FWIW: 1- Can you save it as a template? That is record only the metronome then save it as a song, maybe call it template. For every new project bring up the metronome only song first, then add your other tracks. Just be sure to save as because if you don't you will overwrite the metronome only song. 2-Save the metronome track as a wav and bring it into you project? Then can you have that wav track follow a tempo track? I don't use RB so I don't know however I know that I can do that in Fender Studio Pro 8 DAW.

I use Synthesizer V Studio 2 Pro (which Herb referred to as Synth V above) from Dreamtonics ( https://dreamtonics.com/synthesizerv/). - the vocal tracks it generates can be indistinguishable from actual recorded vocal tracks - they are NOT using stolen vocals like Suno and other AI services, instead, they are more like the BIAB model of paying artists to perform and then licensing those performances - they offer tons of voices but it can get rather expensive! - to generate a vocal track you can play it on your MIDI keyboard, "draw" the notes directly using the MIDI editor, import a MIDI melody or import a recorded vocal track with melody, timing and lyrics detected automatically (but imperfectly, so you'll need to do a fair amount of cleanup) - I am very happy with all of their voices that are American English but not at all interested in those with an Asian accent as they don't work for my style pf music - for a male American English type of voice I like Liam a lot - for a female American English type of voice I like Etta a lot - male voices I have are Liam, Hayden, Kevin and Asterian - female voices I have are Etta, Felicia, Natalie, and Solaria (I also have Mai who has an accent but she was free so...) I have thus far only used this tool for generating harmony parts to my vocals but I could see this being super helpful for generating high-quality demos and even for releasing as finished works if you don't plan to sing your songs yourself.

I'm surprised by what I am not seeing here, especially Fluffy Audio from Italy. Click on the FREEBIES tab. I use some of their commercial libraries as well. I was looking for a nice flute not so long ago. Thanks for pointing me to "Simple Flute"  . It looks and sounds sweet! Now, what did I want that Flute for...?

F bombs? We'd say about average for one episode of so many series nowadays.  We're late to the party but we've read all the comments and, for us, DC nailed it. Regarding the narrative it needs to be said in whatever way grasps attention. And it was very well stated. All of the tracks and the great mix yielded a stadium filling sound. It setup a standout soundstage on our monitors. Simply EPIC! And really driven home with the video. Wow. Kudos and a helluva great production! J&B Thank you Janice, thank you Bud, for your nice and positive feedback. Much appreciated ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

It's a rather unusual choice of instruments for a waltz, but it suits the song very well. Well sung, I think your vocals get better with every song. Enjoyed my listens

I've done a few Country Music Fake Disks for Band-in-a-Box. When making the BiaB file for each song, I always notice the songwriters' names. Don's name comes up often, and his songwriting is always finely crafted. RIP, and thanks for the songs.

Wow, what nice comments! Hey, BD, thank you very much and that's a wonderful compliment from you! Your songs are terrific. John Hi, Andrew! Thank you for listening...twice! I've used Clay Collins for vocals on a few of my songs but I don't think he's available anymore. I always enjoy it when I come up with a catchy upbeat tune. It's always delightful to get a message from you. I really enjoy your tunes as well. John Thank you, Bob, AurealiusB, and WaoBand, for your comments and enjoyment of the song! Hi, Mario! I think the music industry lost the craft of songwriting a couple of decades ago. I've noticed the lyrics are sung in 32nd and 64th notes instead of the 8th and 16th notes we grew up with. And there's nothing like a catchy upbeat tune as well! Thank you very much for your comments, especially the one where we need more music like this! I'll treasure that! John Hi, KDYa! I got a comment from Art Corey that he thought it was too short, too. Well, short and sweet! I've asked him to get on the forums because he's the one who introduced me to Band in a Box! Anyway, I'm happy you enjoyed the song. Thank you very much! John

That's a top contemporary rock ballad BD. Loved the mix, style and instrumentation. You're on top form and onto a winner with this one. Excellent, kind regards.

Hi John, Please revisit your initial post. There is a button at the bottom of the initial post that marks the thread as resolved. That will help others when searching for a solution to the same issue. Also, once you have the program working like you want there are selections to save and load settings. If you have to reset to factory settings you can load your settings in a few seconds.

Yep, happiness is definitely green! Love the instrumentation in this, including the fiddle solo. Hi WB. Thank you heaps for having a listen. I appreciate your comments, too. When it comes to instrumentation, I'm definitely not in your league. I always admire what you do immensely. Thanks again, --Noel

You should have been a powerpop star in the 80s. Clever and amusing lyrics. A good song to be on the X-Files soundtrack. Another catchy chorus in a superb production. Again, those BGVs are so delightful to my ears. THANKS, Scott. In my dreams, I *AM* a powerpop STAR back in the 1980s. Those were good times. But then I wake up... Ha! Ron, This song is incredibly catchy. The lyrics seem to be a reference to the upcoming release of UFO information soon in U.S.A. The sound is a bit Beach Boys-esque. The vocals are fantastic. Enjoyed my listen a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi Thank you, Shigeki. Yes, I think my lyricist seized on that topic for inspiration. But then he took it to unexpected places, didn't he? Now that you mention it, I MAY have been channeling some Mike Love on this one. Huh! I always loved to sing along to their stuff and they STILL are the template for vocal arrangements in my book of opinons. But I'm sure that they have influenced me in many ways that I don't even fully comprehend. Appreciate the listen!

Thanks so much Mario! Yes, I wanted to create a great dance groove for Kathy's lyrics. As for your question: I don't know, Kathy was probably rhyming with the word "pants". From the Build lyrics leading to the Chorus: You talk about the girls wearing black leather pants, You talk about the Russians I bet you talk to your plants! We still got the time, give me a chance, Baby won’t you . . shut up and dance, I wish that you would . . shut up and dance. The song also appears to describe, at least partly, a person who talks a lot (in a humorous way of course!).

Living in what wasn’t yet called the Silicon Valley, I was an alpha tester. It didn’t have near the functionality of the Apple II introduced four years earlier but Lotus changed that soon enough.

Wow Floyd that is really well written and arranged . . . It's another of yours that goes in my "Damn I wish I'd wrote that" listen to list! I'm jealous as I have never been able to write a 'good' song for a female vocalist. A couple duets I think are really good is as close as I ever got. My only nit pick would be the AI vocal. Now I probably wouldn't have noticed had I not known it was AI but there are some odd tones and artifacts if you really listen. Almost but not quite human sounding yet. Absolutely great song though - someone like Carry Underwood could probably make that a big hit Thanks! Much appreciated. The bit of artifacts in the vocals are not a real concern since this will be part of a whole storyboard for the show and is, therefore, "good enough" for those purposes.... I love the feminine side of FJ. The tech did a great job of retaining the you in that vocal...I can hear "you" singing it as "she" does it. The double tracking/bvox work a treat too. The song - excellent. Perhaps you should duet with you on a new one. Excellent song, production & mix. Thanks a bunch, ray.... 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. Thanks, Scott...

Hi Mario, So this is your birthday song! You must have had a fantastic day to come up with this. One small downside: I’m not that fond of this music style. I once go to a jazz festival (North Sea Jazz) with my father, and that became an overdose of jazz for me. I’ve never really gotten over that. But you do make a beautiful piece out of it!!! I find that very impressive. One moment it’s a classical orchestra, the next moment film music, and now this. A musical jack-of-all-trades, Mario!!! Hans Thanx Hans. I'm glad that you liked it for what it is; most people do not like all genres of music so don't fell bad about not liking this song. Being in a wedding band for years has made me a jack-of-all-trades and a master of none.

Hi Rob. This is excellent listening and it sat very, very comfortably in my headphones. I love what you've done. My feet started tapping somewhere around bar 2 and didn't stop until the end of the song. You're harmonica solo and vocals were terrific, and that jazz backing band was perfect. All in all, this was music at its best It's two enthusiastic thumbs up from me! --Noel

Hi Bud, Janice and Peter, I don't know why you said at first: "I know, it's not everyone's taste," and then came up with this!!! And I also see that everyone here is saying about the same thing. So you said it on purpose, Bud... You wanted to provoke these reactions, of course. Well, you succeeded. With flying colors! Let me start with Peter; amazing guitar playing, man! I thought it was truly fantastic! Your fingers must be completely worn down after that battle with the strings! I assume you have a week off now, with those fingers in a bowl of lukewarm water... And then Janice! You just keep singing with that velvety voice, as if the years don't play a part at all. Amazing! How do you manage this, time and time again? I assume you're secretly thinking a bit about my singing voice, right? And then I come to Bud, the maestro of the mix and everything surrounding it. I immediately thought those drums sounded really wonderfully clear. How do you do that? Marty was talking about EZD, do you use that too? Anyway, a lovely song and wonderfully presented! You can be proud of yourselves, Hans Thanks for ALL of those kind remarks Hans! We much appreciate them. Our drums are always RealDrums. We typically double the snare and cymbals for extra processing. And we cut and paste fills Thanks again! J&B
