I think DrDan is pretty close to the money here. Definitely try RTFS and reset your audio driver etc then try again.

Was this style in an earlier version? If so, I could try reloading the 2005 version and see if it comes up with that, but I thought the new versions didn't delete earlier files, just added to them.. I ahev thought about completely reloading 2026 and seeing if they turn up. Arthur, I suggest that you use PG Music's Chat window to talk to someone directly at PG Music. It is possible that the Realtracks you are missing were not included in the MegaPak. (The MegaPak does not contain all the Realtracks.) The Chat Window can be accessed by clicking on the blue circular icon in the bottom right corner of your monitor. --Noel

B.D, Every aspect of it is amazing. Your playing skills on piano, guitar, bass, and drums. Your ability to get AI to sing. Your ability to write lyrics in English, which is not your native language. Your ability to create videos. And your ability to compose and arrange music. I'm impressed by everything about those. Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi I really appreciate your kind words, Shigeki Adachi! Now I'm blushing a little. Thanks a lot for your detailed comment. Makes my day

I stand by my first impression on YouTube: it's a very, very weird song. I have no idea how anyone could come up with such an idea. But: I like it. In all its glory. It's different, but in a very good way, with lots of cool ideas. Mix/production is pretty good, maybe the vocals could be a little louder in some places, as they are sometimes a little hard to understand. But still, I _really_ enjoyed my listen. Good work ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

I listened to your song again and I like it even more. Of course, I don't understand the subtle nuances in your lyrics because my Dutch isn't that good, but with the English translation it works for me. You've added some cool sound effects that make the song much more interesting and work well. I agree with TuneMonger, your new studio is really paying off, your mixes are getting better and better with every song. Enjoyed my listens PS: It's always good to obey Marty. There was once a guy who didn't. He was never found

Beautiful piece, Chris. You're getting better results out of Suno vocals than I am. Is it possible to get a dry vocal with no reverb or other effects? That's one of my problems with Suno. I translated the lyrics and still wasn't sure of the subject matter. Two people sleeping together? A Sumo Match? Again, a really beautiful piece of music.

Hi Mario! Bob Dean’s use of the word ‘lush’ to describe your piece is very apt. Your soundscape made me imagine a tropical rainforest or even an alien one with all its sounds and sprouting of plant life. Wonderful to listen to. Andrew

Paul, what a great song Fantastic arrangement Loved the piano and your vocal Outstanding lyrics Your mix was perfect Loved it FYI - You probably know this already but Fender Studio Pro comes with the monophonic version of Melodyne. You must upgrade Melodyne if you want a polyphonic version.

Hi there Herb Hell yeah, that’s a fine song in all regards. Very uplifting, we should all be a bit more grateful for all the good things we have in life. Excellent, kind regards Yes indeed, I try to appreciate the small things in life and how fortunate we actually are and we don't realize it many times. Thanks for listening

Glad you managed to make this song without getting batoned by the police of mind, you are revealing hidden truths  Clever lyrics and they work on several levels, nice/horrifying images like lobotomy slice and clipping wings. Solid bass playing and Dave's guitar is painting the warning sign in front of us. "Don't let them take your will" is the best advice to keep in your mind every day. Stay away from algorithms (and go your own way)! Janne

Hello ROG, I appreciate the feedback. I worked through your test procedure and we are having the same issues. The only difference I see in our results is that, for me, if I edit a displayed note and change the duration (without cancelling and reselecting the note) the note moves to the displayed bar as opposed to disappearing. Since we have both reported it, I will put my faith in PG Music that it is being considered. Hopefully, feedback soon. Thanks.

Hi Dave, Chris and Marty, I heard your funky track on YouTube a few days ago. I commented then too. I thought it was a great song with really good vocals from Chris; even a double Chris! And I still think this way ;-) I can't remember ever hearing a funky track from you before. But as you said, this is a remix, so I should have heard it, I guess. But most importantly, I really enjoyed it, just like everyone else above! Just like you, I'm also busy remixing or even rewriting older songs. Especially because the mixes weren't that great. So soon all the songs on the forum will be ours. What do you think? Hans

Hi BGP, If you right-click your mouse in the Tracks window, then click on "Generate" from the pop-up menu, you find the option "Freeze track from generation" available. This should do the job for you. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32406&filename=freeze tracks 2026.jpg) --Noel

Hey Rob, Man, you can sing really low, so low... and still stay in tune. Amazing! I played the song again after you started singing. I thought the rhythm of the song was a bit faster than when you joined in. But I was wrong. Everything fit perfectly. I imagined you were in the microphone. That's how close your voice sounded in the song.A really nice song, Rob! Hans Thanks, Hans! I'm always trying different things when it comes to singing, in hopes that I'll find something that'll make me sound good. No luck yet : ( You might be right the first time about when I came in on the song. I've been having trouble with that. I have something called essential tremor, it's neurological. I hope that's not the cause. It did end my guitar playing days, so it's some serious stuff. I can't use a smartphone either. But I can type, obviously. Though slowly, and with many errors.

Hans, Bob and Mario, Thank you for listening and viewing and your generous comments. I am glad that I have introduced some forum members to the late, great Elliott Smith. Fortunately, he had a distinctive style that was possible to mimic, which I hope I did justice to. Andrew

Thanks. Some installer files are updated periodically and if there is a newer file (installer) available it will not show 'Installed' status - instead there is a message "Newer file available". However it seems that if you happen to have removed the old (previous) installer from your download folder, this message would not appear. This has been improved in 1.0.99 Now the message ("Installed but newer file available") appears if it was previously installed, even if the installer no longer exists. https://www.pgmusic.com/support.updates.win.dm.htmI'm not sure that I quite understand the explanation, but it doesn't matter much. The improvement will definitely help clarify. That will be especially helpful where big FLAC downloads are involved. I'm not sure about the sequential download issue - I couldn't seem to duplicate that. It went away for me also. If I find out how it came about and/or can make it repeatable, I'll update the post or post again.

Hi Mario, I can imagine you went to bed to rest after making this song. I felt the same urge, just from listening to your "Wild Ride"! What energy there is in it! The drummer must be recovering in a nursing home by now... I think it's amazing how you manage to weave all of this into a cohesive whole that also sounds very appealing. You must be a good jammer then. And thankfully, you are! A jack of all trades. Whether it's classical or pop, you always manage to make something captivating. Great job! Hans Thanx so much Hans. Actually I am better at jamming with others than playing all by myself. Unfortunately there is no one else around my age to jam with anymore.
