Very nice to hear a story about simple things of life you are thankful for. And you sing so sincerely that I can feel the message strongly even across the ocean. The band sounds great and everything is mixed very well. Nice that it is totally made with BIAB, because it feels like a real band, shows what a great and credible tool BIAB has become. Janne Thanks for listening and commenting. I'm glad you like it.

You're good at these muti-layered soundscapes, Janne. The title was way out in the cosmos so the content was not what I expected. Top marks for imagination. Vic.

Superb. Grit, Janice's incredible voice(s  ) in a new musical context (is there any style she cannot sing?), and THAT guitar! Brilliant mix, excellent writing (musical and lyrics) ... what am I to say? You consistently do it again, and again, and again. Hats off to y'all. Thank you! J&B That was effin fantastic. Quite the delicious tune. I'd like a second helping. "Please, sir, I want some more." The doubling worked out well. Gritty, yes, gritty. All sounds good and that guitar sounds like it is alive. Glad the grit came through. Thanks for the nice comments! J&B

Wow, we love the title! A great setup for what is about to ensue. Firstly, we'd be thrilled if we could understand 10% of how you created this! How that oboe can sound so realistic after going through all those steps is remarkable. The mix filled every corner of our music room with its wonderful soundstage. Ron said, "Mario, always enjoy your symphonic soundscapes." And so do we! J&B

It’s a thoughtful lyric appropriate for any time of year. The melody is lovely and the piano is especially good. Enjoyed the John Lennon reference and won’t it be nice if peace ever really becomes more than a dream? Well done, J&B

What a revisit to the 70's! Disco spinning balls everywhere We were playing in bluegrass bands at the time ... quite a contrast! You did a great job of capturing the vibe with the tracks and mix. J&B

Hey, Mike. This is a pretty advanced composition, and it sounds fabulous All the uncredited instruments sound quite lovely, too. I can usually distinguish BiaB instruments from using them so much, but this sounds fresh and very un-BiaB-ish to me. Which is all better than fine. Excellent job here.

TM said it all: "Author and composer, you're a real Renaissance man, Chay! Liked the guitars in this a lot - held my interest. Can't wait to hear what you and Lucy will collaborate on, I'm sure it'll be epic." And Shigeki: "It's like a SF version of "The Magnificent Seven" with female warriors." Priceless! You are a master of the build and we enjoyed reading how it all came about. Your talent and patience are very, very impressive. The complexity of the production is overwhelming to us. Great arrangement, mix and that guitar is remarkable. Well done! J&B

Hey everyone, I recently came across the concept of [color:#000000]eggshell graffiti stickers[/color] and I’m really curious about them. Has anyone experimented with using these for street art or urban projects? I’m interested in understanding how durable they are, whether they stick well on different surfaces, and if they’re weather-resistant. Also, do they leave any residue when removed? I’d love to see examples of creative designs or tips on where to buy them safely. Any advice from experienced users would be super helpful before I try my first batch! thanks in advance for any help

I would like to see the F8 multi-riff feature to be available for Realdrums tracks. In particular this would give the ability to quickly cycle through several versions of 'pre-section change' drum fills to pick the best one for that part of the song. I'm not sure how different the drums realtracks are to other realtracks under the hood but, if this wasn't too difficult to implement, I think that it would be a really helpful enhancement. Many thanks Regards, Aubrey

It looks like PG have now implemented this change (from my lips to God's ears!  ). I'm not sure which build it was in but it is definitely working as requested in BIAB 2026 build 1224. Thanks very much for this quick turnaround - that's why I love this product! Regards, Aubrey

Hans, super song! Love your vocals/harmonies and the pulsing 3D stereo image. Cool, slithery harmonic and rhythmic arrangement. You've got those BiaB soloists tamed quite well, too. I'd say your post-throat surgery vocals are as strong as ever, and maybe STRONGER...

Another cool one, Andrew. Nice vocals and playing throughout. Especially ike your guitar fills/riffs. You made the right dynamic choice to add harmonies to the chorus. That's a wild bridge and it works perfectly. Craftily crafted and a fun listen...pop perfetion! I always read your description, mostly because I'm fascinated by musicians who have a coherent method. Something for me to emulate for sure.

Hans, I share your feelings to have other native language then English. It's so refreshing hear other languages here. I also tried to serve my originally songs written in Finnish with translation into English, but I end up lost in translation. Something missing in the rhythm, rhymes and the sound of the lyrics. I liked your song, but maybe you should once more remix it to get more clearity. I have a bad tendency to use too much reverberation and delay to sort of hide my weak vocals and same time giving it more power, but ending up to a muddy sound. I try to get rid of it and trust more to my natural clang of my voice.

Nice song. Maybe you should check the key to suite better to your vocal range. Now it sounds to be a bit to high. I like your arrangement, specially the strings, but maybe they are a bit too loud and covering your vocals.

Hi Ron, This is a perfect pop song: good, fun lyrics, a great band and an infectious beat. The mix and production are first class (I especially enjoyed the guitars panned left and right). MIke BTW I really enjoyed a comment you posted on Marty's "The Police of Mind": "I can remember when we could agree to disagree on most any topic. Now, it's all a grimly played game without a winner." Well said. It pretty much sums up where the world (or some parts of it) is at the moment. All the best, Mike

I don’t use AI in songwriting or recording/mixing. The closest I’ve come is asking Copilot to give me 5 lyric themes (then the full lyric writing is mine) and twice I think I have used Copilot to suggest some lines when I was running dry and needed another verse. In one song, I uploaded a 5 second vocal to Resing and got it to convert it to a female voice, but that’s it. I write all my own music and lyrics and do all my own production and arrangement, and BIAB can be anywhere from 10 to 100% of the band. Vocals are always my own. I’m not a great singer or guitarist, and I step out of my comfort zone regularly when recording these. I prefer the idea of the human behind the music and even if that human is flawed, I like the idea that an imperfect artist has created a song with their own imagination and with the tools and skills available to them. AI results (e.g. Suno) are certainly impressive, and I understand why it is attractive for a writer to hear what it has done with their song that they couldn’t, but for me, I place a higher value on what I can do myself, even if it might not seem as polished. Andrew

Hi Paul to meet and see you, That sounds clear and well mixed to me. A really fine song and loved your mellow vocals. Great work, kind regards. Hi K-Dub Ya, thank you. It's always encouraging to get positive feedback. People on this forum are really kind and generous. This song went through the mill mostly because the final master mix after mixdown never matched what I had in the DAW. I think it was down to the compression pulling out the reverb and making it stand out more than I wanted. In the end I turned down the reverb and it came out better so I stopped and went live, so to speak.
