Hi Sol. Wow! This is great all round! It starts out as a big band love song then, pow! That third verse really caught me off guard. Either way, this is very well done! Great vox!

I never drink when I'm in a bad mood, so your song is right up my alley. It's really well done, has VERY good vocals, and is well recorded and produced. It's definitely radio-ready ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Brian, thanks so much for your nice comments. I'm glad you like it. We all need a good drinking song now and then. lol Hi Paul, Good song, the lyrics made me smile. Pro sounding track, well produced and mixed. Is this you on the vocal? Nicely done. Thanks much Dave! I'm glad you like it. Yep, that's me on the lead vox. My grandkids thought it was funny that, "Papa lost his shirt".

Awesome production and a very, very solid write. Good song structure. Most interesting. I still don't know what to think about AI music and AI vocals in particular, but I truly enjoyed my listen.

thanks for suggestion. I already have Melodyn on this track to pitch correct. I was told it was in Key of Am, but that was off when I added an Organ and Bass to play along with the guitar - in fact both original Vocal and guitars (the only tracks on the old master) were out of pitch. Melodyn did a good job fixing that problem. But I didn't even think about using it for the wow and flutter. I am pretty confident Isotope RX will fix this (I have seen what that can do in the past). Turns out I can get a free 10 day trail. I may do that if no one can help here. So I just tried in Melodyn - no joy. Made things worse! Fact is I don;t really know what I am doing in this case. I watched a RX video on the topic and will try the free trail.

[quote=Notes Norton But what does sports have to do with education? [/quote] I do agree that in the US (can't speak for elsewhere) that too much emphasis is placed on sports and not enough on education. And we do have massive childhood obesity and diabetes problems that proper exercise and sports could help address. But there are no silver bullets, the big problems we have require big solutions.

Hi Torrey, Yes, we did a song called Goodbye many years ago. Very different than yours of course! Love your melody lines, and that bass line is fabulous. Not too shabby on the guitar either! Excellent vocal! Good song, enjoyed the listen! Thanks Dave! Your comments are a bright spot in my day! TB

Yes testing is the best way. The debate I’m going through is are the choir voices worth the extra money compared to the solo SATB voices I already own for my use cases.

J&B I'm so used to hearing you folks release something upbeat (often with a swing beat) and was expecting the same here! I was pleasantly surprised to hear this beautiful, soft flowing song that has been wonderfully produced! This is probably my favorite vocal performance from Janice out of the many, many songs I've listened to of yours! Such a beautiful delivery from start to last note! Peter provided excellent support on guitar! 5 Stars! Thanks, TB

Floyd, Amazing, wow, fabulous and every other complimentary word I can throw at it! Your catalog of hit worthy material constantly floors me! You released this shortly before I joined this forum, so I don't recall hearing it. You are a constant inspiration to me to keep on plugging away and hoping to come up with something that inspires others in the same way! This is a smokin hot tune that hits all the marks and has been masterfully arranged and produced! Keep on rockin' TB

I have an an old guitar track with noticable wow and flutter. Best I see RX11 claims to address this but I don't own a copy. Any one able to take this track and try to fix this problem for me? You might try using Melodyne manually... I've had some success, but it can be somewhat laborious.

Andrew, This sounds like a lost Stones track that was meant to be a radio hit back in their early 80's resurgent period! Love the Keith Richards type rhythm guitar stuff going on, it really makes the song as well as the memorable melody flowing through! It's a really great sounding track that is worthy of many listens! Thanks, TB

B.D.Thomas "Is confusion part of the plan?" That is the key point I take away from the song! The question is, who is the main manipulator? Pondering that leads to more confusion which leads us all further down the rabbit hole! Lots of deep thought to be had pondering all the lines of the song! The music is wonderfully and masterfully arranged and produced! You have once again done a tremendous job with your work! Take Care, TB

Firstly, the excellence of the mix was immediately apparent. Every track has its place and the subtle dynamics work well with the open feel. Heck, it’s apparent just from looking at the SC waveform. FWIW this is the mix style that we always like. Excellent group of BiaB session guys. Seven BiaB tracks exceeds our mix pay grade Add to the above your nice instrumental and vocal performances. It was interesting to read about your vocal arrangement. Seems like that would take the patience of Job  Well done, J&B

Janice, Bud & Peter, This is such a beautiful "from the heart" song... I also have fond memories of old barns from when I was very young in rural Chepachet, RI. This song speaks directly to those memories. I love the way Janice delivers this lyric. Full of passion and melancholy. She is one of the very best singers around. I also love Peter's guitar lines and subtle interplay with Janice's vocal. Truly spectacular. Bud's mix is of the highest order. Crystal clear and pro all the way. This is one to listen to over & over again. Bob

Delightful! We can see it all happening so vividly in technicolor. One heckuva write. Rodney’s guitars sound great and the outro with the guitars and piano is excellent. You well know we love your vocals. And Janice especially liked your singing of “… and the whole world rocks.” A trifecta of soul and attitude and fun! Excellent work on the remix and mastering. It pops. Loved it! J&B

I've been playing with BiaB since it was on the Atari computer, and like it's PC-DOS counterpart, had only 3 instruments, only 24 built-in styles, no intros or endings, not shots or holds, no notation, a set, quantized drum set, and a lot of potential. Partly due to Peter Gannon, his employees, and both the hard and easy to please users, it has grown to the state it is today. I've watched it grow, seen both baby and giant steps, a few minor missteps that have been jettisoned, and am amazed at both what it has become, and how PG Music has kept it relevant and useful all these years. It's grown from a simple practice tool, which is why I bought it in the first place, to a fantastic music creation tool. And I'm also amazed that the styles and songs I and others wrote in the early 1990s still work in BiaB today. Well done! And keep up the good work.

You can always move the styles you are sure you will never use from the style folder into a new folder you create (so you don't lose them - just in case). Call it OutOfStyle or anything you want. Then re-build the style picker window. If you ever get curious, you can still manually load the style into BiaB and give it a listen. I'm sure there are other solutions to your question, but this is the first thing I thought of. Insights and incites by Notes ♫

<minor rant> Some people can write a great novel, without any formal “writer's theory” type education. Most of us cannot. Some people can paint great masterpieces without any “artist's theory” equivalent of education. Most of us cannot. Some people can write a great 3 act play without any formal “drama theory” equivalent. Most of us cannot. I could go on and on, but I'll spare you. I get tired of people trying to justify their reluctance to learn at least basic music theory because “so-and-so” is a great player without it. Most of us cannot. Do yourself a favor, and get a book, watch YouTube videos or anything else that can teach you theory. You don't need formal eduction, but you will do better with the best method of education for you and your situation. You will find two things (1) You will learn new things easier and quicker (2) You will be able to communicate with other musicians better because you will have a common language. Music theory is “the fundamentals” of music. Learning it would help even those who achieved greatness without it. </minor rant>

For bass it's much easier for me because all the strings are a fourth above, but on guitar they just had to throw in that B string! At least the 6 string bass has a C string instead of a B.  Having the top two notes B and E makes chords like A and E a walk in the park. But change the guitar strings to E A D G C F and see what happens to your chord shapes. It's not pretty.  I remember how I couldn't find any patterns between chords on the guitar, and then finally saw the "shift" that the B string did to the structure. I could suddenly see the E, A and D shapes were the same. Like I said, it only happens when I am trying to learn something new and I 'see' it on piano and try to convert to guitar. Once I have learned it, of course the B-E make sense. /plus it was meant as humor
