But the interest I pay on your love that I get, Makes me only want to get deeper in debt. Chorus: My prime interest is you. My prime interest is you. Our love is safe, locked away, and my prime interest is you. Verse: May never be a millionaire, think I’ll stop trying. In your love I own a million shares, and I’m still buying. And if success in life is based on the things that I hold, Then having you here girl, is wealth untold. Chorus: My prime interest is you. My prime interest is you. Our love is safe, locked away, and my prime interest is you Bridge: The other accounts were closed so long ago. And just for the record girl, I want you to know… Chorus: My prime interest is you. My prime interest is you. Our love is safe, locked away, and my prime interest is you

OP BIGALTX Enthusiast Joined: Aug 2018 Posts: 18	WOW... Deryk... Thanks so much! I asked a relative of mine (an amazing musician, who has done studio work) about the quality of the Real Tracks. He said they were as good or better than I could get if I hired musicians and studio time in a local studio (a well known and respected studio). He just confirmed what I thought. The Real Tracks (in my opinion) could be used on ANYONE'S project. They are THAT good. Most folks have no problem using drum tracks like EZ Drummer, etc, but would balk at using "canned" guitar, bass, etc tracks. NOT ME. Anyway, thanks for the "ready for radio" comment. alan PS... I know others are requesting it, but please consider splitting the drums into at least 4 tracks. Kick, snare, and stereo overheads. To me... that's the only thing lacking in BIAB!

OP BIGALTX Enthusiast Joined: Aug 2018 Posts: 18	Thanks so much, Joe! And thanks for helping to bring Band In A Box to hack musicians (like me). I play bass, rhythm guitar, and keys, but I could never play like these "Real Track Musicians". Not in a million years. I hope to have some BIAB "testimonial" and "how-to" videos soon. I've been using BIAB since at least 2004, maybe earlier. More songs coming soon... alan

Nicely done! -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing? BiaB 2025 \| Windows 11 \| Reaper \| Way too many VSTis.
