Here's a different approach... Since your service life is 10 years, get a professionally assembled hardware DAW. Select the latest generation processor and twice as much memory as you need. Divide the cost by 10 to get your annual cost. $200-300/year (less than $1/day) for your music hardware backbone is manageable for many music enthusiasts. My studiocat.com DAW purchased in 2017 lasted 8 years, and was still going REALLY strong until Windows 10 end of life spooked me into upgrading to a Windows 11 DAW...

Hi Sabrina! The synth pop is a welcome difference for this showcase forum. I think the long held vocal notes over the rhythmic backing works as a great contrast. Your vocal has a ‘Madonna’ feel to it (a compliment) which also adds to the 90s feel I also listened to ‘Invisible’ on your Soundcloud - really good backing vocal and harmonies! Andrew D

As mentioned PD is defined differently in many countries. The US has about the most stringent rules and most folks misinterpret them thinking a PD sound recording is the same as a PD lyric and melody. Every Jan 1 is "PD Day" in the US. And the PD available songs move forward one year. This started several years ago. For 2025 songs from 1929 and older are PD. This means that if you create your own version not copying anybody else's you own ALL rights to the song thus meeting PG Musics protocol. Most folks do not consider a properly vetted PD song to be a cover. Covers have to be licensed and are not allowed on the forum. We have released entire albums of PD songs. Again this applies to your use of the melody and lyric. Actual audio recordings of old songs have to be a bit older but this is not what we are addressing here as this is mostly related to using one film, etc. The below safe link is helpful. https://web.law.duke.edu/cspd/publicdomainday/2025/ Have fun!!

I'm not getting a lot in finding my way in RB with mainly ACW in RB. I get it in BB, with the tutorial vids, but ACW seems to be a different animal in BB. I don't see any setting in RB ACW for letting the program set the barlines automatically once I've tapped in the first few in real time. Having just done this as I've been typing this, it seems to be that it's set to that feature by default. Am I right about that? In BB, I feel like I've had to do more to get the barlines to sync up correctly. ACW also seems to automatically analyze the chords, which is a function that can be shut off in BB. Is that true, also?

Sync has never been on. I'm sure because, if I turn it on, it plays the Band-in-a-Box arrangement.

Yes, that’s one tool and they work. I thought another way involved a cylinder but it’s possible that is just one of these with a case.

If you purchase the optional Fake Book, you can load the song, open the book, and play and/or sing along. It's your Rock/Pop gig in a box. I ordered the book through Amazon. Be aware that it weighs nearly 4 pounds—sucker is huge. Have a good pair of reading glasses as the typeface for the lyrics is quite small. The pages are 9" x 12" ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=31165&filename=IMG_5633.jpeg) For those wondering, posating a page from a book as part of a review is an unambiguous example of Fair Use under Title IX (Copyright Act)..

That's a maybe. If the style is a realtrack you should freeze the track so what you see is what you hear. If the realtrack you want to view does not have a line under it then that is where the maybe comes in. To get that audio track to a MIDI track you will need to convert it via a program like Melodyne, which is expensive. Note you will need the polyphonic version of Melodyne or any other conversion program. If the realtrack has a line under it or if the track is a MIDI track then yes you can do it. Export the track as a MIDI track to your computer. What happens next depends on you: 1-if you can read music you can import the MIDI file to a notation program; Musescore is a free notation program. 2-if you can't read music and need tabs you must convert the MIDI file to a tab file. There are free MIDI to Tabs programs on the web. I hope this helps and good luck.

This amazing track, with alternating harmony and dissonance, accurately reflects what some people (unfortunately) experience in this life. As with Gilbert O' Sullivan's Alone Again Naturally, sad songs can speak to us as powerfully as happy ones . Thanks, I really appreciate your very kind feedback I agree what you say about sad songs, they can be our solace with less side effects than a bottle... Interestingly, this is the fourth time O'Sullivan is mentioned in the context of my song on this forum... Janne

Dreamers are a good subject for a pop song and you have mastered the story into a really catchy one Great harmonies are your guaranteed trademark, vocals sound really pleasant. Nice live feel in the mix, enjoyed those acoustic guitars. "I will always add major7th chords to the chorus" - no wonder I like your progressions  And this progression just excels in every way, perfect to give this the best 60's pop flavor, there's just not enough music like this being made... To my ears that piano solo at the end sounds bit too jazzy for a pop song  Janne

Thanks again for your help, and your order. Being self-taught at anything is an adventure. But then, so is formal education. About half my orders are via PayPal, and I've had a decent response for this release. I'm wondering how many orders I may have lost do to the S issue, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. I'll just move onward. The learning never stops, until it does. Notes ♫

Cool lyric! “I can see the insides of my eyelids or is that the blackness in her soul” Our first thought when we read this was, “Wake up and get outta there!” We much like your vocals and axe work. And those BiaB guys are rockin! The mix is big yet clean and open. YES! Excellent soundstage on the Kalis. Enjoyed it! J&B PS “AI: None. Very little "I" at all though” When we see AI we see “Ain’t Interested” J&B, THANKS! Ya'll are WAY too kind. Love your AI definition. Ha! Hey Ron this is incredibly cool man. I love those guitar harmonics but I can't believe that you would have the audacity to steal some of my tricks right here on the forum for everyone to see! As my good friend Greta Thunberg would say: how dare you! But anyway man this sounds really good all around in your classic DC Ron kicking style! Really enjoyed it! Fun tune! Hi, David. Glad you enjoyed the tune! You have so many, MANY neat musical tricks, and I'm 100% sure I've been influenced by them. Can't put my finger on the one I stole here unless it's the harmonics. But imitation IS the sincerest form of flattery (followed by forum posts) so there's that. I'm standing on the shoulders of giants for sure.

Hi, Chay. Denisse does a fine job with this. You wrote: I really wanted my vocal songs to be of a much better quality... I'm not sure what issue you've got, because it sounds good. As Bud mentioned, the real work happens in the mix. To quote Google's AI summary, mastering "polishes the final mix, making it sound its best across different playback devices and ensuring a consistent, cohesive sound." Assuming the mix is good, there are quite a few tools that will get you that sparkle that's associated with mastering. Most of the mastering tools will focus on bringing your mix into a generally accepted EQ curve. You can also adjust the EQ of the stems to help them fit into the mix better, such as adding high pass filters to everything but the bass so there's not a lot of buildup of low-frequencies that can create muddy mixes. Figuring out where you want specific elements to sit in the mix, and then bandpassing them so they stay out of other tracks is another common action. TrackSpacer is a neat tool for carving harmonic space out of other tracks so they don't mask important tracks. It's one of my favorite plugins. I haven't tried Waves' Curves AQ, but it's on my To-Do list. It automates the things I mentioned, and even seems to have functionality like TrackSpacer. But really, the mix sounds good.
