I feel like I am at a concert hall with the lights down low. A standing ovation after the performance. Smooth transition from the vocal to the violin. And then they both interact well together.

I love the melody of the chorus and the rhyming couplet: "there were no angry words, no ultimatum or curse/so the good news is the bad news could’ve been worse." Mix sounds flawless. Vocals are superb.

You still have good ears. Mix is fabulous. You've captured that easy listening 70s sound well.

Since my most recent post I have started downloading via the Install Manager. We'll see how that goes. My question regarding the .m4a files remains.

There are no .m4a files in that folder. There are 22 .bt1 files, but that's all. There's also a second folder with almost the same name as the first one, but with "Direct Input" tacked onto the end. It also has 22 .bt1 files, and also 22 .flac files, but no .m4a files. I clicked one of the Flac files, and it played properly via Audacity. "If those files are somehow missing, this can be fixed by reinstalling the group of RealTracks sets that include RT set #309." I'm not sure how to reinstall the relevant RealTracks sets. Please advise. Lastly, I have the Audiophile edition, so I'm not sure why the .m4a files factor in here. Thank you.

When you double-click on a style in the StylePicker, is there a yellow message that says "Auditioning style..... https://demos.pgmusic.com.... " ? If you then close the StylePicker and go to Help | Utilities | Display log... find the URL and paste it into your web browser - does it download and play?

Hi! I'd love to suggest new songs to add to the Styles dialog, but I'd really like to know if anyone has provided an updated Styles list that lets users like me to browse styles more easily. What I'm looking for is styles that are fairly common, but don't have an easy way to find them. For example, Broadway Two-Step (like "We need a Little Christmas"), Bavarian Polka (like "Beer Barrel Polka") and others. If you have any sort of style list like this, please let me know.

Anybody really deep into UVR v5.6.1? Specifically looking at downloaded extraction algorithms of VR Arch, MDX-Net and Demucs. Do you see any difference between the VR Arch, UVR-MDX-Net or Demucs versions and the newer MDX Reformer versions? Which do you find the best for generating full sounding WAV files while stripping out the vocals without leaving the "water wash" sound? What post-processing do you use in your DAW after UVR processing. Current version is still UVR v5.6.0. Anything that's newer may not be legit. That said, when using UVR, I've preferred the MDX-Net models, but as Mike already mentioned, it depends on the source material. Please note, however, that almost all models are three years old or older and are therefore no longer state-of-the-art. And UVR is limited to separating vocals, individual instruments cannot be separated. But for a completely free, local open-source stem separator, it's still pretty good.

re stem splitters. (Mike agree with your points.) ive tried a couple includeing rb one and obviously it depends on the audio source quality from my tests. imho...the elephant in the room is once split how to improve the stems that are in a rough state. i would love to update some of my songs done in tape based commercial studios in the past as well as when i had a modest tape based home studio years back. hopefully one day to improve old stereo recordings will become a three stage process... ..create stems from a stereo master....then.... ..correct stems due to any slight tempo variations. eg the best tape multitracks can vary eg up to 0.6% from what i understand. ..for those stems that are just too far gone a user can tell AI to 'model' a new track. eg violin trak too far gone AI creates a new one based on the song and the notes. i was reading about a new stem seperator with 15 stems apparently. i'm trying to be optimistic that one day maybe there will be tools that make me happy. gonna follow this thread further. happiness to all. om

The video you added is pretty good and interesting. But to be honest, neither the video nor the song gives me any clue as to what the song is about. Still, it's a beautiful song  It's about ... 2 minutes 17 seconds. Beyond that, can't articulate anything more than it's about longing for something past while being resigned to never reaching it in the future. I think... I just made that up actually;)

Ken, Good to "meet" you. I've been away from the forum for several months and hadn't heard any of your work prior to this one. This is a lovely waltz and video. I've been on Soundcloud and this forum for almost 15 years and still don't know how to create and load a video. I really enjoyed your song. Thanks for a nice listen. Best to you, Alan Nice to e-meet you too. Glad you enjoyed it - and that I'm not the only one technically challenged

Yes, the regular interface seems to work okay. Just not the style picker Hmmm... You've peaked my curiosity. Just for kicks, I connected my 2023 BIAB Audiophile drive to my Mac Studio running macOS Tahoe 26.5.1 and everything I tried worked including Style Picker and Audio. I have no idea if Support will help you with a three year old copy but it doesn't hurt to ask. Chat is available during business hours. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32780&filename=Screenshot 2026-07-08 at 11.35.26 AM.png)

"Last Seen" means most recent post. We’ve missed him also. Great band indeed. “Note: RT 2905 was ‘sliced and diced’ in certain sections to obtain the one bar fills in the choruses.” Yes! comping up multiple re-gens is for us THE way to go to personalize a RT. Nice performances by you …. vocals and guitar. The write? Well you more than adequately described it! Love Tunemonger’s description: might be some quirkily profound. Another fine mix and another one of your productions much enjoyed by us. J&B

We don't know diddly about games but we know a good tune when we hear it. And this is a fine one. Very cool theme, excellent supporting band and a tight mix. The baritone vocal (term is from our bluegrass days) is a perfect fit. Ominously well done! J&B

Excellent Alan. Crystal clear open mix with many subtle dynamics. Just what we love. Love what Ray said, "Gentle but sprightly too." That is one fine BiaB Wrecking Crew and, man, that solo guitar is standout. Great listen and well done! J&B

We've lived in the US South for all our lives. The southern rock genre arose from the initial popularity of the Allman Brothers Band. We always found that amusing given that the ABB played a wonder fusion. A fusion of jazz, blues and rock! Regardless of nomenclature this is a well written and produced song. The mix is excellent and sounds great on our Kali monitors. Well done and enjoyed by us, J&B

Mario, Forget the yardwork, just write us stunningly beautiful music, just like this one! Love it all. Love the diminished chords ... a beautiful, optimistic track! Really, really wonderful. A joy to hear. Nice harmonic change at 2:30, with a return to the original key at around 3:00. One of your best, most pleasant tracks. I'm off to hear it again Thanks!!!

There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4).

And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
