Laurent,

This one certainly captures the summer vibe. Really nice selection of RTs, great mix and Hayden on vocals was a good choice.

Excellent!

Laurent, thanx so much for this song. Yesterday I spent 4 hours snow blowing and shoveling and today another 2 hours; I'm to old for that. I really need a super beach song like this one. Everything is spot on. Loved that guitar lead.

Velvet Voice indeed.
Gentle swinging n roll...
Oddly, after hearing the Sun of the Beach phrase, my mind flipped it to Son of a .... but that's my sick skull.
Nice work


Cheers

Laurent, very smooth and warm. I can feel the sand between my toes, but it feels good. smile That EP sounds great, and the vocalist is quite nicely done. The scatting with the solo near the end is very cool, too. Don't forget the SPF 50!

Really nice mix and strong overall feel...I really liked your handling of the synth voice--I'm so impressed at the quality. My only comment is: be very careful of creating sung words that are awkward to hear--sometimes the emphasis is on the wrong syllable and an English-speaking listener will immediately sense it--perhaps choose another word, or maybe you can change the emphasis in the synth voice, not sure if that can be done. However, enjoyed my winter visit to the beach!

Very enjoyable song. Reminds me the ones by Sade, which I dig very much. Very nice vocals- and that's what people are listening in songs.

Thanks Ray for the comments. When I started the song: I said to myself, "sun on the beach you make my heart beat" it's good, but obviously it could quickly be diverted. But sometimes ambiguity brings richness.

What a pleasurable listen, Laurent. Love that vocal and you gave it such a fun melody to showoff. You created the perfect feel for a summer breeze on a very inviting beach, and mixed it in a way that warms the heart. The perfect respite from the extraordinary cold we're experiencing now.


Enjoy whatever happens!

This is very nice.....

Outside my studio door, I have 3 inches of snow and we still have flurries. But spring is only a few more weeks away and before long we'll be complaining about how hot it is.

Thank you DC Ron. When I finished the song, I looked in the mirror and found that my skin had tanned a little.

Thanks Tom for the comments. It's not always easy when you don't speak a language fluently to master its accents and subtleties. I've checked the phonemes and accents, but there are certainly things I'm missing.

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.
