Ya know what would be cool, Donny? Have someone video you busking. I like this Reggae feel. Your voice cracked? Ha, I write that off as feeling, man. Yep, you sound tired, and it's ironic that the song is called Spunky... Hey hey, thanks, yea you probably don't remember, cause you are so busy dude, man, anyway if you ever get a chance check out my channel. Love ya man. https://www.youtube.com/@donnygoriginalmusiccha6891 Donny G

Hi, Knee. I forgot about this site because, after a few days, I didn't see any response that the Forum had accepted what I posted. Then I looked at my bookmarks and clicked on it out of curiosity and was surprised to see this! Thank you for listening! Since I have very bad physical coordination (I just use a guitar for composing tunes), one of my Broadjam buddies, Art Corey, introduced me to Band in a Box and that opened up making music for me! I'll get some more posted. I think I have my homework cut out for me as I'd love to hear what you and some of the others here do as well. Thank you much again! John

Hi Rharv, maybe my memory is failing me but I thought I used to minimize these windows in previous versions of RB. Cheers, Mike

Hi BD. This is superb listening. I love the music and lyrics and the way you have arranged them. As I listened to the lyrics, I couldn't help but reflect on the turbulent times of today. Currently, it's a world run by the mega-rich at the expense of the ordinary person. Fortunately, here in Australia the impact is less than it is in places like the USA, the UK and the Middle East. That said, we do have some noisy groups of people who try to control what we say and do. This song really resonated with me. Very impressive writing, creating and producing. Your use of AI was superb. Everything sounded authentic to me. --Noel

David Bennett certainly brings a significant skill level to his productions. This one is definitely another case in point.

Hi, Brian. I was super curious about how the oboe was going to fit into the mix. No more curious than I. About half of the VST instruments that I use through Kontakt suddenly disappeared a week ago, and my current choices are somewhat limited.

True I also found the idea that you make the B-side Unlistenable to encourage playing the A side Of course, that’s no longer an option

Hi, Mario. Interesting! I assume the Solid State Strings are where the "shimmer" on the strings comes from. Nice work on the brass. The bit at 3:00 veers into a 1950's sci-fi theme, which is cool.  It would sound more orchestral if the instruments were all in a "orchestral room", with brass in the back for more reverb. But it wouldn't necessarily sound any better that way.

Hi, Scott. You're right - it started out with some resemblance to the blues, but by the end those ascending motifs took it into a different direction. Cool.

Not exactly my favorite genre, but you did a really good job, great arrangement, very tasteful choice of instruments, and the saxophone was THE perfect choice. Very convincing singer. I could easily imagine listening to your song in a bar while drinking a good French wine. Thumbs up ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

If all else fails (until the GUI gets updated), I was thinking you could create shortcuts to your songs in Explorer and copy or move those shortcuts to a folder in a location of your choosing called [songlist1] or whatever. Then if the checkbox in the BIAB options>preferences>display setting to allow multiple instances is unchecked, you can click on the shortcuts in the folder that you made and they will open in BIAB. Use Alt-Tab to switch between BIAB and your new folder. Just a thought...

Nearly happy R.W. Davis lyrics have the adverb removed when sung by such a happy vocalist. What a fun song, Ron, and I really like the vocals. Cool harmony. Good bouncey feel carrying a great band to the finish line. Excellent mix, too. I appreciate your consistencey, Ron, and have no doubt that you will resolve to do whatever needs done. Heck, you're already doing it. Ha! Thanks, Marty.

Spaghetti Western meets Ireland - you had me right from the intro, Hans. I really like the story, as well as the way you tell it. Who wouldn't be tempted to just leave this mess of a planet behind? Very good production (your new studio seems to be paying off) and really good vocals. Enjoyed my listen

Excellent tune Lee. Excellent vocal and backtrack. Cool production. Dialing in the mixing is an art in itself. One of my favorite things to do. Gives the fingers a rest from the guitar playing. Some basic thoughts. Vocals dead center, drums and bass dead center. All the rest volume balancing left and right with there own space. One you get it close then create a template and you have a great place to start time. Ray is an excellent source for mixing. He has great ears..

Thank you Noel, Yes the long haul road trains here are impressive indeed. I did have half a mind to include some obscure Aussie place names in the song at one stage, if only to confuse some of our international members. Glad you enjoyed it and that it conjured up some great imagery for you. Kind regards.

I updated all Motu software and spent hours studying this. The new Biab runs very fast on the old Dell tower. I got a great price on the new Dell with I7 and 32 gig but will not set headphone out to 44,100 hz. I have it packed and am shopping back today! Thanks for your interest!
