Thanks for this post. I've been wanting a hotkey or other easy solution for playing a song from the beginning without having to use the space bar. "F4" is the solution that I "discovered" from the pdf in your post. Until now, when I'm creating or modifying a song, I set the preferences to press the space bar to blank out a chord. Then I have to use the mouse to go to the start and then click on the transport to play the song. At some point in time, usually when done editing or creating I change the preferences back to press the space bar to start the song. I've always thought there has to be an easier or more efficient way to do my thing, but now I know that there is. F4 starts the song at the first bar no matter what the space bar preference is set to. That makes it much easier and more convenient for me. Thanks for your post. Very much appreciated.

Hi Michael. The easiest way to spread the 6 notes over the 4 beats is to use microchords and arrange their timing as shown on the image below. Right-click on the chordsheet to access microchords. On the image below, I have used a C chord (your chord may well be different). It is also necessary to set each beat to "triplet". (Note: Background and Soloist Realtracks do not work with microchords.) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32567&filename=two quarter note triplets in 4-4.jpg) If you do not feel comfortable using microchords, the PG Music video below will help. Regards, --Noel Audio | My latest song using BIAB (2026) and Synth V’s ‘Ninezero’ vocaloid: Take Today And Make It Mine

Doing a Clean Install of the shipping version today (it's been years), I ran the installers for a number of old add-on packs, (I go back to 2016). Some of these ship with the current version; others need to be installed from our purchased downloads. All of my old Installers worked perfectly but… It occurs to me that all of these Installers all require Rosetta 2 to install onto my Studio M2 Ultra. While this will not be an issue till 2028, it will be then. Yes, we legacy users will be able to drag-n-drop from old Macs or external drives or whatever but new users will not be in the same boat. Need to set a calendar alert for two years from now to bring this up.

I am not using midi. Just real tracks. Take “I Wanna Hold Your Hand”. Beatles. The outro has a measure with four beats using quarter note triplets. Can that be done with the Real Tracks which are used in the arrangement?

Rob, this is INSANELY good! Super arrangement, GREAT harp playing and AMAZING vocals+scatting. The musicality of this is off the charts. Just SO playful and fun, and full of...FEELING. Happy feeling, too. Which is in SUCH short supply. Love it! Well, I would let that last note decay naturally a bit longer. But at least you know I listen all the way through, right? Ha!

Could you be more specific please? If you mean, can you write notes in the Melody or Soloist or other MIDI tracks that are quarter-note triplets, then Yes. In the Editable Notation Mode, there are some settings for Swing versus Straight feel that affect how the notation looks if you want to know more. Likewise printing views. If you mean Playable RealTracks, let us know. If you mean something like a 3 on 2 feel having to do with certain styles and key signatures, let us know. If you mean something else, please elaborate so we can help.

Very cool, Bob. Great imagery, a gentle hook, fantastic vocals. Especially love the choir-like harmony parts by Joliz. The backing track is SO perfect. It cradles the song very gently and sounds crisp and clear without being flashy. Just a great sound all the way around...

I think I'd be one of those f*****s if I don't give good review for this song  F-word used here as an instrument, usually used as a punctuation mark by young people, I can handle that but hopefully in smaller doses next time  You've managed to get the maximum amount of anger out of the vocalist. And together with the tight guitar band and great selection of BIAB instruments, this grows into the epic Praise Worship Uptempo song as the style describes. The dynamics is once again admirable, both in the arrangement and the vocal work. I sign your message, why is it more ok to bomb children, but not to say f***, expressing as loudly as possible the desperation of fighting against real problems that they want to sweep under the rag... Glad I joined YouTube more than 18 years ago, so I didn't have to prove my age I really enjoyed the suffering so mission complete Janne Thanks a lot for your kind and, as always, detailed feedback, Janne. I really appreciate it  And you're right, the goal was to express maximum anger with as few words as possible. By the way, I'm surprised that YouTube computes your age thus losing the opportunity to verify your ID

Gorgeous piece, Mario. Like floating in a gentling swelling ocean. Look out for the seagulls! All the instruments sound great. I especially enjoyed the strings and oboe although the bassoon is quite cool, too. But it all works perfectly and sounds great. You're amazing!

Super song, John! Like everything about it. The vocals and harmonies are superb. What are "Martin's instruments" you reference? Nice backing track, but if you discarded all the BiaB tracks I'm not sure what I'm hearing. I do like it a lot though.

A gritty, raw yet polished sound, and a story that gives Quentin Tarantino ideas for his next film. I love how Dave's guitar and your (really great) vocals interact. On my third listen now. Excellent stuff ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

Quite interesting video especially the part about Tuning and Timing. At least it explained a lot to me. Especially the sction about timing & tuning.(12:10 - 21:32 into the video) 1: Group vocals 2: Instruments tuning 3: Timing The Reason Why Older Records Sound BetterAnd the good thing: with BIAB, you often get 2: and 3: for free

Fun. I only listened to the timing and tuning section. Yes, that's valuable advice, clearly illustrated. On recordings where I get to have a say on my parts, I 'fix' only those things I really cannot live with, and the fix is much more likely to be done by patching in another complete take than by edits and plugins.

Hi Floyd, I read everything you wrote about how you came up with this song and also about how you transformed into a woman. Uh, only in terms of the vocals, of course! I think the song sounds really great; a good rhythm, a good melody and lyrics (naturally), and also that female voice. The funny thing was that while I heard her singing, I heard you singing too. And it was also funny that I read that Ray said almost the same thing. Oh, and Scott Olson (above) as well. This doesn't mean there is anything wrong with that female vocal. Not at all! It just means that I have heard so many of your songs, and know your lyrical structure a bit, which is why I heard you in it too. I immediately looked up Audimee on the internet. I didn't know it. It looks good/promising, although I did think their harmony examples sounded a bit artificial. I'm going to try it out soon. Thanks for the tip, so to speak! So, all in all, it is a very beautiful song, Floyd! Including that lady. Can we now expect that only female voices will be heard in your upcoming songs? Regards, Hans Thanks, Hans... We agree with Bob Dean on the Pat Benatar vibe. Power, passion and attitude that both you and she have are combined beautifully here. The BiaB session guys have good attitude also. Those drums pop and solo is excellent. I can just see the friend looking at Tammy with amazement. Why? She didn’t realize how lucky she was to have someone love her that well. 😊 It’s such a cool musical project for you and Deb and we can’t wait for the project’s completion. Way Cool and creative to the max! J&B Thanks ya'll. Much appreciated... Someone mentioned Pat Benatar. Yes, definitely a PB type song. Interesting about Audimee. I can tell it's you singing, the phrasing, the tonal quality, and the way you attack the notes, but so clearly a female voice. I'll have to try it sometime. Good song! Thanks, Scott.... Very cool tune Floyd. Boy that vocal is something else. Could recognize your singing style and the change is amazing technology. Super lyric and backtrack. Well done. Thanks, Scott.... Hi floyd. What a ride!!! I'm sitting here 5 minutes after the song is done and I can still hear the chorus in my head. I love, LOVE the development of these lyrics. Your music-writing, lyric-writing and arranging prowess stand strong and tall in this creation. Moreover, after the bridge, the emotional intensity of the final chorus soared. Kudos to you on such an amazing job. After the song finished, I read the back story. It was fascinating to find out how the song came about. I sincerely hope that your idea for a musical grows into something extraordinary. You certainly have the ability and the creativity to make it work. Prior to listening, I was not aware that you had used Audimee. As I journeyed along with the song, I was puzzled because I could hear your vocal inflexions and pronunciations. The performance was superb, and underlying it was a distinct floyd-jane style. Now that I know how you achieved this, I am impressed. Audimee and you did a wonderful job. For what it's worth, I am now sitting here around 20 minutes after listening, and your song is still in my head, and I'm still greatly admiring what you have done. --Noel Appreciate the fine comments, Noel....
