Hi, Opur. Very dark and cool. Super vocals and backing vocal arrangement. Like the instrumental backing track a lot. The synth with the slow attack works really well to build the tension. Some good production notes in the posts above so I won't repeat them. Hard to place Covid songs in context with so many current global issues. We have a few Covid songs, but they'll likely stay in the vault... You have a really nice voice and ear for production, and I hope you'll post more.

A unique, impassioned voice in a troubled time. Never became a superstar, but left his mark...

Mario, always enjoy your symphonic soundscapes. On this one, that repeated descending voice provides a cool ethereal sheen and thematic glue to the arrangement. Can see from your description that there is a lot going on beneath the wavetops. But for the listener, it's smooth sailing all the way. Your compositional skills continue to amaze. Super mix, too. Well done!

Love this, Bob! Super song with superb vocals by the two of you. Love the drums driving that deliciously glooming backing track. Great use of BiaB instruments. That BiaB soloist worked out great for the fills and sounds like it was played especially for the song. Nicely arranged and mixed, too. Is there anything the two of you CAN'T do???

Scott, It's a beautiful guitar solo reminiscent of Hank Marvin. It doesn't feel like a practice piece at all. The video is also fantastic. Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Chay, This is cool movie music. It's like a SF version of "The Magnificent Seven" with female warriors. The electric guitar plays a wonderful role. The mix was produced without any problems and was very good. The video is, as always, fantastic. Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Thanks Mario and TuneMonger, This song is about the battle of egos! To get less effects on Suno AI, I always precise in my prompt: Soft voice with minimal effects

I think DrDan is pretty close to the money here. Definitely try RTFS and reset your audio driver etc then try again.

Was this style in an earlier version? If so, I could try reloading the 2005 version and see if it comes up with that, but I thought the new versions didn't delete earlier files, just added to them.. I ahev thought about completely reloading 2026 and seeing if they turn up. Arthur, I suggest that you use PG Music's Chat window to talk to someone directly at PG Music. It is possible that the Realtracks you are missing were not included in the MegaPak. (The MegaPak does not contain all the Realtracks.) The Chat Window can be accessed by clicking on the blue circular icon in the bottom right corner of your monitor. --Noel

B.D, Every aspect of it is amazing. Your playing skills on piano, guitar, bass, and drums. Your ability to get AI to sing. Your ability to write lyrics in English, which is not your native language. Your ability to create videos. And your ability to compose and arrange music. I'm impressed by everything about those. Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi I really appreciate your kind words, Shigeki Adachi! Now I'm blushing a little. Thanks a lot for your detailed comment. Makes my day

I stand by my first impression on YouTube: it's a very, very weird song. I have no idea how anyone could come up with such an idea. But: I like it. In all its glory. It's different, but in a very good way, with lots of cool ideas. Mix/production is pretty good, maybe the vocals could be a little louder in some places, as they are sometimes a little hard to understand. But still, I _really_ enjoyed my listen. Good work ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

I listened to your song again and I like it even more. Of course, I don't understand the subtle nuances in your lyrics because my Dutch isn't that good, but with the English translation it works for me. You've added some cool sound effects that make the song much more interesting and work well. I agree with TuneMonger, your new studio is really paying off, your mixes are getting better and better with every song. Enjoyed my listens PS: It's always good to obey Marty. There was once a guy who didn't. He was never found

Paul, what a great song Fantastic arrangement Loved the piano and your vocal Outstanding lyrics Your mix was perfect Loved it FYI - You probably know this already but Fender Studio Pro comes with the monophonic version of Melodyne. You must upgrade Melodyne if you want a polyphonic version.

Glad you managed to make this song without getting batoned by the police of mind, you are revealing hidden truths  Clever lyrics and they work on several levels, nice/horrifying images like lobotomy slice and clipping wings. Solid bass playing and Dave's guitar is painting the warning sign in front of us. "Don't let them take your will" is the best advice to keep in your mind every day. Stay away from algorithms (and go your own way)! Janne

Hello ROG, I appreciate the feedback. I worked through your test procedure and we are having the same issues. The only difference I see in our results is that, for me, if I edit a displayed note and change the duration (without cancelling and reselecting the note) the note moves to the displayed bar as opposed to disappearing. Since we have both reported it, I will put my faith in PG Music that it is being considered. Hopefully, feedback soon. Thanks.

Hi Dave, Chris and Marty, I heard your funky track on YouTube a few days ago. I commented then too. I thought it was a great song with really good vocals from Chris; even a double Chris! And I still think this way ;-) I can't remember ever hearing a funky track from you before. But as you said, this is a remix, so I should have heard it, I guess. But most importantly, I really enjoyed it, just like everyone else above! Just like you, I'm also busy remixing or even rewriting older songs. Especially because the mixes weren't that great. So soon all the songs on the forum will be ours. What do you think? Hans
