Hello, I want to use the BIAB plugin to import chords into my DAW. I can successfully import a MIDI track with all the chords from the song (withe the C7 buton). However, if I select a few bars from the chord sheet (to import not the entire song, but just a section), it ignores the selection and imports all the chords! That's a real shame. In the standalone version, the export does recognize the selection, but as far as I know, it doesn't offer an option to export basic files independently of a specific track. Do you have a solution?

Band-in-a-Box 2026 build 1237 update patch is available: https://update.pgmusic.com/support/patch/bb2026_win_update_build1237.exe This includes DAW Plugin v.8.0.5 update Summary of changes for build 1237 (since build 1224) - Fixed: Opening MIDI Driver Setup from Prefs caused Lead Sheet window to open.
- Improved: Audio file reader improved stability with invalid files
- Updated: Stem splitter localization fixes
- Changed: VST3 selector - removed Rescan button and changed 'testing' to 'scanning' during scan.
- Fixed: [DAW Plugin] Changed "Selected host" to be read-only with improved handling for unknown hosts
- Fixed: [DAW Plugin] Add G-7 as a valid chord input (Gm7)
- Fixed: [DAW Plugin] Generates empty wav files if BIAB helper has not been initialized when generation starts
- Fixed: [DAW Plugin] Occasional crash when using the plugin
- Fixed: [DAW Plugin] Crash when generating wav instructions
- Fixed: Count-in setting 'lead-in drum count if drums muted/disabled' did not always work for disabled drums.
- Improved: Position info (Bar/Chorus) is always displayed on the status bar, including at bars that contain Bar Settings changes (helpful for screen readers).
- Fixed: Could not audition RealDrums variations if the install only had flac files.
- Fixed: Splitting stems might result in slower and lower pitch playback in some cases.
- Fixed: Chord Builder dialog in MultiPicker becomes blank if enter or close pressed.
- Improved: Display of scroll up/down buttons in Mixer window, and added tip for Ctrl+scroll to change track height.

- Fixed: Opening VST3 Selector would remove the previously loaded plugin even if you close the dialog without selecting a new one. Note: VST3 plugins saved in song files prior to this build will still have the old behaviour. The new behaviour is: If you select the SAME VST3 plugin as is currently selected in the track/slot this loads a new instance of the plugin with a clean state. If you close the VST3 selector without choosing a VST3, this preserves the currently loaded plugin/state.

- Changed: Master volume control area moved from the bottom to the top of the embedded and floating Mixer window.

- Improved: Master Solo button toggles between all solo and none solo (previously only toggled off). Note: hold shift to select multipls tracks to solo.

Can I get an "F"? I'll never forgot the first time I heard that song...... Yeah I know it went..... "Give me an "F", give me a "U" ... (and so on....) First time for me was watching the Woodstock movie in the theatre. Was quite something for the time, early 70s. Great song too.

Hi, everyone, thank you for your kind words. Yes, the right amount of reverb is always tricky. At the time, I had an add-on named Valhalla Supermassive Reverb, which was awesome with long reverb – in its most extreme position, you could hit the snare once, and it would fade out over several minutes. Maybe I felt the need to at least imagine a large room while being confined to our house … Unfortunately, it would be difficult to remix the song because, as I mentioned, I lost some of the instruments due to Apple dropping support for 32-bit software. It would sound very different. I sure will post other songs here. Actually, I am surprised how encouraging it is to be heard and commented on by folks who clearly have a lot of experience under their belts – it not only encourages me, but even more importantly, it changes my view on what I did and gives me already ideas what I could do better. Thank you again!

Hans, What an excellent protest song! Great arrangement, groove and an awesome mix. I love your vocals here and combined with Tamar give the song a kind of urgency. Great selection of tracks as well and a great video. This is the whole package - LOVED IT! Bob Hi Bob, I just congratulated you and Joliz (a minute ago) on your song "Drift too far"! I think I missed it somewhere. But thanks also for your comment on my Dutch song, especially your words in all caps :-) I think Tamar will have the biggest smile on her face when she hears this! Hans

Hi Bob and Joliz, wonderful song and so nice to see you both on that video! As I wrote on YouTube: That's (again) a great song from the both of you! I liked it a lot, but also the video. How easy the guitarplay looked, but then think of how much skills you need... Wonderful! And that's what I think about it. Enjoyed it a lot! Hans

Hi Mario, What I especially appreciate, whether it's "Butterflies," a complete classic, or just a jam session, is that you always manage to make highly creative music. And you always manage to weave the most exotic instruments with what I would call "classical" instruments. That's a very creative quality of yours. I'm sure it takes quite a bit of time to make it all cohesive. Like in this song; it started more or less as a classical, orchestral piece, and then the bass/synth and other instruments came in. And the most amazing thing is that you always manage to capture me with your music until the very end! Well done, Mario!

Wow, I am stunned. Now I know how the fans at Newport felt when they heard Bob Dylan go electric. I always give bonus points for creativity, and this has creativity in spades. I'm still processing how I feel about this song. I think it's a bold piece of work, but part of me thinks there might be too many ingredients in the soup. I could easily be wrong about that. I like the grunge feel to it. I keep going back and listening to it, trying to fit it in my musical brain. Lyrics were great, that's not gonna change. I may do a second review in a week or so. I love Captain Beefheart, so music that's different is fine by me. Maybe you've created a new genre, Bob, and the world needs to discover it.

Hi James, To start, I'd like to quote Ray: when the piano started, I knew immediately: this is the chord progression, typical of James. I had that feeling right away too. And then the singing started, which took some getting used to, because no, this wasn't you. But it was a beautiful voice that could sing your beautiful lyrics with great feeling. That was truly amazing. Still, I always have to get used to working with Suno, among others. But that's because I always want to do it myself, and luckily, I still can. Let me leave it at that for now... You've created a truly beautiful song, James. Kudos!!! Hans

Reading about these wonderful compositions of yours is second in enjoyement to listening. This is absolutely fantastic, Mario. Outstanding oboe sound and the perfect melody throuhgout. All of the musical magic you pack into these productions is second to none --i.e., the best. Music hits emotion. Marty, thanx so much for taking the time to listen and to comment on my song. I greatly appreciate it.

Mario, always enjoy your symphonic soundscapes. On this one, that repeated descending voice provides a cool ethereal sheen and thematic glue to the arrangement. Can see from your description that there is a lot going on beneath the wavetops. But for the listener, it's smooth sailing all the way. Your compositional skills continue to amaze. Super mix, too. Well done! Thanx so much Ron. Yes, there was a lot going on in this one. It was a bear to mix. I'm glad that you liked it.

Hi Mario! Bob Dean’s use of the word ‘lush’ to describe your piece is very apt. Your soundscape made me imagine a tropical rainforest or even an alien one with all its sounds and sprouting of plant life. Wonderful to listen to. Andrew Thanx so much Andrew for this very kind review.

Ah, this old song again. Haha. I say that from under the bus where you threw me, Hans. You misunderstood, my good man. I said it would raise your stock in the music world. Still right about that. Anyway, yes, I think this is terrific. For those who don't know Dutch as well as I do can still understand the meaning. You convey a common feeling felt 'round the world these days, and present it with the comic twist it deserves. At least your guy is out the door.

PowerTracks Pro 2026 for Windows is Here!
PowerTracks 2026 is here—bringing powerful new enhancements designed to make your production workflow faster, smoother, and more intuitive than ever.

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track.
