Hi, I don't think its the computer. After checking the output device setting did the sound check and it worked yet RB is still silent. I've tried the laptop speakers and headphones via jack, still don't hear anything. I did some screenshots of the Audio settings and tracks. I don't see anything as Muted however there are Bars that I used this option for Ahs and Ohs, guitar soloist, trumpet soloist, however there activated when needed, chorus, bridge, etc. I'm not doing any MIDI myself, yet, just leveraging BnB options... I have a USB Yeti mic, has worked nice in the past, this is what I recorded a track to see if that input was working and it is. I haven't done the A to D interface this time around.

B.D., energetic, passionate and brutally real. You flex a HUGE dynamic range here, and it all fits and flows perfectly. The (amazing) vocals do the whole whisper-to-a-scream thing perfectly, too. The mix is LOUD but perfectly articulate. A very complex song to put together, I'm sure. For the listener, it's just a wild and thrilling ride. Super job! Thanks a ton, Ron  The making of the song was indeed very complex. - It started out as a Rap song (which is why there are so many rhymes), but I'm not Eminem and I never will be.
- Then I switched to rock in 3/4 time, but halfway through I got stuck because it lacked the necessary rage. Back to the drawing board.
- In the end, I decided on 4/4 because it allowed me to better implement the desired dynamic and tempo changes.
That was quite a ride...

Hi Ron - very listenable! Your 2026 RealStyle choice and tempo has a laid-back feel to it, which I thought illustrated the contrast of small-town-boy from a slower pace in a big city - one can never take the slower pace (or desire for it) out of a small-town-boy. Andrew Thanks, Andrew. I do tend to race the tempo along more often than not. Sometimes because I have a LOT of lyrics to fit in and I don't want to do any five minute songs. Ha!

When I read your lyrics, it never occurred to me that you were stalking anyone - so everything's fine. It's always good to have a granddaughter at hand! When couples successfully give it another try, it makes for a great story (both in film and music), and you did a great job with that. Good listen, good band, good production. Enjoyed and smiled

A great song with an important message. I’ve worked with people from all over the world, and a smile when you meet someone for the first time says more than a thousand words and breaks down all language barriers. As far as the genre goes, I’d say the song has a 60s or early 70s vibe - old, but in a good way. Enjoyed my listen. A lot

A beautiful song. I like the arrangement changes, which keep it interesting. I think the calmer, slower mood of the intro conveys the romantic feeling better than the faster rest of the song. But it's still a beautiful song that definitely deserves a vocal part Thanks BD. Glad you enjoyed the song and arrangement. It would be nice to have some lyrics but alas, I've come up with nothing so far. Cheers, Mike

Thanks, Mario. As a rule I don't write topical songs/protest songs. This one came to me very quickly, so I didn't fight it.

Mario, another terrific instrumental. I've played in jazz lounges over the years so I can really relate to your laidback, end-of-the-night song. Those Swam instruments allow so much natural expression. Cheers, Mike Thanx Mike. The jazz lounge's last song is identical to my wedding bands last song at either a wedding or a bar; during the off-wedding season we played and the veteran clubs and using Notes' terminology "the animal clubs", i.e Moose Halls, Eagle Clubs etc. Yes, those Swam instruments let you play them whereas sample based VSTis do not.

Excellent piece Hans. I would not hesitate to post these quality songs Hans. The melody in your vocals and well crafted backtrack are great listens. Like I said on your Facebook post. I was able to somewhat follow along with the english version of your lyrics. Well done

I suggest you take a look at Gig Performer. They have a 14-day free trial of the Pro version available. I've been using GP since v1. The current version is v5, with v6 coming soon. A lot of excellent professional musicians use it live. The developers are former IBM Research engineers and also touring musicians. There's nothing else that comes close to it. Just brainstorming, but if you replace your Focusrite Solo with a 4th gen 4i4 or 16i16 (which I think would work a little better for you), you could also eliminate your mixer and the MIDI module. Use the MIDI output of the 16i16 MIDI i/o to your SD-50. Route the SD-50 audio out to 16i16 analog inputs 3 & 4. Route the keyboard audio outputs to 16i16 analog inputs 5 & 6. If you choose a 4i4 instead, you'd have to use the front panel inputs 1 & 2 instead of inputs 5 & 6 located on the rear of the 16i16. I am assuming that you've saved your BiaB backing tracks to stereo audio files and that you trigger the SD-50 and the appropriate audio file from your laptop. You can do all of the mixing, EQ'ing, clip playing etc. inside of GP and connect your Bose L1 powered speakers to the 4i4/16i16 main outputs (1 & 2).

Wow Floyd that is really well written and arranged . . . It's another of yours that goes in my "Damn I wish I'd wrote that" listen to list! I'm jealous as I have never been able to write a 'good' song for a female vocalist. A couple duets I think are really good is as close as I ever got. My only nit pick would be the AI vocal. Now I probably wouldn't have noticed had I not known it was AI but there are some odd tones and artifacts if you really listen. Almost but not quite human sounding yet. Absolutely great song though - someone like Carry Underwood could probably make that a big hit
