Hate to leave you hangin here Mario. Your offering is work comment. This was an interesting download. Fact is I don't much carefore these Synths. The sound is too synthetic and not organic - does that make sense? Not crazy for the sound of a sine wave or a LFO (Low-Frequency Oscillator). I do of course love the pricing model. It was easy to install and delete for me. I do want to offer up the only Synth that I have invested in. It is Unify 2. Its is not free, but it is cheap. It does have all the "synthy" stuff I don't care for, like more knobs than I know what to do with, lots of complexity and synthetic sound, but... it has a hugh array of presents many of which have very organic sounds. Unforunately addons cost separately. But still not all that expensive. Also great ability to layer sounds.
Hey mon this is super, reggae with a message other than pass it on! Super vocal Janice. Peter that was one hell of a guitar track - brilliant job. Great mix Bud. As usual I loved it
Thank you for mentioning the vocal, guitar and mix. That covered all we could’ve hoped for. Very much appreciated! J&B
In Ye Olden Times you could check out videos and figure out parts by watching the player. What I learned from that video was that in order to play fast mandolin licks, I need to move my fingers in slow motion. On the other hand, the dead-eyed zombie on the drums did a pretty good job staying in sync. But when ride hits, the splash cymbal magically moves as well - just like in real life? I can accept having synth voices singing songs - because without that, you've just words on paper. But watching AI people "play" the music is where my brain draws the line. It's a step completely removed from reality: the images that you're looking at literally have no relation to the sounds you're hearing. Are you trying to convince your viewer that there's a real band there? With the ability to create videos of virtually anything, it seems that having a locked-down camera of a fake band is the epitome of ick. But I'm an old luddite, so what do I know?
Yeah… I found the video unwatchable for that reason. Don’t need to be a Luddite to know crap when you are looking at it.
I could well be confused. Confused is not an abnormal state for me sometimes. Seriously there are times it is very difficult to put into writing what you're thinking just as it's very easy to misinterpret what you're reading. In either case it seems I'm not making myself clear so I'm not contributing to the conversation. I'll bow out and observe the thread.
Oh, what a wonderful winner you have with this gem, Laurent. You're right about the Ai "liberty," but it's still a great tour of that most wonderful city of lights. An incredible write and production. Outstandin on so many levels. Loved it.
Thanks Marty, I mainly use Suno as a genius arranger with a base created in BIAB. For me, it's the best compromise. Laurent
Thanks for asking - Check out my "Preview of Current Projects" link in my Signature below. That is a current work in progress for "Someone like you" a Van Morrison cover. I am also working on "Streets of Arklow" which is in early stage. I have two others which will hit my SoundClould in the next two weeks aligning with my Birthday.
+1. I also want an option to hide all those styles that I never will use. (I am surprised that it has not been done long time ago, it must be trivial to implement, but very helpful to the users)
In the "Notations Window Options" the "gear wheel" top row of the notation view and of the lead sheet view (beside the print button) there are some options to change the layout of the notation. In the notation view for the Bass track, try to change the track type to bass (first option). Then if needed one can transcribe the notes so they fall on the bass clef, also one can set the the split point for which notes to fall on the bass clef. However I don't think it is possible to remove the empty G clef in the notation view ( I am not sure). But that is possible in the Lead Sheet view. In the Lead sheet view open the notations window options and select Bass clef. (some of the first options). For the Drum track, open the notations window options in the notation view and change the track type to Drums. That should switch the notation to drum notation (at least for me) (it is all a big mess, and very time consuming. One would have thought that since the system knows what instruments that the stem midi tracks are intended for, it should automatically set the track type and a suitable notation for that instruments)
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.
Thanks for your kind words Arri. No-one does country 3/4 better than you my friend! regards Izzy
This is super music. Great AI vocal. Fantastic arrangement with an outstanding bass track. That Flugelhorn was a great choice and everything was mixed to perfection.
Hi, B.D. Well. I'm only two months late to this f***ing party, but I'm glad I got on before the train was gone for good. Excellent production all around - especially the vocal performance.
I can't comment on who is mad and who is not, but I have used these new AI features in BIAB and I can say that they do work. I will add that I don't use them because I have better tools to do stem splitting and transcriptions. I can't tell what you are doing or what you are doing wrong from your description. I do agree the descriptions of the actions are less then intuitive. Which prompts are you using. There is some degree of redundancy in the menu systems. You just have to keep at it.
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.
