Hi Ray and Janice, Ray, I saw in your posts and try outs how you struggled 'how to please' Judith. I wrote some suggestions too. Although they were well-intentioned, there was a wink in my words. Therefore of course not serious for you. I understand that well. I will not cry. But glad you're back and Judith is wrapped in a nice, intriguing song, well sung by Janice (of course). I had some thoughts about the melody. They were a bit like what Brain wrote in his post. I also read your answer to him, so that counts for me to. No need to response on that. I also liked the video. How did you do that part with that dwawn piano. Amazing! For me, Judith can be pleased with this song. I am at least. And the lyrics were just very good! Hans Thank you Hans! Janice

Hi Mario. Wow! You've managed to channel Henry Mancini 😱!!! Amazing! This is a great listen. The introduction immediately captured me and, as the song developed, I kept on smiling at the new layers you introduced. As always, creativity and musicianship stand tall and proud in everything you do. I thoroughly enjoyed listening  All the very best, --Noel Thanx Noel. I'm glad you like it.

Ray + Janice & Bud, This is pretty complex and creative piece of music. A+ for composition. This was probably quite a tricky gig for Janice, but she pulled it off with grace. Stellar vocals! Cool blend of instruments and style fusion. Mellotron and classical guitar sounds fresh. Bass is excellent, but that is expected Two spins, super drive! Drums sound a bit on high side of EQ to my ears (I know it's DONE), otherwise mix sounds rich. Good one and thank you for sharing. Misha. Thank you so much Misha. It was quite the musical adventure! Janice

I like the complete title: What About Tomorrow -- New Version. LOVE THIS, ALAN! A wonderful write, and I dig that pedal steel. Sweet. Outstanding vocal. So captivating. I like the way you've produced it with such engaging dynamics. Prayers for you and Di, Alan. To me, this song answers the question it asks.

Always a very enjoyable listen to you, Eric. Exceptional tone and taste. Good write. Good fun. Yeah, the sax was also well done, and was the mix.

My dear Marty, at least you do one thing well: songs. Laurent Haha. Thanks, Laurent. It's everythng YOU do, and, by gum by golly, you sure do write some good ones. Marty and Dave, you two are dynamite together. Marty great bass and vocals. Dave great guitar licks! A super mix. Outstanding blues! Thank you, Mario! Cool song. Strong! But wrong! As always, your bass and Dave's noodling are VERY good, and the lyrics are pretty cool too. Enjoyed the ride! Thanks, Brain. You know how we always talk about words? Well, I think you meant "wronhg."  Hi Marty and Dave, As I wrote on YT this song is a very attractive Blues. I like that kind of songs. The solo is great, but I need to add 'of course'. Dave is really in his element in these types of songs! And you did a great job on the lyrics andvocals, but also on the bass (of course, too). There was one thing that was a bit a pitty: The song was too short... Couldn't you extended those lyrics, is crossing my mind. Nice day, Hans Thanks for everything, Hans. Sure, I could write words all day, and the guy I'm writing about has a whole life of wrong-doings. But...

That’s not really the solution I’m looking for. I’m mostly a blues player. So most of my songs are either 12 or 8 measures. I enter the chords in the 12 bars and usually do something midi (a different bass line or horn parts etc.) over the 12 bars then unfold and make changes or adjustments over the entire song. It’s that big a deal but it is three folders deep. It sounds like the 1st & 2nd endings feature will do what you're looking for.

Not sure about the size of the SSD in your laptop Vintage, I take it you are doing what you propose to save space on that Drive. Others can correct me if I am wrong here, but wouldn't it be marginally faster, other than having the Realtracks/realdrumns installed on a separate external drive to have them instead on an internal SSD. SSD are not that expensive, I got a 2TB one last year from Amazon for £100 or so. Good luck with the new laptop.

This sounds like the background music we’d hear on our space flight as we’re gazing out the window. The music is light and airy and Hayden and Solaria provide smooth little touches. Your solo was nice and dreamy. We enjoyed all the video shots. Thank you for the space trip! J&B Thank you Janice & Bud for your generous comments. Laurent Laurent, Bon soir, I really, really like this! beautiful guitar work - and the voices do great job. I love the gentle mystery of the vibe! This is the kind of music I could listen to all night! Excellent! Best to you, Alan Thanks Alan. Good start in French and thank you again for the comments. my regards to you and Di. Laurent

If Biab could intelligently snap midi to follow the chords/scale you could use a decent virtual instrument for the soloist. The other way is use RapidComposer VST in Biab.

A beautiful song for difficult questions. It's very well sung. the pedal steel is so beautiful. Life is sometimes difficult. My thoughts from the other side of the Atlantic to you and Di. Laurent

- make a backwards-convertor from new format to old format and have it available as a free download (make a new product and give it away free ... not a great business case in itself)
Consider the approach Microsoft took with its Office apps. When they added the new files formats (e.g., .docx and .xlsx), they provided backward compatibility at the file level with Save As .doc or .xls, with the warning that newer features that may (or may not) have been used in the current document or spreadsheet would be lost. At least the files could be opened by older versions of the software. I also recall Save As options for specific older versions of a given app. So...SGUX and MGUX? Yes, I think you're right. My thinking for the external app was to get as much clutter out of BIAB as possible, but having to run an external app is an unwarranted extra task. Of course the process for saving could perhaps just call that external app.

Yet another excellent cover by Leonid & Friends. As a bassist, I have extra appreciation. Leonid is the bassist and recording engineer. He may even do the mastering. My only quibble with this production is the, IMO, over-processing of the vocals, especially the male vocals. There's no "edge" to them. Agreed - though I'd add that some of the percussive accent overdubs are a little loud n jarring.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
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."
