Janne, that was a very interesting listen. I marvel at some of the chord choices you come up with. They are things that I never would have thought of but they work out so well. Some very captivating lyrics that hold the listener’s attention. Joke? You wouldn’t be fiddling with us would you? I enjoyed my time spent listening,Tom

Truly an inspired send up, and a great tune! Loved everything about it, but above everything else, I loved the contemplative profile pic on the SoundCloud page. Just too, TOO sublime. Ha!

Janne, well, THAT's a sad story, isn't it? Lovely melody and backing track! The vocal arrangement is quite nice, too. My only suggestion is to perhaps improve the vocaloid performances. They hit all the right notes but sound a little too perfect and unnatural. I don't know anything about vocaloid programming so ignore me if this is off base. Really enjoyed your sad-but-beautiful song!

Shigeki, although the RT version was good I much preferred the live band version. Kiana has a fantastic voice. You are an outstanding arranger and composer. Loved it.

The fiddle gives it a sense of Grappelli playing with the swing kings. ................. That was my first impression also. Nigel, this is an excellent version of one of my favorites that I have played many times. I have heard/played it swing before but never country swing, great job on that. This is top shelf all the way.

Thanx so much for the great suggestions. I did vary the volume but not the pitch; that is a great idea. My tricks were: 1-eliminate that slur that made it sound like a theremin 2-expression - foot pedal 3-play mode - slider 4-bow position - slider 5-bow pressure - slider

Fair warning, Tom, but I cannot NOT listen to a new Tommy Adams song. And for this sermon, I stand strong in the choir. You're preaching to the choir with a smile on your face and a song from the heart. Well said and well sung. Very catchy chorus. Cool band, and I particularly enjoyed the mandos. Man, there is suspense in that last sustain chord. Marty, thanks for dropping by and leaving a smile, Tom

Baby Won't You Please Come Home Another one in our Public Domain series. "Baby Won't You Please Come Home" is a blues song written by Charles Warfield and Clarence Williams in 1919. The song's authorship is disputed; Warfield claims that he was the sole composer of the song. The song has been covered by many musicians and has become a jazz standard. The first hit version was Bessie Smith's 1923 recording, which stayed on the charts for four weeks peaking at No. 6 thank-you for posting the history of the tune. Very interesting. I can see why it became a standard. Yet you made it sound modern with the tastefully done mix, vocals, bass, & guitar too. Way to go! Best, Chad Thanks! We tried to make it sound fresh - at least with the blues rock genre. 😀 J&B

Yes, you should feel BIAB is more ‘peppy’ feeling. If you get an M.3 SSD drive for BIAB, that will make an amazing difference in file and RealTrack loading. Next to that is the CPU speed for regeneration of songs. Just knowing i3 versus i7 doesn’t guarantee a performance increase. There are lots of speed levels and number of cores in each line. I’ve seen an i5 blow the doors off a lower spec 17. So, compare the processor speed ex. 3.7 GHz and then look at the number of cores. Sites by Intel and third parties like Geekbench can compare CPUs you might buy. I just went from an i7 that was good seven years ago to a mid-spec i9. It does feel faster overall in everything I do.

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks
MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:
There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:
1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track
