Hi Marty, I was convinced I'd left a comment on your song on YouTube! A week ago, I think, Marijke and I were watching your video and laughing out loud at your band(s) who don't make a cent from their music. Just like me... But just now I saw—to my surprise—that I hadn't left a comment on this funny video and the amazing song! I can imagine you won't want to talk to me if I do this again... But as I said (and if you read between the lines), Marijke (that's my wife, for the others here) and I enjoyed the song, the show, and the empty bottle. It reminded me of Stefan Nachtsheim and how he makes his great, funny videos! (For those who don't remember him: he was a member of this forum for years with his fantastic videos. Just look him up online.) You could be his friend now, oh, you already are. You've been in a few of his videos... And to continue: not only did we enjoy the song, but we were also amazed at how quickly you jumped from side to side with your powerful bass. At your age...! Great song, Marty! Hans

I felt that mix could have been made smoother by evening out the various stems' volumes. Thanks for the evaluation. I'll be sure to employ the smoothing iron next time.

Dan, Thanks for the demo. You did a nice job of explaining your process for how Tonality can be used as a Band-in-a-Box plugin. How does it feel to be the first to use this product in Band-in-a-Box? 😁 You're going where "no person has gone before". As you become more familiar with Tonality it will be interesting to see what surprises the deeper dives brings forth. Jeff, great question you asked. RustySpoon#, thanks for the video that shows how to block-drag chords. That is a powerful Band-in-a-Box feature. I have the feeling not many users are aware of. This would make a nice post in the Tips & Tricks forum section.

Oh, man, Hans. This is one of the funnest (though not the funniest) songs I've heard you develop. It grew into the special sound you created here. What an excellent mix. You know how I like your vocal. Could it be a bit louder on htis one? Hey, if you build that rocket, please make it big enough for all of us. Violin with an Irish lilt. Yeah, that fuels the rocket nicely.

This is my first visit to the User Showcase in a while and my first song to listen to. It's quite impressive. Overall everything is glued together in the mix, good lyrics and an admiral vocal and background production. I like your first resolution and the fact you relied on the power of the Style unmodified. Enjoyed my listen. Charlie

Ya know what would be cool, Donny? Have someone video you busking. I like this Reggae feel. Your voice cracked? Ha, I write that off as feeling, man. Yep, you sound tired, and it's ironic that the song is called Spunky...

Imagine how empty Happiness would be without a dose of Sadness. This is such a good write, Sol, and a fine production to present it. I like how the chorus seems to bring in a group from "the other side" to emphasis your intent. Man, that chorus is strong. Excellent song of the happiness so many friends have brought to your life stated through the sadness of your loss.

"Love is easier the second time around." Excellent choice on the accompanying band. Your vocal always hits the spot with feeling and conviction. The perfect mix lets everyone sit so well in this. Man, this is my second time around --I got the YT notice yesterday. Very good write and production, Pete.

Absolutely beautiful, Bob. Poignant and poetic. Love your vocals under Joliz's vocal pads. It's such a warm, visceral combination. Super arrangement, and the mix is as clear as a bell. Great playing, too! I sometimes wonder whether Collings guitars get played often enough or well enough, but not with you. Super tune!

<< ... How to add a new track to a song... >> A convenient way to add tracks from any view in 2026 or recent prior versions of BIAB is from the MultiPicker Library. There's a drop down list of all the tracks regardless of the current view, Tracks, ACW, Chords, etc

Good morning Danny. I hope you're doing well. If the attached screenshot is the Favorite Songs Folder you want to open when you're playing live, there is a convenient way to open it in 2026 or even prior versions available. You can test if it's a suitable workaround method in your 2025 version. Type ss2 into any bar on the Chord Sheet and enter - This opens the Favorite Songs List shown in the screenshot below. This is non-destructive and has no effect on the loaded, current SGU file, it's simply a shortcut to open that dialog window.

I am confident that having no headphone output except at 48k causes the conflict I think so too. Do you have the latest M4 drivers? Just asking, not suggesting you get those. Do you have any MOTU drivers installed, or are you using system drivers? If you do have them, are they recent? You mentioned a new computer, so ...

Got in for a dollar. A dollar thirty Canadian lol. It's pretty easy to use, and you can just duplicate parts on your timeline. If you zoom the timeline out you can do micro beats and chords. With guitar it's pretty extensive, rhythm chords, lines, arps, and other stuff. Pretty cool how you can just do anything on the timeline and it will adapt. Even different loops with different amp configs on the same track. So I was just adding some lines to a song that I've worked on a lot. So when I get the Essential I'll compare to the version I just bought and see what I really need. Maybe they'll add a DI option at a later date. Haven't really played with the effects yet so maybe you can just turn them all off.

I do agree with you as well on them points Charles. As a long time user of BIAB they have had quite a bit of lead way in this field. I have no doubt Celemony is a very capable of producing top notch software as I have also been a user of Melodyne for many years. There are not very many DAWS left out there that has not adapted ARA into their program. I am still waiting for my essential license to try this limited version but I am in no hurry at this point since there is plenty still to play with since my latest software upgrades with BIAB and other stuff.

I think you may get the award for the longest song introduction.  I don't mind the synth vocals. I think it would be to cumbersome for me to put them together. It's easier for me to make 10+ vocal takes until I get it halfway right. Beautiful melody and arrangement. Yes, there is some 70s flavor but the sound is a style of its own.

Nice work with the instrumentation, especially that piano. Your lyrics are really good, especially the chorus. Speaking of the chorus, it has a theatrical sound to it. The wind instrument (dizi flute?) sounded cool.

Hi Lee. I really enjoyed listening to this. As you sang, images of those road trains that we have in the long-haul desert regions of Australia kept appearing in my mind. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32196&filename=road train.jpg) What began as an exercise turned into an excellent song. --Noel

Alt+Tab is good. Also remember Alt+F4 which closes windows one at a time. This is useful when you can’t figure out which window has you stuck.
