Pete, cool song, and very nicely arranged for BiaB instruments. The instrumental break is a lot of fun, too. Hard to get passionate about synth vocals, knowing how well you can sing to this style. But for demo purposes, these Suno vocals are more than adequate, even with the artifacts. Those won't last long though... Nice tune! P.S., sorry about your technical issues! Very relatable.

Super arrangement, and love the sounds you're squeezing out of your "hybrid" band. Only constructive comment is to agree with the previous comments on the mix. Everything is up front, and at times it starts to sound cluttered. The mental construct I can apply to the suggestion is this: Pretend the mics are further away as you mix this, and let the band breathe a bit more. Still a super song, and a GREAT BiaB demo!

Merci beaucoup pour cette réponse extrêmement précise et documentée  Depuis le début juin ou j'ai posté cette question, j'ai pas mal évolué par rapport à ce problème... Dans la mesure où j'ai compris que ce logiciel ne correspondait pas à mes attentes... Je précise que je sais assez bien trouver des accords en utilisant la méthode "artisanale" (chanter et chercher les accords qui conviennent en les grattant à la guitare). Et je suis donc revenu à cette méthode, que j'ai complétée en utilisant quelques logiciels gratuits, ainsi que mon vieil arrangeur Korg Pa 50. Auparavant j'avais tout de même trouvé une solution pas totalement convaincante : Editer/ Accord/ Réharmonisation d'accord (à choisir) Dans la fenêtre "Réharmonise la mélodie", choisir un genre comme "bouncy jazz", qui propose quelques suites d'accords simples puis appuyer sur le bouton "Réharmoniser tout le morceau". Le but étant d'obtenir un résultat simple à partir d'une mélodie simple, Pour voir si le logiciel était capable de produire quelque chose de basique... Apparemment la simplicité n'est pas sa tasse de thé... J'ai tout de même tenté, aujourd'hui d'y revenir pour un autre motif. Mais après quelques essais, je me demande vraiment si cela vaut la peine d'investir du temps dans le maniement de cette usine à gaz où la moindre action déclenche l'ouverture de fenêtres nous demandant de régler des dizaines de paramètres. Une chose est sûre, ce logiciel n'est pas ergonomique, à tel point qu'il semble même appartenir à une époque révolue. Mais, je suis peut-être mauvaise langue et cette complexité est peut-être le lot de tous les logiciels de musique... En tout cas, je te remercie pour cette réponse qui m'ouvre quand même de nouvelles pistes de travail.

James, super arrangement for vocal accompaniment, and very creative style choice. You're in fabulous voice here, but the recording is off a bit. I agree with Tano Music that it sounds like proximity effect (singing too close to the mic). Selective cutting of some low frequencies can often clear this up. Fabulous song!

Chay, like this a lot. The buildup is nice, and the lead instruments trade off fluidly. The first guitar soloist has a nice melodic flow that's a welcome focal point for the listener. Well done!

Jay has a point, this can easily be a Permissions issue. In Sonoma and Sequoia, it is not always enough to grant full permissions to youur remote drive. You may also have to drill down to the folder and do the same. Run GetInfo on your external drive, then do the same on your folder. Click on your Owner name, then click on Apply to enclosed items in the drop-down and click ok in the popup window. Make sure that Ignore Ownership is also checked. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=31096&filename=Screenshot 2025-07-05 at 1.55.55 PM.png)

Deciding what key a song is in is often a judgement call. I don’t want a computer choosing for me. I will be happy to consider its suggestion though, including when I know it’s wrong. Just checking, are you aware you can set a different key signature in each bar in BIAB? Since you know music theory you must also know that composers disagree whether to change the key signature for a modulation.

How much of the software on your computer is owned by You? None. Not one line of code unless you wrote it. Even then, if you were working for someone else at the time, you still don’t. All you ever have is a use license subject to the terms and conditions of the actual owner. When ownership changes, the Ts & Cs may, also, and you have no say over this other than to accept or discontinue the use of the app. There are times when laws or treaties may impose restrictions on this but the End User has no say in it. For example, California law requires OS support for three years after release. Corporate America has only one requirement. That is to make money for their shareholders. If the end user of their product or service was treated fairly or not is irrelevant. Yep. One can look up Dodge Bros. v Chrysler and Dodge v United States to read the many cases that established this as US law.

This is so cool and wild. I love the way Janice sings the ooooo. The guitar solo is from another plane of existence. You hit the nail on the head with the scrolling zombies lyrics. Wild ending. Thank you for the kind and supportive comments. And, yes, we also thought Peter absolutely nailed the vibe with his solo. Much appreciated. J&B

Short answer: I don’t know. Longer answer with guesses: I believe that if you load a PG Music style and demo it, you are accessing MP3s on their website unless you have downloaded all the MP3 files to audition it locally. Because I think I read that they are MP3, even if they are instead WMA files (Windows BIAB version), they are still compressed and therefore would not suitably demonstrate any sound difference between compressed and audiophile. If I’m wrong and the demos are generated locally each time, then I would guess that BIAB would use the best available (WAV, FLAC, WMA in that order) just like a user song. And if the demos are coming from the PG Music website, I would expect that 2025 and later demo files could be FLAC. They aren’t that much bigger than MP3s. However, since the quality would be the same as audiophile it could be considered misleading. We really need PG Music to clarify. Summary: I don’t know. Great question.

floyd Excellent as always. Catchy hook! Peter Thanks, Peter... Hi Floyd, I'm finally back on the site. It's amazing how much there is to be done when a spouse passes away. It's unbelievable. But I'm almost caught up with that. Now, I have to reinvent myself. She was so much of who I am. What a wonderful song. You're a word magician and a master composer and arranger. That's quite a ride you and Mike have put together. It's already been said about your vocal. I'll just add an "Amen!" to all of that. What I enjoyed was a subtle contrast of music and lyric. Not necessarily prosody, but an intangible that buzzed around in my head. The music and soundstage are simple (but not simple to do), but the lyric is a bit cryptic and has a lot of depth. That's a really nice melding of the two facets. A job well done. Hat's off to both of you. Alan Thanks, Alan. We very much appreciate that... Well written story about a mysterious lady, very figurative, yet keeps hidden the relationship to the teller. Excellent instrumentation, small details are introduced almost imperceptibly. The chorus is really strong, echoing Stellas is a clever effect. Great vocals as always. Janne Appreciate that, Janne. Thanks for stopping by....

How can you be reluctant to lay down such a fine bass track, Ray? b-version comments, but I heard little difference between the two, so it's not my ears you'll want. Oh, yes, on the Pink Floyd. Love this, Ray. I agree with Bob that it's tough to give advice to someone who is as accompplished at this stuff as you are. My only advice would be to keep spitting your creativity at it. This may be the first time I've said I like your vocal toward the back. The harmony is so cool. If I had your sliders in front of me, I'd make some changes but I'm not sure what they'd be, or that you or anyone else would deem them improvements. A song this good cannot be ruined by opinions. I'm looking forward to hearing more of your spit on this one as well as the changes you'll incorporate from the more capable commentors.

Y'all write the Best Rock songs! Love the vocals and harmonies. Good drums, good mix. Marty is so solid, it just becomes expected... Artists at work. fj

I echo all the kudo's..I'll just say I enjoyed it a lot! Especially that spoken "Nooo.." great touch. I always love how you add some "non-musical" elements to your vocal--really gives it a personal touch, a kind of Marty trademark. Overall, great production and performances and perfect use of BIAB components. Thanks for taking up some of my valuable time--now got to get back to the "so much more"..! HAHA. Thanks, Tom. Yeah, that NO just had to be said. Slackers get no sympathy. Time is on our side when used wisely I guess. The dynamic duo strikes again. Another outstanding song. I have run out of adjectives on how good your songs are so I will just say I loved it. And you know we always love your comments, Mario. Thanks for listening. Marty, I'm not sure that there IS So Much More To say... I think you've said it all. Your writes often contain an entire universe. The Universe In Four Verses. Well sung. Good BAND. Dave is his usual Solid. Good mix. You are a music Machine!!! fj The Universe In Four Verses, another cool title. Thanks for all your kind words, Floyd. Ah, Marty: How much more can there be? This tune has it all: great vocal, terrific melody and mix, stellar write, and Dave’s excellent playing. Wow, this is really good. Grest work!! Deej Thanks, Deej. Much appreciated.

Oh yeah. Love it. A huge, well blended sound. Awesome vocals. Terrific bass and guitars. I did want a little more of the guitar on the right side (the left side pulled my ear). Good write throughout. But let's talk about that Chorus! Something special. A Great Chorus. The line repeat is overlooked these days. And then it builds perfectly after that. Killer. fj

Mario, Thank you for your sense of humor. If Mad magazine was still a thing, this could be a special edition plastic insert. You nailed it. I will say the volume came in kinda low compared to other tunes I've listened to today. Thanx Beth. I used to get Mad magazine! It was hilarious. That volume issue is weird as I always normalize to -3 dB. I will be sure to check that out.

I can't understand what 'simple arrangement' does, because to me it seems to do absolutely nothing. Even with a simple pop style, a very simple chord progression such as I-vi-IV-V, and 'simple arrangement' for that track, it's totally cuckoo, BB slaps a brilliant C sharp out of nowhere. Pic attached. I am forced to just write 'chords' such as G5 to kill as many notes as possible, but even then sometimes I find seconds. In this same track, a pop piano was playing the chord F as a cluster, with notes D and E rammed into the chord. With 'simple arrangement'. Just incredible. Not to mention, why does BB plays the seventh? There's written G there, if I wanted G7, I would have written that. BB seems to be like a deaf chef who puts too much spice in his food: you can shout all you want how you want the food the way YOU like it, but he just doesn't get it. Why does PG Music seems to assume that we don't know our chords, and it tries to think for us? As I suggested elsewhere: an option to play - only minor and major triads - seems to be painfully missing in this program. If that were there, for me BB would be an INCREDIBLE program.

this whole method is fiddly and impractical. In fact, useless. I am not trying to fix 'one note', but one note for a chord that is being played dozens of times. What a waste of time. I'll just kill the whole track

Hello, It sounds like you have found a solution to your question, but does Bm7/D bring about an option to solve your question, or does it not produce a D major triad in the right hand? Tom Marvan.
