This is a remix of a 2023 post, so thank you those on this forum who criticised some of the gains. "Venus Walks Again" (2024 remix) uses the same chords as in the original "Venus Walks" and Venus Walks V3: Venus Speeds Home", plus in all 3 each section starts at 3/4 timing and then switches to 4/4. The wordage in one of the first and last images thematically follow on from those in the original "Venus Walks" video. Strings & Warm Pad: Sirius - Smooth Jazz Strings & Warm Pad #2: Enya44 - Soft Ev 16 Techno Orche Pedal Steel: Bash Happy Pop Country ~ Eddy Dunlap Drums: Country Rock Guitar Solo Pop Ba ~ Brian Fullen Bass Guitar: Country Rock Guitar Solo Pop Ba ~ Tobin Frank Rhythm Guitar: Country Rock Guitar Solo Pop Ba ~ Darin Favourite Organ: Country Rock Guitar Solo Pop Ba ~ Gene Rabbai Organ Solo: King Fast Blues Rock Organ ~ Charles Treadway Guitar Solo: Nashville Radio Power Bal Solo ~ Danny Rader Rhythm Gitar2: Jovian Divine Alt Rocl Soloing ~ Mike Durham Harmonica Solo: Vicksburg Harmonica Even-8 Blues ~ L.

Love it! Yes, you definitely can write a song using only 2 chords and yours is a corker, both lyrically and with added instrumentation. Way back in 1969 when I was 18 and in my 2nd band in which we only played our own material I wrote a 2 chorder that worked perfectly for drums, bass and guitar with a separate vocalist - I was a drummer back then and learned to play guitar as I was most interested in writing songs. Sometime in the 80s I rewrote the lyrics and that version is the only song I have on YouTube with my vocals and only playing an Eko Ranger I've had since around 1976. But I only recorded that 10 years ago when testing a new microphone, so besides it being unrehearsed the guitar wasn't tuned to standard pitch, so I've not been able to adapt it using BiaB. Thumbs up for the 2 chord song!

Chay...really nice groove throughout...loved the sax and the contrast with the guitar solo...both were fitting though very different...nicely done! Thanks for listening and commenting, Dan. Very much appreciated.

Hi, Fred. Nice and moody! Love the sound - vocals, backing tracking, all of it. Lots of cool things going on with the arrangement, and well sung. Technically, a needle doesn't have a head; that would be a pin.

Wow very cool intro Dan. Backtrack has such a cool groove to it. Excellent vocal and lyric. You are really getting the vocaloid dialed in. Well done.. Scott...thanks for your thoughts...yeah me and my vocaloid kids are having a lot of fun....Dan Dan, beautiful song! Great arrangement and production, as always. You are really making amazing strides with Synth V, and you've definitely put your own touch on them. Just a great job all the way around. Hey Ron...I appreciate you giving it a listen...I'm glad you enjoyed it...Dan

I never intended to get into the zone, I never tried to do it, and I don't think you can intentionally get into the flow. With enough experience, it just started happening. I didn't even notice it at first. Agreed, that has been my experience. And the brain science research will continue. Not sure where it will lead, most likely in unexpected destinations; perhaps to better understand and treat savants.

I concur with Bob: new favorite! The harmony is delicious. And the vocal is an A+. A tuneful tune that is a joy to listen to. I can see why it was put on the playlist. The production is pristine and well mixed.

Thanks Adar for the explanation and appreciate that the RT Picker section is by design, of course selecting a RealTrack is simple enough. Just thought it would be very useful to have more options when looking for a particular RealTrack .( there are hundreds available) Something like the RealDrums picker options would be a great addition. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=27874&filename=Capture picker.JPG)

FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS RE BUYING A USB AUDIO INTERFACE. (this is more aimed at users new to music production…. based on many years of buying interfaces for myself, and seeing typical mistakes made by others in buying etc etc.) 1..just because a friend is happy with an interface doesnt necessarily mean you will be. 2..there are so many differently configured pc's out there that what might work on one pc might not on another. 3..just because someone on the net says 'i'm happy with xyz' doesnt necessarily mean you will be particularly if you have different feature set needs. 4..if you're baffled why an interface doesnt work on your pc but does on someone's pc you know…it could be simply that your friend has a pc that's been specifically optimised for music production or custom built by a manufacturer for music production and tweaked or your friend isnt on the net whereas you are and thus your running special protection mechanisms that take pc resources away from the primary task of music production. There are many reasons… regarding buying or optimising an existing pc for music production have a leisurely read of this… https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=795663#Post795663 5.so youve been on one or more recording forums and are baffled by the many different usb audio interface recommendations. For example, start a thread on a forum… 'I'm a new user…what do you all recommend as a usb audio interface'....youll get a load of different answers and opinions from studios large and small…. thus its important to assess your OWN feature set needs which might be completely different from people recommending a product on the thread you started. 6..as i said in the highlighted thread above to save disappointment its imperative imho to try and test the interface via renting (very inexpensive) for a week or get a 30 day return. The gear shop I deal with has a no questions asked return/money back policy. 7..it's very important to do one's homework prior to purchase. and really research the many many interface offerings on the market versus your needs so you dont miss the best product for you…and i would suggest not to rush into a purchasing decision. The interface, and I can't stress this enough is 'THE HEART OF YOUR STUDIO', i.e. in the same way people take their time re-buying a house to live in…same goes for an interface so buying mistakes arent made. Another reason to 'try before buy'. 8..some people are swayed by user ratings. i suggest you do your own testing and research because your pc might be different in how its configured or they are using hot shot pc's that cost oodles versus your old clunker that might need optimising for music production. 9..A BIG FOCUS in your product search should be interface DRIVERS and their performance. just because someone on the net gushes about their interfaces drivers…maybe your system is different. you won't know till you test ON YOUR PC. 10..i can't stress enough that the combo of pc and interface deliver very low total latency. please read up carefully on the net about how to get a very low latency music production environment... and/or see my link in this post. as you can see the purchasing decision re an interface should not be made without considering various factors. Finally, one's budget should be considered. as ive been in tech for many years I typically buy in the middle price range…as i'm always concerned about rapid changes in technology/obsolescence …just something to consider....also if i see price drops on a product...and its not a rule..but i will ponder if a new product version is coming out. Now you might want to know where you might look at lots of different interfaces. There are many sites on the net that sell a plethora of devices where you can research devices with also interesting articles and/or blogs….eg… https://www.sweetwater.com/c695--USB_Audio_Interfaces https://www.zzounds.com/cat--Audio-Interfaces--2418 https://www.musiciansfriend.com/audio-interfaces and many others on the net….also try your local gear shop if you have one nearby. I hope the above helps someone. happiness. om

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
