There is a button to "Generate Intro" which will place 2, 4 or 8 bars at the very beginning of the bar chart.The button has an ABA on the icon for Song Form. Oh, thats not what you want. In front of C you say. Just right- click on the C and select "Insert Bars"

Strong lyrics. You have perfected that 70s style sound so well. Guitar sound is phenomenal. Those BIAB sound like they are part of the song---meaning that sometimes those BIAB ooos and ahhhs don't quite fit in some songs, but here you blended them in well. Thanks Scott! I had to do some surgery on those BIAB oohs and Ahhs and blend in my own to make it work! At least I can count on the BIAB singers being on-pitch! TB

That gets me to the question of what is the definition of being successful? Regarding the definition of being musically successful, I think we need to recognize 2 things. 1. That musical success is also on a spectrum and not Boolean 2. The context ........................................... FWIW - Here are my definitions of musical success: 1-Those who are assigned to major record companies, tour, and make it big time. 2-Those who make a living playing locally. This includes bands and orchestras. 3-Those who have made money playing music as an avocation. 4-Those who just sit at home and enjoy making music. These are just my definitions and yours may vary. Feel free to modify my lists. PS - I would put Notes in the #2 definition and myself in first #3 and now in #4.

Nah, man There are people who can't carry the tune for Happy Birthday song, (sometimes even after lessons!) Don't tell me you've never heard them. Bob, I don’t know what you are “nah manning” about. As near as I can tell Levitin isn’t saying there are no tone-deaf people out there. . . quite the contrary. Isabella Peretz discovered a patient who had absolute pitch but is tone deaf! He can name notes perfectly, but he cannot sing to save his life. Of course there are tone-deaf people out there. How could there not be?

Just downloaded 2026, in looking through my files, I see that I have RealDrum stems sets 2,3 and 5. It looks like these are included in the 49 Bonus Paks but in looking as far back as 2000, I'm missing sets 1 and 4. I see that set 2 was released in 2022, set 3 in 2023 and set 5 in 2024. Did I miss them or were they not included? Do you folks have all 5 sets? Appreciate your help, Jeff

Not sure if you had many Realtrak from previous years, I do, with is the today equivalent of the UltraPACK+. that cross grade is simply not viable to me. I am going to try to convert the realtrack, drums, and demo files so that I can use them, as I paid quite a lot of money over the years. That, assuming it's possible. Yes, most of the audio software I use have a standard dual OS license.

I had the same question and when I asked support they said you have to use the Crossgrade option under the Purchase options to go from Windows to Mac. I was disappointed that you had to pay to switch as all my other music software, DAWs and VSTs, allow you to use them on both systems.

A pricey solution, but Melodyne Studio can change the inversion of a chord or change when the individual notes of a chord are played. On sale for more than half off through 30 Dec. I paid full price many years ago, and it's still the best bargain of any music software I've ever purchased.

Is there a way to move the RealTracks and Drums to an external hard drive without re-downloading them? They are taking 175 GB on my hard drive so I would like to relocate them to an external drive. I know I can specify the path in the BiaB Install Manager but if I move the files manually will that detect they already exist when I run the install and just adjust the path? Thank you.

I'm in the process of changing several parts of the UI to a dark color scheme. I make an adjustment and save it, then tweak something a little further which I want to save to the same color scheme, but I can't remember the exact name. Could the Save Scheme dialog have a drop drown menu list (a TComboBox) of previous color schemes so I could select the correct one? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=31881&filename=2025-12-08_14-04-32.jpg) It would be great if this could be revisited. Thanks!

Thanks for the replys. Yes, asking about inversions. Gm - root position chord F - root position chord Gm - 2nd inversion chord Dm - root position chord Chords would give a walking down effect You may be able to get a walking down effect by using slash chords, where you specify the bass note to play alongside each chord. E.g. F F/E F/D F/C

We've experienced that three times over the past 45 years. Sooooo relatable. Our last canine friend, Heart, permeated every aspect of our lives. She is still with us on every hike and more. No need to parse this out. The write, vocals, arrangement, band and mix are all superb. This demands to be heard ... no matter the season. Stunningly well done! J&B Hey Janice & Bud, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your kind words. Hearing how Heart has been such a big part of your lives, joining you on hikes and in quiet moments, really hits home. It reminds me that the love we have for our furry friends goes beyond their physical presence, and the pain of losing them shows just how strong that bond was. Your openness about Heart’s role in your life has helped me see my own grief in a more compassionate way—knowing I’m not alone on this journey brings a comfort that’s hard to put into words. I’m grateful not just for your kind words about the song, but also for the humanity you bring to this conversation. It’s this shared empathy that makes music such a refuge and a connection. May the memories of Heart continue to walk with you on every trail, and may we all find comfort in knowing our beloved friends live on through the stories we share and the songs we sing. Thanks again, J&B Izzy
