Hi Ray. The drums and bass sound about right to me. Lyrics are good. Not keen on that kazoo sounding organ thing. Vic

Oh my, now I can tune my cowbell to the key I’m in and stop using my RealTimpani VST to simulate the sound I’ve always had in my head but couldn’t achieve. This is truly a wonderful holiday gift! More!

Janice & Bud, Thanks so much. As always, we appreciate the kind words. Thank you also for mentioning the piano. I'm beginning to incorporate more of my own playing into these songs. Bob

My mind is TOTALLY BLOWN regarding the story!!! More than a brush with greatness. As to the song, I cranked it and had a good old time! Absolutely different for you but well done, mate!

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

Hi Matt, I couldn't agree with you more. There are so many features and so many ways of achieving a particular task before getting the tracks to a DAW. MIDI, XML handling are particulary helpful for me in getting between MuseScore, Live and Reaper.

"Sitting in..." has trouble rising about the end of the intro. After that this a well mixed and arranged classic of the Straubs. Fab vocal, smooooooth bass holding things together and Dave doing his usual support/starring role. ACE

Tasteful but not bland...urgent, intimate vocal, a hint of mid era Leonard Cohen in he melody & phrasing. Lovely guitar and Mr Bassman does his thing oh so well.

Cool. The harmonica works but I get what you mean and bit of old amp break would add some spice.

I'm unused to the aggression in a Noel song. It's a fabulous song...I'm not 100% sold on the synth lead vocal though - it's a bit distorted and suitably aggressive. Cool changes and good band.

Hi Ron, Very catchy! Man, such a great write. Band is perfect, great production and mix too. And I really like your vocals on this one. You are coming up with quite a catalogue of really catchy, unique pop songs and have developed a real band sound that is totally unique, and very good! Spot on the Wall started playing after this one, listened to that again while I was typing Excellent!

Thanks, I can get the demo or my song's chord to play the highlighted style. What I can't do is to preview/play the highlighted style without loading in into my song. Correct. But, that's actually the way it's always worked. It was done in the background. Referred to in this thread as a Ghost. Thanks for the feedback. Not sure which submenu you are referring to, but I have tried all the submenus and drop-downs. No worries. It's not necessary for auditioning styles like you're requesting. No, this issue is not resolved. I have been using BIAB for years (at least 10). Viewers of my posts should not only know that BAIB 2024 had this functionality, but previous versions had two play buttons, and this was great because one of the buttons (I think the green one) allowed for non-destructive playing/previewing highlighted styles playing the song's current chords. Nothing’s been removed. What used to be the play-over-chords button is now the Apply button, and Demo is still the preview with the Demo button.

Hi Herb! Great song and well sung and played. That mandolin that you kept from BIAB just kept going and provided a good foundation for the music - I liked the rhythm of it. There are many lyric lines to like, but one that stood out to me is ‘And this old heart beats steady where the sky and forest meet.’ Where I live in the ‘burbs of Adelaide, we have a couple of areas of native scrub within 1km from our home that have not been touched since time immemorial, apart from the odd walking track or fire track, and it’s very peaceful for the soul to walk through it from time to time. Enjoyed my listen. Andrew My morning walk in the woods, I have 28 acres with 2 creeks, with my dogs, is such a peaceful experience and a great way to start each day. It gives me time to think about the day and I'll often come up with song ideas. I'm glad you related to the song

Should have clicked this much sooner. Brilliant. "Really, who has the TIME???" Ha! Might want to add "SATIRE" to the subject line so this doesn't get confused with the stuff that only Reaper folks should watch. EVERYONE should watch this. Like the finished song. Sounds like a Bowling for Soup song in the vein of "1985".

Just a bit more on Jim's good advice. With the topic you mention, the "Most" option should do it. [The "All" option also affects choice of drivers.] Either one will prompt you to Save your preferences first, and when you get things where you want them, do a separate Save so you will have settings you can recover.

J&B IT may not be "everyone's genre" but it sure works for me! It amazing how 3 chord blues stands the test of time! Never gets old! That velvet voice of Janice's was the perfect touch here! You know a singer is good when they record doubled vocals and they aren't a distraction. They sit very well in this one. Peter once again laid down some sizzling guitar lines A very good, professionally done production that sounds super to me! Thanks, TB Thank you Torrey! This was only our second doubling attempt in all the years we've recorded vocal. It's quick and fun. Glad you liked them. Yes, Peter sizzled indeed. And thanks for mentioning the production. We spent a lot of time on the BiaB tracks. Hugely appreciated! J&B

Great backstory, performance and production. We just came in from a mellow coffee session on our front porch. Listening to birds and watching the new spring greenery was a perfect setup for this tune. Both your tone and chops on the Taylor and excellent! J&B
