Re: They Say jannesan 4 minutes ago Forum: User Showcase
What a beautiful and contemplative song, "All things of value have no defense/They vanish unless your heart prevents" I enjoyed the deep thinking in those words. Great band, I like the comfort of the baritone guitar and how the synth adds heavenly feel. Great vocals, calm and emotional. And those oohs and aahs add warm spirit. The video is thoughtful and touching. Janne

Lost in Space vicarn 22 minutes ago Forum: User Showcase
Hi all. Once again in unfamiliar genre territory, but we're only here once so why not try? I've changed the mix and settings about a dozen times or more and now I can't see the wood for the trees or sky for the stars. Can't even remember which BIAB tracks I used and which I discarded. Is there too much bass pumping or kick? Vocal too loud? Thank you Vic https://on.soundcloud.com/zL5r3iBLxCEn9I27yc Lost in Space © Vic Arnold 2026 Feeling like a castaway, on an island with no name, looking over at my phone. All apologies in vain. They just run away like rain. Now I'm dancing alone. Ch. Lost in space. Floating through the stars. Lost in space. Wondering how you are. Go back through the years, along the path of hopes and fears. Maybe trying much to hard. Dreaming what can't be redeemed, of so many different schemes, in this failing house of cards. Ch. Inst. Br. Does she ever think of me? Is this how it'll always be from now on? Ch.

Re: Summer On The Molstad Farm jannesan 22 minutes ago Forum: User Showcase
Interesting backstory, nice to hear how it inspired you to write this unique song about your treasure. I enjoyed the vivid images in the lyrics, I can really feel your summer and the smell of the farm, nostalgic real life experiences, learning and appreciation, all wrapped in a beautiful package. Good upbeat tempo with very catchy melody. Great vocals and the band fits perfectly with the story. And the mix is especially strong. Janne

Re: ♫ Take Today And Make It Mine jannesan 42 minutes ago Forum: User Showcase
Nice upbeat song, a song of encouragement for oneself. I like how the verses start darker and finally turn to full shine in the chorus which is really catchy one and it really gets stronger on each repeat with the help of those slight changes. I can imagine this also to be sung by supporters of a sports team. The powerful drums provide a solid foundation for the rock sound without losing optimism for aggressiveness. You have great skill to make these virtual singers sound like you, I'm surprised you managed that also with NineZero, good selection for your vision. I'm glad you got this one finished smile Janne

Re: New Operating System for Mac : TAHOE Mike Halloran Yesterday at 11:28 PM Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Macintosh Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Doing a Clean Install of the shipping version today (it's been years), I ran the installers for a number of old add-on packs, (I go back to 2016). Some of these ship with the current version; others need to be installed from our purchased downloads. All of my old Installers worked perfectly but… It occurs to me that all of these Installers all require Rosetta 2 to install onto my Studio M2 Ultra. While this will not be an issue till 2028, it will be then. Yes, we legacy users will be able to drag-n-drop from old Macs or external drives or whatever but new users will not be in the same boat. Need to set a calendar alert for two years from now to bring this up.

Re: On the Sunny Side of the Street (No AI) DC Ron Yesterday at 10:01 PM Forum: User Showcase
Rob, this is INSANELY good! Super arrangement, GREAT harp playing and AMAZING vocals+scatting. The musicality of this is off the charts. Just SO playful and fun, and full of...FEELING. Happy feeling, too. Which is in SUCH short supply. Love it! Well, I would let that last note decay naturally a bit longer. But at least you know I listen all the way through, right? Ha!

And together with the tight guitar band and great selection of BIAB instruments, this grows into the epic Praise Worship Uptempo song as the style describes. The dynamics is once again admirable, both in the arrangement and the vocal work. I sign your message, why is it more ok to bomb children, but not to say f***, expressing as loudly as possible the desperation of fighting against real problems that they want to sweep under the rag... Glad I joined YouTube more than 18 years ago, so I didn't have to prove my age wink I really enjoyed the suffering so mission complete laugh Janne
Thanks a lot for your kind and, as always, detailed feedback, Janne. I really appreciate it smile And you're right, the goal was to express maximum anger with as few words as possible. By the way, I'm surprised that YouTube computes your age thus losing the opportunity to verify your ID laugh

Gorgeous piece, Mario. Like floating in a gentling swelling ocean. Look out for the seagulls! All the instruments sound great. I especially enjoyed the strings and oboe although the bassoon is quite cool, too. But it all works perfectly and sounds great. You're amazing!

And it was also funny that I read that Ray said almost the same thing. Oh, and Scott Olson (above) as well. This doesn't mean there is anything wrong with that female vocal. Not at all! It just means that I have heard so many of your songs, and know your lyrical structure a bit, which is why I heard you in it too. I immediately looked up Audimee on the internet. I didn't know it. It looks good/promising, although I did think their harmony examples sounded a bit artificial. I'm going to try it out soon. Thanks for the tip, so to speak! So, all in all, it is a very beautiful song, Floyd! Including that lady. Can we now expect that only female voices will be heard in your upcoming songs? Regards, Hans
Thanks, Hans...

She didn’t realize how lucky she was to have someone love her that well. 😊 It’s such a cool musical project for you and Deb and we can’t wait for the project’s completion. Way Cool and creative to the max! J&B
Thanks ya'll. Much appreciated...

Your music-writing, lyric-writing and arranging prowess stand strong and tall in this creation. Moreover, after the bridge, the emotional intensity of the final chorus soared. Kudos to you on such an amazing job. After the song finished, I read the back story. It was fascinating to find out how the song came about. I sincerely hope that your idea for a musical grows into something extraordinary. You certainly have the ability and the creativity to make it work. Prior to listening, I was not aware that you had used Audimee. As I journeyed along with the song, I was puzzled because I could hear your vocal inflexions and pronunciations. The performance was superb, and underlying it was a distinct floyd-jane style. Now that I know how you achieved this, I am impressed. Audimee and you did a wonderful job. For what it's worth, I am now sitting here around 20 minutes after listening, and your song is still in my head, and I'm still greatly admiring what you have done. --Noel
Appreciate the fine comments, Noel....
