Like the chill out atmosphere. Nice songwriting.
Thanks! Although Jazz and Bossa Nova aren't really my style, BiaB does such a nice job with them it's a lot of fun to work with them. -- David

that is EXACTLY what I thought as I listened!!
It helps that Avanna has that sort of sound (although less than non-English Vocaloids). 
The arrangement and mix are terrific - although the "drop" of the instrument levels was "noticeable".
Thanks for pointing that out. Usually I don't pull the levels down quite so low, but I was worried about intelligibility. I actually went back and re-did all of the vocal tracks to fix a number of intelligibility issues, and I should have re-evaluated the mix a bit better.
Leaving the drums out was an excellent effect.
I'm always pleasantly surprised when doing something as simple as that turns out to be so effective.
Lowering the piano, sounded like..lowering a piano track. Perhaps it would better to drop it, too and let the guitar take that one alone?...
Ooops. I usually try to fade over a bar or two, and bring in something else as well to make the effect less noticeable. Thanks for letting me know the "slight of hand" isn't working! I really love the piano bits that I let "peek through", but I might have another go at the mix. I was also thinking of another mix I'd done, where I'd stripped it down a tad too much. This time, I'll keep a backup of the prior session!
One last thing... YOU should be singing your songs. The "girls" are very impressive. But you are better.
Thanks, I'll see what I can do!  - David

Hey David. It is completely amazing what you and Guenter are doing with these vocaloids. My mind just boggles to even think about it. I enjoyed that. Thank you!

Agree with the others here. Amazed at how the voice development on that software has been progressing over the past year.

David, I don't think you're really sick. Everything sounds really strong and healthy on this one. I especially like the flute solo. Get better, Tom

You are one of the masters of lyrics sung by virtual singers. Love that style too, it's one of my favorites.
I thought the tempo fitted very well, and I liked the way you doubled the lyrics in places, echoing the phrasing.
Not a bad effort from your 'sick bed', really.
Nice

Dave,
Avanna is getting easier to listen to. Wow, she's even started harmonizing and singing backup to herself! What will you have her doing next?
Enjoyable listen. You write nice lyrics.

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."
