Hi Dave & Chris, I enjoyed your funky tune! The vocals and guitars sounded great, and so did the drums and organ. Great write, and the mixing and mastering was superb! Bob

Hough and Frank R. Adams. The song was published in 1909 and was first introduced in the 1909 musical The Prince of To-Night when it was performed by Henry Woodruff. Early popular recordings were by Henry Burr (1909), Billy Murray (1910) and Manuel Romain (1910). In 1947 it was used as the title song of a movie about Joseph E. Howard, leading to renewed popularity for the song. An instrumental version is played in the background as Malloy and Reed cruise the parking lot of the Domino bar in 'Routine Patrol: The Drug Store Cowboys'. In my western swing swing version I sing and play plectrum banjo and guitars. I produced this at my home with Band in a Box and Reaper. ****** Song Summary ************* Key=Eb , Tempo 130, Length (m:s)=3:10 Style is _CSWINGA.STY (Country Swing w/ Acoustic Guitar) RealTracks used: RealTracks in style: ~539:Bass, Electric, Pop Sw 120 RealTracks in style: ~370:Pedal Steel, Background Hank Sw 120 RealTracks in song: 1871:Fiddle, Soloist WesternSwingAndy Sw 165 RealTracks in song: 1115:Fiddle, Background CountrySwingChops Sw 140 RealTracks in song: 1673:Pedal Steel, Soloist WesternSwingPaul Sw 165 (Bluesy) RealTracks in song: 1862:Mandolin, Soloist WesternSwingAndy Sw 165 RealDrums in style:NashvilleSwing8^5-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare, HiHat

I have my chord chart in a "ChordMark) format. This chord text format is described here: https://chordmark.netlify.app/docs/getting-started I need to convert this to BIAB chord format text. (described on page 104/408 in the manual). I can only admit I have some level of cognative decline with age. I can not do this conversion manually and chatGPT has been a total failure in achieving this. Here is the ChordMark formatted text. Can some one convert for me and then if possible show me an automated way to do this in the future. I will be forever grateful. key Cm 4/4 #C NC.Cm. NC.. Ab.. Bbsus4.

Here's an interesting video on the use of Tonalic for adding tonalics to an existing musical idea (piano audio and its chord track).

Man, what a night that musta been when you taught yourself guitar. And man listen to you now. Hey, I always like the noodling too. Yes, I hear the song structure, and can even hear your lyrics over the melody. Hard-hitting sounds and I had to hit it a couple times --so far. Thanks much for letting us download them, Floyd. Everything is perfection. Some excellent technique going on in there. I'm guessing you bought that guitar off Exit 19. You've made it much more valuable. Much appreciated, Marty.... Excellent, Floyd. An instrumental solo with a melody is almost impossible to get with a BIAB track. Great stuff. Vic Thanks, Vic...

Shigeki’s review says it all. And his compliments are based so much on knowledge of masterful arrangements. We love this musically and the images it conjures up for us. We often visit a pollinator park to watch butterflies. (we even shot a vid there  ) Your performances, the great arrangement and mix were much enjoyed by us. This is more than worthy of a film track.

We felt they were both excellent. The BiaB demo is strong enough to stand on its own. It must be a real treat for your live players to have that demo to start with. The live version is superbly textured and the strings really lift it. GREAT vocals and mixes! J&B

Janice & Bud, Many thanks from both of us. We appreciate the support! I use Adobe Firefly and iMovie for a lot of pre-production stuff. It then gets finished in Final Cut Pro. Thanks again! Bob

The way AI pronounced experts was odd and put me off for a moment of three. I like the whole package but the weakest point for me is the generic indie female vocal...that's okay though it's certainly a vocal in keeping with the times. Are those synthetic mouth noises and clicks around the vocal? I'd be inclined to tidy those evn though they add to the impression of humanity. Very cool lyric. Thanks for listening and your sharp ears, Ray ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) To me (as a non-native speaker), it sounded fine until you mentioned it, but I have to agree that it could be better. The mouth noises were deliberately left in because the voice loses its humanity and (more important) innocence when it's edited (as I usually do) to sound perfect. But I highly appreciate your valid objection!

It seems to work fine for me. When I imported the midi to the melody track it seems to come in as default as a piano track (not a guitar track). So it shows the fret board with piano notation below. It plays ok and shows and follows the notes both on the fretboard and in the notation ok. But if I want to see it in "guitar notation and guitar tab" I had to set the "track type" for the imported midi to "guitar". It is the "tool icon/gear icon" on the row underneath the fret board far right. It is the first option in the list.

My pop brother from another mother does it again. I think we're the only ones who openly admit to writing pop music. On purpose. For me, all boxes are checked: ✅Pop ✅Guitars ✅Wide panned ✅Skillfully arranged and mixed So of course this song is right up my alley. And unlike TuneMonger, I LOVE the sequence of rhymes ending in "-ing". I think "You can’t buy this feeling / Peel myself off the ceiling / Cuz it’s all so revealing" is extremely cool More please Thanks, B.D.! Yeah, the power pop genre is a lot of fun for me. I give in to the call as often as I can. Not to everyone's taste though, so happy to have a brother in arms! Glad you enjoyed the "ings"--I did, too!

Thanks, Noel. You're ever so kind, always ... but just one thing: you DO write absolutely INCREDIBLE lyrics, yourself. It's one of the first things I notice about your songs, when I first listen to them ... absolutely beautiful lyrics, wrapped up in absolutely wonderful music. So please know that I'm glad you think that I did the right thing, in posting this song on this forum. I wouldn't have really done it, to be honest - but, in the end, I said: ok, I will post this one, even if it turns out to be an exception to the rule Thanks for the kind welcome, with it! God bless you for taking the time to listen, and to write such a lovely, lovely review and comment!

I had problems with lagging - midi against audio - using a midi output like microsoft gs wavetable synth or virtual midi synth. I could adjust latency but it run out of sync after a time anyway. But Dxi synths don't have these problems, they run out of the box without adjusting the latency. Only the built-in soundfontplayer VSTSynthFont64 (from BiaB 2019) is buggy and BiaB was unstable with it. I solved this getting a new version from here: synthfont.com. I use BiaB in Virtualbox for a week now and don't have problems to report up to now.

It appears that I can still use Notion 6 on my Mac except that it can't use 64 bit plugins and VIs... that doesn't fly. Ok... There's a "free" Fender Notion 7 upgrade in the App Store that will open my .notion files but wait—it can't be installed on my Mac ?!?!/!? On further poking around, this will only run on my iPad as a sidecar to my Mac. Oh hell no. I do have Notion for iPad and that upgrade was free last month but I'm not using it as a sidecar app. I hadn't fired up the desktop version in a couple years, my client who needed me to have Notion upgraded his copy of Sibelius so that need is gone. Yes, I can open these files in Studio Pro but I have no need for yet anther DAW. I never created new work in N5/6 anyway so farewell to yet another notation app that has outlived its usefulness.
