A guitar part is written in concert pitch, but a guitar sounds an octave below what is written. In BIAB, you can adjust the Octave setting in Preferences, MIDI Channels. The guitarists I write for can read it either way, but they appreciate when I give them the music in the right register. (I have the opposite problem for piccolo trumpet, which is written an octave below where it sounds.]

Outstanding Josie! "It's a Pop Soul upbeat positive message love one another song." Your description was perfect. "The whole thing harkens back to Motown. Sounds like an early record from Diana Ross and the Supremes - a radio song." floyd nailed our feelings. Motown indeed! The open, air feel of the production is a perfect was to carry your fine vocal. No need to parse it out. it's a great production...everything worked well for us! Kudos! J&B

Playing catch up here and almost missed this one, just got back from a two week vacation. Love the Springsteen vibe happening on this! Sax sounds great, can't hear Scott's lead that well although I see you are planning on doing a remix, would love to hear that at some point. Love the picture with the Teac four-track! Man, I wanted one of those so bad back in the day. Great stuff guys, enjoyed the listen!

Yes, as others have mentioned this certainly has the classic late 50's vibe happening. And that's ok in my book! Vocals sounds great, good job on the production. Guitar solo is perfect, is that you playing? Good song, enjoyed the listen!

Bob, I enjoyed listening. The sound was great and the song had everything that good songs need. Even now, 10 minutes after the music stopped, I've still got the chorus in my head. DEFINITELY another success! All the best, Noel

Perhaps the only thing that irritates me about Win10 updates is not allowing me one stall. Say I'm in a hurry to leave to get to a gig, or I want to make an image first. I know I could upgrade but I think I'll wait until I replace the computer to get the super-duper pro version. When I bought this computer it had 8.1 on it. I'm glad they upgraded it to Win10 thought.

Great groove, very infectious! Leon always writes a good lyric and vocals sound good too. Love the smoking guitar on the outro! My only complaint is it could have been longer. Good one Peter and Leon!

Very different, and very cool! Janice sounds great, love it when she bends up to hit the note! The harmonies during the chorus really kick things up a notch too. Nice imagery with the lyrics, Robert!

Nice! I always enjoy the collaborations you two produce. Love the subtle lead guitar in the background, just adds that little extra touch to the vocal without distracting from it. Very nice solo too! You are definitely the king of melodic playing in my book. And Robert always writes an interesting lyric and I dig his vocal too. Very nice guys!

Hi Tom, I don't use the multi riff function. I just generate a lot of tracks (hundreds ...) and I mix the best notes I've found to do melodic lines for each track. Christian

<<< I know some of the their older midi styles do this automatically, so there must be a way. >>> Can't you use one of these templates for the chord chart and replace the midi tracks with RealTracks?

If you have 32 gigs of ram and you're using some huge softsynth library with multiple tracks that needs that much memory, no problem with JBri

Don, That`s some sweet playing ( you or an RT on lead ?) and I like the backing tracks too. Your backstory for the tune is cool too, of course! Robert

Excellent! I'm glad it worked for you. The percentage values (or the textbox above these where it's possible to set any percentage) will work on the printout. When you get things set up, Go into 'Print' and then 'Preview' and you'll see what I mean.
