Re: The developer side of the fence. musocity 45 minutes ago Forum: Off-Topic Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I'm not into Delphi or C++ so I'm no expert but the main issue is the 6 months wait for Mac version, Windows users don't see this, they just see what they get at xmas time and it works good for them, so why change ? I just think implementing things would be a lot quicker and easier than Delphi, as you can see with the JUCE BBPLUGIN things get implemented quickly and look a lot better visually rather than taking a year in between each time that makes things very slow.

Thanks Ray I think what you heard is a hand clap in the RT. Peter

Hi MarioD, Thank you for your appreciation. I am now trying to combine image with sound. It's difficult for me because the music in my soundtracks is not always easy to illustrate in terms of images. Thanks again to you

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars! Callie - PG Music 1 hour ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs. A few excerpts: "The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program." "MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever." "Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."

Good to see you again, Ray. I hope all is well. Thanks for listening and for your comment. I guess since I'm not a native speaker, none of my lyrics will stand up to deeper analysis, but as you said, for pop music it's enough smile

Re: Recommended audio interfaces / soundcards for use with BIAB. justanoldmuso 1 hour ago Forum: Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Matt. re frite support here at pg makes sense. but no midi on the budgrt model ? i just feel other interfaces should be given a fair shake. the one advantage i see with the h224 over many other budget interfaces is ability to set up different mixes and being able to have it drive 2 sets of stereo monitors plus midi. amongst other offerings from my perspective the ssl and motu m4 and new audient interfaces people are raving about. my audient is flat out the best budget interface ive used and has not given me one iota of probs from day one. check out what people say about the new audient id range on the net and you tube. also as i said j krause in depth tear downs on you tube of loads of interfaces. but i recognise the ssl and m4 are very well recognised. the nice ssl has a very good mic pre gain. the m4 excellent ess sabre tech. it'll all change anyway...lol. happiness. Gordon. i heard your scraft u has studer preamps ? is this right.? but ive heard they are a bit noisy ? i loved studer multitracks...and uk trident mixers in studios. another interesting new interface ...see you tube...tested by krause is the zoom uac232 which apparently is 32 bit so a muso never has to worry bout pre overload ? happiness. om 🇨🇦 🇬🇧

V. lol if we come back in 10 years i'm sure pg will still offer rb. time will tell if i'm right. the problem today is rb is not an instant app. to appreciate its depth of features one needs to be willing to spend lots of time with. rb. frankly i dont care whether bb or rb..i just want one or other to be my 'work center' rather thzn haveing to flit around between pg and non pg music apps. if you read these forums youll see many users want rb to survive. heres what i want in rb... ..nd editing ..the new bb mpicker. ..the bb new lovely generation speed. and there other things...to save me retyping see my bb and rb wishes in the wishlist forums. shlind. rb unique..some examples ..genning tracks of course ..very strong midi tricks and there are others...just read the manual to see if rb is for you. other rb users can add their own opinions. happiness. om 🇨🇦 🇬🇧

Re: DrDan covers FJ - A Simple Truth floyd jane 2 hours ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
It is nice to have a place like this (forum) to post our songs. It is always nice to have folks comment on things that they might find appealing about the song or its presentation. It is especially nice when someone likes what we do enough to have it on a playlist to hear again. To have someone like a song well enough to record it themselves is....priceless. Mind blowing. A real thrill. Nothing beats a performance from the heart. This is certainly that. Incredibly touching. Moving. So much heart. Wishing you both the best. Keep a song in your hearts. fj

I have not used RealBand so much myself only sporadically but I wonder, is there a list available somewhere that shows the uniqueness of RB i.e. major functions/features that only are available in RealBand and not in other common DAWs? (what can I do in RB that I can not do in other DAWs?)
