This song was quite a challenge. Your rather slow voice soars over a fairly fast rhythm, and it works well; the backing vocals are very good. Great job. I suppose you know the Simon & Garfunkel version. Laurent

I really like the guitar riffing in the background; it has a sound somewhere between an electric guitar and a synthesizer. The singing is great. Very good song. Laurent

Yep they overdid it especially with the over zealous crying which was the first giveaway for me, but still I liked the song and even the AI artist. I think it has reached a stage now for a lot of people that no matter how good a AI song is the mere fact that it was AI created will put a lot off.

Nice choice of style, and your voice is well-placed and fits this kind of song perfectly. The bass gives the impression of time standing still, and that works well with the song too. It's going to be time to change girlfriend (willingly or unwillingly). Laurent

Excellent Bob, that voice speaking over that superb rhythm and joliz behind. The intro, electric piano, wah guitar, then bass is absolutely killer and immediately builds tension. Beautiful work. Laurent

You are surely an apprentice i can learn from, Ken. i always thought "wistful" was waltz's first name. Good mix. The lows may be a bit overpowering, yet still add good depth to the overall sound. This song sounds great in your, er my headphones. Also sounds good on the Klipsch speakers. A beautiful feel and lovely vocal.

"Your observation of this action has been discussed and debated behind the scenes many times." Well, not really. There was a debate on if BIAB should open with last project. And there is an option for that, as you've mentioned: "Open with previous Song". I have zero issues with that. However, when you have bootup as "Don't open song or style". - It should always fall to Default view.

I was a bit fooled at first since it was on 60 minutes, a show which is known for its investigative excellence. Now it appears to be just part of the scam. Fake News (ya, CBS is in the news in a bad way these days). God help us all! Dan, to be sure, there are a ton of scams and scammers out there and they are enabled by AI these days. And I agree that 60 minutes has been known for top quality journalistic integrity and intelligence over the years. But I have to be more forgiving and disagree that they are part of a scam. At this point in time, and we are still early in this "investigation", the furthest I can go is to label 60 Minutes as possibly incompetent, naiive and misled. They are too smart to intentionally participate in a scam like this, they have too much to lose. But if the firestorm continues they may be forced to redact and correct themselves, which, to their credit, they have done in the past. Also keep in mind that there will always be backlash and howling whenever new technology or new methods emerge, AI is a great example where you've heard "I see a lot of artificial but no intelligence" despite the fact that AI is solving intractable math problems, assisting in drug discovery and much more. If you were a buggy whip manufacturer, you hated when the automobile arrived. In general, people don't like change, and when it happens it's disruptive and there are always people that are negatively affected. Therefore, one must either adapt or pay a price because if there's anything that's constant . . . it's change.

Cool song. It has an "In the Year 2525" kind of vibe to it. Thanks, Herb. Good year. Wonder what music will be like then. Hi, Marty. Solid work, excellent singing. Cool bridge. And man, is Dave on fire here.  Thanks, David. You form a mental pic for me of Dave with flames flowing out of his guitar. Marty, this was very creative. Loved those lyrics but I believe there is life after death. Dave's guitar was perfect as always. That lead was fantastic. As usual everything is top shelf. Loved it Thanks, Mario. Guess i'm an agnostic and a sophist, so i believe nothing but can argue either side. Excellent song, Marty, and man, that video is something else! Thanks to everyone that mentioned my bit. Thanks, Dave. And thanks again and again, Dave.

........As much as I loved the sound of those, touring with tube amps was just asking for trouble. Hence the reason I always carried spare tubes. That one time I set up and my fuse blew due to a cracked power tube envelope, and having to run up the road to buy a replacement tube was the only lesson I needed. From there on I always had spares with me. Ahhhh, tube jockeys. Always carry some spare 6BL8's, 6X4's and 5Y3's - just in case...

For streaming purposes a 320MP3 works pretty well though .wav 16 or 24 can get good results IF the LUFS algorithm the site doesn't require the song to be mashed and assuming the playback device is up to snuff. I use .wav for SC. For Ytub I work with a 24 bit wav in the project but rendering to MP4 video format reduces the audio to 320 MP3. I recall when a special suffix was required for a youtube vid to play back in stereo. Old or what? In the end EARS are the key issue - can one tell the difference in the best of circumstances. THEN algorithm/processing by the streaming service and THEN PLAYBACK set up. I usually listen to streamed audio with good headphones but the playback set up is my computer's audio card so okay but not great.

That was a delight. The mix sounds flawless. and I imagine it was a bit complicated to put it all together with all the varied elements. Excellent performances from Janice and Peter. Thank you for all! Regarding the mix it was made easier by “one take” Janice and Peter’s “just drop them in” tracks. 😀 Bud

Sorry, Mario, I was writing metaphorically. While it is true that I am my wife's official carer (she's recovering from a stroke), I retired from my day job 10 years ago and we live quite comfortably. Nevertheless, as we are assailed with various uncertainties and challenges, "Lost In The Clouds" still has a curious calming effect. Many thanks.

You must spend every minute of every day sitting at your music computer surrounded by instruments with at least one in your hands Lucky us Good music Excellent listening .fj Thanx Floyd for listening and commenting. You are pretty close to the truth. I do spend a lot of time in my studio. Since my wife has a very hard time walking now we don't go out as we used to go out. I don't go to bars and drink. I don't own a snowmobile, or a motorcycle, or a boat, etc. My only hobby is music.

Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
