Biab + AI vocals give a sheen of convention and prefab to the package but that's doesn't disguise a decent melody and narrative nor is a bad thing in the ears of most listeners. Do people still drink whiskey?

Two newer midi possible midi solutions available in Band-in-a-Box are MidiSuperTracks and Microcholds. There is a video Peter Gannon made sometime in the 2010's era where he demonstrates replacing a RealTrack for a bar or two with midi and a virtual instrument. It should be pretty easy to do by creating the virtual instrument on an empty track then using bar settings to mute the RealTrack and play the virtual instrument.

In another conversation someone remarked initiating the "fix sour notes" feature worked on a similar issue.

MIDI definitely has more editing possibilities. I'm a MIDIot fossil from WAY back... But to recap previous posts, plus a couple of additional thoughts... Melodyne Studio can edit individual notes in RealTracks. Not the same as MIDI, but tasks like changing chord lead voicing or otherwise fixing a note in a chord are super easy and transparent. If you find a RealTrack you want to edit, you can TRY editable RealTracks, OR you can move the BiaB MIDI chart to a MIDI editor and do whatever you want with it. Works best with keyboards in my experience. RealTrack acoustic pianos often sound "blurry" to me, probably due to (tiny) audio stretching artifacts. Definitely try the MIDI chart tip above for those if you're not happy. BiaB MIDI guitars NEVER sound ok to me, especially strummed acoustics. There are some other programs that do these better than BiaB. But unless you have one of those, stay away from BiaB MIDI guitars. (That's not controversial, is it?)

Ron, Excellent! Love the song, vocals and that wonderful production. This sounds like it could be a long-lost just discovered Barenaked Ladies song. Killer band! Loved it all! Bob Thanks, Bob! Barenaked Ladies are WAY cooler than we are, but it feels good anyway. Just listened to them when Brian Wilson passed, for obvious reasons... Nice one Ron...cool beginning and it keeps keeping on muscular pop. If I had a druther it'd be that you track "We’re getting stale just like this beer with a bit of sustain on the beer so that it overlaps "I opened my eyes and stared at her" a little - sep takes obviously but that's what my head expected and you wonderfully subverted my expectations...a worthy task. Thank you, Ray! That's a brilliant suggestion, and I've updated the SoundCloud file to reflect the change. (Actually did that hours ago now) I was going to do it that way originally, but sang it the way I did first and thought, "Hey, that's not bad". But it wasn't as good as your way, either. Appreciate the listen and thoughtful input.

Pete, yep, THAT's a COUNTRY song. Well done! Very impressive BiaB arrangement. Are you producing these songs in BiaB? The video LOOKS like that's what you're doing, and that's REAL impressive, too. (Am I using enough UPPERCASE? YES, I THINK I AM.) Anyway...you've really got that modern country sound down...or DOWN.

Mario/Andrew/Bob/Ron...thanks for being willing to visit the "wierd" side of me...I had to get this out and hoped that it would further muddy my reputation on the forum...and, as always, thanks for the mix tips.

Arri, used to live in downtown New Orleans, and this brings back some fond memories. You've really captured the exuberance of that style of music. I'd agree with Mario that when the band comes in for the middle section they should be more up front in the mix. Once they get to that part of the tune, they're usually quite loud and clamorous. Enjoyed your tune!

Such a cool song, Tom. Love the opening walking bass and the jazz trio in general. Very inventive theme and translation to an entertaining listen. Your vocals are really nice, and fit the song perfectly. Am not crazy about the vocal FX on this one, as it sounds a bit buzzy, and a more classic treatment would seem to fit the material better. But it wouldn't make the song better if you changed it. Great job!

Bob's spot on with that. I was thinking of on-PC production, where the best results come with quite some tinkering/tuning. For live playing, I send the MIDI to my Kawai or an SD1000, for that ~0 latency.

Hey Tom! One thing I’ve learned in my limited time on the forum is the variety you provide. This song gave me the image of a person that for most part is ‘mainstream’ (verses) then has an episode (choruses). Did you record the animal-like noises in the background? If so, I would have loved to be present in a nearby room and hearing the recording process!  Loved it! While the vocal first appeared louder in the mix, it gave me the impression of a person standing close to me filling me in with running commentary of what was unfolding in the background. Task accomplished! Andrew D

Hi Peter! While neither country nor whiskey are my thing, you have written a very enjoyable song that even this non-country fella can enjoy - it just flows so well (metaphor alert) like a hand in a glove. Good work! Andrew D PS I let the tape keep rolling and also loved the vid of your live work on ‘The long road home’. Playing for people to dance to is such a great joy for a musician.

After we put the monitors back on the shelf we much enjoyed it!  Awesome! This could be a bonus track off The Rolling Stones’ Blue and Lonesome album. The write up for the song was quite enjoyable. Hated to come to "the end." The solo guitar RT sounded great - never a small feat to choose the "right" one for a production. Your friends fit nicely in too. The bass nailed the shuffle. We hear a fine mix all around. Two thumbs up from us - blues via a shuffle are so good - always. Keep blues alive! J&B

Man, you are a master of all BiaB productions .... have we said that before? Finding the "right" for your production solo RT's is not an easy task. No doubt it takes a lot of auditioning and perhaps some comping. The great build takes the listener nicely through the multiple moods. Great mix too. Well done! J&B

Pete, a song that I can relate. Like you said for demo purposes a synth vocal is OK, however I would like to hear you sing this one. Great mix If I were to put this in a play list it would be right before "Take This Job and Shove It" Super song Thank you Mario, glad you could relate lol I will admit that Take This Job And Shove It was a bit of an influence on this one! Pete
