That was exactly the intent The sax lulls you and then ... but somehow, to me anyway, it all fits together Then the sax chills it out again. Thanks! The guy I normally jam with said 'I need to digest those chords for a bit' /LOL, when I can throw him back on his heels .. smile

Re: You knew this would be coming, right? Bass Thumper 1 hour ago Forum: Off-Topic Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Terrible idea. Choosing instruments is far too difficult and time consuming. Plus operating a mouse is laborious and may cause wrist injury. We need to be able to tell Alexa to compose a song where it decides on the genre, tempo, key, instruments, lyrics, song structure and of course all mixing details. This way everyone can feel good about being a pro-musician wink

Re: Come Back Home (with Joliz) Andrew Dee 1 hour ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Hi Bob and Joliz! This song is really good. I love your choice of muted acoustic which acts in part to aid with the percussion; that fine e-piano and the vocal ooos sitting nicely underneath all. Is that you playing the solo on your Collings? If so, a really fitting tone and melody - so glad it came back several times! The chorus title ‘Come back home’ - you sing it as a plea, which is what one would do in the story, so that’s a highlight of this song - I can hear it in my mind as I’m typing. It’s like the verses serve to remind the singer of all the things he’s missing and reminders of what they once had, as evidenced by all the things around, until the point where he can’t hold it in and he has to release his unrestrained plea: ‘Come back home!’. This is your best as far as I’m concerned. Andrew

Re: Play Button in StylePicker Not Playing the Highlighted Style AurealiusB 4 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Thanks for the explanation of the line from Page 74 in the BIAB 2026 manual: "You can also audition a style by actually playing it over the current chord progression of your song." Followed by this line: "The green arrow button plays your song with the currently highlighted style." My mistake for thinking that "auditioning" a style is the same as "previewing" a style.

A little bit of poetic license.... I have 2 creeks and I'd really like them to be deep enough to jump into but the reality is, they're more like 18 to 24 inches deep in most places unless we have a lot of rain. My dogs sure enjoy them. Thanks for listening

Re: Joe's Apology K-Dub Ya 17 hours ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Hello Mr Dee Excellent, I’m glad it’s caught you off guard, it should make for an interesting get together. Hopefully Mr DB will also be taken aback. The beauty of this is that I didn’t have to come up with any lyrics, just let the music tell the story (ish). I enjoyed looking for that descending progression at the end of the verse, it goes to a really dark place. I didn’t go looking to include an F by using the Am#5. I was just trying to maintain the C,G,D,A,E progression in the verse, whether they be major or minor or whatever, I just kept experimenting until it sounded pleasing to my ears. Looking forward to hearing yours and seeing how you’ve tackled the same challenge. Cheers Andrew. See you soon.

Hi Scott. Thank you for taking time out to have a listen. I appreciate it. And thanks for comments, too. The world is indeed in a crazy place right now. My theory is that there are too many megalomaniacs on the loose at the moment. Hopefully, time and commonsense will prevail. Thanks again! --Noel

Jonathan Tetelman... Chilean-American Opera Star (and former New York DJ) Noel96 20 hours ago Forum: Best of YouTube Jump to new postsJump to new posts
As Jonathan Tetelman's journey shows, sometimes the path to success takes luck, fate, talent and unexpected twists and turns. Born in Castro, Chile, in 1988, Tetelman was adopted at approximately 6 to 7 months old by an American couple. He was raised in Princeton, New Jersey. His musical talent was discovered by a local teacher, leading him to attend the American Boychoir School in Princeton. He later trained as a baritone at the Manhattan School of Music before transitioning to a tenor at the Mannes School of Music. He also formerly worked as a nightclub DJ in New York City. In the video below, he sings "On The Street Where You Live" from "My Fair Lady".
