Definitely a standard to Frank. A smooth song with the right amount of swagger. Sung well, bu I don't think you need an AI enhancement to do this song justice. You own voice is superb and fits the style.

I like the way you panned the echo vocal "so far away." Pleasant tune. A definite 80s vibe without any cheesy synths. Your friend sings this well.

+++ HERE +++ is an Associated Press article that details how artificial intelligence was used to create vocals for a new Randy Travis song. Nice song and vocals. The idea of using AI for Randy's voice didn't come from his team, but from Warner Music Nashville Co-President Cris Lacy. My guess is that Warner Music thought the best way to introduce AI vocals was with a "feel good" story, and Randy was happy to oblige. In fact, that's exactly what they say in a press release: "The creation of 'Where That Came From' is an example of how the music industry can rewrite the rules of technology use within the creative community and harness the power of AI in a positive, fair, and honest way. From a technological perspective, the AI vocals something more akin to RVC, in that they need a "real" vocalist to sing the song. James Dupré was that vocalist. He was someone who had toured with Randy after his stroke, performing as Randy's voice. So they'd obviously had a good working relationship. The recording used for Randy's song was one that James had done decade earlier, but was never released. I initially thought this was cool since everyone involved was fully informed, but that's not the full story. Rolling Stone wrote that James "was just as surprised as everyone when he heard Randy Travis’s AI-assisted vocal", noting that "Dupré was stunned when he realized that it was actually his voice he was hearing, at least in part." James was paid for the rights to use his performance. But Rolling Stone writes that the Warner rep "declined to specify whether it was a one-time work-for-hire payment or if Dupré will participate in royalties." And instead of giving James "sung by" credit, Warner created a new “vocal bed” tag that was coincidentally ready be rolled out just in time for the song. I've got to wonder: Warner got a hold of an AI team in London, supplied them with vocal stems to 54 of his songs, got together musicians to create the backing for the song, and paid producers to spent months to work on the track. How could they have forgotten to contact James about using his vocals? My gut feeling is that Warner wouldn't spend all that money on the song if there was the slightest chance that James wouldn't allow them to use his vocals. I'd bet that Warner's lawyers had already concluded James' track had been "work for hire", and conveniently could be used however Warner wanted. This included use as the basis of an AI vocal - something that didn't even exist when it was recorded. I would hope that James a bit of additional compensation, because who wants to have the a feel good story about the ethical use of AI ruined by the "vocal bed" singer? At the same time, I doubt that they wanted to set a precedent of "vocal bed" tracks being eligible for royalties. If they were, they wouldn't have evaded the question when asked. While some news articles were quick to point out that the basis of the song was James' performance, it was notably absent elsewhere. James isn't even mentioned on the YouTube video credits, and reading articles like the one in The Los Angeles Times, you'd never know any vocalist other than Randy was involved in the creation of the song. What's problematic is that James' performance of the song wasn't good enough to release, but it was good enough to use as the "vocal bed" that was overlaid with Randy Travis' voice. Not really surprising, though. All in all, a bit less of a "feel good" story for me.

David, loved the flashback to the good old days that this song gave me; the 80's were almost as good as the 60's. Loved that groove and those guitars! Super vocal but I don't know what the lyrics were all about but since I was told not to ask I won't. You have a fantastic imagination.

That part with Rick Beato in the YouTube posted on this thread where he was reciting the lyrics to Across the Universe gave me chills. SO good, and so relevant. Yes, that is what great lyrics sound like. Why not try and use that as an example? It's up to you. You can write whatever you want. I have stated this many times but in terms of commercial music I have read that only a very small handful of aspiring songwriters (about 75 or something in that range) got cuts on Nashville albums each year in the last decade or so and the average take-home pay from songwriter royalties was $90 a year. About 250,000 were trying each year in Nashville alone. Maybe 5 million or so nationwide. Maybe 25 million, who knows. Those aren't great odds. There is no such thing as commercial songwriting anymore and there hasn't been for a long time. It has nothing to do with AI. Producers write all of the music if not the artist and there's usually seven or eight people and it's always the same seven or eight people. On the bright side, for people who want to create their own music, and that's really all there is for Independent artists, the amount of technology to produce your own music is absolutely phenomenal. Mind boggling. Just one example is the Abbey Road collection of plugins. Even the Abbey Road engineers admit that they can't tell the difference between using the Abbey Road plugins and being in Abbey Road. I think that's pretty extraordinary. I think it's pretty extraordinary that Andrew Scheps mixes and masters all of his stuff inside the box with the very same plugins that all of us have access to. Music today is really what you want to create. You can literally do whatever you want and put it out there and if people like it they'll listen to it. This is a great time in history just to focus on producing the greatest music that you possibly can and stop worrying about all of the negative stuff. It will all take care of itself. Just focus on your tunes, that's what I say. 👍👍👍 J&B

Really nicely done. The vocal sounds unreal, not in a bad way, just in a perfect way. One of the all time most beautiful chord progressions, with an interesting history of lawsuits. So it goes... Thanks Ron, glad you like it. You have no idea how many (slightly) detuned parts I've already added to reduce the perfection  BTW, I'm not afraid of being sued. Both the YouTube and Spotify release have all the original authors on them, so they'll get all the money if my version ever makes any money, which I doubt.

If you have Reaper you can use the Plugin or open the frozen SGU directly in Reaper to give the vocal sections that you can then easily edit: ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=27958&filename=Reaper-Biab-Multi-Vocals.gif)

• RIGHT CLICK ON UTILITY 1 TRACK AND CHOOSE, “CHOUSE REAL DRUMS”. THE DROPDOWN WILL SHOW THE HILIGHTED SELECTION WHICH WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY THE MAIN “DRUM REAL TRACK” ALREADY PART OF THE STLYE OR SUBSEQUENT SELECTION. HIT “OK”. SO NOW LET IT RESIDE AS YOUR MAIN DRUM TRACK FOR YOUR PROJECT. • NOW GOTO YOUR MAIN DRUM TRACK BEING NOW THE SAME REALTRAK YOU WERE USING BEFORE YOU POPULATED THE UTILITY’S TRACK WITH IT’S DUPLICATE. NOW RIGHT CLICK ON THE DEFAULT DRUM TRACK WHICH SHOULD BE “DRUMS 1” AND THE POP UP MENU SHOULD HAVE IN IT ABOUT MID WAYS DOWN A SELECTION CALLED “FORCE DRUMS TRACK TO MIDI”. THE FOLLOWING IS VERY IMPORTANT…THE “DRUMS 1” TRACK WILL NOT TURN TO THE YELLOW MIDI TRACK COLOR UNTIL YOU PRESS “GENERATE AND PLAY” THEN IT WILL TURN YELLOW AND THAT CONFIRMS THAT THE TRACK IS NOW “MIDI”. • THEN GOTO THE FIRST BAR OF SONG AND RIGHT CLICK. GOTO BAR SETTINGS IN POP UP AND TRACE DOWN TO “DRUMS 1”. THEN ON IT’S POP UP, CHOOSE “MUTE” • NOW THE “DRUMS 1” TRACK IS NOW YOUR “COUNT IN”! NOTE: YOU CAN ADJUST THE VOLUME ON THE DRUM 1, COUNT IN TRACK WITH THE LEVEL FADER. ALSO, COUPLED WITH THE COUNT IN VOLUME FOR THE NEW UTILITY TRACK YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET A SUITABLE COUNT IN VOLUME WITH SOME CONTROL! If you follow these steps without skipping, this is a solution! I worked hard over the years to come up with this. Pgmusic should write code for a dedicated Count-In Track!

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."
