John, Thanks for doing this. When things don't work in expected manner I usually think it is my fault - one of the hazards of being what is politely known as 'elderly'!

That's really nice of you to say, Torrey... thanks a bunch....

And of course, it's awesome. Your voice is great. That piano jam is something else. And the whole story...original as heck. It belongs on the C&W charts. Congratulations!
Thanks, Beth. You haven't been around much lately... time to hear another from you!...

Especially the last words; wow, beautiful craftsmanship (if you can say that)! And what Peter did with his guitar strings was pure magic. At the beginning, in between, and so on. Or maybe Bud created that magical sound with his magical mixing skills? No, seriously, I was immediately hooked the moment you started singing, Janice. And I also learned something: "They're hand-hewn beams." I didn't know what that meant, so Google told me it's something like Janice's craftsmanship, but for wood. Hans
Hans, thank you for your time to listen and write such a thoughtful review. Your comments about the vocals, the guitar, the write and mix are all greatly appreciated. Oh, and we are glad google helped out with the hand hewn beams! J&B

Re: Laptop Specification BluegrassPicker 1 hour ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows
I have my BB installation on a 1TB SSD which is separate from my boot drive. My BB installation alone is 250 GB. Also, when you get all done, I would suggest that you pick up a seperate external USB powered SSD drive to be used as a BACKUP. You can copy everything to it and then detach it so it is available to restore your BB songs in case your computer or computer's SSD crashes and dies. It DOES happen and it isn't any fun to lose everything.

My 2 cents is recording in any DAW is far superior to recording in BiaB.

Re: If I Had You (Jimmy Campbell, Reg Connelly & Ted Shapiro 1928) Brno 5 hours ago Forum: User Showcase
Thanks Andrew. Specially, because you got my idea of bringing this jazzy classic from 1920s to modern time with a groove R&B backing and rock guitar solos at the end. I listened those many fabulous versions of great singers from Frank Sinatra to Adam Lambert and my favourite Diana Krall. Still I bravely sang my own with this weak voice of an old man, since AI vocals are missing the human rendition, connection to the message and feeling of the song. Thanks for understanding that as well.

Re: My Song For You Noel96 9 hours ago Forum: User Showcase
Hi BD. Once again, you have cleared the "this is brilliant" bar with plenty of room to spare. I absolutely LOVE what you've done. The arrangement, the production, the vocals are stunning. You had me completely mesmerised. What really appealed to me was that this sometimes sounded distinctly 3/4 and other times it sounded like a slow 6/8 (especially when the snare drum was on the first beat of alternating bars). I thoroughly enjoyed this audio/visual journey. --Noel

"I'm Not Coming Back," a Motown/disco styled song John Walradt 9 hours ago Forum: User Showcase
I had this catchy Motown/disco styled melody since 1993. I was in Denver when a lesbian colleague told me about how her lover treated her and she decided to leave. I thought it would make a good story line for a song but I struggled with the words. I didn't like what I came up with so last year Robert Quigley went through line by line and came up with a terrific set of lyrics. He just rattled them off! I had trouble trying to keep up with copying and pasting what he was typing on WhatsApp! Marilyn Simone, who studied at Berklee, did the vocals. https://www.johnwalradt.com/music/songs/imnotcomingback-master_2026feb.mp3 Style is _SCHLGR3.STY (Funky Schlager) RealTracks in style: 1434:Bass, Electric, JazzFunkPoppy Ev16 110 RealTracks in style: 1408:Piano, SynthLayer, Rhythm Soul70sHeld Ev16 100 RealTracks in style: 1400:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Soul70sBrightSteady Ev16 100 RealTracks in style: 2406:Synth, Rhythm JazzFunkPad Ev 110 RealDrums in style:Disco^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:16ths Style is _FNKDNC2.STY (Funk Dance w/ Octave Bass) RealTracks in style: 2271:Bass, Synth, DiscoOctaves Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 1941:Synth, Rhythm, EuroDance ChorusHousePiano Ev16 120 RealTracks in style: ~1435:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm JazzFunkGroovinChords Ev16 110 Loop in Song: House-Techno-Trance\Trance - kit3beat135b ev16 tempo.wav I'M NOT COMING BACK Words: Robert Quigley, Music: John Walradt I’m not coming back I’m not coming back to you I’m not coming back What did you think I’d do?

Re: 6/8 time Fivehands 13 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows
Thanks so much. I'm going to check that out soon. I was using the Tonalic one month for a dollar and it was seamless with the project. But then the project would not open and the crash dump said the culprit was Tonalic. So I uninstalled Tonalic and then re-installed and it still would not open the project. Uninstalled again and got rid of the Tonalic instances in the project. I have another song with 4 instances of Tonalic and it opens fine. For now anyway.
