Good one! What an ambitious and creative project, which of course you completed with ease. I can most definitely hear you, Floyd, your style and delivery, in the Audimee generated vocal.

GENIUS. What? GENIUS. This is pure GENIUS! Ya think? In this case I don't do 'think', I'm just saying fact. Everything about it is 100% first class. The lyrics, 100% relatable. The vocals OUTSTANDING! I gasp in awe. I only wish that I could get that perfect production quality, but first I'll need a new PC and a new address. I love all of your material, but for me this is the very best song yet. PURE GENIUS. Wow, now I'm really blushing a little  Thanks a LOT for your really kind words, Chay. Mucho appreciated ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

Sawmill. heres an alternative for you. bb is great for fast track generation but realband is superior by a long shot when it comes to audio and midi handling and editing. import your bb song into rb and then you have 255 tracks to record on plus features like odd time sig handling and numerous other features. (see the rb manual and my tips on these forums.) remember you can also drag tracks from bb into rb... easy peasy. see various of my many tips in pg tips forum including how to do things like drum solos. lots more info in the rb forum also. hth. om

I use BiaB for part of my backing track construction, if the style is appropriate for the song I'm doing. I play sax, flute, wind synthesizer, guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards. In my rack, I have many hundreds of synth voices, with sample based, fm, linear artthmetic, and physical modeling synthesizers. One of the hardest voices for me to emulate either using a keyboard MIDI controller or a wind MIDI controller is the flute. The flute changes tone at every octave, and the breath noise component changes in intensity. I can get a good flute sound, but not a good flute performance with the gear I have. But thanfully, I have a "real" flute if I need one.

I enjoyed the YT version (a couple times) the other day. Usually i say SC's sound is so much better, but this song is too good to notice. I REALLY enjoyed the images in the video, but this song (like all the songs you two release) is one that is best heard with closed eyes and opened ears, Excellent lyrics and the song really rises to a heightened level of enjoyment when Joliz comes in.

Ojh, i'm with ya on this one, John. i really like the story and how you avoided more of her. What an odd coincidence running into that guy. So glad you are you instead of fake like that. You wrote this a year later? Man, the vocal is so good. "You don't know me, I'll keep it that way." HAHA. Excellent choice. Good choice on the style and instruments too. Cool chord progression that seems to write itself from the experience. Does that make sense? Anyway, good write and production, John.

Good one Marty! Glad you cleared up the stalker vibes. With that removed, this settles into a wholesome love story. Solid music from you and Dave - his lead and your singing. Everything in its place. I had to chuckle about the scene in the video where the young man is waiting outside for the light to go on - he appears to be doing the moonwalk at the end of the driveway! Great listening and watching. Andrew Thanks, Andrew. HAHA. so glad you saw that. I always like the wonkiness of Ai. That moonwalk is so much harder than all those guys in the 30s ever tried. This guy's illusion is not just going backwards while appearing to walk forward, he manages to move sideways while keeping his toes and heels straight. Yeah, i didn't even try it. Cute song, Marty. Restarting love is a cool theme, and you navigated the not-a-stalker thing with ease. So...well done! Great, energetic vocals. Nice band and much-better-than nice guitar fills/solo. Super mix. When my brother writes a lyric like this, his spouse will often ask who it's about. "I just made it up" is met with a dubious glare... Glad I don't write lyrics.  Thanks, Ron. Those video characters surely helped pull out the cute factor. Tell R.W. i know what he means. In my case, if i only write about my life, songs would be quite boring. Wow, this song is so much fun, Marty! Songwriting is clever, as usual, lyrics are memorable, instrumentation pops, production is crisp, and performances are just as bad-[*****] as ever. Keep doing' it bro. Thanks, David. Appreciate you and the encouragement. Marty what a very creative song. The last verse did deflect the stalker theme. As usual everything about this is top shelf. PS - tell your granddaughter this is the stalking song: Thanks, Mario. She's getting quite a collection of stalker songs.

Hey, DC. It has a really comfortable folk style like Kent LaVoie (Lobo). I lived in cities all my life...Los Angeles, Boise, Denver, Phoenix, and now on the edge of Los Angeles metropolitan in a small city of 58,000. Being anonymous has always been comfortable for me. Oh, and I don't trust food carts. John Thanks, John. Cool trivia about Lobo, who I loved as a kid: When he was 18, he joined his first band, which also included Gram Parsons and Jim Stafford. Now THAT was a power trio. I'm with you on food carts! Another quality production Ron, Really loved those “Running out in traffic” harmonies at the end. Superb. Kind regards. Thank you, Lee. Though I recorded the outro last, it was the first element of the song I wrote. I just had to make sure the rest of the music led to there. Glad you liked it!

So much to learn so little time... You have now jumped into the deep end of the pool. Have patience and learn a little at a time. It will all make sense eventually. First, Yes the VSTSynth64 does have a "lock" button. When I set exactly the Channel and Patch I want to play for a song, this remains unchanged when I close and open the song. In fact as best I know it remains unchanged for ALL songs. So the lock effects every song. BIAB assigns a Channel # to each instrument track according to this listing: ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32445&filename=Screenshot 2026-03-27 161250.jpg) BUT - Understand that while BIAB may call the track "Guitar", the song may actually have a "PIANO" on the track. So you often need to look deep to see what the actual MIDI Channel # is for the track you are interested in. Then there is the Patch # which identifies the characteristics of the assigned instrument ( is the Bass and upright or an electric for example). Here is where the GM standard can be not exactly standard. Some will name the patchs "slightly" different in different applications. Finally there is the BANK #. Also, these patch #'s do NOT follow each other well between what the BIAB Tracks says and what the VSTSynth64 assigns. Best I recall BIAB does not update the patch # based on what you may set in the VSTSynth64. That can be confusion. But I am going too deep for you right now, so I will stop. Let me know if this helps. I can do a video at some point - which by the way I have done in the past but I can't find it. And to be real honest here, this is NOT really as simple as I may be making it sound!  So go slow. Find some sounds you like and try to use them and don't try to go too deep too fast. Dan

I can confirm that a frozen song, even though its file size is much larger, contains added instructions to use an audio file but does not contain the audio file itself. This info was given to me by a PG Music staffer.

I think I've gotten to the point where I could recognize one of your compositions in a blind test. I might be wrong about that, but I think I could do it. I always give bonus points for creativity, and you've earned some here. A great listen, James!

I also have a Roland SD50 running with Windows 10. Since Roland never developed drivers for Windows 11, I have come up with some hardware system designs which will allow continued use of the SD50 with a Windows 11 system. See the attached images. Configuration #1 illustrates how the SD50 functions under Windows 10 for both MIDI and audio. Configuration #2 shows a hardware way to continue to use the MIDI generator of the SD50 using the PC's internal audio system. Configuration #3 shows how to add a new USB PC interface and continue to use the MIDI generator of the SD50 along with a new external sound module. You might also want to read the Coyote DXI Synth thread over in the Beginner's Forum. It has some useful information if it is desired to go to a software solution that would follow the GM/GM2 specification. David Rosenblum

Hi Mario! I like the steady rhythm/beat throughout this piece, but my favourite is the strings throughout, but particularly the ‘drama’ they add around 3:05 - that’s a good section. Andrew Thanx Andrew. I have been experimenting with my string sections so I am glad you noticed them.
