AI is an amazing tool to bring good lyrics to a public space! Great job with the use of this technology.
I like how you lift the melody at the end of the chorus.
Dewey Thanks, Dewey ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Yeah, this AI stuff is great for creating videos for my songs, saves a lot of time and money.

Great production! Is AI involved? The singer looks a little 'artificial', but pretty  Yes, the video (minus the merging of the individual sequences) is mostly AI-generated. The music comes from BIAB and Synthesizer V (which also claims to be an AI tool, but that's mostly marketing BS).

Hi Brain,
Very good song. Intriguing singer, nice story and minimalistic, but effective.
Like it a lot.
I think I need to work with AI as well. You're so good with it!

Your description had me thinking about "Silly Love Songs" by McCartney. And you have certainly mastered today's AI tools.
I'm glad these bot animations still don't look fully human as it was easy to imagine circuit boards behind the face.
When they beome indistinguishable from real people is when I think I'll be disorientated.
A high energy song with a touch of a punk groove.
Well done.

Not my genre, BD but this is really well put together.
The lyrics fit perfect and it's catchy, especially the chorus.
I can just see people jumping up and down at the local watering hole.
Well did.

This is weird! Sorry, but this is not one of my songs and I wouldn't even know how to use AI.
I began in 1970 with a 7 piece dance band. I had other bands, but my most successful one was "The four Windows", a 4 piece guitar band. Many concerts, TV shows, Record contract with EMI and a guitar hit in 1982 in Europe with my "Lonely Seagull".

Great song. Great sound and mix. Video is great, with just a touch of spookiness.
Well done,

Cool punchy backing.
The video is VERY distracting to me...I noticed the A.I. character with mouth/tongue movements that are often indicators of someone who's grown out of a lisp....I kept looking for more signs as it went along. I had to switch back to this page and just listen.
The algorithm have really upped the incidental noises, breath etc.
Some melodic phrases seemed very similar but that is the real world with so few notes being manipulated by so many people.
Good rush of energy and a big beat. Thank you Ray for listening and giving me feedback, which I always appreciate. To be honest, I also think the video is kind of distracting, but it also makes me smile with all its shortcomings, which is why I left it as it is. As for the breath sounds, these are NOT algorithmic (Synth V sometimes produces exhalation sounds, which I almost always remove as they sound bad). The breathing sounds you hear are all explicitly programmed by me. When the vocals are roughly finished, I sing along and make notes of when I need to breathe and how hard (or long) I need to breathe, etc. and add the breath sounds by hand. Synth V is actually more a MIDI synthesizer that happens to produce human voices, and not like those online AI tools that you can tell what to do without(!) knowing how to do it.

B.D...I always love your stuff...you have if not mastered at least captured the new art of making music and music videos with the new tech of the day...the song is, as usual, produced so very well...the song itself has a really nice rock drive and the vocals fit right into the pocket so nicely...really superb effort on your part! Thanks for listening an your nice feedback. Much appreciated

Again, this is not from me and I have no clue how this got into my account. I also don't know how to remove it. The setup and support in this forum is mostly frustrating! I'm trying to look up all my postings and use "My Posts" in search, but they show up with all the responses, which makes no sense at all. Sorry for venting my frustration here.

BD,
Very cool tune . . . you've really mastered the vocaloid genre, with consistently crisp and well-produced tunes. Agree this video is a bit more choppy than the "Linger" one I just commented on the other day. But the sound is killer! Well done!

It's really impressive what these new AI progams can do - I checked out Hedra and other new ones and I'm sure they're here to stay, or until something even better comes along. Re your video, I could do the same with a Daz Studio animation and also have the singer change expressions to go along with the lyrics, but besides not having the disc space on either LT or PC I'll never get around to doing anything like it as it would just way, way too long. I now think my saying it would take at least a month was an underestimate! Yep, it's all about the time you need. And every day wasted on the visuals is a day lost for making music.

Love songs are my favorite. Strong production that builds with the vocal and lyrics. Synth sounds awesome. I like the Lennon-esque twist at the end with the "maybe I'm wrong..." Thanks Scott for listening and your nice comment. I'm no Beatles and/or Lennon expert, but I remember a documentary where Paul mentioned that John often liked to add something pessimistic after Paul's optimistic lyrics. Yep, your comparison makes sense.

That is a powerful vocal by Natalie with lots of dynamics and human subtleties. And Solaria does her part in a very professional manner also. Keep those gals on retainer.  Good rock drive presented in an excellent mix with a strong group of BiaB session folks. That is a very cool video - the new vid software really does create something more human like in capturing the phrasing. It will be interesting to see see the progression of this tech. Enjoyed it! J&B Thanks J&B for listening and your detailed feedback. As always, MUCHO appreciated

Hey B.D.,
Man I have to say your stuff is super fun.
I really like the video, and as I said it's just a whole lot of fun.
The music is good too. You have a really excellent way with pop. It's pure pop, mind you, but somebody's got to do it right!
🙂 Thank you, David. You know, I solely exist to bring some fun into your life And even if pop composers are at the bottom of the food chain, someone has to do the job.

This use by so many producers of this AI stuff is freaking me out!
I will probably never go there but that doesn't mean it doesn't have it's place in music production!
You are one of the best I've heard making these songs and this production is very well done!
IMO the best listening experience is a song between 3&4 minutes! You got a lot accomplished in this shorter song!
Very good work!
Thanks, TB Thanks Torrey for your nice comment. I think I already wrote this somewhere, but there's not much AI in the song itself, it's just BIAB, me (in most songs, not here) and Synthesizer V for the vocals. And contrary to what their marketing people claim, there's not much AI in Synthesizer V. The video is (almost) 100% AI, but in the end it's all about the music.

I guess I must have misunderstood the "Originally posted by Flwolf (me). Sorry for the mistake, I'm almost new here. I just didn't want to get praise for something that I didn't create.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
