It appears the solution is even simpler in that I changed the bar settings-># of beat this bar-> to show 2. The rest then plays in cut common. and when changing that to 4, it plays normal 4/4 again. Bernt

What I would do is to look for a style that gives the correct feel for each section of the song. I would then use Bar Settings to change from one style to the other style when the time signatures change.

Hi, Ray. Blundertown's got a good, bouncy feel. Looking forward to hearing how it turns out. Ta, it was less so until the "jaunty" intro & solo were added. The final chorus solo is a little more tense and I wrote the lyrics to reflect the change.

Hi Ray, Blundertown - Outstanding bass line and a super groove. Nice guitar chording and leads also. You vocal is really good for a demo. Super mix. Psych B - Another super bass line. A fantastic intro. Great lead guitar. A great start and I'm sure that the finished product will be fantastic. Thanks Mario, The bass part for Blunder was fun to do.

Hi, Ray. Blundertown has a cool vibe and sounds like it's shaping up nicely. Really like the bass on this one. Also like the melody of the scratch vocals and the lyrics I can make out. Assume the ending is a WIP as well. Psych B also has a cool vibe (ok, so I think you have a LOT of cool vibes). The opening blossoms nicely. That string pad provides a lot of glue. Very nice lead and rhythm guitars. Not hearing a lap steel, but might not be listening for how you're using it. Super arrangement. A grand, cinematic feel to my ears. That's a great ending. Thanks for sharing, you're doing some nifty stuff. Thanks DC, What are your thoughts on the ending? Lap Steel is pretty quiet & subtle - most prominent at the end as an FX thing.

https://soundclick.com/song/15134775 I wanted to write an early Beatles song, or a Merseybeat tune at the very least. BIAB did its part well, but SUNO would not give me a British vocal. Took the wind out of my sails. But it's not too bad, I think. RealTracks in style: 2576:Bass, Electric, SurfRockSyncVintage Ev 165 RealTracks in song: 2575:Guitar, Electric, BackgroundSoloist SurfRock16thsBrent Ev 165 RealTracks in style: 2574:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm SurfRockBrent Ev 165 RealTracks in song: ~405:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120 RealDrums [in style:SurfRockIsland: a: Ride, Snareb: HiHat, Snare Vocal: SUNO (I only ever use SUNO for the vocal. SUNO copies MY melody. I write the song and produce it with BIAB, hope that's very clear to everyone! Lyrics: All the pain and heartache That you gave to me Someday will come back to you Just you wait and see All the guys you're seeing Do they know the score? Seems there's always someone Hanging 'round your door. Oh I loved you girl I wanted you for my own, yeah, yeah, yeah I didn't want to share, You didn't really care, I can't stand being alone aaand All the pain and heartache I still feel inside, What's a guy to do If he's already cried Every time I see you, You're with a different fool, Is that how you like things Or just your way to stay cool? Oh I loved you girl I meant it that's for sure yeah yeah yeah I can't seem to shake it All I do is fake it Tell me what's the cure YEAH! Guitar break Oh I loved you girl I didn't want to let you go yeah yeah yeah My heart is split in two I don't know what to do But to sing this song of woe, oh oh All the pain and heartache Deep inside of me Will it make me stronger Or bring me down to my knees Outro All the pain and heartache Hate that pain and heartache Too much pain and heartache So long pain and heartache Goodbye pain and heartache, All that pain and heartache

"Feel my fire in your soul Rivulets of gold" Very good song, and I really dug the lyrics! Of course, a lot of pre-christian religions worshipped the sun. And then there's Stonehenge. But yes, since then, we've taken it for granted. Great vocal as always.

I don’t remember how it was handled that far back. In recent years, when you do a Return to Factory Settings, you are first prompted to Save your settings (which you can then load back). Contact PG Music Support on Monday to see what your options are from the older version you have.

Is there a way to restore/reload a previous back up from the return to factory settings Biab 2015 Windows 10 version? I noticed it says build 7, so I assume I have 6 previous returns possibly available? I do have my original usb disk if all else fails? Somehow, I've messed up some settings that probably need reset and I'd like to go to build 6 if available? Thanks, Trax

Love this, Noel! "Whatever arises Whatever surprises" Absolutely uplifting song carrying a message I needed right about now. I suspect others are in need of it too. Thanks. Hi Scott. Thank you for your visit. Much appreciated. Thanks too for taking the time to pass on your impressions. Those two lines, "whatever arises, whatever surprises" are my favourite phrases from these lyrics. I'm really glad you noticed them. Thanks again, --Noel

Beautiful, I love everything about your song. And all your work with the Synth V singer really paid off - beautiful, warm, and authentic vocals. And thank you for describing your process in such detail. I just LOVE reading these "behind the scenes" notes ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Hi BDT. I have just finished listening to "Down My Personal Hell". Honestly, my song pales in comparison to your work. Thank you for having a listen and for taking the time to pass on your thoughts. I sincerely appreciate it  All the best, --Noel

Hi Noel! An interesting idea for a source and you turned it into something completely different. I wouldn't have known if you hadn't mentioned. The result has turned out really well. About 12 months ago, I had toyed with the idea of using the implied chord progression from the first part of Claire de Lune by Claude Debussy to see if anyone would recognise the source - not for deceit but as an experiment, because the chord movements sound very distinctive. I guess I've ruined the surprise of that idea now, so I will hold off for a while. Anyway, you saw yours through to fruition with a good result - well done! Andrew Hi Andrew. Thank you for listening and for your words I appreciate it a lot. Good luck with your creation. Debussy's Clair De Lune is quite an amazing piece of music and I will definitely be waiting to hear where your work takes you. --Noel

Hi Mario. Musical creativity and musicality definitely stand on centre stage in this composition. The arrangement and the production are outstanding. You have quite an amazing imagination for soundscapes. I envy your ability. This is epic. --Noel Thanx so much Noel for this fantastic review. I don't know if it is ability or the fact that my brain is a half a bubble off center but I do like to do instrumentals. I'm glad that they are being received so well, both here and other sites.

Scott, that is an absolutely incredible instrumental. Brilliant job on everything. Loved it PS - I use Studio One Pro 7 and I have no problems recording MIDI. Thus far I have recorded up to around 25-30 MIDI tracks with no problems. If you want to carry on a conversation about recording in Studio One just PM me. I would be happy to help.

Hi BDT, This is spectacular in every possible way. I really, really love your arrangement and its production. You sure know how to get the absolute most out instrumentation, edits, dials and sliders. And your writing! Wow! These lyrics and this melody are first class. You are certainly a musician who radiates musicianship in all that you do. These vocals sounded human to me and were a hand-in-glove fit with the mood of the song. Perfect! --Noel
