When I first saw the sing title, I thought, "Oh no, not another peeping Tom song!" laugh Very nice melody. One of your best. Nice 50s flavor, but more musically sophisticated. You are such a hopeless romantic, you old geezer.

Thanks for the nice supportive review. Much appreciated! Yes Miller’s Blues is a great tune. We were familiar with it but had a revisit after reading this. They were packed with talent. J&B

Makes sense that this is likely Pipeline. He was memorable. Without my asking, he once built me a custom script to work around an intermittent BiaB dual screen bug that the PGMusic team couldn't help with. One hardware DAW and two BiaB versions later, I still use it. So that was a real positive experience. And another: Found his posts about Reaper integration with BiaB to be so inspirational that I spent three days or so trialing Reaper. Didn't work out for me. Still... On the other hand, his latest video is cool, but I don't think I have a need for the functionality.

Re: Play Button in StylePicker Not Playing the Highlighted Style AurealiusB 3 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Aha, this might work for me (what was said above): “You can sort the list of styles or listen to an instant preview by double-clicking on a style.” When I double-click on a highlighted style, BIAB indeed says it is auditioning it (and doesn't change my current style ... so far so good!). However, I don't hear anything. I hear the song fine in BIAB when I press the Play button. So, why don't I hear any sound when I'm auditioning a Style? If I can get this to work (sound-wise), I think I'd be good to go.

Hi Andrew, Cool intro, very creative! I like your lead guitar part, nice hook, also like that rhythm guitar you chose. Good write! Just read Floyds comment, I was going to say that your songs are down to earth, but, "real" is a better description with two less syllables eek Enjoyed your video too.

Risi, firstly welcome to the forums. I believe that I follow your explanation, however, a video would be an excellent idea. As they say: "a picture is worth a thousand words" smile Also, do let us know what build number you are using (Help > About).

Re: BLUNDER TOWN almost done Steve Hutter & Pygmy Beat Birchwood 8 hours ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Hi Ray, It's a nice song and also nice lyrics and a surprising end! Everyone here is excited about your song, but I'm not. I just like it, but I believe you can make it a lot better! The reason is twofold: I’m not really crazy about this voice, or rather, I should say, the way he sings the lyrics; a bit pedantic. Additionally, I don't think the music sounds very clear, a bit like it’s coming from under a blanket. This actually sounds quite negative, and that’s not me, or at least I don't want to come across that way. I just wanted to let you know that those two elements could be better. And you already said that the song "screamed" for criticism. That is why I am writing this down. It could be sung much more clearly and also funnier. Then you would have a really nice song. But I also know what criticism can do sometimes. Just see if you can do something with it. Otherwise, just say I'm whining. That’s allowed too! I will see, Hans

Re: THE GLADE_David Snyder Birchwood 8 hours ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Hi David, As Brain already said, this is the exact opposite of the David we know. And I was shocked by the title of the other song here: "How great thou art" (I'm listening to it right now), because that title sounded so religious! If I focus on The Glade, I have to say that I really loved the guitar playing and the melody. Beautifully done! But that second song also gave me a very pleasant feeling, something like: David, "thou" are just amazing on that acoustic guitar! And right after that, a satisfied "sigh..." from within. But I do hope you keep both feet on the ground and remain "a rebel"! Beautiful instrumental tracks are one thing, but a song with a voice like a broken plate and lyrics so razor sharp... well, that will also be "how great thou art," I think I like that too! Hans

Makes me want to try it myself! wink BIAB lead player is good, but I'm surprised you didn't record your own part, I think your chops are as good as his. Great music as always, Floyd, enjoyed very much.
Really appreciate that, Dave. Thanks for the comment on "chops" - the BIAB lead seemed like what I would have played myself, so I saw no reason to swap it out (which I had considered)

I lived in a small town with an official population of 201 when I moved in with my bride to our new 100 year old home. When we moved out it had exceeded 1000 people easily. There's a lot to be said about front porch sitting and conversations with neighbors over the back fence about how the garden is growing, but there's also a freedom in not having people living 100 feet away from you and having their yard lights shining in your bedroom windows at night. Thanks for listening. Glad to be able to help kindle the old recollections.
