Hello, forum friends A remixed version of the Beatles’“Revolver” was recently released. According to the music article, each instrument, voice, etc. are separated from the previous recordings using AI into independent tracks and remixed. The same is possible with Steinberg's SpectraLayers now. (but not perfect) This time, I used the SpectraLayers to extract only vocals from past recording and added a new accompaniment. It's basically an early 60's 12/8 feel rock-a-ballad. But I added a little modern touch. Any comments encouraged. Always welcome. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi Title: ガーディアンを抱きしめて(Translation: I hug my guardian) Vocal: Natsuki, my friend Link: https://soundcloud.com/animarorecords/i-hug-my-guardian-2022Style is _GAIA.STY Giga Vintage Pop RealTracks in song: 2938:Bass, Fretless Electric Slow12-8Rene Sw 065 RealTracks in style: ~2505:Piano, Electric, HeldChords 085 RealTracks in style: 3878:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm VintagePopSlow68Chop Sw 070 RealTracks in style: ~530:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Hank Sw 085 RealTracks in song: 2375:Sax, Alto, Soloist JazzBalladPhil Sw 085 RealDrums in Style: BluesRock128^3-a:SideStick, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride Additional 4 part strings playd with EastWest Symphonic Orchestra Scored by me Summary of lyrics: You are my very important person You always protect me And gently embrace me with your loving arms What can I do for you You always hide wounds and sorrows deep in your heart You always pose as a strong man, You never show me your painful face But just being protected makes me sad and painful You don't have to show only good things Please behave like a baby sometimes I want to give you a lot of affection I don't mind your sighing when you're having a hard time When you're tired Please put your head on my shoulders And sleep by my side I want to make myself feel at ease And also want to make you feel at ease I want to hug you softly from me I love you even your weakness

Great song and you've really captured the vibe rock ballad genre. Excellent write, arrangement, performance and production.

I really like this! The vocal is great, and the arrangement fits perfectly! The only complaint I've got is the 5th bar of the sax solo, which sounds really disconnected from the first part. Other than that... smooth and excellent!

Good lord, Shigeki. You are so good at this stuff. Again your string arrangement is so so good. I often hear strings in songs and ask why bother, but yours are so compelling. You should put out an all-strings album.
Ok. That was my reaction to my first listen. The second started the same. (Are you a fan of Vivaldi, The Red Priest?) Natsuki sounds so good, and I listened twice without even reading the English translation. She has a great expressive voice. I see you changed the bass and added the sax to the GAIA.STY. Excellent choices.

This is a pretty good arrangement and sounds really good. I haven't found the original, so I can't judge if it's more modern or not, but I like it. Good job!

Very nice indeed, I enjoyed this a lot.
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2024 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

I heard this like an outtake Olivia Newton-John might have sung from Grease. Loved the string intro and throughout the piece. Lyrics were very, very good. Terrific work as usual.

Shigeki Adachi,
Beautiful. You captured that 60's Pop sound well. Natsuki did a good job on vocals. Very nice strings. Excellent mix.
Much enjoyed the listen.

Nice melancholy pop melody in the 60's style. I really like the lyrics, romantic and touching. The vocalist has nice voice full of emotion. Excellent work with the strings, so smooth and nice transitions. My only suggestion is that the sax could be introduced and mixed little softer. SpectraLayers seems like an interesting product...around 2:33 I hear some artifact in the vocal track, is that already in the original recording or due the SpectraLayers processing?

Hi Shigeki ...
Your music is always such a pleasure to listen to. Everything you post is alwa such a great production.
Di (my wife) and I love the music of the 60s and this is very representative of the era. Natsuki sounds wonderful! You surround yourself with excellent musicians and vocalists.
I initially thought of Cannie Cato's song "You Belong To Me" from the early 60s.
Excellent!

David,
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I am really glad you like this tune, Natsuki's vocal and my arrangement.
I also think that the sax solo you pointed out is unnatural. I reworked the solo generation many times, but I was not satisfied with the result. I am very sorry that I had no choice but to compromise.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.

Yes, I like Vivaldi. I love classical music in general, but I especially love baroque music. I listen to Bach, etc. on a daily basis.
You really are an excellent bassist, because you can immediately notice the changes of Bass in GAIA.STY.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.

Some artifact you hear in the vocal track around 2:33, is due to the SpectraLayers processing? Unfortunately SpectraLayers isn't perfect yet.

Alan,
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I am really glad you like this tune and Natsuki's vocal.
I had heard Paul Anka's version of "You Belong To Me" long time ago. As you pointed out, the opening melody is very similar. I try to be as careful as possible, but it's true that sometimes it just happens to sound like a famous song in my process of song writing.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.

What an endearing lyric and Natsuki has a lovely voice.
It does, indeed, have a 1960’s sound like something that would be on a movie soundtrack.
The sax solo is great, as well as the lovely strings and the fine band you’ve assembled.
SpectraLayers sounds like a great tool to have.
Enjoyed it!

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."
