Andrew, a story set to music that I can relate. Great vocal, backing band, mix, but the lyrics took it over the top for me. I believe some of your struggles make ours. A great song.

John and Bob, this is fantastic. A great vocal Bob. Your guitar chops are second to none. John, you did a fantastic job of blend Bob's tracks to your BiaB tracks. IMHO this is one of if not your best to date.

Mario, you have a wonderful way of working with different styles and genres. This one is like a journey over the sands of a desert. The vocals really compliment the style, instruments are very well chosen. It's a very nice listen. John Thanx John. Playing in wedding bands for many years have exposed me to many different genres of music, more like a jack of all trades but a master of none. I also like to push BiaB boundaries.

What a nice tune for the day of rest, no hurry, just calming afternoon while watching slowly transforming cloud shapes at sunset. The instrumentation is superb Mario quality, that ethereal piano sounds very sweet and smooth. The sax has very nice nostalgic tone. Your guitar playing is masterful. Magical chord progression. Jazz that is easy to receive, I just want to immerse myself in the carefree world of your music. Janne Thanx Janne I appreciate your very kind review. I'm glad that you liked it.

Shigeki, another outstanding song from your Repertoire of Masterpieces. The pianist and singer are fantastic together. You did an outstanding job blending them with BiaB tracks.

Awesome. Recognize Scott from Pentatonix, but don't know the other two. The tenor is SOMETHING. Love this style of vocal arrangement/performance.

As we said over at YT, "Great idea and lovely in outcome." Your arrangement, guitar chops/tone and the mix are all stellar. Nice group of Biab session players too. Turning a kid's tune into this is creative to the max! Excellent! J&B

Another D[irect] C[urrent] zapper of a chord structure and also a great production. A truly enjoyable romp of a song, though I'm not quite sure what it's saying about the UFO theme. I've been interested in the subject for over 50 years and I've met one of the earliest British researchers into it who became cynical about the whole subject, but I've found over the years that there's oodles of fakery in books on the subject and also on popular TV shows. I now doubt that we've ever been visited by aliens - there are alternative perspectives on and explanations for valid sightings, etc - and the only semi-interesting idea one guy put forward is that a minority of sightings could be human time-travellers (tourists) from the future. I now just have one book on the subject, "The Field Guide to Extraterrestrials" which lists countless assumed contacts with ETs, but if every one of them was an actual alien then we're being visited by hundreds of alien species and that's just not possible. For a comic view on the theme I recommend Country Joe McDonald's less than 2 minute song "UFO". It's a hoot! But the important thing is that your song is an excellent hoot, too!  Thank you, Chay! So, MY interpretation of the song works on two levels. First, it riffs on a speculative outcome of Area 51 becoming declassified and the public finding out aliens in flying saucers are a real thing. Second, it lampoons a few obvious co-conspirators in the alien narrative, notably the press. Or it could be gibberish. I can see slender tendrils of connective tissue between the UFO story and the fantastic universe you've created and presented here as songs. "UFO" is a hoot of a short song for sure. RIP Country Joe...

“Something calls, all along It calls out loud, it's sounding wrong Not quite home, feel me drown. It's a different thread Someone bled Life in Blundertown.” We always like a “connect your own dots” write. Excellent! Your narratives often get us thinking about how situations evolve. Since we’re so late to the party we listened to mix 3 and it sounds great to us. Steve’s vocal and guitar are strong and your bass is fine in chops and that very tight tone. Janice especially likes his phrasing on the choruses when he gives the emphasis to “near.” The BiaB tracks worked very well. We look forward to the master and vid! J&B

This is the philosophy on nearly all the quotes we have posted all throughout our kitchen. 😊 “I’m gonna take today and make it mine Take today and make the sun shine” Your folder definitely held a gem in this song. And it’s a rallying cry for us to all get on board the positivity train. Great group of BiaB session folks. And an excellent mix. Sounds great on the monitors. More please! J&B

Yes. There's the 'individual' SongPicker, which you can open by shift-clicking the SongPicker button (the button that has an image of two eighth notes, to the left of the song title), and there's the SongPicker that's part of the 'MultiPicker' dialog, which you can open by ctrl-clicking the button. By default a click without a modifier key will open the MultiPicker, unless you've changed the default. I tried shift-clicking and it opened! I even tried closing and reopening to see if it was a fluke, but the SongPicker opened. Now I can click without the shift key and it still opens. I don't know how that fixed anything, but now it works! -It may be that there is some kind of error trying to open the folder you have set as the home folder (default is /Applications/Band-in-a-Box/MySongs). I never changed any default locations, but if this happens again I'll try some of the other things you recommended. I have no clue what ultimately fixed the problem, but thank you to all who chimed in to help!

I understand very little of the Welsh language, although my grandmother tried her best to get me to speak it when I was a kid. Then my parents moved up to London and the link was lost. Another thing that never was. Vic

Hi BD. Your title brought to mind a line from Roger Miller's song "The Code Of The West: do unto others before they can do it to you." I couldn't find my pass to get through the Google gate but I assume it's a f.....g good song as you're known to be handy with that sort of thing. Vic

I use a PC with Windows 11. After a recent update my songs are all going into a BB folder on OneDrive. It's not convenient as I can't easily see my recent history or quickly access my songs. I'd like my songs to be stored on my C file with an option to back up toOneDrive. Would appreciate, easiest route, step by step guide to sort. Thank you.

Working backward … Every USB 2 interface introduced since 2020 is far superior to any FireWire interface, last built in 2012. The current ones are all using CL chipsets marketed under many different brand names with 192/24 or better performance with near zero RTL (round trip latency). Brand really doesn’t matter (shhhhh… don’t tell the marketing departments but it doesn’t) so buy on the feature sets. I regularly tear interfaces apart to see what’s under the hood for (oops, there’s an NDA). The ones I’ve kept are the Zoom UAC-232 (2 channel 32 bit float under $200), and an M•Audio AIR 192|14, my daily workhorse. The AT 2020 is pretty good. Not as sensitive to sibilance as that NT1. I have no love for microphones that require a de-esser plug on all vocal tracks. Zillions of folks making great vocal tracks without external mic preamps. I have some but use them only with my ribbon mics on acoustic upright bass.
