Re: Summer On The Molstad Farm Janice & Bud 57 minutes ago Forum: User Showcase
“I often wonder if they knew how much it meant All the trust they placed in me, all those lessons learned” The above lines are so relatable. Bud also has similar memories and Janice has heard him and her brothers reminiscing about the same. This is a winning package full of excellent visuals in the lyric, great vocals, band and arrangement. The piano accompaniment with the vocal after the first chorus shows just how well the “less is more” adds to the contemplative feel of those lines. Loved it! J&B PS We posted a song about a barn recently. It’s so cool to hear another farm narrative here. They are rare.

Gee, David...THANKS much! Your support means a lot. As I wrap up replies on this one, it appears it will be the least listened to song we've ever posted. Sigh. Funny how things work out sometimes...

Steve, I'm going to give a too-easy-to-be-true suggestion: Open the Piano Roll in BiaB. That's where you can build a MIDI track note by note.

This song has an experimental and dreamy quality with its use of echo on the vocals. It straddles the line between dream and reality. Well done. Laurent

And what a treat to read all that from a fine blues man. Thanks for all and extra thanks for mentioning the lyric. Bud had serious doubts about it despite encouragement from Janice. 😀 Love the description of Peter! J&B

There's a lot of tension in this, even from the intro. Assuming that was your aim, bullseye. It's a good write, mix, and production with everything sitting where it should.

Re: Audio Recording / Playback Question justanoldmuso 8 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows
Sawmill. heres an alternative for you. bb is great for fast track generation but realband is superior by a long shot when it comes to audio and midi handling and editing. import your bb song into rb and then you have 255 tracks to record on plus features like odd time sig handling and numerous other features. (see the rb manual and my tips on these forums.) remember you can also drag tracks from bb into rb... easy peasy. see various of my many tips in pg tips forum including how to do things like drum solos. lots more info in the rb forum also. hth. om

Great listening and watching. Andrew
Thanks, Andrew. HAHA. so glad you saw that. I always like the wonkiness of Ai. That moonwalk is so much harder than all those guys in the 30s ever tried. This guy's illusion is not just going backwards while appearing to walk forward, he manages to move sideways while keeping his toes and heels straight. Yeah, i didn't even try it.

Super mix. When my brother writes a lyric like this, his spouse will often ask who it's about. "I just made it up" is met with a dubious glare... Glad I don't write lyrics. smile
Thanks, Ron. Those video characters surely helped pull out the cute factor. Tell R.W. i know what he means. In my case, if i only write about my life, songs would be quite boring.

Thanks, David. Appreciate you and the encouragement.

Thanks, Mario. She's getting quite a collection of stalker songs.
