Can you send me your file (the .mgu or sgu) and i will try a screen shot to illustrate it is working or not at my end. The thing is I just had what I think is the problem you are describing with taking a BIAB video of the notation window. At first it was all mis sized like you show and no automation when played. I updated the VLC drivers and things worked nicely.

It is an enjoyable listen. It's the unusual lyrics, unexpected low vocal delivery, and initial absurdity that works so well in its favor. It's not a forgettable tune which is a good thing. I wouldn't change anything about it. I wouldn't try to dilute the lyrics. Lyrically there is nothing malicious or selfish about it. There are enough pop tunes out there that follow a formula like "We Have Tonight," "Let Me Love You Tonight," as if all the problems the lonely person has will be completely solved by the narrator if they just climb under the sheets. I find myself getting very tired of those. Back to "Organs," it's the very different take, a different angle on the subject, much different than anything I've heard before. Janne has a very good sense of melody.

Less is more as they say. Loved the verse with the E Guitar! Sounded professional to me. Beautiful vocal as well. I’m listening on my iPhone speakers and the only nit-pick, which might be from my speaker, vocals were a little hard to understand on chorus when the distortion guitar(s) kicked in. Might just be my iPhone, but I loved the song and you did an amazing song! Track Thanks Muzic Trax for your good feedback ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) I usually check my mixes in mono, but not on headphones (there are too many different models), so I think the combination of quasi mono and missing low frequencies exacerbates the problem. Thanks for pointing that out

Hi Laurent! You hit your target with this one - as soon as the strings entered, I could feel this was right on the money. I’m not a lyrics guy (they are just the vehicle for the music) so shallow lyrics don’t bother me none. Liked the sections ‘With you …’ and ‘You are all for me …’. Nice ending as well! I’m not up with the disco lingo, but would this be an example of a song where one would ‘shake their groove thing’, or is that a different kind of disco? Andrew

Dan, thanks for testing. A few of us had posted solutions. The icons I modified were quite low resolution and I kept hoping someone, or PG Music, would have a better graphics program than I did. I did not know the GUI revision would make such modification no longer possible. Maybe it’s just a question of new instructions with a link to the files? I’m mentioning this to the developers.

Hi Rob! I've only heard this classic a few times. Your voice suits the song so well - as others have also described. Your harmonica is very tasty. Loved it. Andrew Thanks, Andrew! I'm going to try and take a page from your book next time out. Show some creativity. We'll see how it goes.

I finished my vocals early. Fact is, they are never done, but I have to stop at some point. Now working soley on the BIAB guitar parts. But, I do want to close up some loose ends in my understanding since I plan on doing more of this in the future. I'll take us off line with a PM shortly. Your input was very helpful in this process, thanks for sharing with us all. Dan

Yes, that may well be so. I just flagged what appears to be odd. Addendum, the 'sequential' Download/Install did the downloads simultaneously, bu failed to do some of the installs. Interestinmgly in my next batch download it seems to be doing them sequentially as requested. Odd. I did use the big "download and install all" button both times.

Except that he gets too much wrong. Sorry but he does. Well, he simplifies things and glosses over details, but for a 10 minute video on the subject I think he packs a lot of mostly useful information into a small space. The speed of sound, for example, varies with air pressure and temperature, so his speeds are not 100% accurate. Similarly with A=440Hz ... conventional modern tuning, yes; historic tunings, no. I mentioned previously overtones vs harmonics. No cavitiy resonances. He skips past phase detail and comb filtering, which is a shame as it's relevant. But what does the average person doing their own mixing really want? Especially in a 10 minute video. There are much more in-depth works around if/when one needs to go deeper.

No need to apologize for another happy Power Pop tune, it is always an invitation to a great party  Excellent soundtrack music for a feel good movie, I can imagine wildly dancing teens. Those light and romantic lyrics just doubles the effect of timeless love stories, "You can’t buy this feeling/Peel myself off the ceiling/Cuz it’s all so revealing" clever and funny. And the bridge rhyming also made me smile Those new hard rock power pop RTs are like tailor-made for your music, great sounds and you have mixed them to perfection. Your elegant chord progression keeps the interest to the end. Enjoyed your vocals and those Beach Boys harmonies. If power pop ruled the world, it would be a much more pleasant place  Janne Thanks, Janne! I'd agree that the lyrics really make this one, and the music just had to find a way to let them shine. Not everyone's cup of tea, but yes, the world WOULD be a better place if only...

Andy, thank you for trying. While it might be useful to have the Preference options... From my experience repeated song loop creates more confusion than benefit - judging by previous / similar user posts. Let those who want the feature of forever looping - which is abnormal to any other audio program (some folks don't like word DAW around here), set it in Preferences. Chorus - same deal. To my understanding most users start with a style, and # of choruses (unfortunately) are embedded in the style file. RTFS-If I am not mistaken resets Preferences.

Thanks for all your help. I suppose with a 35+ year program that started out in DOS 5, and with so many features added on year after year, the programming must be very complicated. And that thankfully, there is back compatibility, it's pretty easy for something to break while updating. But I know that the wizards at PG Music are good at tracking down the bugs and eliminating them.

HI Scott, Looks like you are doing the same as us; going back and remixing old songs. Never heard this the first time you posted, so thanks for the repost! Excellent write, vocal, and your mix sounds great to me. Nice! Yep. Hopefully these remixes are better. My goal is to get them on the major steaming platforms. I have all the files either in Cakewalk Sonar or Studio One, but it is a bit daunting opening up one of those earlier projects and sorting out the what and the why. Thanks for the nice comments. So refreshing to hear good old bluegrass for a while. Well produced and I also like your singing.. Thank you! I may have mentioned in another post that I didn't intend this to be a bluegrass song, but when I started auditioning Real Tracks that's the direction the tune went. Hi, Scott. I love the backing track - chugging drums and dancing mandolin. That hooked me in, and then the vocal came in - clever write with a strong chorus. Subtle BGVs. I clicked the link to the original SoundClick song, but it doesn't seem to work anymore. Looks like I missed it the first time around. Excellent work! Thanks so much! This was one of the first songs I recorded after learning about BIAB. A few others were using SoundClick and so I did too but I've since moved on. Really appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment. Loved the groove in this tune. Really cool vocal and creative lyric. Lots of funny images. Super mix and production. Well done I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the spin and the kind remarks.

All A.I. does is gather and report a consensus from a large collection of data, so it's not at all surprising if what it gathers is sometimes a bit out of date. I do wonder how much that will get better or worse as it starts to learn from its and other A.I. output.

Thank you, Andrew! Wonderful to see you again! Very true about the base words and music as the foundation for a song and all else is the icing on the cake. You have a great sense of melody and you likely know what it's like to have a cracking original melody come to mind and, as you work on it, the more you realize it's a hit. Little River Band, eh? That's quite the compliment! John

Hey, WB, I looked up where Liv Clark resides a few years ago and I tried looking it up again. I just chanced on it...Redcar, next to Middlesbrough. Farther north than I had thought. I think she's in London now. Thank you, Scott! I'm happy you enjoyed it. I've been through Alberta once...majestic to the west and very beautiful along the plains. John

Hi Chay! As others have said, this builds nicely, and those lead guitar solos didn't grow tired. They reminded me a little of some of Mike Oldfield's guitar work around the time of 'Five miles out'. You've got a good chord base for the song, and that gives it a ton of musical variation. Loved it - and looking forward to your sung pieces with Lucy. Andrew

Hi Sol! The topic of 'rain' has inspired a few songs, hasn't it! I've been interstate on a holiday and apparently it bucketed down here in Adelaide while I was gone - missed it by *that* much! My mind immediately went to Boz Scaggs when playing your song. Love those BVs as well. Andrew
