Well, that makes perfect sense to me. So what does that say about me? Good song.

Hi, Brian. I was super curious about how the oboe was going to fit into the mix. No more curious than I. About half of the VST instruments that I use through Kontakt suddenly disappeared a week ago, and my current choices are somewhat limited.

True I also found the idea that you make the B-side Unlistenable to encourage playing the A side Of course, that’s no longer an option

Hi, Chris. Pretty song. As you said, it's not easy to write a song with rhymes when you're not a native speaker!

Hi, Mario. Interesting! I assume the Solid State Strings are where the "shimmer" on the strings comes from. Nice work on the brass. The bit at 3:00 veers into a 1950's sci-fi theme, which is cool.  It would sound more orchestral if the instruments were all in a "orchestral room", with brass in the back for more reverb. But it wouldn't necessarily sound any better that way.

Hi, Scott. You're right - it started out with some resemblance to the blues, but by the end those ascending motifs took it into a different direction. Cool.

Really liked the attitude in this, and the chorus was strong. Well done on all levels, Andrew, this song has some gravitas that drew me to it and stayed with me.

Not exactly my favorite genre, but you did a really good job, great arrangement, very tasteful choice of instruments, and the saxophone was THE perfect choice. Very convincing singer. I could easily imagine listening to your song in a bar while drinking a good French wine. Thumbs up ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

If all else fails (until the GUI gets updated), I was thinking you could create shortcuts to your songs in Explorer and copy or move those shortcuts to a folder in a location of your choosing called [songlist1] or whatever. Then if the checkbox in the BIAB options>preferences>display setting to allow multiple instances is unchecked, you can click on the shortcuts in the folder that you made and they will open in BIAB. Use Alt-Tab to switch between BIAB and your new folder. Just a thought...

Nearly happy R.W. Davis lyrics have the adverb removed when sung by such a happy vocalist. What a fun song, Ron, and I really like the vocals. Cool harmony. Good bouncey feel carrying a great band to the finish line. Excellent mix, too. I appreciate your consistencey, Ron, and have no doubt that you will resolve to do whatever needs done. Heck, you're already doing it. Ha! Thanks, Marty.

Spaghetti Western meets Ireland - you had me right from the intro, Hans. I really like the story, as well as the way you tell it. Who wouldn't be tempted to just leave this mess of a planet behind? Very good production (your new studio seems to be paying off) and really good vocals. Enjoyed my listen

Excellent tune Lee. Excellent vocal and backtrack. Cool production. Dialing in the mixing is an art in itself. One of my favorite things to do. Gives the fingers a rest from the guitar playing. Some basic thoughts. Vocals dead center, drums and bass dead center. All the rest volume balancing left and right with there own space. One you get it close then create a template and you have a great place to start time. Ray is an excellent source for mixing. He has great ears..

Thank you Noel, Yes the long haul road trains here are impressive indeed. I did have half a mind to include some obscure Aussie place names in the song at one stage, if only to confuse some of our international members. Glad you enjoyed it and that it conjured up some great imagery for you. Kind regards.

I updated all Motu software and spent hours studying this. The new Biab runs very fast on the old Dell tower. I got a great price on the new Dell with I7 and 32 gig but will not set headphone out to 44,100 hz. I have it packed and am shopping back today! Thanks for your interest!

Energetic country rocker with a strange but lively story. Amazing how all the pieces stay together despite the fast tempo - guitars, vocals (including alliterations) and even that crazy BIAB piano. Great sounding mix. Just wondering if anyone sends letters these days? Janne

Very catchy and upbeat song with a good message. I thought the vocals were fine, exuding a suitable quantity of passion. As others have mentioned, the standout was the 4056 guitar, filling out the ends of each line. Good one, Pete!
