Hi Lee! I'm glad you got to post this today - after the 'big reveal' at our jam* this morning. I wanted to hear it through my headphones, and it hasn't disappointed! I find it amazing/intriguing to hear how each of us approaches the task of writing a story song and the end result. Always a pleasant delight. I never would have come up with a story like yours - quite unique. I heard once that performing art is either comedy or tragedy - mine is the former and yours the latter. I love the tin whistle - it provides a simplicity and melancholy that would have been present in the war and post war years - particularly when remembering the loss of loved ones and the devastation. Your vocal recording has an intimate quality in the verses that demonstrates the vulnerability of the storyteller, and your doubled vocal on the choruses 'Tommy ...' and 'Jimmy ...' which make them stand out without departing far from the style of the verses. You gave yourself a B-, but as an independent results moderator, I'm going to recommend an upgrade to A-, and only a minus because I want to leave room - because with the trajectory you're on with your songwriting and recording, we are going to hear some good music from you in the coming months and years. I am sure of it! Andrew Dee * For those reading at home, K-Dub Ya (Lee), Mike (a common friend) and I meet every 5 to 6 weeks where we reveal our songs in response to a songwriting challenge we take turns in setting. Each of us produced something different but enjoyable. Our friend Mike is soon to have BIAB 2026 in his hands, so Lee and I are hoping we might see him posting to the forum sometime in the future. He'll be receiving 'encouragement' from us.

Soundcloud - That's how I won the lottery YouTube - That's how I won the lottery When K-Dub Ya, our friend Mike and I met for our usual songwriting jam, it was my turn to nominate a challenge, and I proposed our next project was to write a song with a story. For a lengthier telling of how this song was written and recorded, please see down below. PRODUCTION I used two RealStyles for this song - changing to the other style using Bar Settings: Verse and bridge style is _PICKIT.STY (Pick It Up Ska Trio) RealTracks in style: 3489:Bass, Electric, SkaPunkPopAB Ev 180 RealDrums in style:SkaFastPopWes^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Open Hat Chorus style is _BUSTER.STY (Buster Ska Punk) RealDrums in style: SkaFastPopWes^3-a:Snare, Open Hat , b:Snare, Ride :Wes Little RealTrack in style: 3489: Bass, Electric, SkaPunkPopAB Ev 180 , Brian Allen Also: RealTracks in song: ~~686:Organ, B3, Background Pop Ev 120 Me: Rhythm guitar x 2 – verses, intro, outro, bridge replacing RealTrack in style: 3493:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm SkaFastPop Ev16 180 Fingerpicked guitar – verse 3 Distorted rhythm guitar – chorus and motif replacing RealTrack in style: 3494 (Guitar, Electric, Rhythm SkaFastPunk Ev16 180 Vocal doubled Mixed in Reaper Video created in Clipchamp LYRICS VERSE 1 Leaving work, I caught the seven-o-five home Busier than usual - only one seat left Next to a man with a chips and gravy I was hungry as a horse The train rocked to and fro and so did his gravy – over my hair and shirt “I’m sorry – let me repay you” “No that’s okay, you’ve done quite enough.” CHORUS And that’s how I came to smell like gravy Doesn’t matter whether chicken or beef It got stuck in my hair – all thick and wavy And I wanted to get some relief VERSE 2 I got off at my stop, eager to get home Walking down the lane all dark and dingy I could hear steps, someone gaining on me So I quickened my pace and so did they I took a short cut through the wrecker’s yard – hoping to avoid the dog But the dog smelled gravy so I jumped the fence but my trousers got caught on the wire CHORUS And that’s how I came to be without pants On that cold and windy night I didn’t give that fence a second glance As I got myself up and took flight VERSE 3 The man chasing me had increased his stride But I went into a shopping mall to hide There were squeals of surprise as I walked through the crowd I hid in a cubicle in the men’s As I sat trembling, I looked down to see a hand under the door handing something to me “Take this brother – may it serve you well. Have this lottery ticket please” BRIDGE On Saturday night as I was watching the football I heard my wife squeal with delight from the kitchen “You’ve won, darling, you’ve won!” CHORUS And that’s how I came to win the lottery But I still have my shirt with the gravy stain I won’t lower myself to some snobbery I’m still prepared to ride that train VERSE 4 Even though I caught the seven-o-five some more I never saw the man with the gravy and chips Maybe he’d been spooked by the trouble he caused And couldn’t bear to see me on his trips DEVELOPMENT When K-Dub Ya and I and our friend Mike met for our usual songwriting jam two months ago, it was my turn to nominate a songwriting challenge. I proposed our next project was we each had to write a song with a story. I decided to start with lyrics which is abnormal for me – music first in 90% of my songs. Some have also heard me espouse that ‘the lyrics are only a vehicle for the music’ – not something I honestly believe, but it gives me an escape clause if I want to write oblique lyrics. Rather than trying to make up a story from the start, I decided to commence with the ending. I can’t remember how or where I got the ending ‘That’s how I won the lottery’ (it was probably in the bathroom), but I did, and used that. Then I worked backwards with answers to questions How did I get the ticket?’ and plausible answers became questions themselves: How did I find the ticket?’; ‘Was I given it, and how?’ etc. providing me with backwards branches of potential story lines. And that’s how I ended up with the story of a man travelling on a train who had gravy spilled on him; disembarking in disgust; being followed by a pursuer; escaping a rabid guard dog; walking without trousers through a shopping mall; being given the lottery ticket by the gravy man who wanted to compensate him somehow; to then winning with that lottery ticket. At this stage, my lyrics consisted of a series of unrhyming statements of varying length and metre. Musically, I just started strumming chords and quickly came up with a ska-like chord progression. I didn’t fuss too much about it – just ran with it. In this same session, I input the verse chords into BIAB and looked for ska styles – there were two: _PICKIT.STY and _BUSTER.STY – the latter having a heavier grunge guitar. Choosing _PICKIT style, I then finished the verse chords and in the process of strumming, came across the chorus progression G – D6 – C6, but it sounded too much like the verse (I normally like to mix it up a bit) but I went with it anyway. It then dawned on me I could change styles from the verse to the chorus, so I used the heavier _BUSTER.STY for the chorus and it sounded good. I think at this point I had also begun humming a melody and I put what I had into the melody notation window in BIAB. At a later session, I finished my template melody for the verse and chorus. In another session, I started editing my raw, unrhyming, wordy text into lyrics that I could sing, guided somewhat by the template melody I had. Being a former lisper, I struggle to sing words quickly, so I knew I had to make the ‘singability’ easier for me. As usual, this meant dropping words here and there, and using an online rhyming dictionary to find words that could rhyme or near rhyme, and also looking out for words with the emPHAsis on the wrong sylLAble. During this process, I decided to make the chorus a lyrical summary of the preceding verse, rather than coming back to a repeating chorus lyric. This made sense because the final chorus could then commence with the song title line. Somewhere along the way, I wanted to introduce a bridge (I always do), and I had an idea about how the subject finds out about winning the lottery, and the idea of him being home with his wife who, is clearly informed about the events leading up to this point, happens to be listening out for the lottery results. Musically, I hadn’t used the D (V) chord much so decided to start the bridge with that and came up with the simple V – IV – V7 bridge with a different strum pattern to break away from the ska strum. When it came to recording, I used the Drop Station (absolutely LOVE this feature of BIAB 2026) to drag the tracks into Reaper with my template project ready to go. I knew I wanted to replace the PICKIT rhythm guitar with my own because track 3493 (Guitar, Electric, Rhythm SkaFastPop Ev16 180) interspersed held chords in amongst the ska strums whereas I wanted it consistently ska strums. I also decided to replace the punk rhythm guitar RT3494 (Guitar, Electric, Rhythm SkaFastPunk Ev16 180) while I was at it. For verse 3, I wanted variety so I muted the ska guitars and used the 686 (Organ, B3, Background, Pop) which still didn’t seem enough. A day or so later, I thought I’d try a fingerpicking pattern for part of verse 3 which I recorded on my Gretsch G5120 hollow body. When I played it back, I was overjoyed and this section is now my favourite part of the song. And that’s how I wrote this song!

Hi Thomas. I notice that you've been using BIAB for a long, long time so you have probably tried the suggestions below. In case you haven't, though, here they are... What I would look at in this situation is:– 1) After the song has loaded, set the base tempo of the audio file. To do this, right-click on the User Audio Track in the mixer, select Track Settings and then select Base Tempo. There is also a 'Conform to tempo' option underneath the Base Tempo that might be worth trying too. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32704&filename=Audio track base tempo.jpg) 2) The User Audio exists as a separate file. Is you re-import it, you can set the import options so that it loads at Bar 1 and not Bar -1. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32706&filename=audio - import and set bar to start import.jpg) 3) Lastly, it is possible to timeshift the audio in milliseconds. Positive values will move it right and negative values will move it left. This option is found under the Audio menu. (The Set Base Tempo can also be accessed from this menu.) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32705&filename=audio timeshift.jpg) I hope this helps. --Noel

There really isn't anything new here. When I was teaching guitar I'd tell the students after you learn the basic techniques I will divided the lesson in half, half for continuing out of the book and half for having fun. If ignoring the book learning then the fun stuff will stop. My lessons were not a strictly go from book 1 to book 2 etc. Students learned more advanced techniques more easily when playing songs that they want to play. Learning fun stuff started early in the lessons to get the student motivated. Note that all of the fun stuff was in notation that was modified to the students skill level. I have had great success with this method and so did the other guitar teacher I was sharing students when we both worked at a music store together. YMMV

whats really needed imho is to have one app that splits into 6 parts AND at the same time creates new tracks that are assessed that might be better than one or more splits useing AI. thus the user could have 'options' to improve the split tracks.

It's cool but the AI vocal seems to have overdone the "humanizing" as there's way to much breath, sibilants stuff, clipping etc. for my liking. Nifty backing and a good result with the mix. Good ears man. Thank you so much for listening and for your always valuable feedback, Ray. I really appreciate it ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) The imperfections are not the AI's fault, I actually requested the vocals to be that way and didn't remove most of the imperfections. That's a conscious decision, because I don't like the overly polished vocals you usually hear on the radio. Of course, that's just my personal preference, and I know a lot of people who would agree with you.

Man, you are on a roll lately, Vic! Another well written and performed song from you. Love the subject matter, great idea for a song, and like others here I am of the generation where radio was a huge deal. I have many fond memories of those days! Your vocal is perfect, loved the tin whistle also.

Hi WB. Have a look at this post. It might be helpful if you mark the styles as Favorites in addition to keeping them in a folder. https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=631261#Post631261 I've just checked it out and it still applies to BIAB 2026. The Preferences\StyleFavorites.txt file is update when BIAB is exited. Because it's a text file, you can add styles saved from your previous versions of BIAB. If you make a copy of the file, it's easy enough to restore if you need to when you update BIAB. --Noel P.S. As I mention in the above post, the StyleFavorites.txt file seems to get overwritten (or maybe the styles get the FAV_ identifier removed) during upgrades. I don't know if that is still case. As far as I can tell, the FAV_ identifier is what is used to identify which styles are to be added to the text file.

It sounds like your brain and mine are on the same wavelength--observing others and making up stories. My favorite line: "Lonely lovers kissing stars" Excellent band choices. I like the slow down ending. Hi Scott Great minds Scott! I think we should do a song together and call it "Planet Of The Humans" 😁🙃😜🙃🤩😜🤑🙄😬😮 Thanks for your ears and comments. btw I'm missing your contents. C'mon man, more Stormettes please. best regards Izzy.

Hi, floyd jane. I'd been MIA when you released this, so I missed it. I'm glad I caught it on this go-round. Strong rocker! With a bit of imagination, I can see the performer on stage belting away. So Audiomee did its job.  I remember having to read The Outsiders in high school in the late 80's because teachers somehow considered it somehow "contemporary". Good to hear the musical production was great.

You should both Take A Bow. Several. Love this band. Consistent quality. Consistent enjoyment. Excellent vocals. Solid BAND choices. LOVE your solo. Excellent Mix. Music. Good. Done right. fj Why, THANKS, Floyd! Don't do a lot of solos but couldn't let a song about self-glorifying rockers pass by without the obligatory lead guitar indulgence... Glad you enjoyed the tune!

Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock.
