I'm not normally into happy tunes but this is very well done, DC. Your vocal certainly sound real and sincere. Herman's Hermits would have loved this. Vic

I have a BiaB 2019 running in VirtualBox, win7 guest on Ubuntu. Works fine. Thanks for letting us know! So from your experience do all BIAB features work seamlessly and there is no lagging etc.?

Hi Dave. Great beat with Marty pumping along with the drums and Chris's vocal fits perfectly. Nicely done. Vic

Hullo Hans. I don't think remember hearing the previous version, but this is a very interesting one in it's chord structure and arrangement. I am a fan of natural sounds, so not keen on vocal layering but that's just my own preference. Overall, I like this. Well done. Vic

No, but that's a good idea. If you use google, bing, startpage, and others you can search for a particular title by entering site:nortonmusic.com and the name of the song in quotes. Example, if you are looking for the song Summer Nights use site:nortonmusic.com "Summer Nights" Note: if you have ad blockers, this might not work unless you disable them. A comprehensive title index looks like that will take a lot of time, and it's our short gigging season, so it's something I'm planning for summer, when the work is slow. Thanks for the tip. Notes ♫

Thank you Marty for your kind review. Stupid question, what is Mushroom Coffee? Yeah, that's what I thought too, Lee. Shrooms in coffee. Yuck, I'd rather have the coffee on the side.  Nope, if ya get a chance, try some. Great taste AND it has a lot in it that's good for ya besides the coffee.

Sorry I didn’t see the Mitty you are correct it should have been midi Due to my vision issue, I quite often use dictation and unfortunately miss some things. I wish I saw. But the idea is if you’re not using general Miiddy what are some suggestions for general use but good sounding midi libraries

Noel, this is an outstanding masterpiece. A fantastic love song. Yes happiness is green, especially when walking through nature's wonderland. The banjo and fiddle were pleasant surprises. Super AI vocal but the lyrics took it over the top for me. Loved it Hi Mario. It's always great to see you. Thank you for visiting and giving my song a listen. I appreciate it. I appreciate your comments, too All the best! --Noel

Go with a classic flamenco progression in C: C - G/B - Am - G - F - G - C. Leave the bass strings open and lean hard on the rasgueados and arpeggios. That’s the secret sauce. You got this, man.

Like the lyrics with the melody. Ha, that is definitely the mark of a good song. I also like your vocals, and your choice of backing track fits so well. So this all started in BiaB with the style and you developed it from there. Interesting MIDI. Did you try any of the RTs? Hi Marty. I included my old favourite Gypsy Fiddle RT but generally prefer the midi in that style because it's easier for me to manipulate than RTs. Also, if you have some solid instrument plugins the sound is often better, at least to my ears. Appreciate the comments. Mick

I have tinkered with Suno, and the LyricsLab from our own Joanne Cooper. I can create a very nice sounding set of lyrics and turn that into very nice song in about 3 minutes. I can type in ideas, and even personal lyrics and have the software "refine" them and go from there. The thing i noticed is that the lyrics are kind of typical, or consistent. I get the same type of rhyming the same type of phrasing. I can choose to not have it repair it and stick with my lyrics. The music tends to all sound similar, no not the exact same you can vary the instructions or prompts but it is going to sing the song very close each time. I also noticed that there is only so much you can do to make it unique. I look at it this way, use the tools as you use all tools to help you work out an idea and work it into a song. I see it getting better but never replacing personal creativity where our feeling live! I have created a dozen lyric file in AI but i always start with my thoughts and then go back and rework it to reflect me. I use BiaB the same way i create what i cannot play. Play what i can, and work hard to get my feelngs into the project.
