Janice & Bud, I remember this song well. At the time, it was one of my favorite songs from you two. Listening again, that still stands today. Just a great, great song. The performance by Janice is a standout and the video adds something very special to an already special song. "The time has come for more looking up
There’s been too much staring left and right
Why don’t we quit counting our likes and friends
keep the spirit strong things are gonna be alright" Perfectly stated and it feels even more relevant today... Bob Thank you so much Bob. We are glad you felt the video added to the song. As mentioned in our post we initially had some reservations about posting it. We appreciate all you said and, man, having you quote our lyric is very special as we are huge fans of your writes! J&B

J&B&P (that sounds like an lawyers' office doesn't it!), listening to this song was an outstanding passage of time for me! You all are so good together. Super vocal, mix, guitar, and video.

Beth, lovely song. Do pray your friends are ok. Know communications are crippling the ability to know the extent of the damage and loss, even still. What a mess... The "hissing flute" really wasn't noticeable to me. Most flute patches have a breath envelope in the attack. If your flutes were MIDI (and not a loop) you could edit the patch in the synth to reduce the breath attack. But I think it's fine. The congas at about 2:00 sounded a bit out of sync to me, or at least they didn't feel like they contributed. But I liked the congas at about 4:00 as they seem a nice extra dynamic to drive the song to the conclusion. Genre? Hmmm. New Age? The relaxing music and message of hope and redemption seem to fit. But I'm neither an expert nor a fan of genre categorization... BUT...I did love your song!

. . . a Heath-Robinson-esque construction. Every day I try to learn at least one new thing, today it's Heath Robinson, somehow this guy's name never made it on my radar. But I just love how this guy's brain worked. At least he's getting his excersie on that crank

Carl, another instrumental masterpiece. I really liked your backing tracks and guitar. You have a great ear for mixing, and excellent arranger and a multi-talented musician. I'm jealous!

Hi Nigel, I'm delighted you enjoyed the song. I agree, a vocal would be complimentary to the music. I've come nowhere close to to writing a lyric that would work. I' always open to others who miht want to write a lyric - with equall PRO rights. I was a little concerened about the bass. I'm on a secondary computer while my main laptop is on the shop. Tghe generic souncard in this laptop isn't very good it doesn't csarry the lower frequencies very good. When I get my main laptop back, I'll add a little more volume to the bass. Take care, Alan

Hi James, Such a soft and tender arrangement! The backing tracks are perfect. The synth voices speak for themselves - perfect for the tune and arrangement. You did an excellent job putting this together. Very well done! Wishing you the very best. Alan

Hi Alan, Very tasty jazz. A couple of suggestions: 1. Vocals would be great. 2. A little more bass to provide the guitar with a bed to play against and offset the snare. Best Regards Nigel

Hi Marty, I listened to this about 2 weeks ago and thought I'd left a comment here. Obviously not! Cool and provocative lyricwith the perfect accompaniamnet. That pedal steel was a really nice truth. And your vocal is stand-out! Gotta agree with the message. Very nicely done! Alan

Hello Chay, A real nice mix of sounds. Everything holds its place without stepping on anything else. That's not the easy thing to accom0lish, but you managed it very nicely. Nice guitar work and the fiddle was a treat. Congrats on a job well done! Alan

BIAB only looks so cluttered and uninviting because PG has responded to its users who have asked for so many bolt on functions. This is partially true ... part of the art of evolving and advancing products, especially software, is in seeing the emerging patterns and forming the product into a cohesive and elegant whole. "Bolting on" seems to be PGM's way, but what one ends up with, by so doing, in a Heath-Robinson-esque construction. (William Heath Robinson's drawings may be unfamiliar to some ... here's a link if wanted Heath Robinson's absurdly ingenious inventions )

I solved the problem. I had accidentally loaded mg1 files and since the song picker doesn't automatically update its list, I didn't notice that the saved data was in an MGU file. It's one of the reasons why I've never wanted to get more involved with band in the box. There are so many overloaded dialogs, but unfortunately they don't reflect things like filtering and sorting according to modern and common criteria. Every time you use the program, you feel like you're back in Windows 1990, even though you're working with a MAC 2024.

I've also seen a lot of resistance to change in the forums during the many years I've been here, and I'm convinced that this attitude has had an undeniable influence on the development of the program.

As a user since the 1990s and now in my 70s, I posted about the new stylepicker not being as easy (for me!) to use as the old one and got a bit of a telling off for not taking the time to learn a new tool that actually didn't offer me too much in the way of useful improvement. But as an old and existing user i'll get used to it and i'm not holding up progress. The BIAB GUI is so complicated because the functionality of BIAB has been tweaked so much to meet the demands of users who want BIAB to be a DAW not simply an auto accompaniment program. That is PG responding to users not ignoring them. Giving BIAB so muc h in the way of new functions has meant a complicated and confusing interface and I understand why people don't easily get used to it. But if you combine BIAB at its simplest with the extra functionality you get with RB (or well known DAWs like Reaper) generating a basic track is still quite easy. as PG say in their blurb.........Band-in-a-Box® is so easy to use! Just type in the chords for any song using standard chord symbols (like C, Fm7, or C13b9), choose the style you'd like, and Band-in-a-Box® does the rest... Band-in-a-Box® automatically generates a complete professional-quality arrangement of piano, bass, drums, guitar, and strings or horns. That is all you need to do before you transfer to a DAW - which is the work pattern a lot of us use. BIAB only looks so cluttered and uninviting because PG has responded to its users who have asked for so many bolt on functions. A real example of 'be careful what you ask for'. Do the 'newer looking' programs that 'young people' like actually do what BIAB does? It's an amazing program that is as complicated or as simple as you wish to make it.

Matt. whoa there matt...i'm a looong time user also. and all for pg doing things that improve a product and make life easier for the user base. look at the many product suggestions ive made over the years includeing many this year re bb and rb because i would like to see pg continue to be successfull. there was no intent on my part to demean long time users like yourself or anyone. all i was trying to say is for some people in this world ...sometimes they are resistant to change. its just good old 'human nature' at work. when i wrote that i was thinking of say a user that bought into pg products lets say just a couple of years ago and has mastered all the various advanced features of bb and nooks and crannies. with some people its understandeable if they sigh if they are being asked to do some things differently or re-learn something or modify their workflow. me i love improvements. eg the new tracks window in bb....and ive made several suggestions about it which, if implemented, i feel would make bb a market slayer matt. i will repeat there was no intent on my part re current long time users. i was just commenting on how human nature can sometimes be from my life experiences. ALSO i'm not singling out pg at all....its tough for any developer. ive seen people running all sorts of non pg music apps sigh and be a bit resistant to change....just human nature....thats all i'm suggesting. i wish you the best matt. happiness. om
