Brno, Nicely done. Very enjoyable listening. There is a joy-of-music in both your vocals and your playing. And those are paired nicely with the BIAB tracks.

I've played mandolins over 60 years now, but never heard it before in bossa nova! You also played it very well! Not an easy task! Over all very refreshing production.

Hello, When using Soloist to do a guitar solo I'd like to get a DI signal so I can use my own amp settings. Is this possible? I saw something for this in Melodist but not in Soloist. BIAB has so many things it can do. More tutorial videos please. Thanks, Bob

What a coincidence: I just watched a TV documentary of funk and start experimenting funk with an old cither tune from Finland. I'll post that when ever I'm satisfied with it. I learned that funk is so simple it's very hard to get the right groove into it: with the hit on first in 4/4 and not 2 and 4 as usually. But got the groove!

Reggae is a style where I always get stuck with the rhythm. Thank you for making me a little less ignorant with your explanations. I see that you're as comfortable with this style as you are with the blues. Bravo to the whole team for the great work. laurent Thank you for the very nice review. We’ve only done five reggae tunes but we do enjoy the genre. We’re happy you liked Bud’s genre explanatory ramble.  Much appreciated, J&B

Great to hear a country waltz for awhile. I like your composition, production and specially your vocals and those harmonies seldom heard nowadays. FM Radio play ready.

Rockin' rhythm and tasteful solos and I just love the vocals of Janice. I wonder if she good visit on one of my songs needing a female vocalist? I have done a couple of that kind of remote coproductions.

Hi, you all! When I read 'reggae,' I became curious. Especially because a country singer was going to do this. Well, I had been convinced of Janice's qualities for a long time, so I thought, this must be the 'superior' level of quality then. And it was! As Marty wrote, you could almost picture Janice with dreadlocks. And actually, I heard the atmosphere of 10CC in it too; amazing! I was surprised that you used 17 tracks for it, Bud. I usually don't get further than 12 or 14. And then I start to find it a bit excessive. Well..., my next song is going to use 34 tracks. I'm not holding back anymore!!! Peter played guitar on it very well too, even though it was a different genre. I want to hear a few more of these from you guys!!! Hans

Hi Vic, This is really something different then what I'm used to hear from you. Sharp guitar to give the accents, and good lyrics. They just kept rolling! In a way I had the same thought like Ray. A long intro, would that mean you made an instrumental? You? And luckily for me, it wasn't. What an energy that song has! Wow!!! I enjoyed it a lot, Hans

I've spent the last 15 minutes repeating the following operation: start bb press ai audio splitter transcribe to notation make selections: TURN OFF master, turn off create new song load the audio file and what this stupid thing does? it selects MASTER again. Spent 15 minutes forcing quit and starting again because I thought I was dreaming. Sometimes I'd shoot this thing with a cannon. oh by the way: ''transcribe all existing stems to midi on separate tracks Audio-Utility#4''. I mean, come on. Seriously? Who writes that gibberish? Not even a school dropout like me for whom English is a second language.

Hi Marty, as I already said on YouTube, it is a great song. Read what the others said about it again. That German guy, Brain, even wants you as president! I’m not against it! You need normal people and a normal government again. The world is getting crazier and crazier, but your country is winning. We are amazed at how easy it is to become a crook there! But I admire people like you, who don't do that! Although it is a crazy, good song! Hans

Mr. David, Hans, Janice & Bud, My heartfelt thanks for taking the time to listen and share your thoughts—your feedback, whether glowing or grounding, is always welcome and deeply appreciated. I soak up every word like a sponge, and your continued support is the quiet fuel behind my creative chaos. Funny enough, I seem to get more encouragement from this wonderful corner of the internet than from my own family and friends, who often brace themselves with a dramatic, "Oh no... not another one." <sigh> Cheers to kindred spirits and good ears, Izzy Izzy, I am glad I'm not the only one who suffers from the family! Afterwards they told you they listened to my songs, if I anounced them on YouTube. But my sons... So, your not alone!!!

This is the best free analog synth VST that I have ever heard. It emulates and expands on the Oberheim OB-X analog synth. It has a ton of excellent patches. No programing skills are needed. It may be the only analog synth you will ever need. I really like it. Notes: 1- If you are going to use it for commercial use you must buy it. If you don't make money on your song(s) then it is free to use. 2- It is not a GM synth. https://www.discodsp.com/obxd/

didn't read everything here, etc, but I thought, ok forget trying to build a drum track IN bb, exactly the way I want. Instead, just mute all the other tracks and set bb to play only the drums, say a 16 bar phrase, with A and B substyle change every 8 bar, for 3 choruses, THEN drag the drum track as a wav file and import it in the DAW, and I use whatever phrase AND/OR fill, by chopping up the file. I thought I would get at least a few different fills. It failed miserably. It plays the same two stupid fills, no matter how many choruses I had set. And wasted 15 minutes (that's a long time here) for nothing. Tried the same with the Logic Drummer, it blew everything out of the galaxy. In less than two minutes I had a full drum track for my project, with as many variations I wanted, with fills that not only are never the same, but that can be fine tuned until kingdom come by just turning a knob and moving a slider up or down. Oh yeah, I know, some realdrums have more substyles. Not for the style I wanted, metal or hard rock, even with the ultrapack +, my search in the stylepicker only returned about 7 results for the chosen tempo 65 BPM, ev16th, etc Well at least I know this other bb experiment doesn't work, that way I'll never wonder about it again. BB is only good for tracks that are 1 minute or less. Otherwise a ton of fiddling (that often bear zero results) is required.

The whole song reminds me of the old days and tours of Ireland, singing along with Irish folk groups. I like the gradual introduction of instruments. Refreshing. Vic
