Chay, you've created some beautiful music here! You've assembled quite the ensemble with those BIAB tracks! I can surely relate to that struggle to come up with something new! That's usually when I remember to check my voice recorder on my phone for short little melody snippets that pop in my mind occasionally that I quickly record. Usually something will develop from those. This was an enjoyable listen that is well worth the time investment to check it out! Thanks, TB Much appreciated, Torrey! My problem now is getting vocal songs sorted as I've got a backlog of 7.

Your music is always such a treat, Chay. Love the way you build this one, too. It starrts with piano magic then builds to a strong feel mixed with contless emotions. I like how you mix with the right pieces coming to the fore at the best times. Thanks, Marty! I'm actually surprised by the good reception it's had here, plus on YouTube where it's had double my average views, but while I obviously like the peace piece, it's not in my top 30 favourites out of 44 BiaB tracks posted! I must have caught a vibe I didn't realise I had.

Lovely composition. Fine instrument choices. I really like what the cello adds to the track. Thanks, Scott! Yep I love the cello, plus it always works well with viola and violin. In this instrumental where the latter two cut out and the fiddle solo begins, the cello remains as it gives such good grounding,

Nicely done, Chay, you are a master at composing interesting instrumentals! Thanks, Dave! I'm now praying that I can soon start doing vocals songs, but it's so hard where I live, I've now got 7 with the music already sorted, including a comical song from eons of epochs of ages of eras of yonks and yonks and yonks ago, aka 1973 when I was 22,

One final comment. Wow and Flutter is not noise which can be filtered or EQ'ed out. It is a corruption of the track due to actual phyical damage to the tape on which the music was recorded. This issue, best I know, is isolated to old processing - pre digital music making. But many of you know that better than I. My current efforts are the first time I have encountered this. Hense, I never needed a tool to fix it. I did what I could by placing a new melodic instrument (Organ) to play over the wobbly guitar while I reduced its volume. The really bad stuff was isolated to the first 25% of the guitar part. So I could bring the guitar back in for the solo and later verse. Dan

Actually I like it this way, and I requested it some dozen years ago. My suggestion at the time was considered but overridden. I really like the method of data entry for notes and rhythms in BIAB, so I enter all the notes and then go back through to ‘add’ all the rests. But that’s just me. I always figured this would be an optional setting.

Mario, What no MIDI! LOL! This is great Mario - that Swam sax really gives the song an epic feel. Love your guitar playing as well. Bob

Here in South Florida, the winters are usually mild. But when a huge deep-freeze blizzard hits the northeast states, we might get the tail end. Night temperatures in the low 40s and only 60 in the day. Then it warms back up to the 60s at night and 70s in the day typically the next day, and rarely a couple. .............................. Notes ♫ You're breaking my heart Notes  Woke up at 7:30AM yesterday to 2F (-16.7C) and today at 1:30PM it is 9F (-13.8C). Now I have to go out and snowblow and shovel my driveway.

In previous versions (and also the 32 bit version included with 2026) when starting to enter notes the Note Box is initially automatically ticked. To enter a rest the Rest Box is ticked by the user and the rest entered. Following this the Note Box is automatically ticked and note insertion can carry on until the next rest. With the 2026 version this does not happen. After inserting a rest the Note box is not automatically ticked. This needs to be done by the user slowing down the whole process. Anybody else find this irksome.

I'm in the dark here. Is the point that you get the 'BIAB 2026 new features' when you search for 'dark', and there is no entry for 'Dark Mode"? There is an Options, Preferences, Display, Load Scheme where you can select the Default Dark mode, or load a dark mode you manually created and saved.

Is it possible the other way round? Draging the chord track from Studio one into the plugIn? I cannot find any Manual, video or other information that is not outdated for years. Am I too blind or doesn't the plugIn get some love from PG Music. One would think that the plugIn is important for many users.

Legend has it if you saw BIAB in half you can count the rings to tell its age! Or, you can just use it and find these ancient nuggets scattered throughout.
