Van Gogh painted two version of this infamous "Bedroom in Arles". Thanks for a recent technology called "X-ray fluorescence", the original colors of the paintings can be seen for the first time.

This is amazing! "He described it in a letter to his brother Theo: "I have painted the walls pale violet. The ground with checked material. The wooden bed and the chairs, yellow like fresh butter; the sheet and the pillows, lemon light green. The bedspread, scarlet coloured. The window, green. The washbasin, orangey; the tank, blue. The doors, lilac. And, that is all." "Casadio said Van Gogh had a room ready for Gauguin and he had worked for weeks to decorate the walls with art. "In the myriad letters he wrote to his brother Theo and friends, he said the color has to do the job here," she said. "When he was finished he slept for two days." And now there is an Air BnB where you can stay in his room! ( I'll post about it!) I'm in, he's a favorite of mine! Great post, thanks!

The GUI has been redesigned with a great new look and many time-saving enhancements! The Toolbars and Song Title Area have been redone, and the chord sheet now has a "Real" looking handwritten font for chords. We've added UserTracks. Now you can make your own RealTracks to add to your song.

I think this is kind of cool tool, it gives a new look to music and is a way to customize your work a little. Saves time.

I purchased this software several years ago and found it interesting. The RealTracks sounded clean and followed my chord and time changes as good as could be as expected for a computer program. Sadly, my computer was not powerful enough to run the program without it jamming/freezing/lagging. I think with a proper computer system, a lot of time, and some creativity you could produce a pretty professional backing track for gigging out or creating your own studio tracks without the help of other musicians.

I can't recommend "You've Cott Mail" enough.
