You might try getting a free month trial of Starlink. Well actually I don't know if it's totally free but a friend here is getting a month trial for either free or big discount. Just a thought.  The Service might be free bit I understand that you still have to purchase the hardware.

Oh Alan, I am so sorry. Di was such a sweet, wonderful woman. God bless and comfort you. I know you are still in shock right now. When the grief gets too bad you can find help and support from others who know what you're going through at a local church or online with a Griefshare.org group. It's once a week group grief counselling for 13 weeks. All you pay for is the workbook. Hugs and prayers.

Ray, loved the concept. Super backing tracks. Your bass playing is excellent. Like others I did have difficultly with the vocal. I really liked the Mellotron sounds. I think with a little polish, mostly on the vocal, you will have a dynamite song. PS - I have used Melodyne exactly the same way. Thanks Mr MIDI! I can polish the vocals a little more but I don't want them any louder than the already are...they're become, to me, obtrusive - particularly for the template in my scone.

Your vocals have REALLY upped and you now sound like an heir to J.J.Cale. The band is cool, the bass is insane, the guitar tone & licks are fab then CS drops in to sprinkle magic woofle dust bvox. Yeah.

The drums in the chorus took me my surprise and I had to wait a couple of bars to confirm it wasn't an error. They're probably a little to quiet for their unsettling potential. Kinda like a Tom Waits B side with a sketchy beatnik jazz groove...cool.

Biab + AI vocals give a sheen of convention and prefab to the package but that's doesn't disguise a decent melody and narrative nor is a bad thing in the ears of most listeners. Do people still drink whiskey?

Two newer midi possible midi solutions available in Band-in-a-Box are MidiSuperTracks and Microcholds. There is a video Peter Gannon made sometime in the 2010's era where he demonstrates replacing a RealTrack for a bar or two with midi and a virtual instrument. It should be pretty easy to do by creating the virtual instrument on an empty track then using bar settings to mute the RealTrack and play the virtual instrument.

Ron, Excellent! Love the song, vocals and that wonderful production. This sounds like it could be a long-lost just discovered Barenaked Ladies song. Killer band! Loved it all! Bob Thanks, Bob! Barenaked Ladies are WAY cooler than we are, but it feels good anyway. Just listened to them when Brian Wilson passed, for obvious reasons... Nice one Ron...cool beginning and it keeps keeping on muscular pop. If I had a druther it'd be that you track "We’re getting stale just like this beer with a bit of sustain on the beer so that it overlaps "I opened my eyes and stared at her" a little - sep takes obviously but that's what my head expected and you wonderfully subverted my expectations...a worthy task. Thank you, Ray! That's a brilliant suggestion, and I've updated the SoundCloud file to reflect the change. (Actually did that hours ago now) I was going to do it that way originally, but sang it the way I did first and thought, "Hey, that's not bad". But it wasn't as good as your way, either. Appreciate the listen and thoughtful input.

Arri, used to live in downtown New Orleans, and this brings back some fond memories. You've really captured the exuberance of that style of music. I'd agree with Mario that when the band comes in for the middle section they should be more up front in the mix. Once they get to that part of the tune, they're usually quite loud and clamorous. Enjoyed your tune!

After we put the monitors back on the shelf we much enjoyed it! Awesome! This could be a bonus track off The Rolling Stones’ Blue and Lonesome album. The write up for the song was quite enjoyable. Hated to come to "the end." The solo guitar RT sounded great - never a small feat to choose the "right" one for a production. Your friends fit nicely in too. The bass nailed the shuffle. We hear a fine mix all around. Two thumbs up from us - blues via a shuffle are so good - always. Keep blues alive! J&B

Man, you are a master of all BiaB productions .... have we said that before? Finding the "right" for your production solo RT's is not an easy task. No doubt it takes a lot of auditioning and perhaps some comping. The great build takes the listener nicely through the multiple moods. Great mix too. Well done! J&B

Pete, a song that I can relate. Like you said for demo purposes a synth vocal is OK, however I would like to hear you sing this one. Great mix If I were to put this in a play list it would be right before "Take This Job and Shove It" Super song Thank you Mario, glad you could relate lol I will admit that Take This Job And Shove It was a bit of an influence on this one!

Janne, an outstanding song. Super groove and arrangement That synth vocal was so real sounding that if you hadn't said anything I would have thought it was a human. Super mix PS - I did a song in 2015 about a friend whom drank himself into a nursing home at the age of 50 and died from drinking a few years later. If interested it is on Soundcloud and called Demon. So yes it can happen to anyone. Thanks Mario for your super positive review of my song I enjoyed your song Demon very much, a great song but a sad message. Janne

J'utilise Band in a Box depuis la version 2006, donc depuis près de 20 ans ! S'il était relativement facile à maitriser à l'origine, je pense comme toi que c'est devenu une usine à gaz, de plus en plus difficile à utiliser en dehors de son usage primaire (on saisit des accords et Band in a Box génère un arrangement). J'ai par ailleurs l'impression qu'il est de plus en plus "buggé". Je fais en tout cas l'amère expérience de multiples dysfonctionnements avec la version 2025 : voir mes questions récentes sur le forum en anglais : https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=109155&Number=845202#Post845202 https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=109771&Number=851891#Post851891 Mais Band in a Box reste incontournable depuis que PG Music a mis au point les "Real Tracks", ces pistes d'arrangements ou de solos joués par de véritables musiciens qui peuvent s'adapter automatiquement à n'importe quelle grille d'accords et à n'importe quelle tonalité. A ma connaissance c'est le seul logiciel au monde qui propose cette fonction : même Yamaha, qui est en pointe sur le sujet, ne propose que de la batterie pour des arrangements avec instruments réels . Hélas, depuis cette date (2011 sauf erreur), PG Music concentre l'essentiel de ses efforts à créer de nouvelles Realtracks et de nouvelles fonctions, mais néglige beaucoup l'ergonomie du logiciel, qui devient de moins en moins clair et convivial. Bonne musique quand même 🙂 !

we need an option to specify a SCALE over the chord, not just a chord. At times BB will play nonsense, for example a 'progression' ( which technically it's not, since it's the same chord) is Csus, C, both being the tonic, at times BB plays nonsense on the Csus and thinks it's a dominant chord. To be able to specify the scale, would avoid BB playing any wrong passing notes, wrong auxiliary notes, etc. It gets plenty of cuckoo notes especially over chromatic chords such as secondary dominants or borrowed chords from parallel keys. A simple option to choose what scale to play over any chord, would solve all these maddening problems. I understand this issue. I think I liked your other proposed solution better, to fix the Simpler option. I know you understand music theory so help me understand in your example, what is the scale you would want to limit BIAB to playing in a CSus chord? C Major scale? Is it the Bb you object to? Ok, I can see that, but you would be ok with a Bnatural?

A catchy pop song reminding me strangely of Beach Boys - sea & water & sunlight create a nice vision, Portugal seems to have been a very inspiring place. Lyrically positive, full of light and love, I liked especially "‘Cause all the storms and floods will be/Nothing more than scenery/As long as I can ever be/ Here and by your side" The chord progression is enjoyably full of summer. The guitars are tinkling nicely. The bass is very tight. Great vocals, sounding bit muddy is the only thing not to my taste. Janne

It's one reason why I use MIDI instead of real tracks. BiaB picks the chord inversion, which might be fine, but not what I want. If I export the MIDI song, I can go to a sequencer or DAW, and make what I think is the very good output of BiaB and turn it into something that is ready for prime time, excellent.

First I loved the vocals, then a suitable change in rhythm, skillfull guitar solo with excellent sounds, back to sensual vocals, what more can you ask for a hit song? Maybe an old fashioned audience digging this kind of songs that would be hits in last century. [quote=Brno] Thank you for listening and writing the very positive review that is appreciated by us three. And yep, it is a boomer song. 😀 J&B
