I agree with Janice and Bud, great arrangement, sounds like a professional sound track, and is soothing.
Thanx so much Ronnie. I appreciate your kind words.

Thanx so much, especially for that suggestion. I will keep that in mind for my next song(s).
Epic and relaxing ... if those aren't contradictory. Big sound! Great performances, arrangement, backing tracks and mix. We never cease to be amazed by the controller and the oboe is a treat. Enjoyed it, No Names
Thanx Janice and Bud. I am trying to improve on my breath and keyboard controller combination. Hopefully I will get better.
Donny, the backing band sounds great. FWIW I found the lyrics hard to follow. IMHO they sound be louder as parts are lost in the mix. That is just my two cents and others may not agree.
Yep, you are right, I may do a live cut tonight and replace it. I was actually trying to write on the fly. I am sure you know that I have at least ten ongoing ideas that need to get into production material, all about the balancing act. I will say that it is great to be in my 70's and still writing so much 'keeper' material. But yea, I just wanted to get the idea down, now I can do a much better live track, thanks. I enjoy listening to your production work. Donny G
Mario, Nice work on the controllers. Cool oboe... A flowing melody. Easy on the ears. Description: Meditative. Relaxing. Engaging. Title: The Rest Is History Lovely. fj
Thanx Floyd. I believe I am becoming more confident with the breath and keyboard controllers. Time will tell.
Chay, outstanding work on the song and the video; you are a multi-talented individual! Super mix. Loved that sax and the B3. This is outstanding in many ways. Great work.
Looks like a powerful update. You are correct, the developer listens. I suggested exporting the tempo map, and here it is. My browser flagged the download because not many have yet downloaded it. I did a double-take with I saw the update is only 112 MB. That's less than one RealTrack.

An enjoyable eggscape from … from? … well, from the pan! I enjoyed the whole treatment of this musical eggscapade. PS: I used to eat a lot of eggs as I was master omletteer, but after almost dying 14 years ago I became allerchick to them!
Thank you Waoband! Eggscapade and allerchick.... LOL!
Alan this is an outstanding piece of music. I wouldn't call it Southern Blues, maybe Jazz blues or Smooth Jazz blues? Regardless of what you call it this is a work of art. Loved it.
Donny, your linked page reads "This track was not found. Maybe it has been removed". Went to your homepage but there was no new track. Looking forward to hearing your new tune when it's available!
Hi Ron, Thanks for your generous comments. Yes - whenever I do a Jazzy swing song I almost always use Oliver Gannon's Rhythm guitar - it goes so well with an acoustic bass and brushes. Best Regards Nigel
Had my first need to render down a file to a WAV, so went into the save special menus, and, no WAV, only AIFF?? Is this true that the MacOS version does not support saving a file as a WAV?
Hello, I just entered a simple song sequence and for some reason the drums decided to stop playing just for these bars in the two red boxes. I have tried everything to make the drums continue playing, can anyone help me?
Glad you found RealBand. It's a very good program especially if you're not already deep into another DAW. If you are comfortable using Cubase, then make sure you've also installed the BIAB- Plug in program. It will help the workflow between BIAB and Cubase as a VST. Mario, no inconvenience at all. Missing things is the world I live in today....
Re sterling audio audio h224 interface… There is an interesting video i found comparing on you tube the h224 and focusrite…. It seems the very inexpensive h224 might have several advantages. see the vid… lots of other videos on you tube too including sound examples. NOTE…i dont know if it's multi client. but for someone getting into music production not wanting to spend oodles…it might be of interest. The sound examples I heard were impressive. as always/caveats …ymmv…blah blah..youll have to test one etc. Most gear shops have a 30 day policy. happiness. om
Your write up is worth the price of admission! “The first version had more than twice as many lyrics. With every word removed, the song got better.” Yep, perfection is when there is nothing left to take away … rather than add. Like you we tend to write failed relationship songs for Janice to sing about “those bad men” (as Hans calls them😊) and like you we are very happily married but those songs are a good challenge. Natalie sounds excellent and those breath intakes sound so natural. The arrangement and the dynamics from the band and the singers are very good. We love this: “Life is so much better without you Green is so much greener without blue” Per always great audio and vid production. Enjoyed it! J&B
Great news. I just made a quick test for one song. It seems that Biab imports the overall chords and structure ok I had to set the BB song bar offset to 1 in the XML import menu (default was 2). I just made a very quick test with one single song it seems to get the "basic" chords in but missing the qualifier ie Bm comes in as B and G7 as G etc, but I have not analyzed it in detail. It looks like it is in the import function, if I open the XML with MuseScore4 the chord qualifiers are shown there.
