Even though it's not my favorite genre, it's a really good song. I especially like how you create the contrast between the upbeat music and the sad, depressing message. Très bien [Linked Image]

BY. You can interface a USB device to an external PA system you just have to set it up correctly. Why did you think this wasn't possible?? Some USB devices have multiple outs. OM.

Thanx Andrew. I have been experimenting with my string sections so I am glad you noticed them.

Re: Coyote Forte DXI DrDan 1 hour ago Forum: Beginners Forum
Let me say this.... learning and understanding and applying midi synth sounds in BIAB midi was one of the most significant things I learned. I highly recomend you make this a priority. It is not complicated and confusing once you figure it out and the rewards that follow are well worth the time and effort. Will this make a difference, hell yes! We are talking about the sound quality of what you are listening to. Midi can sound like a pipe-organ at the circus or it can sound like a lush and vibrant piano. If you have installed the SythnFont 64, you now need to set it as your Default Synth in BIAB. [OPTIONS - midi audio driver setup - Use VST/Dxi Synth - Route midi thru to midi driver- Select the VST/DXi Synth]. This should open the Synthfont GIU where you can set what SF files you have. If you get stuck after this point let me know and I will creat a video... [Linked Image]

floyd...brilliant write as usual and a super mix...your use of Brent is what made it work...it was seamless and feels like he walked into the studio and laid down the tracks for you...your lyrics are always conversational and "seem" effortless and the marriage between them and the melody work flawlessly together...more than well done!

Torrey..."The heart of the problem is the problem of the heart" Wow! man you just wrote the perfect line to capture everything that I (personally) would want to convey in a song...I love everything about this one, the lyric, the style, the vocal and the arrangement...for some reason it had kind of an Eagles vibe to me...there were times in the melody I could hear Glenn (may he rest in peace)...I hope that's a compliment...I meant it to be...you never disappoint brother...well done good and faithful servant!

Ron...I was immediately attracted to the title (I wrote a song a few years back https://soundclick.com/song/13940038 with the same title) so I love the title...your concept is entirely different and I loved the lyric of the struggle of a small town boy out of his element...your tunes are always very sweet to my ears...love the mellow arrangement and acoustic feel...great vocals!

You may well already know, but if not: you can search both RealTracks and Styles for a keyword like flute. Just put it into the search box, possibly setting or clearing other filters first.

But I know from your work with J&B that you're pretty good at harmonies, so just sing the harmonies as well and send those to Audimee too. The band you chose is perfect, just like your production. The lyrics and the story are also very good, but I already expected that from Mr. "95% of all songs should be love songs" himself grin I can't wait to hear it in the context of a full-length (Broadway) musical!
Thanks, B.D.... I've listened carefully to the harmonies (based on your comments). I find nothing objectionable about the them - and, certainly, adequate for the purpose. If I need "real" harmonies, I know the best harmony singer in the world smile (and she is included in some of the songs being used). I just used the free 15 minutes that Audimee provides to get the conversions I needed...so using it for harmonies is out of the question - I have 9 seconds left. After this (the "storyboard" for the show) is finished, I can't imagine needing to use this stuff for anything else...

Another candidate is tempo set in the F5 bar settings somewhere. There's a "Print Summary" button at the bottom of the F5 dialog that lists all changes within the song.

I finally figured out your songs remind me of music by ... Ringo Starr (I've been listening to his EP3 lately) :)…
Thank you Janne! When listening to music I liked over the years, I’ve always wished I could write songs as good as those artists. I guess we all want that. I’ve created my own library of well-known songs (over 2000 with lyrics and chords) and that process exposed me to the chord underpinnings of each song, so it was kind of an analysis in a way that has probably done my own songwriting some good. Soundcloud and YouTube have the same audio track, so any difference arising would come down to how each platform renders the audio I guess. Thanks for the recommendation of Ringo’s EP3 - I’d never heard it before. Thanks for listening and commenting! Andrew
