OP DennisD Journeyman Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 317 BC Interior	Currently I am using Microsoft outlook 2007 on my laptop and it served me well when I was actively in the work force. Now that I am retired I am looking for free or nominally cost software to send and receive emails. This would be installed on my desktop. Are there any suggestions by users out there.

Since T-Bird is free - open source (donations appreciated) I decided to give it a try. As expected, it took a bit of adjustment to get used to the different interface, but it was just a matter of finding the features and fine-tuning them to my desires.

Both are excellent products.

It also includes a calendar add-in that will sync with Gmail calendar, and it has it's own address book, so it's pretty full featured. And it's free. But it doesn't look like Outlook, so there may be a small learning curve.

The Bob Doyle Media YouTube channel is known for demonstrating how you can creatively incorporate AI into your projects - from your song projects to avatar building to face swapping, and more!

His latest video, Convert MIDI Chords into AI Vocal Harmonies with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box, he explains in detail how you can use the Melodist feature in Band-in-a-Box with ACE Studio. Follow along as he goes from "nothing" to "something" with his Band-in-a-Box MIDI Melodist track, using ACE Studio to turn it into a vocal track (or tracks, you'll see) by adding lyrics for those notes that will trigger some amazing AI vocals!
