You always make me smile, Bud. What a great mix. 17 tracks? i use 16 or17 just for drums. Ha! It's not the number, it's the quality and i'm always reaching to be more like you. Thanks for the inspriation. Janice, you sound so good and even sound like you're wearing dreads. Yep, the cajon always adds a special feel not possible with any other instrument. Peter, it's really amazing how you bring the song to the highest level of perfection and feeling. Dig you guys. You are too kind - but we’ll take it.  Yeah Janice started on the dreads when we came up with the notion … took her a while to adapt. Glad you liked it and also thanks for the cajon mention. Much appreciated! J&B

Nice one, Marty! Very engaging instrumentation anchored by your groovy bass. Love your vocals! Wish I could do those little yodels. They sound SO cool... Very nicely mixed, too. Great development of your narrative. Think you did a superb job connecting the dots. Hey, it's only rock'n'roll, but I like it!

Super tune, Vic. That's a high energy opening, and you keep the energy dial turned up between 10 and 11 the whole time. Great vocals! Really nice instrumentation, especially the intertwined guitars and the mid-song solo. The songs over now, but my foot's still-a-tappin'... Excellent!

You are a great storyteller and together with your warm grandfatherly voice (love those low notes) and your steady bass playing, the combination is a flawless one, no need for a patch... other than for the sympathetic bumpkin. Great band, the clarinet solo sounds like made for this song, nice effects. Fun and upbeat song that wipes away all the worries in the world and will be hopefully played till the cows come home. Janne THanks, Janne. Hopefully even after those cows come home for good.

Laurent, WOW this is so good. A big band swing style with vocals that immediately made me think of ol' Blue Eyes to mind. Super big band backing tracks and AI singer. Great job mixing AI and BiaB, the mix is perfect. IMHO this is your best to date. Thank you so much, Mario, for the comments. Laurent

Nicely crafted tune, Laurent. Definitely captures the spirit of the City of Light. Super production, and the vocals sound quite fine. To my American English tuned ears, "the streets of Paris" (plural) would sound more natural than "the street of Paris" but that's just me. Americans also place the accent on the first syllable of "Paris". But we're not as cool as Parisians for sure. As you know. Usually don't watch videos, but we just got back from a week in Paris, so gave it a go. Made me want to go back! I did laugh out loud at a couple of the AI flubs, but it didn't spoil my enjoyment of the video, or your song, in the slightest. Paris is the best. Thank you for the comments, and you're right, "streets" in the plural would have been more appropriate. I only realized it at the last minute when I was posting. Laurent

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

What a beautiful melody, very solemn and sublime. And your guitar playing is heavenly, delivering emotion and peace in its full glory. Very smooth backing band, I can picture the arrangement waking the flowers to bloom after a long winter. Janne

Hi Mario. The drums seem a little lost in amongst the swirling tracks but everything's available for experimenting. What is the essence of coal anyway? Vic

Cool and jazzy, so unexpected I wouldn't have recognized the composer, but there's a recognizable signature in your Synth V voice melody work And that's not a bad thing, vocals sound very natural and those harmonies are really sweet, glad to hear so many voices sing together smoothly. The arrangement is enjoyable, old but warm without modern plastic feel, something from the era of What A Wonderful World. And the lovely solo by the horn is a perfect match for the style. Janne

Hi, Janne. The progressions were a bit challenging to my lazy ears, but I love the sound: big chorus, chimey guitars, smacking drums in a huge space. Cool! Liam sounds great in the lower register, and the production is excellent. Thanks David for your kind feedback Nice to give you a challenge with my strange progressions  And glad to hear you liked Liam's lower register, the two-octave melody required finding the right key, and Liam was able to handle the low F# and high F# notes successfully in this case. Janne

Hi, Mario. The track seems to have come together well. ( See what I did there? ) I'd have put the drums more up front - it sounds like they're being played in another room or something. I would also would have liked the mix to place the instruments into more of a "space" which would help with the realism, but that's a minor nit. Nice melodies! Thanx David. I did have problems mixing the drum tracks. "The track seems to have come together well. ( See what I did there? )" Yes, you coalesced your review of my song.

Beautiful instrumentation and arrangement. It again reminds me of the better soundtrack music of 60s movies. Your cruise so well out of your comfort zone! Thanx Chay. I really like most all genres of music from the 60s, probably because I'm old!

Hi Mario! This piece has an excellent melody to the accompaniment you’ve chosen. Also like the time when the synth swells (that would be the ‘coalescing’?) and those ‘stabs’ towards the end in the B section. Again, listening while writing, we’ve come back to that wonderful melody motif. I reckon with the famous rising string line, this could EASILY be a Bond 007 theme. The only contribution I can make to the mixing is, with such a fancy drum track, I think it needs to be more prominent, but not so much that it overwhelms, but this is a very small point in such a good piece. Well done! Andrew Thanx Andrew. I did have trouble mixing those drums. I did have them louder but didn't think it blended that well. I did try a number of volumes but maybe I just didn't land on the right one.

Very nice Mario! And ditto to what everyone else said. Soothing and harmonic while at the same time sounding a little discordant (jazzy). Good blend of all the instruments you used. You created a beautiful jazz symphony. Thanx so much, I'm glad you liked it.

....................................... It's the most natural way to expand library. PGM's Super MIDI packs are awesome, but there simply not enough of them and they are crafted in a similar manner as RTs. For something specific as Intros, Bridges, Breaks, Endings, proper MIDI loops can fill this gap. I agree.
