Elastik 3 is very fun. Very advanced too. For 9 bucks, DrDan takes no risks, except the one of enjoying himself Yep: "a McDonald Sanwich with Coke"?

This is just a great song, Ron. The vocals are great, the mix and production, too, and it does make it as happy. My personal preference is to nearly always have an instrumental break some way into a song as it adds to the dynamics and can sometimes make the following vocals more potent, but that's just my bias. Thank you, Chay! I enjoy a good instrumental break, too. Long story short, the song I heard in my head did not need a solo so I did not put one in. Have since tried to imagine where/how a solo would serve the song better, but couldn't find it. Am sure there is one. Heck, the Beatles would fit solos into tight little songs that were 2:30 or so, so why can't I? Answer: Because I'm clearly not the Beatles. Ha! Glad you enjoyed the tune (sans solo)!

Well, that was a fun song, for sure. Playing live gigs can be tricky if you don't get regular breaks (especially if you're paid in pints of beer). Take a well-earned 5 and give yourselves a 10 out of 10.

I am so impressed with this track. I can't say that it's the best you've ever done (because I haven't heard them all!), but it is quite possibly the best song of yours I've heard so far. Lyrics: tick Band: tick Mix: tick Production: tick Vocals: tick (because even though they were synthetic, they were well chosen and carried the song well).

Upgraded to version 8 of Fender Studio Pro, easy-peezy and it seamlessly launched the project I was working on just like previous versions would. The GUI looks basically the same but one feature caught my eye. The metronome has been updated from a simple tick-tock time keeper to a full drum kit that can be instantly saved as a track which is smart enough to adjust it's tempo to what your project is set to. You can also specify it to play half-time, normal or double-time . . . pretty cool stuff! . Yes its nice and it can handle more complex signatures like 12/8 Where you have the option of how to count it. The Chord track has an Assistant that will statistically recommend next chords. It uses the same audio to MIDI libraries from Z-Plane that BIAB uses, but it is extremely straightforward and easy to use. The GUI, believe it or not, was almost completely redone with dozens and dozens of subtle changes to improve workflow. It has nice Fender modeled Amp Simulators for both Guitar and Bass.

Tonalic's It is a new paradigm. It's local (ARA or VST3), is not AI, loops or MIDI, but has full fidelity professionally recorded musicians playing along with your chord progression. Each bar blends with the next has smart or adjustable voice leading adjustable feel and can groove sync with the other musicians in the song, Built on Celemony’s DNA technology, it reacts like a real musician would — following your track instead of forcing you to follow it. It produces endless variations, human nuance, and one‑of‑a‑kind results. Sound familiar?

Izzy, Really enjoyed that. So organic. Good write. Nice use of BIAB. Nice guitar. Good (real) vocals and cool BGVs. The builds were really effective. Had a sorta Pete Seeger-ish-ness to it (the best of Pete) Keep 'em coming. Please. fj Hi Floyd For me organic means the warts 'n'all that makes music more interesting. Thank you for your nice comments! Izzy.

Hi Mario for me I find a lot of budgets just can't crank them unlike years ago. what happened to 8-inch woofers. Lol. Om They were downsized   My old Pioneer audiophile stereo speakers had a 16" woofer, a 10" mid range, and a small tweeter! They were a bear to move! They also were drastically downsized to much smaller speakers that sound just as good!

The OP was looking for someone to disagree and when I made a small joke about the booze and trucker hats, he immediately unloaded with both barrels dumping on me for things I neither said nor implied. The first person who disagreed was going to get that exact blast—if you don't understand that, read it again. Knowing that his response was pre-planned, I then fired back in return. .... He wanted the fight, I gave him the opportunity to get whatever nonsense he had bottled up out and he did. None of this is actually true. Wild assumptions based on some preconceived notion. Your "joke" did not sound like a joke to me. It sounded like an insult. I merely asked who the insult was aimed at. You could have replied by saying "I did not intend to insult anyone". You chose to do otherwise...

“So long, Rusty at my side for so long. She don’t care, as to where, she’s got her bone. Ain’t nothing better than bombing along red dirt roads. With your best friend at your side. She’s not trying to catch you out. She’s just a ….. along for the ride.” We have hundreds of miles of red dirt roads in our area and frequently bicycle sections of them. And we've spent plenty of miles in a pickup on them. All meaning this tune is very relatable. Your vocals sound good for a 64 year old. Hey, just kidding they are fine - Janice is 68. ) Great band and regarding your BiaB thoughts … well RTs and RDs are played in a studio by humans - often famous ones. To us, FWIW, BiaB’s magic to make it fit your song doesn’t strip out the humanity.  You did good work with the soloists too. And, man, those video clips were so supportive of the song. Well done! J&B PS Comments based on reading both posts and listening to both.

You know that we love the topic of your song and your production for both the song and the video are excellent. With the vocalists you chose the choruses and bridge sound magestic. Once again you’ve assembled an interesting and enjoyable band too. The wollimi pine documentary is fascinating and reminds us of what a brief time we are here. The cassoweries were amazing and the doc did a good job of showing our connectedness. On that note (pun intended) we’re going for a hike in the woods! Well done and we enjoyed it all! J&B

I certainly don't have the pitch detecting skills that this muscian has. And if I think about it, maybe having such skills is a curse because everywhere you go you probably hear music out of pitch. I'm guessing that would be annoying. In high school I knew a fellow musician with perfect pitch. He told me he hated it! He said anything that was off in a band, chorus, or music in general drove him up a wall. He went on to college and we lost touch.

We’re sorry about the loss of your friend and we hope the songs you made together comfort you. He lives on in those songs and your memories of your friendship and collaborations are surely treasures as they are to listeners. We especially enjoyed “May God’s Blessings Rest on You.” Thank you for sharing. J&B

Feels like walking in deep snow, the sound of your guitar is like the northern wind on a cold winter day. Some discords make this quite an interesting experience. Great dual guitar painting, and acoustic/electric BIAB guitars work well together. The song lives up to its title. Enjoyable blues journey. Janne
