Andrew, great intro, ending, and everything in between. I really liked your vocal and especially your lyrics. I agree with the mystic comment. Outstanding backing band and arrangement. IMHO this is your best to date.
David, I'm glad to stuck to it as your finished project sounds great. Those synth vocals sound like real humans- brilliant job on that. This must have been a bear to mix but you did a fantastic job on the mix. I agree that it sounds like an old TV show theme song and that is a good thing. Outstanding job.
Marty, that was extremely clever and brilliant. Super vocal, lyrics, video, and mix. At least you had a white haired and white bearded pianist (you know what I mean) Loved it
Same here, and I do a lot of data intensive stuff .. not as much fun as gaming, but the hot spot method works as long as the computer has a wifi option..
Thanks Floyd! Prior to finding BIAB in the early 2000s, I was a bedroom strummer with a handful of completed songs, not much talent, never sang publicly, but had lots of ideas swimming in my brain that had no way of being manifested. BIAB allowed me to translate my ideas into completed instrumentals (and then songs) with a band behind them. Then came Real Tracks, which inspired me to do my first rudimentary recordings in PowerTracks (with everything mixed to centre because that’s stereo, right? LOL), inspired me to learn some basic lead guitar and also a bit of bass. I am loving the journey. Andrew
—as we say, “there’s gold in them there hills!” Great work!
Hi Tom - thanks for the Ron Sexsmith reference, if that’s what it was. If not, you should check out his song. Thanks for the comments and noting my chord changes - something I enjoy tinkering with. Andrew
He is a fascinating person to follow on YouTube. His first YouTube channel has more than 500 videos and this guitar covers channel has 128 so far. He's toured the USA and Europe and has a "signature" acoustic guitar from a boutique manufacturer. Now he is married and living in New York (state or city? I don't know)
Muzic Trax, Sorry but no. I don't know of any free AI app or software that can be used to create music. I'm not that interested in AI right now. I'm sure I be forced to use AI in almost anything using software or firmware once it is more accurate and reliable.
As long as the Win 10 is a 64 bit operating system your pc should be able to handle 2025 Band-in-a-Box and RealBand. Almost every Win 10 installation is 64 bit. I'm running 2025 BiaB and RB on a 64 bit Windows 10 computer with a weak Intel i3 microprocessor and 8 GB of ram. The storage drive has 500 GB of storage. I'm the fourth person to use this laptop. It was originally purchased in 2007. You mentioned you plan on upgrading soon. That's a good idea since Microsoft is ending all Windows 10 updates October 14, 2025. There is an option to purchase an additional year of security updates though. Do a web search to find out more.
Well H E double L..... Our Internet went out last night. Still out this morning. 7-4-25.... Did all the obvious stuff.... Power cycle, reset the router with the recessed button. Nothing. So I called tech support. They had me do all that again. Still nothing. The technician said they'd need to send a field technician. Ok .. that's good. Figured it would be maybe later today or tomorrow but Monday at the latest. Oh no.... It'll be July 23. Say what? So I had to agree to that. They said it might be sooner if the technician has an opening. As soon as I hang up I go outside to the point of demarcation..... That little grey plastic box on the side of the house. Using my knowledge of phone systems and my tools, it becomes readily apparent that there is zero voltage on the 2 lines that comprise my DSL. Hmmmmmm. So I get on my golf cart with my tools and head to the street to see if anything is damaged and possibly check the voltage there. It's possible, after all, that the tree trimming company for the power company had damaged my underground cable. My neighbor upfront was in his yard so I asked him about his internet. He said it was out and the technician who had been there last week.... we've been having Internet drops and he had called,..... Said the company was converting our highway to fiber in the next week or two and there could be outages as the process is completed. So there's hope that the Internet could be on and off as they work on the changeover. Or, we could simply be without any Internet for the foreseeable future. The problem is.... I can't upload anything from my studio without the Internet working. And yeah ... I'm about to finish another tune not counting a few other things I need Internet to accomplish. It all involves the uploads. I can use my phone to access the Internet but working online is a non-starter until this gets resolved.
I know when my internet goes out, my son has an iPhone and uses the “hot spot” feature on it to connect all of his devices in his room. He can even play online games without any glitches. I have no idea how he uses it to connect everything electronic in his room, but he carries on like nothing happens when the home WiFi goes out 🤷♂️ Track
David, I read your notes first. I was exhausted. That's a lot of work. And then the comments. They did not give a clear picture of what was to come. Goosebumps. Chills, Mr. Cuny. LOVE this. Snyder is right. This would make a Great TV theme song (from our past). The one that wins the Emmy. And then a Grammy. LOVE the chord changes (and I'm not really a chord-changes-kinda-guy) AND the major 7ths (I am a major-7ths-kinda-guy). The changes were Exciting. Surprising. But in No Way jarring or even unexpected - although they were unexpected. Blended one to the next is how they hit the ear. Absolutely beautiful. Thrilling, even. The harmonies are Astounding! The tracks are just-right. The acoustics work perfectly. This is Great. (I never say that) It's good that you did not include a bridge or an instrumental. Here is some stuff you can ignore (because you need no suggestions on this): I hear a celeste/chime/bell walk-down-arpeggio during the chorus (yes, I've done that) and some fast upward-moving string arpeggios right the at the end (I wouldn't have a clue how to do that)... WOW. Amazing. fj
Marty, Best song title ever. Bass sounds great! A little hair... Love the write. And the delivery... Appropriate piano. Excellent mix. Terrific entertainment. fj
I vote for "This sounds just right". The vocals retain their "buried" aspect and are more easily heard. Just right. An amazing song. A truly disturbing video. (and song) One of your best. fj
I was 16 when I went to a MTV show in Lake Elsinore, California. Had no idea I would be part of a history making tv show. I also didn’t know that many teenagers would also show up from all over Southern California. It was a great party and I still remember it. Trax
