Re: Come Back Home (with Joliz) DC Ron 9 minutes ago Forum: User Showcase
Gorgeous (again!), Bob. Such evocative lyrics, and cradled like a baby by you and Joliz. Love the backing track. REALLY love your axe work and how it reflects the mood of the narrator while not retracing the melody. A bittersweet little notion wrapped in a great song. Fantastic stuff.

I really like the vocals; they fit the mood well, and the guitar solo is good too. I'm less convinced by the drums, especially when the guitar hits every beat, but that's just my humble opinion. Great work and good mixing.

Re: Guitar Instrumental Twinkle Toes 7 hours ago Forum: User Showcase
Very nice. Tension builds well throughout and, for me, the soaring lead guitar coming in at about the halfway point seals the deal through to conclusion. Really enjoyable listen. Mick

Yes, you are 100% Noel! Glad you agree that this was how BIAB 2024 worked (I never used BIAB 2025, so I can't verity this with that version). That said, development did not intend BIAB 2026 to work this same way.

I have no issues with the doubled vocals, to my ears it works well.
Thanks Lee - yes the bass had instant appeal for me also. Regarding Motown, I should have not mentioned my 'attempt'. One should never open with an apology for one's work!

No awkward chords this time Andrew, you’re slipping! Very clever opening on the video and great opening visuals, was that you jigging about in the orange t-shirt? Another winner Andrew.
Yes - oddly for me, it's all in the same key - no diminished, augmented or minor iv chords. It sounds quite good for a vanilla-flavoured chord progression! No jiggly dancing from me - thanks for watching the video! Andrew

Re: BIB DAW Damaged Mike Halloran 9 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Macintosh Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Your external SSD is connected over USB 3.0 through a USB-A port, USB 3.anything else over USB-C, USB 2, through a hub or more than one condition applies. Unplug the drive, plug it back in and see if that fixes you up. You may have to reboot after doing so but usually not. If your Mac has TB3/4 ports, a USB 4 drive connected directly or over a USB 4 hub will not give you this grief and will run anywhere from 3x to 15x faster depending on the original connection.

Hi Noel That’s a terrific song. I really like the synthetic effect on a synthetic voice and then you have the normal voicing in the harmony. Flawless, a catchy song worthy of several listens. Enjoyed listening, a great start to the day. Kind regards.

Thank you very much, Bob. A blind squirrel finds an acorn every now and then. smile Even my brother's silliest lyrics have a song-friendly rhythm to them that can but out into a real song. Glad you liked this one!

That was exactly the intent The sax lulls you and then ... but somehow, to me anyway, it all fits together Then the sax chills it out again. Thanks! The guy I normally jam with said 'I need to digest those chords for a bit' /LOL, when I can throw him back on his heels .. smile

Re: You knew this would be coming, right? Bass Thumper Yesterday at 08:57 PM Forum: Off-Topic Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Terrible idea. Choosing instruments is far too difficult and time consuming. Plus operating a mouse is laborious and may cause wrist injury. We need to be able to tell Alexa to compose a song where it decides on the genre, tempo, key, instruments, lyrics, song structure and of course all mixing details. This way everyone can feel good about being a pro-musician wink
