Dave, Wow! What an awesome remake of a great song! The mix is spectacular. Love the great guitar and bass parts as well. The piano is also a standout track - sounds tailor made for this song. As usual Chris is on fire here! Loved it! Bob

My favorite sailor shows his skills once again. Pleasant and bouncy tune on the sea of life. I really enjoyed the vocals, scatting and imaginative backing vocals. The uplifting message is the lighthouse, and the words like "Through the calm night, we'll be doing what we please." are what we need to be the captains of our lives. Your slogan seems to be "When you listen to Babu Music it lifts your soul"  Janne

good song, GREAT message, the lip-sync was amazing! Funny, I thought we were supposed to have a revolution in 1970 and deal with all this *****. But it never happened. Very professional presentation, I wish somehow I could watch how you work and improve my own songs. That'll never happen either, of course. Thank you, Rob, for your kind words and your thoughts on what should have happened long ago but hasn't. As far as mixing and production go, that would only make sense if you had the same DAW as me, because 95% of the plugins I use are standard Cubase plugins. However, if you need help with a specific song or audio track, feel free to send me a private message - I might be able to help you out in some cases. Principles apply regardless of the DAW.

Hi James. Not sure what message is here but it's a pleasant enough sound. Did you or BIAB choose the chords? It meanders through them like the composer is searching for a tune but can't quite find it. Is that what the title is about though? Vic

A good story, well told and sung. At first, I wasn't too keen on your chord progression, but as I listened, it made perfect sense for the song. A good song ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

Beautiful and relaxing, despite all the unpredictable weather. As always, what you do with those Swam instruments is the best part of the song - it’s incredible how realistically you play them. Enjoyed my listen

Jim. Thanks for the info much appreciated. Looks like Microsoft is still working on this?? IE Leading Edge. discussions seem to focus on midi support... but no info on the audio side. Ie .audio recording wav files. Obviously a lot of this is discussions between Developers. Still confused LOL. Best to you.. Om

First thing I'd do is go to Song Settings and click Force Song to Simple Arrangement (non-embellished). Sometimes BiaB embellishments are cool, but other times...

Ron, this small town boy who very rarely goes into a city loves this song. Your arrangement and vocals are your best to date IMHO. The backing vocals and band are perfect for this song and your mix is spot on. Like I said I loved it. PS - Don't worry about the length for the radio plays; it should be on the radio right now. Alice's Restaurant was 15 minutes long, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida was 17 minutes long. Thanks, Mario! Sadly, I don't know anyone who listens to the radio for music anymore... Well done. As others have said, the vox are really nice. I like that play back and forth at the ending. I don't hardly like to go to the small cities around here let alone find myself in a metropolis. I can handle the small towns just fine. People know you there. Thank you, Herb. Big cities are impersonal for sure. Not judging, they just are. Small towns are my thing, too. Traveled for work to a small town once, and one of my co-workers asked me "Why are all these people being so NICE to me?! It's WEIRD!" I replied that they were nice people, and genuinely wanted to be friends, and that WE were the one that were weird if we felt uncomfortable. Not sure it landed...

Marty, Love this song! Your performance is excellent with a tough blues edge. Of course, Dave adds the perfect guitar to support everything. Big punchy mix - sounds great in my speakers. The stalker discussion is hilarious! I think you remedied that. LOL! Bob Thanks, Bob. Yep, Charley is not only inspirational, but she's been my most honest critic since she was 4. I think the second line effectively quashes any stalker overtones. I always love Dave's guitar and it sounds great as usual here. The story is good and the happy ending is much appreciated after all the bad news of late. Sounds like your little lyric critic is a keeper, too. Good work, enjoyed it much. Thanks, Bob. Nope, Charley said the second line reinforces the notion. It wasn't until the woman in the story surreptitiously invited the guy over (maybe), that the "stalker" moniker wore off. Happy you liked the ending. The characters are very cute. You and Dave are always great. Laurent Thanks, Laurent. Yeah, i figured cute characters wouldn't encourage the stalker image. Hey, Marty, why all the talk about stalking? Sting had a number one hit with "Every Breath You Take" that took jealousy and stalking to the top for nine weeks and no one complained! But that's clearly not what your song is about. Oh, and how about Daryl Hall's "Private Eyes"? Okay, aside from that, you've got the bluesy swagger down and it sounds terrific! Well, we just got our covid boosters again and the side effects are hitting me so I'm hitting the Ibuprofen. Very good to hear new songs from you! John Thanks, John. Those songs you mentioned can have harmless uses as well, but "Sitting outside your house" is much harder to mask. Stay safe, man.

Floyd, This sounds like the love child of Floyd Jane and Pat Benatar. And I mean that in the most positive sense. AMAZING!!! Bob Thanks a bunch, Bob. When I first got this mixed with the female vocal and regened BIAB tracks, my first thought was "...that has a Benetar vibe!" (which I was quite pleased about)....

Her Torrey, Great song! Love the lyrics. Your special style and special voice are on full display here. No one sounds like you man! Songwriting is exceptional, lyrics are deeply touching, and the instrumentation enhances the emotion perfectly. Production is polished, performances are expressive. It all comes together beautifully. Classic Torrey. So good to see you.

Now cranachan ... that's a proper Scottish dish! (Despite my name, I'm mostly English.) According to ancestry DNA I am mostly Scottish, with English and Irish thrown in . . . I had never heard of Cranachan until this post but I'll be giving the recipe a try this weekend . . . As for the hardest instrument, I taught myself guitar, bass and mandolin. I am trying to teach myself banjo right now and it is the hardest instrument I have ever tried to learn.

I sent a song via email to a friend. When the file was opened the audio track I recorded on my guitar was missing from the song. So do I need to attach the wav file created by the audio track to my email as well? Yes, and when your friend opens it, he will have to leave them together, without changing the name of the Wav. Is there a better way of sharing songs created with friends? Great thanks

Select the 6 bars of your guitar track in the Audio or Notation window, copy them (Ctrl+C), then manually paste them 10 times (to cover 60 bars) consecutively into the relevant track. This avoids global repetitions of the song that affect all tracks. Cheers I'll give it a go Yep that works Just trying to get my head round the looping funtion now

So my experience has been mixed but in the end it has work very well. The big issue for me was coming to realize that LoopMidi conflicts with the MS MIDI. LoopMidi has to be deleted, then send and receive endpoints have to be set up in the MS app. Once that was realized and done, the new MS app has worked fine for me. Jeff

We hear a bit of an ethereal Indian vibe. Visions of the open plains. Really well done with your typical excellent performances and mix. Great! J&B PS Bud says song writing is like passing kidney stones. Well not all the time but often. Thanx Janice and Bud, I'm glad you liked it. PS - Tell Bud I much prefer composing over passing kidney stones. I've never had the displeasure of passing a kidney stone but I hear it can be very painful. No song I've written has ever been very painful! Well I meant that for me 😀 Not a general scenario for songwriters. I just don’t consider my self a natural writer. It’s always a struggle. Fortunately my better half easily comes up with melodies and progressions! Bud
