I think you will like Sinsy even more, Don-'O.

You can compose songs, enter Note Based Lyrics for the Melody - and push a button and have Sinsy automatically sing the lyrics for you.

Not a production-ready singing for performance, but certainly good enough to sell a Demo or present same to a musician-singer so that they can learn to sing it.

I found that transition to the new improved GUI is rather seamless.

Those who know the old screen shouldn't have too much trouble with the new one.


And, I also like the new GUI much better for the most part.

I can't help thinking that the wonderful developers (and Dr Gannon) did that with me in mind, in an attempt to give me my voice back. I will be eternally indebted, at any rate. I knew Peter was keen (Brit/Canadian-speak) on synthesized vox when he became suddenly very silent after hearing the sample on YT. You gotta know how'ta read them Canadians!

I'd be extremely proud and happy if I thought that I had jump-started the development.

OK - I admit it, new GUI is good, primarily for two reasons

1) Because pull downs are the SAME. Things are where I expect them to be in the pull downs, unlike MS with every release of Office, Project, Visio, studio suites, MOVE stuff in THEIR pull downs and ribbons!), and

2) MIXER is GREAT idea (Peter, who ever come up with that one needs a big Xmas bonus!) I could not have asked for a better single GUI change.

[I'm not one of those waiting for 64 bit to get stuff done, I don’t even run Sonar X3 Pro as 64 bit (yea, I bit bullet and got it for freebies after all, not the DAW updates) - so I'm good to go on this version of BIAB!]

And yes, I'll eat some crow, or other dark'ish matter, here for even doubting PG's changes to a classic piece of SW!

Another Great Job PG!
Larry
