Lee - like others have said, your baritone is a super find and sounds cool. I like the Celtic cello you added as well - it has percussive qualities. It was a real pleasure to play it ‘live’ with you - something other forum members don’t get the chance to do with others - something other forum very lucky. I’m now investigating acquiring Fallout game after being inspired! Andrew

This flowed really well for the most part (way to go, Andrew!!) and was delightfully nonsensical. For me, the lyrics had a teasing way of making the listener think that maybe there was something quirkily profound being related. Further, this song might've sat comfortably among the tracks of The White Album. Really good stuff! I had a long journey with these lyrics. Originally I wrote a story with the idea of substituting each noun and verb with other random nouns and verbs. In the process, these pairs of lines came to me that had nothing to do with the original story. It’s easy to rhyme when there are no consequences! There was a bit of tweaking of this to smooth out the lyric flow. White Album? My favourite of the Fab Four, and I love Savoy Truffle from that. Well done! I think you accomplished what you set out to do. Great vocal that really keeps up with the esoteric lyrics. I agree with Rob - this would fit well on The White Album. … and then there’s Sexy Sadie, Cry Baby Cry, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Martha My Dear … what an album! "Last Seen" means most recent post. We’ve missed him also. I wondered - his ‘last post’ was 25/12/25 (DDMMYY), so wondered if ‘last seen’ was a last login? I hope he’s okay. Great band indeed. “Note: RT 2905 was ‘sliced and diced’ in certain sections to obtain the one bar fills in the choruses.” Yes! comping up multiple re-gens is for us THE way to go to personalize a RT. I think I’ll do more of this in future to dig out the gems. Nice performances by you …. vocals and guitar. Thank you. I know I’m not a great singer or player, but as long as they illustrate my musical idea, I’m happy. The write? Well you more than adequately described it! smile Love Tunemonger’s description: might be some quirkily profound. Another fine mix and another one of your productions much enjoyed by us. Thank you - I think I am learning new things with each new song - onwards and upwards! Thank you all for listening and commenting! Andrew

Hello Forum friends, During my university years, I attended Yamaha Music School alongside my main studies to learn composition and arrangement. This piece is one I wrote back then. For this version, I recreated it in a Cuban Latin style using BIAB. Any comments encouraged. Always welcome. Best regards.

A smile overflows Just from being by your side. Please hold me close And promise me that no matter what comes You will never let the flame of our love go out

Hi Andi That is nothing short of sensational, epic, mega and many more superlatives. Right from the off that catches the listeners ear and you’re hooked. Really worthy of some airtime and several listens…I'm going back for more. The talent that has gone into this production is amazing. I’ll be looking out for more of your songs for sure. Kind regards.

There were several updates available in the Install Manager "Ready (Installed, but a newer file is available)", so I let the IM do its thing, and wah-lah, the part now sounds/plays correctly in my project. And I learned a thing or two along the way. Thanks for your assistance.

I feel like I am at a concert hall with the lights down low. A standing ovation after the performance. Smooth transition from the vocal to the violin. And then they both interact well together.

I love the melody of the chorus and the rhyming couplet: "there were no angry words, no ultimatum or curse/so the good news is the bad news could’ve been worse." Mix sounds flawless. Vocals are superb.

When you double-click on a style in the StylePicker, is there a yellow message that says "Auditioning style..... https://demos.pgmusic.com.... " ? If you then close the StylePicker and go to Help | Utilities | Display log... find the URL and paste it into your web browser - does it download and play?

Hi! I'd love to suggest new songs to add to the Styles dialog, but I'd really like to know if anyone has provided an updated Styles list that lets users like me to browse styles more easily. What I'm looking for is styles that are fairly common, but don't have an easy way to find them. For example, Broadway Two-Step (like "We need a Little Christmas"), Bavarian Polka (like "Beer Barrel Polka") and others. If you have any sort of style list like this, please let me know.

Anybody really deep into UVR v5.6.1? Specifically looking at downloaded extraction algorithms of VR Arch, MDX-Net and Demucs. Do you see any difference between the VR Arch, UVR-MDX-Net or Demucs versions and the newer MDX Reformer versions? Which do you find the best for generating full sounding WAV files while stripping out the vocals without leaving the "water wash" sound? What post-processing do you use in your DAW after UVR processing. Current version is still UVR v5.6.0. Anything that's newer may not be legit. That said, when using UVR, I've preferred the MDX-Net models, but as Mike already mentioned, it depends on the source material. Please note, however, that almost all models are three years old or older and are therefore no longer state-of-the-art. And UVR is limited to separating vocals, individual instruments cannot be separated. But for a completely free, local open-source stem separator, it's still pretty good.

The video you added is pretty good and interesting. But to be honest, neither the video nor the song gives me any clue as to what the song is about. Still, it's a beautiful song It's about ... 2 minutes 17 seconds. Beyond that, can't articulate anything more than it's about longing for something past while being resigned to never reaching it in the future. I think... I just made that up actually;)

Excellent Alan. Crystal clear open mix with many subtle dynamics. Just what we love. Love what Ray said, "Gentle but sprightly too." That is one fine BiaB Wrecking Crew and, man, that solo guitar is standout. Great listen and well done! J&B

Mario, Forget the yardwork, just write us stunningly beautiful music, just like this one! Love it all. Love the diminished chords ... a beautiful, optimistic track! Really, really wonderful. A joy to hear. Nice harmonic change at 2:30, with a return to the original key at around 3:00. One of your best, most pleasant tracks. I'm off to hear it again Thanks!!!

… What Ron said: Ha! This sounds like a lost track from the Kink's (very awesome) Arthur album. You really upped your game with this one. Nicely done! i really like your backing tracks - great selection and mix! And your vocal really shine on this one. I've mentioned to you in the past that I had a friend (now deceased) from Adelaide. I think of him (not musically - you're a far better vocalist and a better creator) when I listen to you. I enjoyed this a lot! great listen! Best to you, … Thanks Alan! After Ron’s comment, I listened to that Kinks album - I like it a lot! Thank you for your kind comments about my vocals - I’m not a good singer and can sometimes be pitchy, but I love being able to sing my songs as a form of expression and also to illustrate the musical ideas I have - the must be a saying along the lines of … “Get in, get out, and do as little damage as possible along the way”. A friend in Adelaide - one wonders how you met. Thanks for listening and commenting! Andrew

A new song, from me - perhaps the last one in a while, since I have increasingly less and less time to devote to writing songs (which I'm not at all happy about, but what can one do?). Nevertheless ... here is this one. Written in Musecore (melody) and Band-in-a-Box (backing tracks), mixed in Mixcraft Pro Studio 10, then put through Suno. I hope you enjoy; in any case, however, all feedback is very much welcome! Thank you so much for listening! In My Heart THE LYRICS: I never could just say goodbye, Back when you smiled and left my life, Although, with tears, my voice did crack Your mind was made; no going back. You know, sometimes it's just the time, When God calls us, we hear the chime, And, though our worlds be far apart, Until next time, you're in my heart ... Until next time, you're in my heart. The door has closed, and thus you left, Leaving me here alone, bereft, I wish I'd hear your voice, again, However much I wish in vain ... But I can feel you are still here, However far, ever so near, Though I can't see, a thought away, Guiding me each and every day ... And next to me, in every way. I never knew it was the end, Not even when you said: "goodbye, my friend", You smiled and stepped to eternity, Leaving behind just, only me ... You know, sometimes it's just the time, When God calls us, we hear the chime, And, though our worlds be far apart, Until next time, you're in my heart ... Until next time, you're in my heart. *** THE ORIGINAL, Band-in-a-Box BAND: ****** Song Summary ************* Title: In My Heart - 3 July 2026 File:In My Heart - 3 July 2026.SGU Key=D , Tempo 75, Length (m:s)=4:12 No intro. 75 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 75.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
