Chay, you've created some beautiful music here! You've assembled quite the ensemble with those BIAB tracks! I can surely relate to that struggle to come up with something new! That's usually when I remember to check my voice recorder on my phone for short little melody snippets that pop in my mind occasionally that I quickly record. Usually something will develop from those. This was an enjoyable listen that is well worth the time investment to check it out! Thanks, TB Much appreciated, Torrey! My problem now is getting vocal songs sorted as I've got a backlog of 7.

One final comment. Wow and Flutter is not noise which can be filtered or EQ'ed out. It is a corruption of the track due to actual phyical damage to the tape on which the music was recorded. This issue, best I know, is isolated to old processing - pre digital music making. But many of you know that better than I. My current efforts are the first time I have encountered this. Hense, I never needed a tool to fix it. I did what I could by placing a new melodic instrument (Organ) to play over the wobbly guitar while I reduced its volume. The really bad stuff was isolated to the first 25% of the guitar part. So I could bring the guitar back in for the solo and later verse. Dan

I've reverted to RB2024, issues are causing too many distracting interruptions to work flow, hopefully this can be fixed soon. Vintage

Excellent instrumental, Al. Not sure if I heard it previously, but it sounded sparkling new!

Actually I like it this way, and I requested it some dozen years ago. My suggestion at the time was considered but overridden. I really like the method of data entry for notes and rhythms in BIAB, so I enter all the notes and then go back through to ‘add’ all the rests. But that’s just me. I always figured this would be an optional setting.

Mario, What no MIDI! LOL! This is great Mario - that Swam sax really gives the song an epic feel. Love your guitar playing as well. Bob

Here in South Florida, the winters are usually mild. But when a huge deep-freeze blizzard hits the northeast states, we might get the tail end. Night temperatures in the low 40s and only 60 in the day. Then it warms back up to the 60s at night and 70s in the day typically the next day, and rarely a couple. .............................. Notes ♫ You're breaking my heart Notes  Woke up at 7:30AM yesterday to 2F (-16.7C) and today at 1:30PM it is 9F (-13.8C). Now I have to go out and snowblow and shovel my driveway.

Is it possible the other way round? Draging the chord track from Studio one into the plugIn? I cannot find any Manual, video or other information that is not outdated for years. Am I too blind or doesn't the plugIn get some love from PG Music. One would think that the plugIn is important for many users.

Caramba! I had no idea you'd passed on, Torrey!  "Just know it's not the end" is exactly right. Great song all around. Nah, still hanging on! Thanks for the listen and comment! TB

I don't know if this will help or just add more noise to the discussion. I had a hard time figuring out how to effectively use ACW. Eventually I got to this point. 1. Be sure the project is set to 120 BPM regardless of the tempo of the song. 2. add your lines manually and use the equalize tempo assuming you know the actual tempo of the original song... or just guess. Once I started with those 2 things, everything else kinda fell right into place. It's not very common now that I get myself painted into the proverbial corner and have to start over.

Firstly, we were amused and engaged reading your backstory. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The synth vocals sound good. No need to apologize for them. Heck, aren’t they like scoring and playing an instrument? The entire and and mix sound excellent on the monitors. You definitely accomplished the Americana band vibe Like you, we sometimes change the feel of the song several times in the making. Particularly after we match Janice’s melody/progression with Bud’s lyric.  And we always enjoy your mix data. Wish more folks did that. Well done! J&B

Wistful and wonderful, ya'll. Very calming on the surface, but a lot going on beneath. Especially like the twisty chord changes. The long held note at the end is sweet, too. Can't think of a fresh way to say this: GREAT vocals, SUPER lead guitar and STELLAR mix. So I'll just say it like that. Ya'll are the best. My grandfather made a living and supported a family running his one man farm in south Georgia. Spent a couple of summers as a teen shadowing him. Saw hard work close up, and did a bit myself. But his farm and the hundreds of others like his are all gone now, overtaken by corporations, combines and kudzu. It's progress, I know, but it's sad as well. Love this song. I could tell a few barn stories. Maybe another time... Thank you for the very nice review. It means even more given that you have experienced farm work. "One take Janice" surprised me with that long note. Thanks for mentioning it. Glad you liked the guitar, the vocals and the mix. So we both did some farm work in S. GA Heckuva coincidence! The small farm situation is indeed sad. They are very hard to find nowadays. Land bought by corporations and crop allotments leased to big ag. We three appreciate your comments! J&B

I had listened to this a few days ago. I thought I had commented, but I guess not. So here I am. Spoken word. Kinda like the beat poets from back in the day. You don't hear that much anymore.

Yes the $49 offer on the arranger is a very good deal but it does revert to the normal price after the year subscription is up. Of course you can cancel it at your will.

Elaborate indeed! From what I can find out about 14,000 USD but only available in Japan for now. An specialized international retailer, Taro's Trade, can source one but on top of the basic price and shipping there is also import duty, additional tariffs, purchase tax or vat to take into consideration where applicable. And because the unit is 100 volt Japanese, they may require a voltage convertor to function in your local areas. Still a fantastic instrument played by a true master. Jeff
