Here's our latest song. It involved 27 tracks in Cubase (of which most of them were layered vocal tracks). We created the basic arrangement in RMCA real-time MIDI chord arranger Pro, so what you're hearing is actually pure MIDI. But the GM Soundfont Rob has been working on for years did it's magic. We used BIAB to analyze the chords and the Melodist function helped us big-time to create every individual vocal line.
Hope you like it, as always comments are welcome!

To get back to you
A different world, where time has gone Am I older then, am I holding on And where are you Are you real…..
I can almost hear you breathe I can almost feel you near I will always call your name But is it still the same Can you even understand Just how lonely it is Can you see it now Knowing all there is Is it real….
Are you older now Will it always be this way Where’m I now, am I dreaming Where’s my peace, what’s my fate Is hope flowing out of me…
I’ve lost a hundred dreams I’ve cried a thousand tears I’d walk a million miles To get back to you some day
When my faith has gone When my eyes can’t see Call my name Call my name…..
I can almost hear you breathe I can almost feel you near I will always call your name But is it still the same I’ve lost a hundred dreams I’ve cried a thousand tears I’d walk a million miles To get back to you

Rob and Anne-Marie what a wonderful piece of music. Vocals were just superb and the layering what a cool effect it gives the song. Lovely lyrics and as always a super vocal. Well done... Production was a work of art...
RnAM, This is a fine production and the layered vocals are a real treat to the ears. An ambitious arrangement that really works. Great mix and a big sound. Very much enjoyed. Tom
Very intriguing chord progression and the melody, makes you listen to it several times to really get used to what is going on. Progressive pop I would say Fantastic vocals!

Hello, Rob & Anne-Marie
Cool song. excellent vocals. As ROG said, a super track with a very BIG sound and wonderful stereo wash. Fabulous stacked vocals. Very unique and nice chord progression. Crescendo drums are also wonderful. Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.

Oh my, such a stunning and beautiful piece. You guys work so hard getting each detail right but the end result seems to the ear to be the result of effortless talent.
It is hard to imagine and a testament to BIAB and your natural abilities to how close in quality your works match up to big, expensive productions of some of the world's most talented music coming from major studios by major artists.
At different times I feel a vibe in this song of The Cars, 10cc and vocally a similarity to Air Supply.

Fixed: Dragging a file into the tracks window didn't always result in the effects slot for the track being setup properly for the file type dragged in.

Fixed: Accidental element that specified whether a note was displayed as sharp/flat wasn't eing saved to XML, even though the correct pitch of the note itself was saved.
