Steve, those were some very serious chops! Jazz at its best. The backing track fit perfectly. Great job on those bass lines. The mix was perfect. I really enjoyed this one. MarioD- Thanks! It was a fun song to record.

That BiaB band is a showcase within the showcase forum. Excellent session folks indeed and very well mixed. Thank you J&B! I laid the foundation of the song in BIAB quite a few months ago, and I wish I’d kept notes about my choices for adding the additional RealTracks. I think the baritone guitar was added being similar to my own guitar with tremolo in my original recording, and the organ similar to my pianica. But credit to the BIAB band for the irreplaceable foundation. As you both often say - what would we do without it! The video is very creative. And the supportive real clips are perfect. Fortunately, I have access to a good library of video stock in Clipchamp, and can usually find something that fits - either directly or indirectly. Being a writer who doesn’t place as much weight on the lyrics - sometimes to my detriment - it is often during the video that I think deeply about the words I have used and how to represent them in video. As others have praised the arrangement, chord structure and vocals are top notch. I think you referred to me as Mr. Chord Man recently, and that is often my motivation and starting point. It is also what I tend to focus on in others’ songs when listening. Thank you for noticing and commenting! Andrew

Hi Mario! As the tune played, I pictured myself in a dark alley alongside the jazz club; a brunette in a top hat, leotard, fishnet stockings and stilettos walked slowly towards me … I looked behind me to see who was there, but there was no-one … surely she couldn’t be looking at me? As she moved close and leaned in, placing her arm across my shoulder and blowing smoke in my face, I panicked, held up my left hand and pointed to my ring finger - “I’m married!”. Then the tune ended. Thank you for an adventure vicariously through your piece! Wonderful creativity and playing! Andrew

A good example of a great DAW that just never get finished properly. the thread about surprise that it allowed you to remove a track. the response is "it shouldn't do that" My question is WHY!!!! it should allow a track to be deleted even when running Most DAWs do. RB is a powerful DAW with a ton of features that are often overlooked. That said it needs a modernization program to bring it into the now.

Great yacht rock composition. I love the singer, I don't care if it is AI. I prefer your more poetic, contemplative lyrics, but this is good, too. Excellent use of multiple resources to complete a masterpiece. Well done! Thank you very much, TuneMonger, for the comments. Laurent

Thanks Matt. Your comments are always so helpful. I think BIAB could make the drum fills between substyles more active. Thanks rharv. I’m usually at a more moderate tempo but I’ll try that one.

Another great jazz rendition from Bob. When you mentioned Chet Baker I was expecting a trumpet solo but that harmonica was perfect. Great vocal and mix. A fantastic version of an ol' jazz classic - keep them coming.

Hi Hans - thanks so much for your very kind comments, The piano was made up from 3 VSTs in combination - Pianoteq Petrof and U4 Upright, plus Keyscape C7 Classical. I used Spectrasonics Omnisphere "Nylon Sky" for the lead part - Trilian for the bass, and Modartt Pianoteq "Classical Guitar" on the L and "Harps" on the R for subtle rhythm parts! A simple setup and a very simple tune really - but I enjoy putting some "feel" into my playing (leftover from playing guitars etc I suppose?) and hopefully that feel might have been picked up by your ears? Really pleased you liked my tune - thank you for listening Hans!! All the best to you, Carl

Hi Marty! Excellent, Hans. The way you develop your songs is worthy of being taught in college courses. I've already told you how much i like this one, AND the one you're making now is really over-the-top good. Can't wait to see it here. AND can't wait for the video youmake for it. But i'm getting ahead of myself --or ahead of you. Love the video for this one. i have to make my own Ken Burns effect and it's a PITA. Nice to have Davinci help. Looks great. Now i'm listening on Soundcloud where i say the music sounds better. Thanks a lot, Marty. You know, I always come to you to let you here a new idea for a song. Mostly you then write "I can't wait to hear the new version(s) of this song, because I'm sure you alter a lot again". And yes, that's exactly what I did. This song was - in a way- a pain in the *ss. Sometimes I thought it was very good, but a day later I thought someting wasn't good enough, the song, the instruments, the lyrics, name it. But yes, this one was the one! That video was also not easy to do. Many times I asked myself 'why' doing all this for only 4 minutes. Haven't got the answer yet... Till next songs, Marty!
