Hey Pipeline, Great work with this! Any chance it would be simple for you to create a version of this for the Mac version? This would work perfectly for me until PGMusic builds it into the interface. Or just having this as an official option in the Mac version would solve the problem too. This should be such a simple thing for them to add so that those who really want it could easily have it.

You've outdone yourself with this production. Masterful use of the vocaloids, but the arrangement as a whole is a star.
When I re-did the track, I didn't think I'd be able to come close to the original arrangement. But the strings in BiaB turned out to be a great fit for the song, so I lucked out there.

Has a very Broadway stage feel to me--the show-stopper kind. Soothing and tranquil, but emotional and compelling. Wonderful write to boot. Excellent stuff! Liked it!
That's the best I could ask for! Thanks for your encouragement!
Nicely poetic story with a changing season and falling castles in the air - my favorite subjects
Well, looks like I've found my target audience!

Such gentle and beautiful melody and chord progression. The simple arrangement highlights those elements, that is, your songwriting skills. Excellent tune for a musical, I hope you'll be hired to compose music for one
Ha! That's probably one of the most terrifying things I can thing of. I have enough problems writing just one song. But a whole set of them, which have to tell a story and move the narrative forward? That's a whole 'nother set of skills! Then they'd workshop the play, and come back and say my favorite songs weren't working, and need to be replaced. I've got a friend who's written a handful of musicals. But he'll never see them performed, because who's going to put up the thousands of dollars it would take? That's one of the nice things about using AI voices and sticking to single songs - I can actually hear someone perform them.
Donny, not only are you having a ball in your "old man years" you are entertaining the rest of us. Plus you have the chops and vocals to pull it off. It was great to see you in action.
Yes but it needs the ability to play song files. Ipads and Android tablet can have up to half a TB memory so it needs to be able to hold some kind of modified .SGU files with some sort of RT/RDs that are light weight and a decent Midi synth. Imagine the ability to load 30 or 40 songs for a night gig. Bluetooth to your PA and your light weight system is ready.
Ipad version would be cool, but unlikely a money maker. Apps just don't cost very much, but i can imagine the value of a tablet version for live playing. Seriously your arranger idea. +1 for sure.
Here is the song from the testimony that I shared last week, I hope it blesses!! https://soundcloud.com/ronniefields/shes-cancer-free? She’s Cancer Free She faced uncertainty, with courage in her eyes, Fighting through the storm, underneath gray skies. But now the clouds have parted, and the sun shines through, A new life begins, a prayer has come true. Chorus: She’s cancer free, oh can’t you see, A victory song, another miracle to be. The angels sing, the heavens rejoice, A story of hope, a triumphant voice. The tears of fear, have turned to tears of joy, She thanks the most high, eyes lifted to the sky. Through the darkest night, she found the light, A beacon of strength, a shining sight. She’s cancer free, oh can’t you see, A victory song, another miracle to be. The angels sing, the heavens rejoice, A story of hope, a triumphant voice. She’s cancer free, oh can’t you see, A victory song, another miracle to be. The angels sing, the heavens rejoice, A story of hope, a triumphant voice. The angels sing, the heavens rejoice, A story of hope, a triumphant voice. _HAMMERS.STY Hammers Style Pop Ballad SM 58 mic Tascam DP32SD recorder Lexicon Alpha Interface Cakewalk by Bandlab
I have never worked for Warner but having worked for both Polygram and Universal I can say all this does not surprise me. What they are willing to spend money on defines any logic. Billy

Deej...glad you're back contributing with your always outstanding compositions...this is a very cool production...I love the dark edge it emotes...Ray's added parts are so well done and mix in flawlessly...the panning of the vocals is a great touch adding to the mystery and ethereal nature of the melody...your vocals are stellar (as per usual)...really nice to hear you again and a really nice "way home" with this one!
Thanks so much for listening and the kind words, Janice & Bud! Yes, Joan did a nice job with the vocals, her personality really came through. Glad you enjoyed it! Bob
Definitely a standard to Frank. A smooth song with the right amount of swagger. Sung well, bu I don't think you need an AI enhancement to do this song justice. You own voice is superb and fits the style.
We've listened to the Louis and Ella periods of music for decades so it was easy to fall into this vibe. Cool sassy vocals and an ace all BiaB session group. The horn solos were standout as was the mix. Enjoyed it, J&B
+++ HERE +++ is an Associated Press article that details how artificial intelligence was used to create vocals for a new Randy Travis song.
Nice song and vocals. The idea of using AI for Randy's voice didn't come from his team, but from Warner Music Nashville Co-President Cris Lacy. My guess is that Warner Music thought the best way to introduce AI vocals was with a "feel good" story, and Randy was happy to oblige. In fact, that's exactly what they say in a press release:
Quote
"The creation of 'Where That Came From' is an example of how the music industry can rewrite the rules of technology use within the creative community and harness the power of AI in a positive, fair, and honest way.
From a technological perspective, the AI vocals something more akin to RVC, in that they need a "real" vocalist to sing the song. James Dupré was that vocalist. He was someone who had toured with Randy after his stroke, performing as Randy's voice. So they'd obviously had a good working relationship. The recording used for Randy's song was one that James had done decade earlier, but was never released. I initially thought this was cool since everyone involved was fully informed, but that's not the full story. Rolling Stone wrote that James "was just as surprised as everyone when he heard Randy Travis’s AI-assisted vocal", noting that "Dupré was stunned when he realized that it was actually his voice he was hearing, at least in part." James was paid for the rights to use his performance. But Rolling Stone writes that the Warner rep "declined to specify whether it was a one-time work-for-hire payment or if Dupré will participate in royalties." And instead of giving James "sung by" credit, Warner created a new “vocal bed” tag that was coincidentally ready be rolled out just in time for the song. I've got to wonder: Warner got a hold of an AI team in London, supplied them with vocal stems to 54 of his songs, got together musicians to create the backing for the song, and paid producers to spent months to work on the track. How could they have forgotten to contact James about using his vocals? My gut feeling is that Warner wouldn't spend all that money on the song if there was the slightest chance that James wouldn't allow them to use his vocals. I'd bet that Warner's lawyers had already concluded James' track had been "work for hire", and conveniently could be used however Warner wanted. This included use as the basis of an AI vocal - something that didn't even exist when it was recorded. I would hope that James a bit of additional compensation, because who wants to have the a feel good story about the ethical use of AI ruined by the "vocal bed" singer? At the same time, I doubt that they wanted to set a precedent of "vocal bed" tracks being eligible for royalties. If they were, they wouldn't have evaded the question when asked. While some news articles were quick to point out that the basis of the song was James' performance, it was notably absent elsewhere. James isn't even mentioned on the YouTube video credits, and reading articles like the one in The Los Angeles Times, you'd never know any vocalist other than Randy was involved in the creation of the song. What's problematic is that James' performance of the song wasn't good enough to release, but it was good enough to use as the "vocal bed" that was overlaid with Randy Travis' voice. Not really surprising, though. All in all, a bit less of a "feel good" story for me.

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."
