Just Another Weekend John Walradt 43 minutes ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
https://www.johnwalradt.com/music/songs/Just_Another_Weekend_master_2023-07-17.mp3 My songs are like a travelogue of my life. In this song, I was living in Denver in the early 1990s in my 30s and still trying unsuccessfully to get a girlfriend. I started writing the song. The group I was in was too embarrassed to play the song and made fun of it, especially the lines "I want to go where the lovers go, I want to do what they do." Fast forward to 2023, I decided to finish the song and I was shy about sharing it. Ironically, when I released it on Broadjam, it quickly became my third #1 Earth song, and stayed there for two weeks. All the instruments on "Just Another Weekend" are Band in a Box except for a very small piano part I did on midi: Style is _DIARY.STY (Diary Emotive Modern Sync Pop) RealTracks in style: ~~2579:Bass, Synth, RnBModernSub Ev16 065 Loop in Song: Dubstep\Dubstep - yasso_70_drum_loop_1_a_minor ev16.wav RealTracks in style: 3670:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm NewAgeHalfNoteChords Ev 085 RealTracks in style: 3708:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm 90sAcRock16ths Ev16 090 Loop in Song: Chillout\Chillout - air_74_ conga_e_minor ev16.wav RealTracks in song: ~~362:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085 RealTracks in song: 1947:Mandolin, Rhythm PopModernGrooveAndy Ev16 075 Sofi Berro, a vocalist from Argentina on Fiverr did the vocals. I used Studio One 6 for mixing. I have version 7 now. I sometimes use it for mastering or I use the Lurssen Console. JUST ANOTHER WEEKEND Words and music by John Walradt Out on the street People rush or they greet There is paper upon the sidewalk I'm lookin' out the window and the world's looking back at me. There's groceries to get And laundry to do I'll wander inside a bookstore It's just another weekend, just another weekend for me. I want to go where the lovers go I want to do what they do I don't want to live my life alone Oh, when will my dreams come true? Don't need a list, I'll find what I need I stroll through a maze of aisles A couple holding hands Oh, when will that happen to me? Ah-ah, ah-ah Wait at the checkstand Gaze at the time And hurry to send a package It's just another weekend, just another weekend for me. I want to go where the lovers go I want to do what they do Walk through the trees over scattered leaves Oh, when will my dreams come true? I want to go where the lovers go I want to do what they do I don't want to live my life alone Oh, when will my dreams come true? The moon is a crescent I'll drive to the dance Inside of an old school building Love is for sale The cashier hands a ticket to me, ah-ah, ah Those eyes that I see Are looking at me Or is it just wishful thinking It's just another weekend, just another weekend for me Just another weekend for me, just another weekend for me.

Hi Dave and Chris! Three good things I like about this song … Chris’s vocals weaving with Dave’s licks, and great style choice - the latter reminding me of the vibe on Smash Mouth’s Astro Lounge album. This mix sounds great as well - I think that makes it four! Enjoyed listening. Andrew

Does Reaper 2026 plugin allow chords for imported BIAB song to move in the Reaper Chords Window BluegrassPicker 1 hour ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box VST and Pro Tools/AAX DAW Plugin (Windows) Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I'm new to the Reaper plugin and now have some time to work with it. I have BIAB 2026 songs that were created and generated in BIAB and I loaded them into the Reaper plugin. I then generated the songs in Reaper and then moved them to the DAW. When playing the songs, the Reaper plugin chords do not move in the FX Track window. Is that normal, no chord movement unless the song is completely constructed in the Reaper DAW with the BIAB plug in? If it's normal, then knowing that will save me hours of time trying to fix what's normal. Thanks

Understanding RealTrack Generation & Duplication: It works different than a DAW Charlie Fogle 2 hours ago Forum: Post your own Tips and Tricks here Jump to new postsJump to new posts
This tip grew out of several recent BIAB forum threads touching on wish list requests, DAW style workflows, and questions about why Band in a Box doesn’t duplicate tracks the way traditional DAWs do. Many of these discussions come from experienced users whose workflow focuses primarily on arranging, comping, and editing tracks after exporting them to a DAW rather than building complex, finished arrangements within BIAB itself. What often gets missed is that BIAB already provides powerful generation level tools that address many of these requests, but they work very differently from DAW post editing and may not be obvious when BIAB is approached with a DAW centric workflow. In BIAB, a RealTrack is a generated performance, not an existing audio clip. Before generation time, BIAB selects phrases from its RealTrack library and assembles them into a coherent musical performance based on the song structure, style, chords, and settings. BIAB generated tracks can represent RealTrack audio in ways that look similar to DAW tracks, which are audio. BIAB has advanced ways to copy generated audio under certain conditions, duplicating a DAW track, but the key distinction is that BIAB operates at the generation level before an actual audio file exists. The RealTracks Medley Maker works at this generation stage. It allows BIAB to duplicate the exact same RealTrack performance or generate variations of that performance, and to combine multiple RealTrack instruments into a single musical part. Because this happens before audio is finalized when rendered, BIAB can create multiple musically identical instruments that either play the exact same performance simultaneously or play different performances generated from the same musical intent. This functionality is already used throughout BIAB. Many factory created Styles include multiple RealTracks performing as a single musical part, either layering different instruments or using the same instrument more than once. These performances may be identical or subtly varied. In the RealTracks Picker, users can find Multi-Simultaneous RealTracks and Multi-Thickened RealTracks, which allow the same instrument to be used multiple times, or multiple instruments to be layered, either duplicating exact performances or generating variations, simultaneously or sequentially. The RealTrack Medley Maker tool is available individually on each of the 24 Mixer Tracks. DAWs can achieve similar musical results, but doing so typically requires generating and exporting multiple tracks from BIAB, importing them into a DAW, and then manually comping, editing, arranging, and adding fades, crossfades, and transitions across multiple tracks and tools. While this approach is powerful, it is more time-intensive and depends on additional software and workflow knowledge. A RealTracks Medley can produce the same musical outcome within BIAB in a single generation and render. Because RealTracks are generated performances, BIAB doesn’t duplicate tracks the way DAWs do. But, BIAB supports exact duplication and regenerated variation via the RealTracks Medley Maker, as well as through factory Styles and multi-instrument RealTracks in the RealTracks Picker. The real opportunity isn’t missing functionality, but improving discoverability and DAW-style access to BIAB’s existing generation-level duplication tools that's requested in the Wish list forum. To recap. BIAB duplicates and varies RealTracks at the generation level, not by copying existing audio (although it can do this). This allows BIAB to create musically identical or varied performances in a single render. Results that DAWs only achieve through exporting multiple tracks and doing extensive post-editing. Users can see a PGM created Multi-Simultaneous RealTrack used in a User Showcase original song post, "Money in the Bottle" by BabuMusic which uses RT-4395 added as an additional instrument to the Style.

Thanx so much Hans for this wonder review. Yes it was a challenge, especially since it was the first time I ever tried something like this. I'm glad you liked it.

Music listening, performance and composition engage nearly every area of the brain that we have identified, and involve nearly every neural subsystem.
Before Covid hit I played music for people in a dementia memory unit at a nursing home every Monday for over a year. I was totally amazed at what music did for these folks. They would even remember some words to the songs like "You Are My Sunshine" and others and sing along. I spoke to a High School Band Teacher and discussed what I had been witnessing with these folks. He told me there has been a lot of studies of the brain and music therapy. He said music is embedded in our brains from a very early age and is one of the last things the brain remembers. I was thinking stuff like twinkle little star and so on. It is very interesting indeed. Brian

Hi, Mario. I recognized you from my post of "Stay Here Now," too. As I apologized in previous posts, I mistakenly thought this website group was defunct last fall but that was probably a few errors I made in trying to access it. I got posts from the early 2000s and nothing recent, so I forgot about it. Then last night, I chanced on it to see several people responded. Thank you for your comments! The guitar chops come from Bob Bentley, a good friend in the UK. The funny thing is that Band in a Box was despised by the purists on Broadjam but now I see a lot of members on there are using AI! I'm not a fan of AI as it charges into copyright issues big time whereas a software like Band in a Box is royalty free and its use depends on our originality. John

Hi Floyd, Laurent, Rob, David C, Andrew and Chay, Thank you all for your very nice comments on the "Rocketsong" (It's easier to call it this way than using the original title everytime. Like Floyd did). I was a bit afraid some of you would get goosebombs from that crazy violist, but no one did! That's what I like! I will go in the deep on all your individual posts, ok?

You always have thought provoking ideas and/or questions in your lyrics. I like that, too. Good use of BIAB. Both the baritone guitar and the fiddle make this a unique experience. Enjoyed the listen. fj
Hi Floyd, when I found a promising melody while puzzling, I naturally had to come up with something similar for the vocals. That turned out to be trickier than I thought; you have a melody, but you don't know how to sing it. Sound familiar? To practice, I quickly wrote down a few sentences. Something about space. And then I found the vocal line! I kept the lyrics (well, I wrote them in better English). I could even make a statement with them. So that was a win-win situation! Thanks for recognizing this!

Hello Rob, if you'd read my answer to Laurent, then you know now how there are so may rocketsongs. Most have lead to eternity... Thanks a lot for your nice compliments, not only on this song, but my other songs too!

Hi David, initially, the violins weren't in the song. There were other instruments and drums in it too. I let Marty listen to it, and even though he normally loves my songs, he said, "I'm sure this song will end very differently. And the drums are distracting." That's when I knew I was on the wrong track with the song. So I changed everything to what it is now, except for the violins. I woke up in the middle of the night and thought, "Violins, I want those in!" I did, and I laughed. They cheered me up! And that's how the song became what it is today. And I hope it cheers you up too, David!

In one sense, this is why many people are migrating to Australia to be a world away from perceived troubles - the tyranny of distance has worked in our favour in the past, but not so sure moving ahead. This is all to say the subject of your song would be very relatable to many. Good work - it’s different but I like it! Andrew
Hi Andrew, thanks for your comment on the song. If you read what I wrote to Laurent above, you'll see that I had the same thoughts as you when I wrote the song. And I'm glad you like it!

Hi Chay, I'm so sorry I didn't consider your needs when I created the song. I guess I just wanted to get it done as quickly as possible. It's really cold up there! But I have a solution for you. You can press a button called "repeat," and man... I bet you'll stop it yourself after about two hours. Thanks for your message! Thanks everyone and continue making music after reading! Hans

Hi, P. Thank you very much! It was much fun. A backing guitar track and drums were Band in a Box. Bob Bentley did lead guitar and piano. We found a vocalist on FiveRR who we argued about the melody with (he arrogantly called himself a Nashville Row songwriter...well, whoopdee-ding-dang-doo!) so I fixed a small part of his vocal in Melodyne to keep our original melody. I see it's pretty darned cold in Florida right now. That's wild!

And introduces a bunch of other issues, like the treble and bass no longer aligning over Middle C. Changing scientific naming because he doesn't like it, isn't really a compelling reason. Multiple dots for repeats? His argument for not using numbers on top for repeats is that it's "ambiguous", and then he proposes... putting the number in the repeat symbol instead, which has exactly the same issue. Figured bass isn't "ultimately very confusing". Roman numerals are used for analysis, not for actual playing. Notation like "F/A" works just fine for playing. Same thing with his issue with Roman numerals and minor scales. Time signatures are only a problem... when they aren't notated? So let's just get rid of the bottom number? And his "reform" for compound time can literally be done using standard notation.
I was going to respond with virtually everything that David had already posted. Thus I completely agree with him.
