Happy Valentine's Day! Here I hope to quell forever any notion that you cannot mix and master a 2024-era Radio Hit with Band-in-a-Box.

Also, I would like to give huge shout out to AI, and all of the wonderful ways AI technology allowed me to write, mix and master this song to radio perfection.

Be in love, and love the music! It is a Brave New World for love and music now y'all!!!


SOMETHING ON THE RADIO
By David Snyder

https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs4/something-on-the-radio

Disclosure: the unruly and rebellious child pictured on the left of this Soundcloud channel banner is fully responsible for the outrageous and uncalled for sarcasm of this radio hit, as well as the guitar. While now an adult (of sorts) the child has steadfastly refused to grow past the age of nine, and just doesn't care.

Intro:

Mommy, can I play something, like on the radio?
No child, get in your room!

V1

I like a butt?
I like a butt, butt, butt, butt, butt, butt, butt????
????
(Unintelligible, hard to make out)

CH

This is an official announcement from the Parental Advisory Commission

Parents, do no let your children listen to the radio.

It could ruin their brains for the rest of their lives.

(The rest of this is really hard to make out, but that is not necessary when you are talking about a massive radio hit, mixed and mastered to spec, by monster engineers in LA and New York, using all of the latest breakthrough technology and fully endorsed by Warner, and other major labels.)

Produced with SpectraMix19 Platinum Producer PAK, the Ultimate Radio Bundle, now on sale for $5,999 until March.

David,

I think you have now officially & once and for all - BROKEN the Internet, PGmusic, life as we know it and every mastering plugin ever invented...

Epic in all ways - "MasterMix" is an understatement. smile

David,

You are so entertaining! This is carzy as hell, buit yet so much fun! I'm afraid to think of what's going on in your brain - it would scare me beyond repair!

I'll never be the same after listening to this! You're so creative, it's hard to put in words! I'd hate to be your shrink - I'd be looking for a new profession!

Keep up the creativity!

ALan

Help! Turn off the radio now! This is an extremely important message from the Emergency Management Service & the National Weather Service along with the NFL and MLB. Lock all your windows and doors and make sure your pets are safe and secure. Stay tuned for any updated subliminal alerts. Duck and cover! Now I think I’ll try to shake it off, forget what I just heard, have another cup of coffee and get on with my life.

Man, you are the most creative person I know I think, David. What an imagination!

Music wise it reminded me of Primus.

Brilliant!

Did you use Landr or Bandlab or maybe something else?

One of these days I'll learn not to take you seriously. LOL!

Clever and strangely engaging! Some of the vocals suggested a bit of Frank Zappa.

You are one of the most creative musicians that I know.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Tell you what, if you get a radio DJ out here to play this on an actual radio broadcast it would be for sure a big hit.

Cheers

Dear Dan, Bob, Brian, and Alan David,

Thanks so much for the listens to my crazy song guys. You know you're the guys that keep me sane and if it weren't for you I'd be crazier than I already am.

Have a great rest of the weekend!!
