Wonderful vocal --no wonder about that. I really like this composition. Great way to start it off with that fine trumpet --and a fine solo too. Thank you. I liked the fact that I didn't have to play any guitar on it. Sometimes it's nice to just let band in a box do what it does.

Hi, Ray. Blundertown has a cool vibe and sounds like it's shaping up nicely. Really like the bass on this one. Also like the melody of the scratch vocals and the lyrics I can make out. Assume the ending is a WIP as well. Psych B also has a cool vibe (ok, so I think you have a LOT of cool vibes). The opening blossoms nicely. That string pad provides a lot of glue. Very nice lead and rhythm guitars. Not hearing a lap steel, but might not be listening for how you're using it. Super arrangement. A grand, cinematic feel to my ears. That's a great ending. Thanks for sharing, you're doing some nifty stuff.

I have lived my life in Minnesota, where rain, ice, and snow are part of the territory. https://fredgrittner.bandcamp.com/track/november-rain November Rain End of November Sky caked in gray Thunder beats its drum Swaying bare tree Whispers to me Warning what’s to come Something in the air Guides me who knows where Instinct or a buried memory CHORUS: November Rain November Rain Water, ice and snow November Rain November Rain It’s half-past time to go Snowflakes swirl Rise and curl Ships on storm-tossed seas This wind-chilled skin Too pale too thin Won’t make it through the freeze Nothing can be said I sense what lies ahead Farewell to the ghosts of summertime CHORUS Feel it come falling Feel it come falling down Feel it come falling Feel it come falling down Southbound lightening Points out the path Time to soldier on Each round of good fortune Counts on warmth and light Up here it’s going or it’s gone Don’t look into my eyes Cruel truths and gentle lies The only words coming out of me CHORUS RealTracks in style: 1536:Bass, Electric, PopBelieve Ev16 065 RealTracks in style: 2542:Pedal Steel, Background ModernBalladAtmosphere Ev16 065 RealTracks in style: 1543:Synth Pad, PopBelieve Ev16 065 Loop in Song: Chillout/Chillout - lounge_85_fx_f_sharp_minor.wav RealTracks in song: 3904:Guitar, Baritone Electric, Rhythm CinematicMystery16ths Ev 085 RealDrums in song: NashvillePop16^4-a:SideStick, HiHat , b:Snare, Hihat

As Laurent said, Chris’s vocal is divine. She always makes us “feel” the lyric. We love the lyric and the slow burn blues vibe Smooth, smoky solo This is so good: “Over and Over I dive too Deep Turn Nothing to something I can't even keep” All three of you are “hittin’ the note” Cool video More please! J&B

Based on prior years, we'll know what's new when 2026 is released. So it's kind of like "What's under the tree?" on Christmas morning, if that's a relatable reference...

Late to the party but we throughly enjoyed this. Lyrics, vocals, all the instrumental tracks, the arrangement -- all sound great on the monitors. Nice open/airy mix with plenty of subtle dynamics. Well done and, yes, we are fans of the old way.  J&B

This is a delightful, happy groove all the way around. Lloyd’s enthusiastic vocal presents the lyric’s narrative perfectly The good BiaB session guys served you well. And it's all wrapped in a nice open mix. Good subtle dynamics too. Sounds great on our monitors. Excellent soundstage. Enjoyed it! J&B

Hi Tom! Ooo yeah. This song is smooth. I can hear what you mean about Mariana’s lyrics, and your music brings them to life! I agree with Ron about the strings and also wanted more of the song in length, but hey - great song! On a tangent, your first line in your post could easily be the opening sentence in a novel… ‘When Mariana Noble walked into our town's first "Songwriting Club" meeting in 1982 with a 3-ring binder of "lyrics without music" under her arm, I offered to collaborate with her.’ Andrew

Hi Christian! I like the rhythmic feel of the RTs you’ve chosen and it fits with what I see often - when the accompaniment is rhythmic, the vocals hold longer notes, or vice versa. I also like the chords chosen for the verses. Good song! Andrew

Hi Marty! This is a good funk band you’ve used here, and it plays well to your directions. Brass and horns work so well in rock, don’t they? I hope that with all the AI, the next generation learn the joys of creating and playing themselves. I have a son and son-in-law who are both talented guitarists and well ahead of me when it comes to production - one doing it professionally. Good song, and thanks for posting. Andrew Hi, Andrew. Thanks for your kind comment. My son also plays. Think he may have more instruments hanging on his wall than Floyd. Marty, Wow! This is excellent! Your vocal and delivery is outstanding. I absolutely love the arrangement on this song and the band is firing on all cylinders. The horn section was a killer choice. Loved it! Bob Thanks, Bob. Working with the horns was hard. Even after some important regeneration measures, getting the horns to lay acceptably in the mix was the next challenge. Play the funky music Marty! Great funk groove with the wah wah guitar and horns mixed perfectly. Super vocal and lyrics. Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be musicians  Loved it. Play Dat... Thanks, Mario. The wah was like another horn. Mamas have changed their tune a little it seems. Now they say "Wait until he/she/them/they is signed." All Lessons should be Musical! With homework. FUNKY guitars and Bass! Nice use of the BIAB horns. Nice vocals, professor. Good arrangement and mix. Joyful Dancin' in the street...and into the sunset... fj Thanks, Floyd. This one started from a bass riff (which partially explains all the 9s ), but the song wouldn't hear it, so some gears were shifted --but it still sneaks it in occasionally.

These arrived earlier today and are quite nice. Sound quality seems well above average at this price point, and I achieved a snug fit right out of the box (a rare thing for me). The noise cancelling is a cool bonus and a "wind" setting is available for those blustery fall days. So THANKS, Floyd! +1 for me. Interesting side note...The order placed through Floyd's link was fulfilled by Amazon. Now Amazon sells these, but at over 2X the price of this deal, so...huh. Not a complaint though.

Hi Hans! And thanks for your comments! Well, it's always been a little”problem” for me, these minor songs and major lyrics.. Or major songs and minor lyrics.. sorry my English… Here in Finland, there is a strong influence of Slavic song culture, which is melancholic. So very often my songs are a mix of melancholy and major-key singing….

Hi Ron! Those BVs in the middle are great! I like the choice of BIAB style as well. The acoustic guitars have a strum in the style of Eagle-Eye Cherry ‘Save tonight’ - great sounding! Loved it. Andrew Thanks, Andrew! Those guitars do play off each other in interesting ways, I like the way they turned out, too.

This aplies to both new and old MGU files. Firstly, welcome to the neighborhood. As articulated above, other users need more detail to be able to help. - what styles were used? - what steps were taken? - what was the result? - what was the expectation? - what were previous results? - can you explain the difference between 'new' and 'old' MGU files? It's just so difficult for us forum end-users to analyze and reproduce with no baseline to work form.
