This is a really beautiful serene composition Mario. I've listened to it several times and keep getting more from it with every listen. The string arrangement and cellos really work that sense of peace and ease. Flawless as always. Love your work Mario. (well, it's not work is it? Anything you enjoy isn't work) Kind regards Thanx so much for these very kind words.

Very pretty piece Mario. Loved the violins. Excellent mix. Love that wind controller. My songs also start with a date. Usually what I am doing at the time will end up having something to do with the title. Well done Thanx so much Scott. I appreciate your review of this little ditty.

In your screenshot it looks like you have the original Realtrack installation files in a different location than the installation manager program is looking at. I suspect you either deleted the original Realtrack installation files or moved them to a different location so the program has no way of knowing the original files were downloaded and installed. The program compares what files are in your download location against what files are available for download based on the custom URL loaded into the program. FYI: PG Music frequently changes and updates Realtracks, Realdrums and other installation files as issues and enhancements are addressed. It is not unusual to see "a newer file is available" any time you are using the installation manager. I run the installation manager whenever I think to to make sure I'm using the most recent files.

Hi jonel, Here is how I did it, there may be an easier way because I do this in my DAW: 1-open two different versions of BiaB - setting in preference menu 2-BiaB1 is you main version. Have an utility track open, i.e. showing 3-BiaB2 is your trial version. Search for styles with MIDI drum tracks here 4-When you find one drag the drum track to the mid window in the drag and drop window and go into the drag and drop mode 5-drag the + window into BiaB1's utility track. Note that I had to delete the BiaB2 to get BiaB1 to play and I had to mute the original drum track. I did this on my Win 11 machine. If you need help later today I can include pics. I hope this helps

Hi Mario. This is excellent listening! I read your comment about using the E Arabian scale to create this melody. I have never before heard of this scale until tonight. Thanks for the lesson  I really enjoyed what you did... very creative, great backing band, and very entertaining. As always, your playing is the star of the show. --Noel

I’m using BiaB 2026 and I want to audition drums from Midi styles. Using a Utility track I want it to hold a drum sequence from one of the Midi tracks, but I can’t seem to be able to do this.

Hi floyd. This is EXCELLENT! I love what you've created. I always love the feeling of relaxation, and the vibrant images of sunshine, some kind of alcoholic drink with an umbrella sticking out of it, and a Brazilian beach filled with people in swimming gear that always appear in my mind whenever I hear a bossanova. (I think I must have listened to too much of "The Girl From Ipanema" in my early years.) This is such a satisfying musical journey. Your sense of rhythm, melody and arrangement really shine at all times. --Noel

The Drag and Drop pulldown menu near the upper left corner has an "Always on Top" toggle that I THINK does this.

Hi Ray. I listened to this a couple of weeks ago when it was still a work in progress. I really love what you've done. You and Steve have created an excellent song. The song and the video are very engaging from start to finish. I really love the way that rhyme has been used in these lyrics. The lyric-flow and the lyrics-fit with the music are very skillfully done. --Noel

Does the Band in a Box main program have a setting that keeps it always displayed in the foreground of the Windows interface?

I want to remove metronome. The problem is in preferences, even if I unchecked all the boxes I continue to hear it. The manual for Mac don't write anything about that. Is that a bug ? Thank you François

Love that rhythm and lyric, DC. Memories of Elvis Costello's early manic beats. Mix and tracks sound great. Vic Thank, Vic. Love EC, especially the early stuff with the Attractions, including Pete Thomas on drums.

That is such a beautifully immersive piece Ken, both audibly and visually. Parts of the choral elements were reminiscent of gaelic tones as used by Kate Bush. This brilliantly marries the visual beauty of flowers blooming with a well composed piece of music, both big and beautiful. Great work Ken, kind regards

I just upgraded to BiaB 2026 on Mac but when I run Install Manager it shows all my previous sets as not installed. They still seem to be there and work inside the Band in a Box program, they are just showing as Download in Install Manager instead of installed. Do I have to reinstall them again? I selected Real Tracks 1-39 and redownloaded and installed it now it shows installed but the rest do not other than the 2026 updates. Is there a way to get the Install Manager to recognize that the files are already installed?

Hi John, This is a great creation. I'm always a fan of AABA form and you've used it to perfection to create a really enjoyable, foot-tapping musical journey. The production is excellent in every way, and Clay's vocals are a perfect fit for the song and the backing. I really enjoyed going where you took me! --Noel

Hi BD ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32604&filename=mega awesome wow (small).jpg) The presentation and production of this song is nothing short of an explosive listening experience. My mind is still reeling (in a really good way) from the impact. Throughout, I kept thinking that this must be what "Pop-Opera meets Rock-Ballad meets a very inventive and musically fearless arranger and producer" sounds like. I was spellbound. It was a thoroughly thrilling musical roller-coaster ride. Absolutely brilliant and amazing. Standing ovation! --Noel

Wish we had a +1 button like every other site +1 . . .  I have wanted to "like" or +1 so many posts here . . . That would wipe out the User Showcase. Work for days on a song hoping for constructive comments and instead? Well it’d be the FB thing where you need not even read the post to respond - I mean react. Forums used to dominate the music world. I’m glad PG Music has kept their’s alive. Pardon the ole guy ramble. 😀 +1
