Cool saxes, Steve. It's also cool they still call it Hooch. Man, you sure do play well together --even the solos.  Very cool video too. The one listening is acting just like I am here when he enjoys the other's solo. So creative througout song and video. I'm guessing on Sunday's you jammed. Thanks. I think the term "Hooch" is here to stay. We had other names for it, but just to crude to post in a public forum. And yes, I do a fair amount of playing in church.

A wonderfully wistful song about old memories. I only know barns from my vacations in my youth, where you could lie in the hay and hang out with other people out of sight of your parents. Beautiful, exquisite vocals by Janice, some really cool fills by Peter that I could never play, and really well mixed and produced. Excellent in every respect ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Thank you and glad to hear you found it relatable. Your comments on the vocals, guitar and mix are what makes it all worth while. We greatly appreciate them! J&B

The Gemini review(?) sounds like AI gibberish. I went to the link, so you don't have to. This YouTube channel has 1.9K videos. They all appear to be BiaB videos of jazz backing tracks. So you see a band and a scrolling video of the chord view changes, but there is melody. This channel has been around for nine years. The videos had not been updated for five years until two weeks ago, when "All of Me" was added. If you have one of the Real Book BiaB collections, or if you like entering your own changes from a (real) Real Book, you likely don't have a need for this.

Fun "nerdy"/philosophical lyrics, lots of things included, so thoroughly pondered topic. "You try to find a trace of yourself online/But now you have been deleted" what a scary thought, but these Moltbook days this could be a story of an AI agent  and for some reason, I'm now thinking the mystery of the deleted pair of socks in the washing machine Interesting arrangement which adds to the mystery. Great mix, nicely panned guitars. And the vocals and harmonies are guaranteed top quality. Janne Thanks, Janne! Had to Google Moltbook. Whoah! That's a THING??? Huh. I need to get out more. Glad you enjoyed the tune!

This is a great groove. I love the lyrics and the whole presentation. To my ears, there's a hint of British rock in this production. It sounded great and I really enjoyed where you took me. Your singing was full of confidence and it was very easy to hear all the words Thanks Noel! Glad you liked the lyrics - they were a late addition. I just brain dumped; word-smithed to get the flow and variation in rhymes; and made some of the lines have a more positive outlook. Confident singing - I tend to take the approach (despite not having the best vocal) to say 'What the heck! Let's go for it!'. Very nice job on this song. I like the way you approach the vocal here. A really solid performance. Great video as well. Thanks Bob. I thought that falsetto note was going to be tricky but after a bit of doubling and a very minor pitch correction, it came out well. Super tune, Andrew. Very cool Bowie-esque classic rock vibe with tons of hypnotic hooks. The progressions are quite nice, too. Really like your vocals on this one and the streamlined (to my ears) vocal FX chain. Nice use of BiaB instruments, and those soloists do sound great together. Another shiny little pop gem! Thanks Ron! I have a project template for any new songs with FX that have worked already in place, then I tweak them (or remove them) according to what the new song requires. Not foolproof, but it helps with my memory. Being a 10 pound pome (assisted passage to Australia from the UK; pome = Prisoner Of Mother England - a reference to Australia's convict past, but not us here in South Australia - we were a 'free settler' colony) in the mid 60s, we were immersed in British rock - more so than American - which was a later discover for me. It helps that I still have residual south UK accent that comes out when I get excited. I agree with Noel, it immediately says "I'm British". Good vocals with a nice Bowie touch, and the chorus has a super cool chord progression. I love it Hi B.D.! It should say "I *was* British." Ha ha! Thanks for noticing the chord progression - always been interested in good progressions from an early age. Great chord structure here! I also thought the 2 guitars in the solo worked so well I'd liked to have heard more. Hi Chay! Same comment to you about the chord progression. I am going to consider extending the solo. Great work on the guitars. I agree with WaoBand, we would have liked more guitar solos. Great energy. Hi Laurent! OK - if I get two more votes for a longer or additional guitar solo, I'm going to do it. Where would you put the additional solo? Thank you everyone for listening and your great comments and suggestions! Andrew

I have not used it much in BiaB, but I have in Realband. The PGMusic videos pretty much show how it works. I made a tutorial video when it first came out, but theirs are much better.

The Altar of Your Heart So this started as more audio tracks but ended up being only two with me singing and playing the fingerpicking alongside a bass player, the bass is a simple one that keeps me hanging in there timing wise. I wrote and played all the guitar work; it is only one track and was done live. Thanks for listening. Donny G

Very nice, and thank you. You mention BIAB version 2026, which is good. For example, from 2018 through 2025 versions, Ctrl+T had a different function. I’m not trying to be picky, because that is the only example of a changed meaning that I can think of right now.

Hi, Laurent. As others have said, it nails the groove. Suno did a great job with the vocals and horns. Excellent guitar as well. You extracted the horn MIDI in BiaB? Interesting. Pro mix, sounds excellent. Thanks David. Yes, I extracted some brass parts from Suno to MIDI in Band-in-a-Box, but one part was unusable and the other required a lot of editing. I think Suno Studio allows direct MIDI extraction of tracks. Laurent

A showcase of the beauty of BiaB in talented hands. Great band with the build and instrumental changes. We could further parse things out but one word will suffice for us: Sublime. Perfect for our rare snowy morning. J&B Thank you, J&B!

Thank you very much Chay for listening and for your constructive comments - funny how we all hear things differently, I have a feeling the top end of the EQ was too high overall? Will look into it and see if I can come up with a useful correction for what you're hearing! - at my advancing age it's also likely that I may not hear what you can hear, so I'm grateful that you pointed this out! Best, Carl

Very cool! The Suno sax sounded great, so it would have been nice to hear it again at the end along with (but not at the same time as) the guitar solo.

Like the band, especially the accordion. Your vocals sound good - not weird at all. Your video shows that Chica was having as much fun as those she was dancing for. (Janice said she envisioned Charley dancing as she listened.😊) Nice mix and bass glue. FUN! J&B

Hi, B.D. Excellent sound, but the vocal is uncomfortably crispy to my ears. Then again, I'm getting over a cold, so that might have some influence. Other than that, nothing bad to say: good write, good production, sounds great. Well, the emphasis on the first word feels like it falls on the second syllable instead of the first, because the second pitch is higher, which is weird to my brain. And that's being really nit-picky.  Nicely done! Thank you for your really detailed feedback, David Your ears are still perfectly fine, the vocals are indeed a bit (as you put it) "crispy". But if I make it as perfect as possible (which I actually did in the first mix), the song loses much of its impact because the singer completely loses her youthful innocence. But don't hesitate to point out such flaws, often they are NOT intentional, and I am always happy to learn something.

Brilliant. I echo Andrew's comments. I could go on a rant about the U.S., but I will spare you. Lovely and emotional melody. Thank you, Scott Yep, we should compile a list of rants and send it to those responsible. Or we could turn it into an album...

Well, I would not say I was disappointed. But I recognised that there where almost no new features added. Disguised in a clever wording: " continues to deliver..." As for storing external files in the session folder, I learned that myself only recently. But that was good reminder. It is always supportive to share such Tips. There is so much to know!

A very well-written, positive lyric. The music is melodic and catchy -- could easily become and ear-worm. Great job, Noel. Hi Brian. Thanks for dropping in! I appreciate your time and comments I think that with all the mayhem that abounds in the world right now, it helps to remember that there are still many things to be amazed by and thankful for. Keeping an eye on those things helps me cope with all the other messy stuff that's going on. Thanks again! --Noel
