Great work on this BlueAttitude! I enjoyed the overall tone of this. Fantastic choice of instrumentation. Those Guitars have a great crunch to them and the vocalist is powerful. Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Joe

David, man, you pretty much made my day with those comments! Makes me think I'm heading in the right direction, thanks so much!

No idea where the video footage came from. We decided a long time ago that Chris is much better at doing the videos than me, so I just let her do her thing.

Very cool track Dave and Chris. Back track groove was infectious. Loved your guitar dancing around the vocal. Very nice touch. Vocal was just superb. Man has she got an awesome voice. Your solo was also very cool. Tone was so gritty. Just an excellent tune...

Wow!

This is one nuanced tune. Plenty cool vocal, lyric and guitar subtleties make it stand way, way above the pack.

The production sound like a group that’s been playing together a long time - a credit to the two of you (along with a shout out to BiaB).

There’s such a smooth, polished feel that even after several listens we just get drawn in and forget about trying to listen for “this or that.” It’s so easy to fall into the whole production. That is a perhaps awkwardly stated compliment! smile

Tremendous write, performances, production and a cool video also!

Thanks, Cliff!

Getting good at mixing is mostly about practice and training your ears, the more you do it the better you get at it.
Getting good feedback from others also is priceless and there are a few people here that to my ears constantly produce pro quality mixes.

My name is Dave BTW, Chris is my songwriting partner (lyricist, singer, keyboards)

Thanks, Noel for those very kind remarks, means a lot!

We have a lot of fun working on these songs together, and at the end of the day that's what matters IMHO.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

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. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
