Sometimes like this tune that juxtaposition works very well.

We agree with Dave on “if it sounds good, then it’s right” 😊
The mix sounded fine on our monitors. Nice soundstage.

Enjoyed the song and the backstory!

Thank you Janice and/or Bud [Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]
"Beautifully sad" sounds good, it's noted as a possible phrase for a future song smile

PS Regarding the distorted guitar you were looking for ...
Do you use RT's that are DI rendered and apply your own amp sims?
If not that gives exponentially more options for getting the sound you want.
FWIW
Not only that, but I've also sometimes reamped distorted guitars with success.
This song liked neither.
But thanks for this tip!

Fun fact, the violin in this song runs through an amp simulation.
A pretty clean one, though.
Ethically speaking, I'm pretty ruthless when I want a certain sound cool

Thanks a lot for your really nice words, Scott.

There's one song ahead of this one in the queue for Spotify, so I'm guessing it will be released sometime in mid-April.
I will set up a reminder for myself to send you a message when it is released.

Thank you for taking the trouble to listen to my song on YouTube and your nice comment.

B.D.,
Very serene tune. Sad & beautiful. Neat progression and captivating lyrics. I am not a big fan of AI voices, but this works great. Mix is clear and listens well. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Brain,

As I already said on YouTube; Wonderful lyrics, sung impressively in a subtle song. I love it very much.
And now I heard it again, my comment stays unchanged.
No, wait; the lyrics and singing are so beautiful (and desperate). I was silent for a while after the song ended...
I hope you like that,

Hans

Nice change between sections - less really is more.
Thank you for listening and your detailed feedback, David.

Thank you, Misha, for listening and your kind words, especially if you're not a fan of artificial singing (there's not much intelligence in Synthesizer V , however. 99% of the job is done by hand and ears).

Thank you, Hans, for taking the time to comment both here and on YouTube.
And, YES, I like that smile
But I do also appreciate critical comments, so never hesitate to bring this up if you think a song could be improved.
I'm here to learn and improve.

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.
