Hi Andrew. What an interesting songwriting challenge. That chord progression is certainly something that would never had occurred to me, but you made it work very, very well. There is a lot of musical creativity on display here in the writing and the arranging. It's great. The backing, the mix, your vocals and guitar work (bass & rhythm) were excellent. Thanks for the detailed notes and graphics, too. They were very interesting to read through. --Noel

TuneMonger, Very nice song. Cool jazzy, bluesy and swing rhythm drums. Really good vocal. Nice blues harp solo with good tone. Other instruments, especially the bass, were great. AB

"That's a great approach" The approach is horrible. A twisted, archaic and totally unintuitive workaround. Mario, I know you gave your best. This is not aimed at your generous help, but I reserve the right to check sanity of the current process. Perhaps we got what we got, because people were too "forgiving", praising things that needed to be addressed properly instead of offering possible solutions and holding back on much needed critique. P.S. Noel, I believe you are confusing MIDI vs Super Midi. Misha my friend, I agree with you. It is another horrible workaround that, like you indicated, should have been corrected decades ago. I was just trying to help the OP get the job done today.

Laurent, thank you very much! I enjoyed doing it! ---------- Hi, Noel. I'm delighted to see a post from you and that you enjoyed it! I think this is the best mix I've done so far, even if I do consider the core words and music to be 90 percent of any song. Everything else is cotton candy on top. Arranging and mixing it is a good deal of fun. ---------- Hey, AT. I've seen you post here and there. You're certainly ahead of me with your musical knowledge. I taught myself how to read music and some music theory...just enough to be a nuisance! It's one of those songs where I knew after coming up with the first 16 measures, wow!, this one's a hit! Thank you very much, it's wonderful to see this from you! ---------- To all, cheers, kind regards, and many thanks! John

Yes, they were moved a year or so ago when I was running out of disc space. After I moved them I had to redownload them all again to get Install Manager to show Installed. It was after the upgrade to 2026 that they reverted to the current state. It has either reverted to the original install location or some other factor caused it to forget the current install location. I was hoping to avoid downloading them for a third time. Many installer programs can scan a directory to tell what is already there. I was hoping that there would be an .ini file or .plist that could be edited to point them to the current location.

Hey, Mario, if I purchase the Orchestra bundle does it come with a free copy of Mario-in-a-Box? Just kidding. These instruments sound GREAT when you play them.

Hi Mario. This is excellent listening! I read your comment about using the E Arabian scale to create this melody. I have never before heard of this scale until tonight. Thanks for the lesson  I really enjoyed what you did... very creative, great backing band, and very entertaining. As always, your playing is the star of the show. --Noel Thanx so much Noel. I do have a ton of fun with BiaB!

Simpler but innocently romantic lyrics. Melody is pleasantly smooth and the chord progression feels modern and ageless. The band is excellent, I really enjoy how the big tom drums provide the catchy groove. And those lovely guitars... so nice pop sound, especially when mixed this perfectly. Guitar fills add small, but important ingredient to the whole. Vocals are tender and wistful, harmonies are sweet as always. You have made consistently high quality pop songs over 40 years, songs that don't get boring even when played on repeat, amazing Janne Hi, Janne. THANKS for the nice review! I like those toms, too, but received enough feedback that I changed the drum arrangement to give the listener some relief. Have to admit, it does change the original dynamic significantly, but I think the resulting mix is dynamically superior while not giving up too much. Such is art. Even though these lyrics are over 40 years old, and others I've posted have been up to 50, we've only been turning them into songs for about ten years. But we're making up for the lost time, or trying to.

It’s been awhile but we remember those late night radio treasures. And we’re happy to know they’re still around. We love this: “Rayna on the radio Don’t let go don’t let go All those songs that couldn’t stay Found a place to play” D-18 goodness in your hands for sure Simply great tracks wrapped in the perfect mix. Love the pedal steel with Joliz’s vocals. It was the perfect choice. Enjoyed it! J&B

That’s a cool mashup of RT’s and they fit the nostalgic theme very well. Janice was reminded of how wind chimes can mesmerize her and get her lost in memories. The vocals are superb. And so are the mix and the vid. And it's very cool to hear a rare forum waltz. Enjoyed it! J&B

This is a really beautiful serene composition Mario. I've listened to it several times and keep getting more from it with every listen. The string arrangement and cellos really work that sense of peace and ease. Flawless as always. Love your work Mario. (well, it's not work is it? Anything you enjoy isn't work) Kind regards Thanx so much for these very kind words.

Hi floyd. This is EXCELLENT! I love what you've created. I always love the feeling of relaxation, and the vibrant images of sunshine, some kind of alcoholic drink with an umbrella sticking out of it, and a Brazilian beach filled with people in swimming gear that always appear in my mind whenever I hear a bossanova. (I think I must have listened to too much of "The Girl From Ipanema" in my early years.) This is such a satisfying musical journey. Your sense of rhythm, melody and arrangement really shine at all times. --Noel

Hi Ray. I listened to this a couple of weeks ago when it was still a work in progress. I really love what you've done. You and Steve have created an excellent song. The song and the video are very engaging from start to finish. I really love the way that rhyme has been used in these lyrics. The lyric-flow and the lyrics-fit with the music are very skillfully done. --Noel

I want to remove metronome. The problem is in preferences, even if I unchecked all the boxes I continue to hear it. The manual for Mac don't write anything about that. Is that a bug ? Thank you François

Hi BD ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32604&filename=mega awesome wow (small).jpg) The presentation and production of this song is nothing short of an explosive listening experience. My mind is still reeling (in a really good way) from the impact. Throughout, I kept thinking that this must be what "Pop-Opera meets Rock-Ballad meets a very inventive and musically fearless arranger and producer" sounds like. I was spellbound. It was a thoroughly thrilling musical roller-coaster ride. Absolutely brilliant and amazing. Standing ovation! --Noel

Wish we had a +1 button like every other site +1 . . .  I have wanted to "like" or +1 so many posts here . . . That would wipe out the User Showcase. Work for days on a song hoping for constructive comments and instead? Well it’d be the FB thing where you need not even read the post to respond - I mean react. Forums used to dominate the music world. I’m glad PG Music has kept their’s alive. Pardon the ole guy ramble. 😀 +1

Imagine your BIAB composition as a layered cake. Next level of arrangement should easily allow you to take a slice of that cake and place it exactly as it is anywhere in the composition. Unfortunately, Biab doesn't allow that to happen. In my humble opinion, when you make a selection in Chord Sheet and you want to carry it over (cut/paste) or "copy to" location: It should have an option to copy all of the data in that selection, including all midi events, all audio data, all frozen sections, and carry it over or duplicate exactly as it is to any place of your tune. P.S. Going further, "freeze slice" would be an excellent addition to that feature too, which would let you freeze entire block of the song, while having the rest in liquid state. I think the benefit of this is self evident.
