Leo,
I find it much easier to maintain my interest for one song at a time! Thanks for making the listening process a bit easier for this old man!
On this forum, most comments are based on how a song works in the context of the lyrics or vocals or video or personally played instrument... but your song is strictly real tracks set to a chord pattern. I'm not sure how to comment on that, except to say that this was an interesting combination of real tracks, and they worked well with the chord pattern you used.
Another recurring theme in comments revolves around how well the generated tracks were tweaked to keep the end result from sounding "generated". Straight generated tracks have too much randomness, and so they don't sound "arranged". Arrangements tend to have recurring themes, or motifs throughout.
Typically, people cut and paste sections in order to establish a recurring theme that sounds like the song was mapped out and not just randomly generated with some chords and some real tracks.
In listening through your album yesterday, I got the impression that you've been having a blast exploring the possibilities you can get from mixing and matching instruments, styles and chord patterns. Indeed, there's a lot that can be done along those lines.
But I think you've gotten to a degree of proficiency with the software now where you're ready to focus on the arrangement aspect of your songs. It takes a little longer to finish an arrangement than it does to generate a chord pattern in a mixed and matched style... but the end result can be dramatically more satisfying, and I think you'll find that people will find more of the elements in your songs that they are inclined to comment on.

Thank's a lot for ur always kind words and positive advice Pat ! I'm impressed over all the time u take to listen and comment to our work on BiaB ! I tend to agree on what u said about Generating track vs Arrange tracks, and haven't spent time on that part yes.. I guess it has to do with my personality... I am a starter and explorer type, and not expert in anything in life, but know a little about much, instead of much about little... But after generating more than 200 tracks since mid 2015, I start to get the feeling my self, that I could like to dig more into the arrangement part... You inspired me to do so !

A good listen, Trygve. I preferred the guitar (mellow) to the organ (frantic). Good mix.

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."
