Hi All
Ive just done something crazy!Ive entered the UK Eurovision song contest with a song I wrote in 2014 ,I chopped it from 4:50 to 3 mins as is the rules .I over dubbed the song with a couple of RTs ,one a guitar and the other the ohs and ahs.I havent it up on the web yet and I will post it for you asap.The song is a catchy rock/ pop tune done as an Abba type song ie miserable subject and catchy music.A girl from England supplied the vocals ..I wrote this song before I started BIAB but used Biab and realband with it since 2015 on and off.Well wish me well!Hugh

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track.
