Donny, I agree with Ray.

This is an excellent song. Great vocal, lyrics and backing tracks. Get those esses under control and you will have a winner.

I don't believe this is the case - as far as I can tell there were no changes in the MusicXML 3.1 and 4.0 spec regarding key or time signature. These issues are separate, and we are working on them.

From reading that page, it seems like the MusicXML 4.0 spec is mostly about adding new features rather than removing old ones. There are a few deprecated elements from the 3.0 spec, but as far as I can tell we don't use those. Any MusicXML file that doesn't use the new features is still considered v4.0 compliant, provided it also doesn't use the deprecated elements.

The extra part at the end is basically the difference between how BB and MusicXML structure a song, in that BB operates as "choruses" with the 2-bar ending happening outside of that, where MusicXML simply writes a bar at a time. When exporting a MusicXML file from BB, there is no way of flagging a particular bar as the "ending", so when that file is imported into BB it imports everything as the "chorus" - then, if you have automatic 2 bar endings enabled, BB adds that after the imported data. Since we can't rewrite the MusicXML spec, the only workaround I can think of here is if we added a "song length" field when importing a MusicXML file, similar to the bar offset field. I'll add that as a feature request, but for now this problem is solved by manually changing the song length after importing an XML.

As Ron said, this a great slow dance song. Old vocal track? Vocal is excellent. I thought the balance between the vocal and instruments in the beginning before the guitar comes in was out of balance with the vocal too up front. Good write.

And when you sing the vivid imagery in the story, I can truly feel the mountains, high tides and "foggy outdoor slumber". "I sank to my knees/I can't go back" wow. You certainly have a very unique style which is always pleasure to listen to. Janne
Janne, thanks and I'm glad you enjoyed the imagery .

Thanks, Dewey. I must unhumbly admit that that is my favorite line too.

There's this album called Friends that comes from a movie soundtrack by the same name and it's actually one of my favorites before he became too commercial. It's got that same gentle, epic but poetic tinge to it. Nice!!
David, that is high praise. Thanks. I have some crate of my vinyl, but I don't have much time to listen to them. Maybe when I retire. For now, it's just Spotify and YouTube.

Re: Playing with Ketron SD1000 and ASIO - midi/audio not synching Simon - PG Music Yesterday at 10:48 PM Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Hi Museeker! Take a look at your Driver Latency setting - this is under Options > MIDI/Audio Driver Setup. Try increasing the number there by 10, then click OK and play your song again - repeat as necessary until it's in sync. If BB prompts you with a suggested latency value, click No. Let us know if that helps!

Nowadays I dunno which is more tiresome...yearly BIAB updates that never quite get finished or the incessant droning about Reaper and C++ and old guard and on and on and on. If I were PGM I'd have probably closed this forum, cleared the decks and required everyone interested to sign up again with new guidelines for conversations! I guess that's why I don't have a forum! laugh FWIW, I think the BIAB White Paper idea is a good one and the contributors have done something positive with it.
