Ron & R.W., Excellent balance in the Mix. Sounds GREAT. Cool BAND. Nice use of BIAB. LOVE your vocals and harmonies. Very cool lyrics. And melody. All aspects of this are absolutely Delighful. Many listens. And well worth it. (playing again as I type...) I know it's cliche, but what the hell....One Of Your Best! fj
Thank you, Floyd. Can't recall the last time anything I touched was deemed "delightful". But I'm...DELIGHTED! Appreciate the listens, positive thoughts, and that SoundCloud eventually started working again.
I'm glad you like the song. What I've done is upload all my songs that are done on band in the box to suno. That's because I think they turn out much better than with me doing them. I think the musicians are better. The arrangements are better and the singers are better, so I usually do it first with band in the box and then upload it to suno. But I still have all my songs where i'm singing on youtube , but they're the older youtubes.
Sorry I've been absent folks, There's a lot going on with family that's taken all of my attention. I even have a new guitar that's sat untested for a couple of months. I've dropped in occasionally and listened when I could. I hope to get back to regular habits soon. In the meantime, stay safe & stay well. Cheers ray
The "Thin prints on stone, fresh paste, a biting sting. The same tight lines, enough to make them cling" is my way to try to tell about propaganda. It is about posters hanging on the Wall Perhaps I should try to make it more clear.
In a million years, I would never have guessed that is what you are talking about. Absolutely yes, you should clarify. Help the listener understand.
Hi BD. Once again, you have cleared the "this is brilliant" bar with plenty of room to spare. I absolutely LOVE what you've done. The arrangement, the production, the vocals are stunning. You had me completely mesmerised. What really appealed to me was that this sometimes sounded distinctly 3/4 and other times it sounded like a slow 6/8 (especially when the snare drum was on the first beat of alternating bars). I thoroughly enjoyed this audio/visual journey. --Noel
Wow, what a review. Thank you so much, Noel! In terms of timesig, it's amazing how easily a 3/4 time signature can feel like 6/8 when you simply add an alternating kick/snare pattern. But to be honest, it wasn't a conscious decision, I just played what felt best. As is often the case, I don't know what I'm actually doing But I'm always happy when people like you, who know way more about music theory than I do, explain to me what I've actually done. I'm here to learn!
I've heard of socks and hops, even hock shops but never heard of a Sock Hop in the UK. I can imagine the dance though and I'm sure we had similar. Nice relaxing tune. Vic.
The thing with RB is this. Yes it does things somewhat different than most other DAW packages. Some of that is due to the background of it coming from Powertracks. Which to me was a very similar package to what cakewalk was 15 years ago. While PT and RB have not been developed at the same rate as say a sonar or Reaper it is still very potent when utilized properly. Yes it should have the fancy tools the others do. But not one of the other products have the BiaB engine backing up a simple functional DAW. Sure you can add the BiaB plugin to Reaper or Studio one and generate tracks but then the process moves on. With RB you can generate tracks and listen generate again, select a section and regen until you get what you want. Any section or the whole track or the whole song. People say that you can’t comp vocal tracks WRONG! You can. You can’t use third party plugins WRONG! You can. It simple does a very solid job. Yes it needs some refinements however it gets work done! Simply and with a flair. RTs, RD,s, loops, midi, all works great. If you like the workflow elsewhere great then no worries. If you want to create in BiaB and move to multitrack recording and still have BiaB tools at your fingertips then you can right there in RB just open the .sgu file there and go to work.
“Experts share insights into the camera light With sponsored answers, dressed up as facts Since when does truth start needing a brand? That doesn’t make sense, their version of right” Man, that immediately grabs you and doesn’t let go until the end of the last note. Ron so well expressed our feelings that it is hard to add anything. You so eloquently stated the situation in a thought provoking manner. And without getting shrill or going over the top. The vocals, the arrangement, the mix, the vid images … everything is outstanding. We hope many, many folks hear this. J&B
Thank you, Janice and Bud Shrill and over the top might be coming soon
Just so used to going to the file menu to export in other programs. Could just bring up the the little export box that pops up from the MTR button. I'm sure this would be an easy one.
Thanks for your quick reply. To continue using your preferred workflow, I agree with Rharv, RealBand is the better solution. I personally don't use musicxml but I do a similar operation of your 1 and 2 with midi files. Using your workflow in BIAB, you will need to add a step 2.5 to sync the Chord Sheet and audio. You use the Audio Chord Wizard to sync the two. In the situation, you're experiencing, a freeze button would not help at all. Rharv's suggestion will probably resolve your issue.
Dreamtonics Synthesizer V 2.2 now supports choir mode. They also offer three different choirs SATB voice sets. I don't know if you've tried creating SATB choirs with your solo artist, but it is doable. It takes a lot more finessing of each individual voice in the choir. The new 2.2 Unison mode makes it easy to create a 64 person SATB choir, if you already have Soprano, Alto Tenor and Bass singers. However their new choir voice sets, which come with four individual Sopranos, four Altos, four Tenors, and four Bass voices, can all be multiplied 16 x 4 to produce an extremely realistic out-of-the-box choir, similar to how a [color:#000000]jenny mod download[/color] adds multiple features to enhance your Minecraft experience. If you're looking for a choir to join in on your song for Choruses, Bridges or Outros it's worth checking out.
That’s really impressive! The new 2.2 Unison mode definitely makes creating full SATB choirs much easier, and the dedicated choir voice sets sound like a huge time-saver for realistic, out-of-the-box results. Perfect for adding rich choruses, bridges, or outros to your songs.
Love this song Janice, bud and Peter. Beautiful lyric and vocals. The harp was a really nice touch. Boy Peter did some very impressive picking for the genre. Very versatile and talented guitar player. Super production, mix and master. All the small farms sites in the prairies are long abandoned. The land has been picked up by large farming operations. The houses and barns have blacken and most have some serious leans to them.
Thank you Scott! Glad you liked it and, yes, J&B certainly agrees with you about Peter. We see those leaning and collapsed barns every time we ride about the country side J&B
Hi mr. Snyder, Like, I think, all others wrote here; great lyrics and passionately sung! Were you hoarse afterwards? I liked your intro here to present your song. Very nice, cool and... with a very nice message! I think Noel, above here, wrote it very well. And Janne too, and Janice and Bud, and, and But I can't say I enjoyed. My heart had to cry... Hans
Tasty one, Floyd. Love the melodic way you're working through the changes, and that TONE is really nice, too. JUST ENOUGH grit to make the stops thicken up while leaving the single note runs with a cool hairiness (doubt if this is the correct technical term, but you'll probably get what I mean). Love your bends as well. This must have been a lot of fun to play. Fun romp for the listener, too!
Hi Mick, Love the feel happening on this one, great groove, love your vocal too. I agree with the other comments about the accordion, all the other instrumentation sounds good though. Good song, enjoyed.
It's a beautiful song. Great accompaniment and very well sung. Laurent
Appreciate that Laurent!

Yeah, even after working with Chris for 10 years she still blows me away! Thanks, Brain!

Thanks. Vic: I was the front of house sound engineer for the The Dubliners, when they had a concert in Helsinki, Finland. One of the band had drunk too much strong Finnish beer and I had to keep his mic down - only put him into his floor monitor for him. Still they sounded good and could play their sets without no one noticing anything special in the audience - despite that one new comer of the band who hardle could stand on his stool. Great guys all. Real Irish spelmen.
