I think there are more f-bombs in this four-minute songs than in The Wolf of Wall Street  . Outstanding lyrics, melody, and production. that's all that needs to be said. Now I have to watch "The Wolf of Wall Street" and keep count... Thank you for your kind feedback, Scott. Mucho appreciated ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

Have to admit, that is a new one for me. Leave it to Charlie to read the manual  ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32537&filename=Screenshot 2026-04-17 085158.jpg) But you should be embarrased if you need a photo of a Keyboard with an arrow showing you where the F10 button is.

Nicely done, Paul! That's a rockin' arrangement and your vocals are GREAT. The last section with the handclaps and harmonies is a nice way to wrap it up. Great sounding RealTrack, too.

I wrote this song in 1992. It never left my bedroom really. Now I've put it through BIAB and I really love this one. It's upbeat and rock n roll and carrys a positive message of hope. The song is based on Isaiah 55 Style is _MARSHAL.STY - honky tonk featuring an acoustic piano. Also included are two electric guitars, acoustic guitar, pop electric bass, and Nashville RealDrums Mix of my own Takamine Sante Fe + 12 String Acoustics SoundCloud - Click Here

Super tune, B.D.! Love the arrangement and the soft-to-hard transitions. Instrument choices are very cool and work together perfectly. Tremendously enjoyable mix, very open and clean, even in the louder sections. I have a limited tolerance for T-Pain style vocal tuning, but you've made the overall vocal effect quite endearing. Maybe there's hope for me. I'll second Bob's observation about your mastery of the pop/rock ballad in this modern-yet-timeless style. Bravo!

To cool for school! Thanks for the question, Gerry-the-not-so-clueless-anymore. Thanks for the answer Charlie. Like Bluegrass-Picker, my first BiaB came on a single 3 1/2" floppy as part of some other purchase back in the Stone Age or Iron Age, I can't remember which. This tip is supremely useful. Again, thanks to all involved!

Mario, thanks. True, I know these. The issue is: A) You need to have proper folder opened to drag MIDI to - where if done right, Save function will remember correct folder. B) Save function will give you a choice of naming file before it is saved (so you don't have to rename it later). I know, minor stuff, but will make life a grain easier. I agree and support your suggestions.

Now that is extra cool! I've been using BIAB since they came out on floppys and I never knew that! I wish I had. Thanks Gerry for asking and thanks Charlie for your response. I'm gonna remember that tip. BluegrassPicker

To pinpoint issue, I've used both (individually). In different ways, both were affecting DAW performance. Once I pushed them to E-Cores, all issues disappeared. Gone. Likely something changed in windows.. of how it shares critical resources with these browsers. Again, only a guess.

Based on some stuff I read here (and elsewhere) I purchased Izotope's / NI's Music Production Suite 8.5 this last weekend. While searching for tips and tutorials I found this thread. Did I throw my money away? Is there actually a chance they could shut everything down? If they did shut it down would we have any recourse? Reread my previous post. Nothing has changed.

Of course. I agree with your tip about the usefulness of Process Lasso. Good luck. What surprised me was that you mentioned Edge (the default) with Chrome.

Matt, thanks, but I am pretty confident it relates to Windows + (even idle) Chrome / Edge marriage. Process Lasso is not a magic bullet, but a very powerful program to dedicate / isolate resources where needed.

If you had deactivated any devices, such as the HD audio driver for a display monitor, check if the Windows update reactivated it. That one gets me every so often.

Drag works with method mentioned by Brian. There is another way you can try. From the mixer. Grab the header of Midi track and drag it directly to DAW. However... it was asked for some time to be able to save individual tracks for midi. I proposed to do it similar as you would with standard RT/RD tracks (Right clicking on track>save track as WAV option): Same for Midi tracks: Right click on track >Name IT>Select folder>Save. Unfortunately, still no way that I know of to save individual MIDI track(s) for project. Misha, I like your idea about saving MIDI tracks. I have found out a couple of things that may interest you: 1-I can not grab the MIDI track header and drag it into my Fender One Pro 8 DAW 2-I can grab the MIDI track header and drag it either onto my desktop or in a folder. You should rename it immediately after dragging it. Then I can drag the MIDI file(s) into my DAW. 3-If I have two BiaBs' open I can grab the MIDI header from one BiaB and copy it directly into the second BiaB. This works great if one is working with a blank slate on the second BiaB so they can create a new style. You probably already knew these but I thought I should post this just in case.

Disclaimer* - use at your own risk. This is just "sharing knowledge" post. I can't complain about the power of my PC (i7-12700H 32ram, gen4 NVME), but some kind of recent update, either Windows, drivers, or browser started introducing artefacts / stopped audio engine issues with relatively average weight DAW project. Traditionally, (in good ole days) the rule of thumb was to turn off BT adapter, Wifi, start system lean, etc. I really didn't want to go that rabbit hole... again, so I've decided to take a different approach - a trick that I remembered from few years ago. Not sure if it relates to other (than Intel) CPUs, but I would guess it's somewhat similar across the board. Here goes. Intel cores are divided between Performance cores and Efficiency cores. By default, many software packages, especially ones that have multiple processes running are using multiple cores - a mix of Efficiency and Performance cores. Chrome is a solid example of this. In Task Manager you can assign affinity (which cores to be used for specific software) and priority (I/O) for each process... However, this is a temporary solution as some software might open other process instances randomly that will not be affected by those settings. Another thing, your settings will reset on restart (why? ask Microsoft) There is a free trusted program called Process Lasso which lets you permanently assign a program with all of it's processes to particular cores of CPU, and set permanent I/O priority. What I did was assigned BIAB and DAW to Performance cores only with high I/O priority, and non essential things like Chrome to Efficiency cores only. I don't see any performance changes in Chrome and my DAW is flying on very low buffers. P.S. I strongly suspect the pops I was getting and stop audio engine are related to the last Win(11) update. I was not experiencing anything like that in the past 2 years. In any case, Process Lasso solved it for me and regardless of future updates, now I can control apps not to take over / interfere with resources which are needed for audio recording. I hope this helps some poor soul
