Also good to hear. Since I tend to write backwards - starting at the beginning until I figure out where it ends - I can't always tell if all the parts come together. I think they do, but it's good to hear confirmation.

Won't even mention how good you make those virtual singers sound. That's a given.

I just wish I had the skills to craft a solo from scratch. One of many things to work on, I guess.

Quote:
The drums are interesting. The snare was...different. Good to experiment (many producers are using "different" snares these days).

I'm not entirely sold on the "new" snare, in that it's got less punch than the prior snare. That brings the energy of the production down a bit, and the singers need all the support they can get.

I kept expecting the chorus to "soar". The verse melody seemed to indicate it would.

Ah, my nemesis: the chorus.

The chorus sounded like a bridge to me - the melody and where it went. That happened each time.
Each time, I expected that chorus to "rise".

If I were a pro, I'd have another go at this. But I've (probably) grown too attached to this version to repair it, so I'll keep that in mind for the next write. smile

You obviously put a lot of thought into each aspect of the creation of a song. I applaud you.

Thanks, I appreciate the helpful feedback!

David,

I like the melody and the arrangement. I may be echoing other posters but the guitars overwhelm her vocal on my listening system. That’s my only quibble.

Well, that shouldn't be happening. frown

I've actually got TrackSpacer (an auto-ducking plugin) on the background guitars to help prevent that from happening.

I made some tweaks to the track that should help with that.

Thanks for letting me know!

I know I listened and commented on this previously.... however, I don't think I hit the submit button... duh.

This has a nice drive to it. Lyrically, it's well done as well. The solo on the guitar is well done. Great choice of tracks. The singer has good tone.

Good ol' Nat is fine form. I was reminded at bit of Belinda Carlisle. Maybe it was the vibrato in parts.

Guitar solo sounds good to me. Super dope!

"two strangers/both choosing losing sides" --I like this line

Solid chorus.

I didn't like the original version because of the snare, but your final mix sounds good to me.

Lyrics and vocals have the expected quality smile and I enjoyed the listen.
When Natalie sings for you, she always has a nice Karen Carpenter touch

My only criticism is that while I would classify the song in the "easy listening" genre, it's a bit too "easy" for me, as it doesn't have a distinct chorus (lyrically it does, but there's no dynamics or other variety).

Man, I truly appreciate your effort and detail, and especially the result of all that hard work. This is terrific, David. The melody and lyrics work really well, and the overall mix (as it is now) is perfect. You do an excellent job with Natalie, and thanks to you and others here she is becoming one of my favorite vocalists.


Enjoy whatever happens!

We like the lyric rhyme scheme and like the slight changes as each verse comes along.
it's a great melody and Natalie sounds excellent ... of course it should be no surprise that J&B would like the contralto range. smile

You definitely captured the 80’s vibe and guitar solo sounds just fine to us. We love a good snare pop and work hard to achieve it so V1 of the drums was fine with us.

We always enjoy the backstory.

Kudos!

Ha!

I think I need to get used to the idea that a song can have space where someone doesn't sing. For some reason, I think people will consider it "filler" between the lyrics. Probably because I probably put a bit too much focus on that.

Thanks! That's the main reason I choose Natalie - she's got "that" sound.

Well, all that doesn't amount to much if it doesn't work... wink

Although that's not really accurate, is it? Almost every failure (and success) can be looked at afterward to see where things went wrong, and perhaps serve as a guide for future attempts.

And I still go back to older songs on a regular basis and see if I've learned enough to fix problems. Sometimes it works, other times it just reminds me I've got a lot to learn.

I actually cut that backstory way down because the forum wasn't letting me post it. I thought it was because it was too long, but it turned out to be a mis-matched tag.

Luckily, nothing important got lost in the edit.

There's a probably a moral there, if I bothered to look...

David,

As long as I only listened to this work, it really caught my attention easily.
Natalie is also very natural and the melodies are very approachable.
So, I was surprised when I read about your production process.
I was impressed by how hard the work was being done.
I felt that I would not be able to do the same thing.
I really enjoyed listening to it.

Best Regards.

Shigeki Adachi

Hi David.

This is outstanding. You've really set a very high bar indeed when it comes to achieving realism from vocaloids. I've got a long, long way to go! I'm really grateful for your detailing all your work and all your plug-ins. I struggle a lot with mixing and getting the 'best' out of my arrangements. I've picked up some excellent insights here.

Just because I have problems doesn't mean someone else would. I have a feeling anything you tried would be fantastic.

You have a talent for melody. The mix sounds perfect, to my ears - though, as you know, I'm not a "technical specialist", haha smile - I can only go by my own ears, and they tell me the mix is fine as it is smile . Where this song does shine, I think, is the melody and storytelling. Natalie shines, here, also ... whatever you've done to her voice to make her sing like this, keep doing it smile And, again, the writing itself is stellar. Thumbs up from me smile

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.

The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
