Oh, what a wonderful song so well done, Bob. Sad about Kendall, but i sure would like to hear your new one with a new one. Man, this has a great feel, and i like the progression. Special harmony sounds great. Pleasing mix that lets the ears and mind roam around in that blend of fine instruments. This is such a good write and now a wonderful tribute.

Ah, such a fine guitar sound. i really enjoy how you give us the story of the song, and especially love the result. i like how you got the title from the style. Awaiting the hunters could be a tune the shopkeepers at the hunting lodge would play. Or are the animals waiting for the them. The bass keeps a fine steady beat, and i like how various instruments come and go. Well produced. Much enjoyed --3 times.

You write of this frustration so brilliantly, David. Even the pedantic me enjoys the use of a double negative for emphasis. Very cool that you and Jon are still together. My co-writer Steve and i were together for 6 decades before he died. This is perfect. Right after "We Can't Live..." came "To Stand As One." You're such a good writer, David, an unique vocalist that grabs the listeners and keeps them. Excellent melody and production.

Hi, Marty. That's a lot of information to pack into a little song. I had to listen to it a second time... and then got distracted looking up the history of the Harvey Girls.  Haha. Thanks, David. What about The Pleasure Domes? Hi Marty! You did well to get all those words out! Me - I’d be tripping over every third syllable. You’ve done a good job documenting a piece of history. I still find it amazing how much was built with limited tech in what is a relatively short time ago. I love the video, and those passengers love the fiddle solo too - in particular the quadruplet sisters sitting either side of the aisle. Andrew Thanks, Andrew. i used my inner auctioneer. My 11-year-old granddaughter makes me sound like a slow-talker. Haha. Yeah, i saw those sisters enjoying the violinist more than the sounds.  Marty, the perfect backing band for a train song. Great fiddle! Super vocal and lyrics. Great mix. Loved it Thanks, Mario. For the solo i thought a whole band on the train would be too much. So what would a passenger carry aboard. Harmonica? A recently invented sax? Sherlock Holmes would've brought his violin. Great song! I've always felt an association with Santa Fe & New Mexico, though when I was in the US in 89 Arizona was the closest I got to it.. Love that fiddle solo. Thanks, Chay. When i think of New Mexico, i think of Georgia O'Keeffe. So then i think of my all-time favorite human, my great-grandmother Georgia Eiserlo. She always jokingly claimed to be named after the painter. i looked it up and she was right. She was named about 2 months after O'Keeffe.

Chay, Fantastic. What a star-studded lineup—Oliver Gannon, Kenny Barron, Brent Mason, Jeff Lorber, and more. The bossa nova rhythm and the instrumental solos are delightful. The video fits the mood of the song perfectly, too. Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Laurent, This is a really great rock number that reminds me a bit of Bon Jovi. Suno's vocals and guitar playing are fantastic. I think the video is also really well done. Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Mario, It’s a really fantastic groove. The fretless bass, SWAM trumpet, and electric guitar solo are all superb. This track proves that you are both a MIDI master and a brilliant player. Enjoyed my listen a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

there are various other scenarios like i stem split in the app...but some stems are not up to par. can then one tell the app to remodel the stem.. ie now a high audio quality stem is created. for example lets say the sax stem isnt high quality...thus remodel useing AI. SMP doesn't perform AI audio generation. It will split tracks into types of audio, but it doesn't create or regenerate audio in the way you are asking.

Janne, I'm completely blown away, and rendered speechless, by this incredible review of yours. I think it's easily the best review I have ever received for a song of mine, and I'm so grateful that the song resonated with you like this. What can I say, except for "thank you". I really have no other words.

It doesn't delete the realtracks or drums files. It's indicating that since you changed styles, tracks that were loaded previously in the song that aren't present in the new style you loaded were removed. If you want them back, they're still available to be loaded into the song again should you chose to do that.

Another brilliant, commercially appealing song And I'm glad that the desperately angry girl with black hair and tattoos has finally find the light of her life and now spending the best days of her life in the Caribbean. Cute lyrics. Great band, great mix and superb vocals. You are maybe the best producer on this forum, everything screams perfectness. This should be the biggest summer hit 2026, I wouldn't be surprised to hear this on the radio... or actually I would, because songs this good do not get airplay they deserve. Janne Wow, now I'm blushing a little  Thank you so much for your really nice comment, Janne. Makes my day

Hi all, Here's a funk song. As I'm not perfect, I'm not sure of the english lyrics because my usual language is french... https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/no-one-is-perfect I don't wait for a miracle I only believe in myself All I know is empirical Even If I like my bookshelf Life is a hard-liner teacher If I remember my mistakes It’s not to commit them later I stay aware of what I make Chorus: No one is perfect, far from it, But everyone must take Responsibility for their actions To err is certainly human We must learn from our mistakes Everyone will do what they can Staying aware of what they make Your freedom reaches its limits When that of others is restricted This idea must be in spirits That's obviously what the world needs RD Funk70sPop16ths^1 RT 4837 Electric Bass RT 4868 Electric Guitar RT 2933 Acoustic Guitar RT 4170 Electric Guitar Suno AI: Vocals and Tenor Sax

to make things even worse, if i remember correctly some standards go from 0 -127 and others 1-128. I remember having to change the number of the bass drum on my roland from that BIAB suggested. has this stopped now? middle c can't always be 60 if the staring number - 0 or 1 is different. FWIW, and confusing as it is, they're actually different ways of presenting the same thing. The values in the MIDI data itself are 0...127. Unfortunately, some people are uncomfortable with zero being a number, so they add 1 to all the numbers where they show the to you and subtract 1 from all the numbers you type for them to restore them to the 0...127 range. The reason for the 0...127 is related to 8-bit binary numbers where those are the values of the seven bits of the payload.

Very excellent song in all respects. It starts off with a Queen feeling, plus some of the guitar fills have that vibe - but has it's own individuality. Shigeki's strings are perfect for the piece. Fantastic production! Thanks so much for the great feedback, Chay Okay, even if it’s supposed to sound a little like Queen, it’s still light-years away from them ;-))) But I’m really glad you liked the song and wrote such a nice review about it. Thanks so much, Chay Andi ;-)

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
