... When 90% of BIAB’s functionality is ignored or misunderstood, it becomes easy to misinterpret what competing software is doing, or to mistake long-standing BIAB features for innovations elsewhere. ... This sounds like a good idea for a new thread ... 'I use [part of] 90% of BIAB that others don't - here's what I know ...' Andrew

I think you may get the award for the longest song introduction.  I don't mind the synth vocals. I think it would be to cumbersome for me to put them together. It's easier for me to make 10+ vocal takes until I get it halfway right. Beautiful melody and arrangement. Yes, there is some 70s flavor but the sound is a style of its own.

I have a C-note for the bottle. Quite a rollicking song! You keep outdoing yourself. Love that Dave guitar solo (oooh, and a mini bass solo). Cool harmony in the ending.

Hi Ron Resolution challenge completed. Really nice choice of style and the key change at the bridge(?) worked really well. Good vocals, you have a smooth delivery, you never seem to have blips or rawness like I do. Another good'un, Kind regards Why, THANK YOU, Lee! Yes, OF COURSE I have blips and rawness in my vocal takes. But I edit them out, or try to. Have posted many times that *I can't sing*. But I do know how to shape a vocal performance so that it's not distracting for the listener. If I have a talent, that may be the one. Glad you enjoyed the tune! DC, I'm listening with headphone so the hard panning seems VERY hard panned. For cans I suspect bringing the hard ones in to about 70 or 80 would sit better other than for psych. The kick clicks a little too much for my ears - I know that tinnitus scoops my hearing in a way that accentuates the kick click. I enjoyed the vocals - the harmonies are cool. fabulous arrangement/dynamics and a fab song overall. THANKS, rayc! Understand about the hard panning. FWIW, there are six guitars, and I organized them in three pairs. The first two guitars are panned 100% L&R. The second two are panned 60%, and the last two are panned 40%. The first pair are more prominent in the mix, and are active over about 2/3 of the song. I could probably pull them all in a bit. But...100% of my songs use hard panned instruments, usually guitars. It's just my thing, for better or worse, and I like it myself, which is why I keep at it. Still, there may be some rebalancing in order, and I'll listen for this again. Am not hearing the kick clicks but I'll look at those as well. I have tinnitus as well. Crickets. All the time. Glad you enjoyed the vocals (blush) and the song overall. It's a trifle, but what's life without trifles?

Hi Hans A really good choice of style, love the violin. Yes it’s different, but it works and works well. I have a penchant for upbeat Irish/folk music, so this really appeals to me. Great song, kind regards.

Nice work with the instrumentation, especially that piano. Your lyrics are really good, especially the chorus. Speaking of the chorus, it has a theatrical sound to it. The wind instrument (dizi flute?) sounded cool.

Hot little number Pete, Really liked the style and guitar choices. Perhaps as you say a little hot, especially at the top of the chorus, but if still works. You do have a good solid singing voice, really like it. Great job, kind regards.

Rob, super write and uber cool laid back performances. Nice traditional backing track, and the vocalist fills in nicely. That sax solo turned out great, but I'd still love to hear your always-on-point harp. Heck, I'd love to hear you sing this, too. But that's just me being selfish. Love the song! There's a lurch in the backing track at 0:16 that may be fixable, but I'm not sure what it is. Most noticeably, the strings drop in volume rapidly. Didn't detract from my enjoyment of your awesome song though.

Very cool, B.D. Such a poetic take on a year that's violently shattered so many norms. I'm an optimist, and believe in my heart that we'll come out of all of this stronger. But at what cost? Time will tell. The sparce production is quite gorgeous. Love the pathos of your vocalist and the overall vocal performance. I might be hearing a bit more sibilance than usual, but that adds to the intimacy to my ears. Certainly doesn't detract from the beauty of the song in the least. Didn't watch the video, but REALLY love your song. Songs about something important are...something.

Hi Sol, There’s nothing wrong with singing about sadness. Like love and laughter it’s something we all have to experience. I think I’ve mentioned in other posts of mine that singing and songwriting for me is cathartic and helps me to get all my insights, frustrations and feelings out. No point bottling them up….but I do! This is a great expressive song you’ve written and sung. I enjoyed it, kind regards.

Someone on Gearspace posted their first couple of hours experience with it and said that there are artifacts after editing. Someone on the Recording and Mixing forum here said that you can just download all of its loops and then cancel the subscription, and I'm inclined to think that you can't do that and continue editing. The tech is so intertwined with the Tonalics program that to do proper editing you have to have Tonalics. The other thing the guy on Gearspace said is that there is no DI option. Not sure about that so I got in for a dollar and going to check it out over the weekend.

Hi Lee. I really enjoyed listening to this. As you sang, images of those road trains that we have in the long-haul desert regions of Australia kept appearing in my mind. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32196&filename=road train.jpg) What began as an exercise turned into an excellent song. --Noel

A free-flowing vibed instrumental with great instrumentation - very enjoyable - but I felt that mix could have been made smoother by evening out the various stems' volumes.

Alt+Tab is good. Also remember Alt+F4 which closes windows one at a time. This is useful when you can’t figure out which window has you stuck.

Hi Chris, In a way, I hear this song in French! It has a beautiful structure, I think, as only French musicians/poets can. It's a wonderfully sweet, dreamy love song (unfulfilled, of course, that's typically French) with a beautiful mandolin. Suno's vocals are excellent here, although a French voice singing in English (think Charles Aznavour's "She") would probably have been a good choice as well. Anyway, I thought it was very beautiful! Hans

Hi, Arri. Cool cover, I love the backstory. I'm with Hans on the volume of the wind - it gets in front of the vocals and detracts from the song.... IMO. Feel free to disagree. Everything else sounds great. You've got a pretty impressive tremolo on the mandolin!

My Motu M4 Asio works fine on the old dell tower. I am confident that having no headphone output except at 48k causes the conflict.
