Just FYI (fun fact) Whenever you render a track in RB, at the end of the process it offers to Acidize it. At least with my settings it does. I believe that feature can be turned off, but why? If you don't want it on a particular file just click No.

Rob, Love this! A great rendition. The tracks selections and your harmonica are excellent. Really nice mix on this as well. Your vocal is also a standout. I hear subtle touches of Mac Rebennack. Very nice! Awesome! Bob

Hello PG Music, I would appreciate some clarification about the VAT charged on orders shipped to Germany. For my order, VAT appears to be charged by PG Music at checkout. At the same time, for a USB hard drive imported into Germany, I understand that I may also have to pay 19% German import VAT upon import, usually collected by the transport carrier before or at delivery. Could you please explain: • What exact type of VAT or tax is being charged by PG Music at checkout? • To which authority is this VAT paid? • Does this payment replace the German import VAT, or do I still have to pay 19% import VAT in Germany when the shipment arrives? • In other words, is there a risk that I am being charged VAT twice — once by PG Music and once again by the German authorities? I would be grateful for a clear explanation of how this is handled for shipments to Germany, especially for orders delivered on a USB hard drive. Thank you very much in advance. Norbert P.S.: Additionally, I would like to know why this year you no longer offer a download-only upgrade option, as you did in 2025.

Aww, Vic! "Hiraeth", in Welsh, means simply a deep longing for something, someone, or somewhere which never actually was. That was what I was aiming for

BRAVI!!! Such a small world ... as I've just commented on YouTube, Rayna played one of my own songs on her show, a few days ago, when she returned to the airwaves after a small hiatus. She's a lovely lady, and I'm sure you made her so happy with this song. The song itself is up to your usual stratospheric standard, no surprises there, in that sense Again, well done to the both of you, Bob and Joliz ... you've just put a massive smile on my face!

Hi Torrey. What a fantastic song! From start to finish this is professional. Your song songwriting, arranging and producing shine brightly. Those opening two lines of the chorus, "The heart of the problem is the problem of the heart," really captured my imagination. These are not only powerful lyrics because of the very clever word-play, they are also powerful because they resonate with one of Life's universal truths. This song is yet another very impressive musical creation. I really enjoyed listening. --Noel

Hi Mario! This is a nice piece! At first, I was confused as I thought ‘There aren’t 14 months in a year?’  Seriously, I was going to suggest ‘Contentment’ as a title, but then it got slightly dark towards the end, so I don’t know. Maybe ‘Old person sitting in a chair’? I’ve always liked the sound of the English horn - I think that’s also called a Cor Anglais? I could be mistaken. Anyway - a lovely piece. 14th April is my Mum’s birthday, so it’s meaningful. Andrew Sorry Andrew I forgot that other parts of the globe use a different order for dates. You did give me an idea though as I just might do a song and call it "February 30th" I looked it up and yes the English horn is called the Cor Anglais. "Old Man Sitting in a Chair" is my theme song! Plus it is true! I'm glad you liked it.

Hi Shigeki Adachi. You've done it again! Absolutely superb music and truly wonderful listening. There can be no doubt about it, you are a master songwriter, arranger and producer. This remix was definitely worth the effort. I also compliment Natsuki Yoshikawa on her excellent vocals, and Miya Nakajima's jazz piano playing was first-class. You know some very, very talented people It never stops ceasing to amaze me just how very skillful you are. --Noel

That was a very interesting article Jim so thanx for posting it. I really liked the music from those "outlaw" days. Willie, Merle, Waylon, David Allan Coe, etc were at their best during that time period. Please no hate mail. That is just my opinion and YMMV.

Another Synthesizer V (short Synth V) user here. Synth V isn't an AI like Suno, which means you can't just give it a command/prompt and it'll do the rest. Instead, you have to edit the notes, tempo, and lyrics (down to the syllable level), in other words, the entire prosody, in one way or another. It can be tedious at times, but you have complete control over the result. If you'd like to hear some examples: On my YouTube channel, all the songs from “Can't Get To The Other Side” and older are done exclusively with Synth V.

Great songwriter! Wrote a lot of very popular tunes. His recorded version of "The Gambler" is fairly different from the version Kenny Rogers made famous.

F bombs? We'd say about average for one episode of so many series nowadays. We're late to the party but we've read all the comments and, for us, DC nailed it. Regarding the narrative it needs to be said in whatever way grasps attention. And it was very well stated. All of the tracks and the great mix yielded a stadium filling sound. It setup a standout soundstage on our monitors. Simply EPIC! And really driven home with the video. Wow. Kudos and a helluva great production! J&B Thank you Janice, thank you Bud, for your nice and positive feedback. Much appreciated
