Beautiful, smooth Bossa nova, well written and arranged, and despite your complaints that your Suno vocals aren't perfect, I actually think they're pretty good and perfectly support to the song. Enjoyed my listen [Linked Image]

We live in a confusing world, and everyone tries to be the master of manipulation. Thank you for your thoughts and kind feedback, Torrey [Linked Image]

SoundID is indeed more user-friendly and delivers better results, but it also does not allow manual correction of incorrect lyrics. If you could correct misheard song lyrics, it would be almost perfect. I also like the fact that they offer a perpetual license.

Bar-based Section Letters to work with both RealBand AND BIAB Files, Please BluegrassPicker 8 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box Wishlist Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I posted this in the RB wish list section and I thought I'd do a CC over here.... Bar-based Section Letters are great and for me are one of the important benefits of both BIAB and RealBand. However, they are not compatible. When I create a song in BIAB with the BBSL's showing my Verse 1, 2, 3's and my first letter hints for instruments in a certain section and save that song in BIAB SGU format, the BBSL's are gone when I load the file in RB for further recording and development. So then I have to go back through and re-tag my BBSL's before I do anything else. If at all possible, PLEASE make the BBSL's compatible with the two programs that I enjoy using - BIAB and RB. Those BBSL's really help when recording multiple instrument tracks while watching the CHORDS screen. Thanks much. BluegrassPicker

Hi Marty. I loved it! The whole presentation shines with energy – lyrics, melody, performances, arrangement, production. My compliments to Dave and you for your real-human tracks. Both Dave's guitar work and your bass playing are excellent (as always). To my ears, this is yet another great collaboration. Musical excellence! --Noel

Re: Excellent YT video making the case for Reaper rharv 9 hours ago Forum: Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production
Hey! I already admitted I use other products, I was just offended by someone saying PGMusic doesn't even offer a standalone DAW. They do. Like every other DAW; choose what works best for you for the need. I have paid for other DAW licenses, so it's not like I am 'stuck' on RB, I just hate when people say "it's not a DAW" because it is. So is Powertracks. That argument is dumb, and I am no longer participating in it after this.

Re: Some Average Mojo (featuring Peter on guitar and harmonica) Noel96 10 hours ago Forum: User Showcase
Hi J&B Once again, the two of you and Peter strike gold. I love the sound. Everything about this production sits really comfortably in my heaphones. I can't believe it's been 10 years since this was written. I love the opening verse. It's perfect for setting the scene for what follows!

My new favorite of yours [Linked Image]
THANKS, B.D.! Yes, I'm lucky indeed. Always loved songwriting, but lyrics were my Achilles heel. It was a happy revelation when I realized that my brother was writing VERY cool lyrics, and had been for decades. Thanks as well for the compliment on the vocals. The harmonies and BGVs come pretty easy, but it takes a bit of work to squeeze out the lead vocals. Would probably be easier to program a vocaloid, but I like the challenge, and the results are generally satisfying. Will take your advice and stop complaining about the bridge...but it was a journey. smile Glad you liked the tune!
