Fun song, Mario! Nice job on the guitar. Read your comments on arthritis, one of the joys of getting old I guess! I struggle with that sometimes too.

Dan I tried the issue you were having with the chord track putting the ties on bars with the same chords. It still does this in the 2025 BIAB program but it seems to work ok in the DAW plugin. At least in the simple test I did with trying to duplicate your issue. Quick test on my end and I think you are correct! Every chord is played. Thanks for the help with this one. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=29318&filename=Screenshot 2024-12-07 045752.jpg)

"Maybe it is better that I see if I can replace the 256 GB SSD of my computer with a 512 GB SSD!" That would be the best option. Don't do it on the SD card, you will be crying. There are several disk cloner software titles available. Free ones too. I use a free one. Usually cloning takes about 1-2 hours. Plus you will have a mirror of your original system as a backup. Don't forget to buy external enclosure (for cloning). Cheaper ones are $10 - $15. Doing that on a Dell XPS 18 that could be an iffy situation. I'd get the lay of the land before proceeding (opening it and looking at what I had to work with; you're gonna have to open it eventually anyway to do it). Reasons: *All in one *some models have parts not user replaceable (soldered etc) *some have custom caddies to support the drive being replaced (could be notebook HDD or regular HDD or SSD, best to know what you are replacing) Many on this forum are capable, but not knowing OPs skill level I don't want to give any advice without more definition of what he has to work with. Then we can guess if it's worth it. Thank you for alerting me on this point! As I don't know much about all these technical points, I will contact a professional if I change my SSD 😊

Hi, Greg, Any time I click on one of your posts, I know it's going to be fantastic. I just wonder what level of fantastic. And, as always, you set the already outrageously high bar even higher. You simply know how to write, produce, arrange, and perform some of the best music I've heard over my almost 78 years. Your music is an auditory art form of the highest quality. The electric 12-string offered hints of The Eagles, the vocal harmonies of Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac, and the smooth arrangement of some of Foreigner's songs. I know—an eclectic mix, but that's what came across to me. Perhaps give the bass a bit more volume? You always inspire and impress me - and did it again. Alan

Deej - we decided in the end it's a bit of a mixture of country/folk/bossa when I exchanged comments with Paul above, don't know whether that fits with you - thanks very much for taking a listen and for nice comments! Best, Carl

B.D., Great song. The piano is very effective. The melody and chord progression are very beautiful to me. The lyrics are a little tragic, to be honest. As always, great use of Synth V. The video is great too. Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Laurent, This is truly avant-garde fusion music. I think it's a wonderful mix of jazz fusion and avant-garde jazz. I like your French-style works, but this kind of work is also fun. The only thing I didn't quite understand was the association with knighthood. But I really enjoyed watching the video. And of course the music. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Rob, Two of my main reasons for using Reaper are: (a) the ability to create tracks through copy and paste; (b) control over the types of envelopes. A third reason would be that it is a program I feel comfortable with (although I barely scratch the surface of what it can do). Even though partial regeneration has always been possible in Realband, sometimes I want to replace some particular chord or bass note in a generation with a chord or note from somewhere else in the track. Using snap features and different types of envelopes (e.g. slow start and end, fast start, fast end, etc.) in Reaper makes it much easier for me to create seamless joins in Reaper than in Realband. I'm not sure if that's true of today's Realband, though, because my techniques began developing years ago when Reaper was more streamlined in this regard than Realband. Over the years, I have also developed some strategies using routing techniques envelope-control techniques in Reaper. Like many things in the music field, it often boils down to feeling comfortable with the software you use. I like all three products equally. Creating vocal harmony in Realband is still one of the great strengths of the product. Now that it supports VST3, I will be playing around with Realband's harmonies and Synth V as I attempt to find out what's possible. If you are curious, below is my latest musical creation. I forged the track by using Synth V (standalone) with a rendered backing from BIAB. When I was happy with the vocal line, I then rendered it to wav and sent it to Reaper for dressing up and mixing with the guitar tracks. I also used a MIDI chord track (exported from BIAB to Reaper) to play the MIDI guitar (a Kontakt instrument). My final two guitar tracks, one Realtrack and one rendered MIDI track, were assembled by a reasonable amount of cutting/copying and pasting to create the overall comp'd track. In this particular instance, I didn't use Realband. Had I wanted vocal harmony, though, Realband would have featured in the production chain. --Noel ★ my latest song: How Do I Love Thee? (vocals by Synth V’s vocaloid, Natalie)

rayc, I'm not sure what genre this song should be classified in. If I had to say, I'd say it's in the rayc genre. It's so original. Your vocals fit the song perfectly. The video is great as always. Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Shigeki, Lovely tune . . . really captures a Christmas sound . . . but very original and distinctive . . . When I hear songs like this, it makes me wish I could understand the language that it is sung in . . . so as to get the full effect. But just really pretty to hear. Well done!! Deej

BIAB has some SoCa styles, not sure how similar they are to your examples though. Some are more calypso / Caribbean style.

Alan, Seven or eight years ago was before my time on this board, I think . . . so didn’t hear the initial version. But no matter . . . this is so well done and mixed. Jazz is generally not my cup of tea, but it’s a pleasure to listen to this and appreciate the artistry it takes to put something like this together. Well, well done. Bravo! Deej

Noel, I love this tune . . . so, so sweet. You’ve done a great job with the AI vocal . . . but what really gets me is that melody accompanied by those beautiful lyrics (“twinkling like fireflies as though it’s us they celebrate” . . . brilliant!). Dang, this is really, really good! Wonderfully done! My humble regards to you, Deej

Laurent, Vic, Dave, Floyd, DC Ron, Bob, Routou, Dan, David, Alan, Peter, BD, Mario, Ezekiel, Janne, and Scott: Gosh, sorry all . . . I’ve been remiss in getting back to you all on the comments. Thanks to Ray for picking up my slack!! Appreciate the listens and all of the thoughtful comments. Some thoughts on them below: Vocals Mix: I had thought the vocals were right were they need to be in the mix . . . I still kind of think that. Obviously at the 4:30 mark or so, they take a turn as the music reaches a crescendo . . . but as Ray has noted, that vocal treatment there is a bit intended. If anything, as DC Ron points out, in retrospect, dampening the vocals on the outro a tad may have been warranted. Regardless, I’m not sure we’ll revisit it, but all worthy and appreciated comments nonetheless. Harmonies: Dan, yeah, it’s a fair comment regarding the synching of the harmonies. Most of that is intended . . . or rather just the way I often sing my BGVs . . . but they are probably a couple spots where it could have been tighter. Just me being lazy, LOL!! Thanks all! Deej

Janne, J&B, Dan, Scott, Routou, and Greg: Thanks so much for the listens and kind comments. It's much appreciated. Listening to this again, I'm thinking there's a bit more reverb on that vocal than is needed. Janne, I'll let Christian comment on the mix aspect of your comment . . . not sure it was intentional, but that's where we ended up. Deej
