. Variety seems to work for us, and with over 650 songs, we can adapt our music to the audience of the day (or night). There is more than one way to make money doing music, what works for one person might not work for another and what works for one area might not work for another. What is the supply and demand where you want to gig? Notes ♫

Noel, A really beautiful song! The vocals on this are especially good, and you've really knocked it out of the park. I love positive, upbeat songs like this. The entire production sounds fabulous. Great job!!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
