Hi Marty, Man, such a great song! Love the lyrics, very clever. Great job on the video too, watched it for the first time last time last night. Loved the "clips from the bands past performances" bit especially  Thanks to everyone that mentioned my bit.

Hi Ron, Man, 1981! Nice to see you bring this to life, good song, very well written. Seems your brother has had the gift of producing great lyrics for quite some time! Love your vocal, and nice to hear you playing the fills too, very effective. Enjoyed!

Bob, it seems you keep getting better and better! Just a wonderful song, great vocals from you and Joliz, and I love the sound of that Martin. Your song brought back many memories of listening to music late at night in the mid 60s on my transistor radio when I was supposed to be sleeping, there was only one AM station that played POP music where I lived at the time, and it was anything that was popular; you would hear Dylan followed by the Four Tops, then the Beatles, then the Stones, etc. And then a little later Hendrix and Cream. No thought about genre, it was just great music. Man! Good times

Hi Floyd, I'm very impressed by your musical journey over the last couple of years, first with the piano, then the lead guitar, and now this! Sounds good to me, nice lines, and nice transition to the guitar. Guitar sounds great, nice tone, good lines. Have you explored any of the bonus preset packs that you can get for S-Gear? Some are not usable (for my music) but some are pretty good.

You don't sound out of your comfort zone to me one bit, Vic, this is excellent! You are such a great lyricist, one of the best here in my book. Track sounds great, good choice of instruments and good mix. And your vocal sounds great too (I'm hearing the new mix). One of your best songs I think, loved it!

Dave, You, Chris and Marty have done it again. This is outstanding. Great song writing, funky bass line, excellent guitar tracks, excellent vocals, and all wrapped up in a first-class production. In addition, that groove is superb! Another brilliant remix. I really enjoyed listening and watching. --Noel I appreciate all of that, Noel, thanks!

Sorry, Andrew. I forgot to list the instrument used on that track. The instrument for the bass solo (playing melody line from BiaB) is from a plugin of Komplete Kontrol called Reggae Bass. I compressed it strongly to get it heard.

Don’t see that you mentioned what DAW you use. For Logic Pro, the Mastering Assistant does a pretty knock out job itself. Certainly pro level. If you have a Mac it’s definitely worth the price of admission.

We are late to the party and great accolades have been posted. Accolades that we 100% agree with. Enjoyed the backstory. We are always fascinated by the time and creativity you put in your productions. Simply epic. We can see a huge stadium crowd transfixed. We cranked it up as loud as Bud's ears will allow. And the soundstage on our monitors was remarkable. Crystal clear with really impressive dynamics - not an easy combo to achieve. Well done! J&B

Very imaginative, Hans. Reminds me of something Kate Bush would have done. Those backing vocals really add something to it. Well done. Vic

Hi J&B. Once again, you and Peter have shown us all how 'the blues' is done. What an introduction! And when Janice started singing, floyd's comment from a decade or more ago sprang into my mind.... "Janice could sing the phonebook" and if she did, I would still hang on to every syllable. It is easy to hear that this genre is home-base for you all. Everything about this radiates expertise, enjoyment and sincerity... and then some. I thoroughly enjoyed listening and letting your musical journey lead me along. --Noel

Hi Torrey. What a fantastic song! From start to finish this is professional. Your song songwriting, arranging and producing shine brightly. Those opening two lines of the chorus, "The heart of the problem is the problem of the heart," really captured my imagination. These are not only powerful lyrics because of the very clever word-play, they are also powerful because they resonate with one of Life's universal truths. This song is yet another very impressive musical creation. I really enjoyed listening. --Noel Thank you Noel for all those encouraging words! I always appreciate your supportive comments! TB

Bob, an oldie but a goodie that I not only know but played a number of times. This is a fantastic version. Great vocal and scat. Super harmonica lead. Loved that walking bass. A fantastic cover.

This is how I feel when I'm in nature or watching a bee collect nectar or looking at the mountains here in Virginia. I really like the melody: engaging with a slight touch of awesome mystery.

Gorgeous piece, Mario. Like floating in a gentling swelling ocean. Look out for the seagulls! All the instruments sound great. I especially enjoyed the strings and oboe although the bassoon is quite cool, too. But it all works perfectly and sounds great. You're amazing! Thanx Ron for this great review. I would like to write more but a flock of seagulls just stole my laptop...................

We're all old here (so they say) First time I think I heard him was in Traffic, that was a long time ago. He certainly lived the life he chose and it was a pretty good one. Caught me by surprise, so I thought it worth mentioning.

Old news, some of it inaccurate. Intel support ends this October with 27. Rosetta 2 support actually ends October 2028. "after macos 27" in that context means macOS 28. Plenty of discussion about this on the Macintosh board.

Hi Michael, Which version of BIAB/RB do you have? I have BIAB/RB 2026 and the chords transfer okay. If you have background and/or soloist Realtracks in the mix, these tracks do not work with microchords (only 'rhythm' and bass tracks work). Tracks 5 and 6 on the image below are Background tracks and the wave form shows that these have not been played in triplets. In my version of RB, the second note of the triplet is not generating its full musical length. This can be seen in the image below by the gaps I've highlighted. I have reported this to the development team. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32575&filename=realband - microchords.jpg) As a work-around at the moment, I suggest that you save the audio files from BIAB and then load those audio files into RB where you can mix them and get the performance sound that you would like. --Noel
