I like this song.........even though the Pollyanna glasses have definitely come off. Some people (my wife too) tell me they don't like my sad songs. But as an observer of life, they find their way into my songs. I like the honesty of this song, the beautiful images and the song itself.
Matt, the inputs and outputs listed here for the RME are indeed analog, but it makes sense. The outputs are XLR and go to studio monitors. I frankly never record with BiaB so I often don't list anything for inputs. But Analog 1/2 are the XLR mic inputs and I could use them if I wished. (When I record through the RME on my DAW I'll use either the XLR mic inputs (Analog 1/2) or the ADAT (which is of course digital). "Analog 3/4" are 1/4" inputs.)
Happy New Year, Sol. Yep, relatable for sure. I like the write and the arrangement very much. Your songs make you so much better. I like that. Right, no one, not even family, think much of the songs I write. But if I didn't write them, they wouldn't like me as much. hehe Excellent vocal and backing vocals. Yep I like your song, Sol.
Thank you Marty. Of course I would like my family to like my songs but.............you can't have everything. But then again, I really don't know everything my wife does in the garden. So, I'll take the compliments when they come. If people like them, great. If they don't, that's okay. Happy New year.
Don, I viewed these as three different songs: 1- the first was just a bed for a lead, just as you said. It was OK but not what I like in a song. 2- the second was a dynamite instrumental. Outstanding guitar chops. 3- the third was a completely different song. It was excellent. For me it was a close call between #2 and #3 but I choose #3 as the best. FYI - I lost 9 friends during that war. Those whom I knew all came back with serious health and/or mental problems. We buried the last one I knew last year. Thus #3 struck a chord with me.
It's not difficult to find software that can play all BIAB chords, but the question remains: why can't BIAB do this? It must have something to do with the style, right? A jazz style will recognise the chord notes if a jazz chord is used. So doesn't the test with the chords tell us everything? This is the musical programming of BIAB; I can't think of anything else.
FWIW, PGMusic has stated previously that giving a nod to BiaB is OK, but they have also asked (on behalf of the artists) that individual players of the generated tracks are not given credit. Hope that makes sense.
Saving that for my Grammy acceptance speech—but only if a BIAB assisted track wins.
What another wonderful gem you've created, Brain. I've heard it many times already, and each one is better than the last some how. Just brilliant. Well played, too. This should be heard the world over.
Thank you, Marty. Hearing that from someone who knows this problem firsthand really warms my heart❤️
Thank you Marty The guitar solos were brilliant, took a while selecting each one and I think it eventually came up a good variation….a lot were rejected! Yeah, I am worried that by using BIAB that there are skills I’m not focusing on and letting Tech take control of it them, solos are a prime example. There are things like drums, bass and to a lesser extent keys, that I will struggle with and gladly let it BIAB create. There were rhymes there but I was trying to make them obscure or in irregular places. Thanks for listen Marty. I appreciate your thoughts. Kind regards.
@Matt: RT:s unfrozen. The audio track freeze button doesn't do anything, i.e. no change can be seen when toggling FYI: this existing song has never had any frozen tracks. @Noel: Will check, but this is an existing song and should load as it always have ... This problem happened with the first song I loaded after the update/installation, so a little bit disappointing start with 2026 version It has now happened with a couple of songs.
Sounds old, but not in a bad way. Reminds me of something the Beatles might have done, probably because of your vocals and the way the bass line walks down in the chorus. Pretty good
Hi Mikael, I don't use loops so I'm not sure if what you are experiencing is expected behaviour or incorrect behaviour. I've had a read through the section on loops For this reason, I've passed on your question, and a link to this URL, to the development team. After reading about loops on pages 120–121 in the 2026 manual, I can see differences between the two pickers. The standalone Loops Picker is the one that allows a user to set the looping information for imported loops. This information is stored in a .bt6 file that BIAB uses to when generating the loop. The Multipicker Loops Picker does not allow looping information to be created. Have the loops that you've imported had their characteristics set? If these settings are not done by the user, BIAB will use default settings which means that the loops are neither transposed nor tempo-stretched. Regards, --Noel
Sol, this is an excellent song and a super tribute to your marriage. Your vocal is fantastic and the backing tracks fit it perfectly. Outstanding mix Loved it

I loved this song as I can really relate to it. This year we will have been married for 59 years and together for 62 years.
Joe, an excellent song that I can relate. Great mix of your instruments and BiaB's instruments. Great vocal and excellent lyrics. FYI - I have a 2010 Buick with 130k miles. It is one major repair bill from being traded in for a new car, probably a Suberu. Also for small fluid leaks there are additives that may help, especially if the problem is a gasket problem. I have used them in other cars and they did work for me. They got me over 300K miles on a Chevy!
I'm always impressed at how well you do using slower BPMs. My 2 slowest are 90bpm. That guitar solo was so excellent I wanted to hear more, but my only criticism is that I'd liked the song to have ended with a 2nd chorus as the single one was really good.
Thanx Chay. Yes a second chorus probably would have been a better ending. I'm glad you liked my guitar chops.
Freaking excellent rhythm section in this song! Love the whole arrangement, mix and production. Great song! Superb in all aspects! Very, very well done.
B.D.Thomas, First of all, you've done a super job putting this together and ending up with a perfect sounding track! As for those who have a problem with forum members posting material with limited BIAB content, they should accept the fact that BIAB is a musical tool that can play a major or minor role in getting what we hear in our heads into a tangible form! On several occasions I have posted songs with maybe 1 realtrack involved and played the rest of it myself and possibly added a third-party loop of some kind! As for the use of AI in the production for me the same logic applies as written above! While I personally have no desire to use it, I certainly understand that some of us feel that the material deserves the best possible tools available to get the desired sound! You always post excellent work and this is another example of that! Take care, TB
Thank you, Torrey, for listening and for your really kind words. And I completely agree with you: whatever a song needs or deserves is right!
Hi floyd. I remember this one. It is a terrific write and a really fine production. You really have a flair for creative and timeless lyrics and super-duper productions. I listened to both versions and I like both versions. Good luck with your album. You deserve all the recognition and acclaim that I'm pretty sure will come your way. --Noel
Thanks, Noel. I have to tell ya...I really miss your presence (on a regular basis) here in the Showcase. Remember those days when there were only about 7 or 8 of us hanging out here? Good that it "exploded", of course. But also good that there are some good people who have been constants through all the comings-and-goings....

Thanks, Scott. Good to see ya back around...been a while....
I had completely forgotten about this song, listened to it again, and fell in love with it all over again. Very atmospheric, and the bridge is ace! Lots of emotion, both from you and from Dave. And, finally, someone who shares my taste for unconventional outros Excellent!
