Thank you for your _really_ nice words, Brian smile I really like Paul Simon's lyrics and songwriting, so it would be a worthwhile goal to become even half as good as him. That would be a dream...

Your voice sounds so - different. grin Good song, with a strong "Carpenters" vibe that I really like. Add some vocal harmonies, and it really sounds like her. Beautiful, a little melancholic, but still full of positive energy. Enjoyed my listen. A lot!

Re: I Know PeteMcN 43 minutes ago Forum: User Showcase
Well I have to confess that what I know about the Jazz genre would fit on the back of a postage stamp and still have room for War And Peace!! That said, I really did enjoy this song, thought that Suno did a great job with the vocals and the lyrics and overall mix is, imo, top rate. I can hear a certain Mr Bublé singing this! Nice job sir!

Add Count-In Measure to Looper loydb 2 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box Wishlist Jump to new postsJump to new posts
The ability to add a count-in click to a loop would be awesome. When I hit F10 to start a loop playing, the play starts immediately before I can get my hands back on the instrument.

Thanks, Andrew, Guitar is my main instrument (and I only take stringed instruments to live performances). My keyboard skills (if you could call them that) are minimal, and with midi I can correct many mistakes without having to record whole sections 10 times or more!

All the elements of a good song are here: good melody, lyrics, vocal and instrumental performance. I didn't hear influences so much, I felt like the song had its own unique vibe. Great work!

Peter: What I like, you may not like so it is best just to install Coolsoft and download a bunch of soundfonts and try them out. That is what I did and listened my song of choice with each one. Here is my pick out of the 50 or so I have tried over the years, but you may want something with a different sound to your ears. I keep them all in a directory I named, imagine this, c:\soundfonts 8mbgm_enhanced18.sf2 ChoriumRevA.sf2 Coyote Forte GM.sf2 Masterpiece.sf2 PhoenixGM2.1Final.sf2 I think they are all good and as you can see, coyote forte is among those listed.

I'm late to the party on this, didn't hear the first two versions. First of all, I really like the song! This is the second song from you I've heard I think, and I like your style, good groove and feel, two things I always listen for. Good vocal, and really nice job on the guitar! You have some good advice on the mix so I won't comment on that.

Re: AI Audio Transcriber and Stem Splitter? shlind 10 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I just tried out the new AI tool "extract to notes" (and extract to drums) in Fender Studio Pro 8 (ie Studeo One Pro 8). I have just tested it with a few songs and I think it works better than when using the earlier Melodyne-extract midi method. I have just tested it with a few bass stems and a few drum stems and a simple violin melody song. Quite simple - extract the stems - select one of the stems - and "extract to notes" (or to drums if it is the drum stem). It is easy to compare make two versions extract to notes and edit with melodyne/extract midi, and the listening to the two versions or compare the resulting notation in notation software. (one can check the notation directly i SO by sending it to Notion or export the midi and import it into another notation software).
