I was always anti-disco as a youth but you created it here, no question. Excellent arrangement. Vic

I like to use BOX.COM to send audio files. Not limited on file size like email is. I can provide a link to the files for people to listen, or I can share the folder with a friend to collaborate on a project, allowing the other person to download and upload the files as needed.

Rharv, see PM. Goofey, see PM The only place you will see the Name of the Soundfont file (.SF) is in the VSTsynthfont64 GUI. BIAB will show that your Default Midi Synth is assigned to the VSTSynthfont64 in the mixer on each track it is used on and in the Midi/Audio Setup window.

Hi Floyd! Interesting reading of the context and origins of this song. I agree with Bob Dean about the Pat Benatar vibes - which is good. I’d love to hear the flow of songs in order, to hear how the music tells the story of the musical. In that sense, would it become a concept album? Andrew Thanks, Andrew. Perhaps, as we get close, I'll post a complete song list. That list would not necessarily tell a complete story without the necessary story/dialog to direct it. But as the story unfolds, all the songs do deal directly with the content...and fit perfectly as it goes...

Gorgeous, Bob. Like eavesdropping on someone's most personal, private thoughts, but not in a creepy way at all. Super vocals by you and Joliz. Your voices mesh so well. Love the backing track. Had to relisten to that BiaB guitar track in BiaB; it really is quite lovely. Your piano track pairs with it, well...as well and your voice with Joliz's. Makes for a shimmering stereo backdrop to the song. The BiaB flute lines fit perfectly as well. Excellent, EXCELLENT work here. Loved it.

Beautifully done, Mike. You do some amazing work with BIAB. Nice arrangement and production. Good ebb & flow... The change-up in the end is nice! Good mix. Sounds good. Enjoyable listening. fj Thanks for having a listen, Floyd, and for your generous comments. All the best, Mike

All fine. I actually agree that, with many things to try, yours should be tried first. All situations are different and some of my tips are pretty good.

Incidentally, another trick(?) that might be handy, is that one can also search for the name of the musician who played one RealTrack and often can often find the same musician with the same instrument playing in a different style.

Bud mentioned that when he drove through NY City in 1968 at a stop light somebody looked over and called him a “cracker.” Guess it was the GA tag but, hey, it was a VW van!  Peace bro. The soul band works a charm, especially the bass. Your vocals sound great and you always have a wonderful arrangement with bgv’s. They are extra special here. As always you called in a great group of BiaB session players. And you mixed them to perfection. Cool write. We know family and friends who dig the big city but us? Heck we live in the woods … not even a small town. Well done! J&B

Hi Opur! As soon as I heard the first verse line melody, I knew I was in for a treat! And those dance sections … I like the shift to ii - IV - V (if I am correct - I could be wrong) which HAS to resolve to the I chord of the verses. Lyrically, I was so hoping that the neighbours window was closed because she was standing at HIS front door about to knock on it and formally introduce herself, but alas, a darker end ensued. Love it. Thank you for bringing back swing! Andrew

(I love all your remastered versions, because now I have the chance to discover all your fantastic older songs that were released before I joined the forum) A great song with a super mix, tight bass, and tasteful guitar playing. And as always, Chris is the icing on the cake. Enjoyed my listen a lot PS: thanks for your production notes. It seems we have similar philosophies. I sidechain/duck everything and his little sister, and I’m known for having more buses than audio tracks

BY. You can interface a USB device to an external PA system you just have to set it up correctly. Why did you think this wasn't possible?? Some USB devices have multiple outs. OM.

Hi Mario! I like the steady rhythm/beat throughout this piece, but my favourite is the strings throughout, but particularly the ‘drama’ they add around 3:05 - that’s a good section. Andrew Thanx Andrew. I have been experimenting with my string sections so I am glad you noticed them.

floyd...brilliant write as usual and a super mix...your use of Brent is what made it work...it was seamless and feels like he walked into the studio and laid down the tracks for you...your lyrics are always conversational and "seem" effortless and the marriage between them and the melody work flawlessly together...more than well done!

Torrey..."The heart of the problem is the problem of the heart" Wow! man you just wrote the perfect line to capture everything that I (personally) would want to convey in a song...I love everything about this one, the lyric, the style, the vocal and the arrangement...for some reason it had kind of an Eagles vibe to me...there were times in the melody I could hear Glenn (may he rest in peace)...I hope that's a compliment...I meant it to be...you never disappoint brother...well done good and faithful servant!
