Reading about these wonderful compositions of yours is second in enjoyement to listening. This is absolutely fantastic, Mario. Outstanding oboe sound and the perfect melody throuhgout. All of the musical magic you pack into these productions is second to none --i.e., the best. Music hits emotion.

Hi, Andrew. I know nothing of Elliott Smith (though now I will), but I DO know a good song when it plays. This waltz is terrific, and I love the vocals, soft yet forceful. I also love that video. Very creative write and production. Well done.

Different in some ways, but so Bob & Joliz in all the best ways. The drums pound extra definition for the lyrics. The lyrics are (as always ) extraordinary. Dirge-like in sound and message. All the best to you two.

Acute observations. Cool tune well played Thanks, Herb. I refer you to my YT comment.  ...and my reply to you, Chay. Thanks again. Depressing but important song about how we are our own brain police. Love the lyrics and the idea behind it. Great work by everyone involved ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Thanks, Brain. Superbly dark, darkly beautiful. Truth rarely is happy-clappy. Well done, Marty ... and good job, Dave, adding musical sauce and spice to the song alike the best chefs ... without being noticed too much  Bravi. Thanks, James. I like the oxymorons. Spice Dave... I like that too.

To lingyai, your link of You've Got to Hide Your Love Away loaded perfectly and played perfectly including using the El Paso style of all RealTracks. I believe the problem is on your end. Also, when you work with Notes (and possibly PG Music) to solve this, please ask Notes if he would prefer you take down the public link to his work. Thanks. I've deleted it from my PC. Yes, I'd prefer if you take the song down. We've all had a chance to try it. Thanks. Also, let me know if the F5 trick works or not. If it worked, I'd like to know just in case someone else has the same issue. Also, don't give up. I want to make sure you get what you paid for.

Yes, he was "a unique, impassioned voice" with one of the best anti-war Vietnam protest songs ever. RIP Country Joe

Hi Shigeki, Nice to hear from you (again), and especially this song you sang. I only listened to this version, because I like to listen to vocals. It wasn't so difficult to imagine what you were singing, although my Chinese is bad. But love stories are in a way similair... But your two lines ("the old sweet love reminds me of your smile / the old sweet love reminds me of a dream") helped me a lot too! For me, your vocals are very good and the music is also great! Hans

Hi Laurent, This song reminds me of the Bee Gees, although their voices were much higher, even higher than that singer's. But the trumpets and the melody gave me that feeling. You captured that era perfectly! I also thought it was the '80s. But who cares. Great song! Hans

I usually don't watch videos, but this is one song where I think it's compulsory. Great tune, Hans, with terrific energy and a lot of fun elements (door closing sound effects). I stil think your productions are sounding particularly good since the new studio. Thanks for including the English lyrics. I'm very used to using Google Translate and have no problem doing so, but I appreciate you eliminating that step for us. I wasn't familiar with this guy (I know nothing about Dutch politics) but I'm glad he's being shown the door if he's a buddy of Netanyahu. Again, great song, super energy and super creative as we've come to expect from you. Hi Rob, I'm so glad you did it this time! I know it's complicated for someone who doesn't live in this small country. And he is not yet gone, in about 2 weeks we know for sure. Then there will be elections. I was going to sing this song with another singer, but she didn't dare for fear of her windows being smashed. My wife isn't happy too about me having released the song. So, if you don't hear from me anymore, you know what happened ;-) And that's Martys' fault, with his stalking...

Hi, Opur. Very dark and cool. Super vocals and backing vocal arrangement. Like the instrumental backing track a lot. The synth with the slow attack works really well to build the tension. Some good production notes in the posts above so I won't repeat them. Hard to place Covid songs in context with so many current global issues. We have a few Covid songs, but they'll likely stay in the vault... You have a really nice voice and ear for production, and I hope you'll post more.

Scott, It's a beautiful guitar solo reminiscent of Hank Marvin. It doesn't feel like a practice piece at all. The video is also fantastic. Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Was this style in an earlier version? If so, I could try reloading the 2005 version and see if it comes up with that, but I thought the new versions didn't delete earlier files, just added to them.. I ahev thought about completely reloading 2026 and seeing if they turn up. Arthur, I suggest that you use PG Music's Chat window to talk to someone directly at PG Music. It is possible that the Realtracks you are missing were not included in the MegaPak. (The MegaPak does not contain all the Realtracks.) The Chat Window can be accessed by clicking on the blue circular icon in the bottom right corner of your monitor. --Noel

B.D, Every aspect of it is amazing. Your playing skills on piano, guitar, bass, and drums. Your ability to get AI to sing. Your ability to write lyrics in English, which is not your native language. Your ability to create videos. And your ability to compose and arrange music. I'm impressed by everything about those. Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi I really appreciate your kind words, Shigeki Adachi! Now I'm blushing a little. Thanks a lot for your detailed comment. Makes my day

I stand by my first impression on YouTube: it's a very, very weird song. I have no idea how anyone could come up with such an idea. But: I like it. In all its glory. It's different, but in a very good way, with lots of cool ideas. Mix/production is pretty good, maybe the vocals could be a little louder in some places, as they are sometimes a little hard to understand. But still, I _really_ enjoyed my listen. Good work

Paul, what a great song Fantastic arrangement Loved the piano and your vocal Outstanding lyrics Your mix was perfect Loved it FYI - You probably know this already but Fender Studio Pro comes with the monophonic version of Melodyne. You must upgrade Melodyne if you want a polyphonic version.

Hello ROG, I appreciate the feedback. I worked through your test procedure and we are having the same issues. The only difference I see in our results is that, for me, if I edit a displayed note and change the duration (without cancelling and reselecting the note) the note moves to the displayed bar as opposed to disappearing. Since we have both reported it, I will put my faith in PG Music that it is being considered. Hopefully, feedback soon. Thanks.

Hi Dave, Chris and Marty, I heard your funky track on YouTube a few days ago. I commented then too. I thought it was a great song with really good vocals from Chris; even a double Chris! And I still think this way ;-) I can't remember ever hearing a funky track from you before. But as you said, this is a remix, so I should have heard it, I guess. But most importantly, I really enjoyed it, just like everyone else above! Just like you, I'm also busy remixing or even rewriting older songs. Especially because the mixes weren't that great. So soon all the songs on the forum will be ours. What do you think? Hans

Hi BGP, If you right-click your mouse in the Tracks window, then click on "Generate" from the pop-up menu, you find the option "Freeze track from generation" available. This should do the job for you. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32406&filename=freeze tracks 2026.jpg) --Noel
