Thanks. The great feature of this group is, that you find musical details normally listeners won't. Like this rhythm guitar sliding I picked for this one. It encourages to work further arrangements. Useful suggestions too.

Thats funny, because I don't see anywhere where I asked any question at all. I simply posted that there is a message popping up when you run band in a box - that is a statement, not a question - there was nothing to be answered. You aren't the only one. Then maybe learn how to be selective when you are quoting others and responding to posts. I posted a statement, and wasn't replying to anyone, it was a standalone post - it didn't need your comment and it wasn't necessary.

Yes that's basically my question. Will my 2026 version be updated to work with the next Mac OS, or will I need to purchase another version? There's a new version every year and you will have the opportunity to upgrade. It is extremely unlikely that 2026 will be updated for a macOS that will not be released till after BIAB 2027 ships. I don't work for PG Music but they haven't done that yet.

There is the message popping up now when you start BIAB for the first time - Just did a fresh install of 2023 and updated it up to 2026 and this popped up: Please scroll up and read my earlier posts on the subject. I did read the earlier posts, this was not directed at you. Just simply that macOS is now notifying users that the program will stop working in the future. So PG Music may start seeing more inquiries and posts about when will the software be upgraded to Apple Silicon native binaries. Really? You don't say. I did answer the question in an earlier post.

John, Here is my take on this. If PGM continues going forward with modernizing program, as it did this year with UI, the whole multiriff / partial regeneration concept is a solid candidate to tackle for 2027. I believe the naughty "selection" behaviour you are describing belongs with another very important group begging to be addressed: navigation/transport, which includes playhead marker, timeline, zoom level consistency, looping and a few others.

What DrDan said. What I am proposing is combining both tools into one and fixing issues, such as repeated segments, unnatural shifts, etc. and integrating it to new UI as non-modal, dockable (or floating) panel. Partial regen was a groundbreaking feature, but it needs more work. --- [quote=Rustyspoon#] Is there some other way to do "Partial Generation" that works better or is more feature rich? John, yes. Dan mentioned it. Here is a video: Thanks for the video; that was helpful.

JJJ, did you really not know about Cntrl F8?  There has been a lot of commentary about this feature, but maybe not in the main forum. It does suffer from one limitation - it does not work on RT's which are 1/2 time or 2x time. Rusty has been pushing that with PGM. No, Dan, as I might have mentioned before, I avoid most BIAB features because I have fallen down so many dead end rabbitholes with this product that I just don't have the time to waste or remaining hair to pull out for those things. Once the multiriff feature became available (and proved itself to be a worthwhile rabbithole) I mostly decided I was set with BIAB! I choose my RTs, freeze them and then use multiriff to modify the bars that I don't like. Then I export dry and centered and GTFO ASAP to my DAW! I viewed Misha's video and quickly realized why I never even stumbled upon this feature...I have NEVER used the Audio Edit window. But, I decided to give it a try and was immediately annoyed by the interface! I clicked and dragged to select a portion of the timeline and then decided to adjust it a little larger but nope, you have to do it again. Can't just adjust the start/stop markers you've already set, at least I couldn't figure out how. But I can see how this gives greater control over regenerating sections beyond just bars so I guess I see the value. I'll try this more fully on my next song where I need regen.

These instructions are based on Snipping Tool in Windows 11. 1) Open the BIAB Notation Window. 2) Start the Snipping Tool (so that it sits over the top of the BIAB notation.) 3) Select "Video" (#1) and then select "New" (#2). ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32634&filename=snipping tool - record video 1.jpg) 4) A small dialogue window will open at the centre-top of the screen. 5) Select "Window" (#3). ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32635&filename=snipping tool - record video 2.jpg) 6) Click anywhere in the main window.

A countdown will appear. 9) Start BIAB playing. It will be recorded. 10) Once you have recorded what you want, stop the recording. The option will then appear to open the recording Clipchamp for editing. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32637&filename=snipping tool - record video 4.jpg) 11) Screen recordings are automatically saved in the "Videos/Screen Recordings" folder. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32639&filename=snipping tool - record video 5.jpg) Video file... mp4 video created with Snipping Tool (Windows 11) Regards, --Noel

Jeff, Yesterday, I tried using Microsoft Clipchamp that comes free with Windows 11 to try and record a video of the screen while BIAB was playing. I could not get it to work. The program worked fine for a number of different non-BIAB windows. (This is probably due to me, though, because I had not used the program until yesterday.) Next, I tried recording a video with the snipping tool in Windows 11. This worked fine and captured both the video and the system audio. For Funkifized's information, this is what I did (using Windows 11). 1) Open the BIAB Notation Window. 2) Start the Snipping Tool (so that it sits over the top of the BIAB notation.) 3) Select "Video" (#1) and then select "New" (#2). 4) A small dialogue window will open at the centre-top of the screen. 5) Select "Window" (#3). 6) Click anywhere in the main window. This will open the "Start" button. 7) Check that the system audio is set to record (#4). 8) Now click on "Start". A countdown will appear. 9) Start BIAB playing. It will be recorded. 10) Once you have recorded what you want, stop the recording. The option will then appear to open the recording Clipchamp for editing. 11) Screen recordings are automatically saved in your "Videos/Screen Recordings" folder.

You seem quite comfortable in this mashup of several different genres, Mario. No surprise there. You always manage some fine melody over some extraordinary playing. My favorite in this is the oboe, basson and French horns. Simultaneous support and elevation. Even the bell of the ride fits perfectly, adding that special bit of excitement. Thanx Marty. I had been working on this one for sometime prior to posting it. It was a bear to mix. I do like messing with mixing genres.

Mario, I'm with Bob on this "out of my comfort zone" nonsense. Everything you post is creative, musical and uniquely YOU. This is no exception. Your playing is GREAT (as always) but I'm really struck by the composition and arrangement this time out. Very inventive theme and progression, and most thoroughly enjoyable. Nicely done AGAIN, Maestro.  Thanx so much Ron. I'm glad you liked it.

Mario, I don't think any style of music is out of your comfort zone. This is excellent and perfectly mixed. You have such a command of the wind & breath controllers. Amazing stuff! As always, so nicely done. Bob Thanx Bob. I am still learning how to effectively use my controllers as each patch has different parameters I can use. Thanx for listening and commenting.
