Excellent song, Herb, really well written, arranged, and mixed, and I've always enjoyed your vocals. I miss hearing you on the lead guitar, but the BIAB dude did a good job for you  Good one, enjoyed.

Yeah! Some great playing here, Mario, nice hearing you cut loose! I can relate with the shoveling snow bit, been a bad winter for snow up this way too.

Hi Dave and Chris, That is such a great funky groove, you had me hooked with the tension right from the outset. And your lead guitar is phenomenal. The production quality is very clear everything in the right place and at the right level. Some quality sassy vocals as well, with all the other elements makes this song a winner. Definitely worthy of half a dozen listens…going back for more. Loved it, kind regards. Appreciate all of that, Lee, thanks very much! Great energy, searing guitar, strong vocal and a terrific write! This is another that is new to me. Really enjoyed it, BA, you got the magic touch, musically! Chris and I were really prolific when we first started working together, she had all these lyric ideas looking for music and I had all these music ideas looking for lyrics. By the time we had done Blue Line back in 2018 we probably had close to 50 songs done. There are a few more from back then I'm going to redo before getting back to new material. Thanks for the support over the years, Bob, very much appreciated!

I love the Linux platform. I'm on Windows since that handles most of my programs, but a Linux version is a great idea! John

Your chord progressions are wonderful, especially in the third and fourth measures right at the beginning which drew me right into the tune. I very much like the ethereal feeling mixed with rock that you put into it. John

Hey, Marty! It's always wonderful to see you here. I'm looking forward to hearing your remix of "Rainin'." Anyway...rain. Weird, huh? Yep, I don't know what it is about "rain" songs! In 2022, I released what I consider to be my most beautiful song, "Raindrop Soul." At the same time, two other songs were released, "Raindrops" and "Between the Raindrops." It's as if the three of us got together and said, "Let's all write a song with Raindrop in the title and release them!" If you have an inclination to further get drenched, "Raindrop Soul" is at https://www.johnwalradt.com/music/songs/raindropsoul.mp3 Yep, Liv has a beautiful voice. She's from England. I used Liliia Kysil, who is from Kiev, Ukraine, on "Raindrop Soul." She has a very lovely voice. John

I awoke from a dream with this melody. I dreamt that I was listening to a new song by the Eagles called "Got a Way." When I awoke, I realized I had come up with the melody. I immediately got up, got my guitar and wrote down the notes and chords. Then came the hard part...coming up with the words! I got Clay Collins who is on FiveRR to sing the vocals. When I released it on Broadjam, it soared right up to #5 Earth following my #1 song, "Stay Here Now." Oh, I've been asked where do find a grove of trees in the desert? Riparian. Riparian groves are found in the desert in canyons. https://www.johnwalradt.com/music/songs/shehasaway-master24_nov25.mp3 Style is _INSPIRE.STY (Inspire Cheery Indie Pop) RealTracks in style: 1253:Bass, Electric, PopShiningHeld Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1262:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopShiningHeld Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 410:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Country Cowboy Ev 165 RealTracks in style: 634:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopAmericanMuted Ev 120 (B:8ths) Loop in Song: House-Techno-Trance\House - crunchy_120_b drums ev16.wav RealDrums in style:MetalSlowBigTomGroove: a: Toms, Snare b: Busy Big Toms, Snare SHE HAS A WAY Words and music: John Walradt She has a way And I don’t know what to say She has a way Got me singin’ feelin’ thinkin’ dreamin’ I’m in love and I’m believin’ Everything is going to be okay I don’t know how she does it but You know, you know, you know She has a way.

When this happens, in the notation options, is "highlight notes in red" still showing selected? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32362&filename=notation red.png) Yes, I have that checked. I also can't figure out why there is a label of "1a 1 Acoustic Piano" that I can't get rid of? Let's also keep in mind that the notes are highlighted in red when played back in BIAB, but the Save as Video command doesn't show that. This just falls deeper into the "this is broken" category.

Probably my favorite. Just to note..... I have my good earbuds in and when those wind chimes started in the beginning, my dog Mesha, who was laying halfway across the room raised her head, perked up her ears and looked at me as if saying what is that? Thanx Herb. Great looking Dogs. They are a little larger than our Two Shih-Zus!

Hey DC, This has a great 1950s high school prom sock hop type of a vibe. I can see you on stage with a suit jacket and a Fender Jazzmaster and Black Horn rim glasses standing pigeon-toed and singing this song to a crowd of hot, screaming girls in polka dot dresses. Man that's not a bad life. I think you should try your hand at that. It worked out really well for Elvis Costello. It's never too late to bring back the 50s my friend and so help me God I hope you'll be the man to do it. Thanks, David. Bought EC's 1st album, with my brother, after watching the Attraction's 1st appearance on SNL, almost 50 years ago. Seems like yesterday... Good to see you back here!

Hmmm. The Intel Driver and Support Assistant (DSA) won't run on my system for reasons not well explained by the messages I'm getting. Will look at it some more. Windows 11 services definitely slow down for me when a Windows update is available. This was true for my last two DAWs, including the current one in my signature. Restarting Windows fixes it 100% of the time, so I'm not REAL worried about it. Still, would be nice...

We enjoyed reading the cool narrative of the creation. “Don't raise me up so tall Cause I would have to fall” That is really standout. Bella sounds awesome as always. You and the BiaB session guys work very well together. Great arrangement, mix and we enjoyed the different take on the love song. We played a lot of waltz time during our bluegrass gigging days … always nice to hear one here. Well done! J&B Thanks Janice, thanks Bud ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) I'm also a big fan of 3/4 (or, as Noel correctly pointed out, 6/8) and hope that BG will add more RealTracks for it in the future.

Very surprized to see this 1 year old tread reposted here. I am not sure what Musocitys intenion was in posting this originally. Fact is I don't think many of us ever did. He was out there! But Rob, you don't need any "scripting knowledge" to do what is being shown in all those clips from SMP. Those are just an illustrations of what SMP can do. I was talking the Jonathan, who is SMP developer just this morning (...what a name dropper  ) . He is still very active and interested in further developing and improving SMP. I am working with him on some ideas whereby SMP and BIAB will communicate better with the transfer of files. There are currently "accuracy" issues which we think can be resolved at the SMP end.

Shakuhachi is just about my favorite World instrument, so I knew I was going to like this one, I don't think the sample sounded as realistic as BIAB's RT, but it is still pretty good. Great job with this piece, Mario, one of your best!
