Welcome to the forum. I recommend you start a new post and use the Roland RD-08 in the post title.

AMERICAN MADE_David Snyder David Snyder 4 hours ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
So, since I am a really patriotic guy, but don’t find much to be patriotic about these days, I decided to write a song about my lovely patriotic wife, who represents the best of America to me, in too many ways to count. I am a southern boy who ran off to New York City for a long time in his youth, but she is from Jersey. It is a beautiful thing. Jersey girls are the best. Just ask Tom Waits. Anyway, in our house we stand for many American values. We also stand for parallel mastering. On this song, I tried a new trick I learned on YouTube that is based on a technique utilized by the famous engineer Andrew Scheps. What you do is, you create a secondary master buss where you additionally send all of the instrumental tracks except for the drums (which have their own buss), and then you add additional magic to that Secondary Master Buss (aka Rear Buss) that you place side by side with the master master buss. It just so happens that I have the Andrew Scheps Omni Channel plugin which I put on the secondary master bus. Hope you enjoy this. AMERICAN MADE By David Snyder https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs4/american-made V1 She says she’s from Jersey And that’s ok by me Cause she listens to Springsteen And she was born to be free And she’s friendly with Jesus And she’s friendly with me And she looks like a woman In the sun or the shade And whatever I owe her She’s says she’s already paid CH And she’s American made Sexy and strong And she’s American made So I wrote her song Sings like an angel, and her love never fades I thank God that she found me What else can I say She’s American made V2 So I drove her to Pittsburgh To see McCartney play And she said that she loved me When he sang Yesterday And she’s a Rock ‘n Roll Mystery She’s a Rock ‘n Roll song And when I feel her kiss me That’s where I belong CH And she’s American made Sexy and strong And she’s American made So I wrote her song Sings like an angel, and her love never fades I thank God that she found me What else can I say She’s American made V3 So I’m not watching TV Until I’ve cast my vote Cause all of those people They’ll just be cutting my throat I’d rather be with my sweet girl By some mountain steam Because inside of her heart She’s my American Dream CH And she’s American made Sexy and strong And she’s American made So I wrote her song Sings like an angel, and her love never fades I thank God that she found me What else can I say She’s American made All Music and Lyrics copyright 2024 by David Snyder ASCAP/Day of Faith Records David Snyder: Vocals, Acoustic and Electric 6-string and 12-string guitars, Lead Guitar, additional instrumentation, production, engineering, mixing and mastering Dedicated to the lovely and epic Gayle Snyder, best wife, singer, musician, co-writer, best friend, maker of feasts and super awesome party planner and adventurous travel buddy ever.

Re: Ghost Town Matt Finley 5 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts
You're right, of course. I'm wondering, what with lots of FAQs out there, where this set of system requirements came from? It would be worth sending a suggestion to PG Music to update it. In particular, I think the change this year that loads and regenerates RealTracks so much faster must be taking more computer processing power. Only if BIAB had remained MIDI-only would those specs have a fighting chance. "Turn off Fast Generation" and the like can send someone down an unproductive journey with an underpowered computer.

Good morning Marty.... I thought it had a good 'drive' of that salsa style too which is not a term I would generally associate with the genre. I will be perusing more of that genre for the next endeavor providing I don't free fall into another 'slump'. smile Thanks very much for checking it our ant the generous comments. Howdy Blue.... I liked that style too which not one that I've employed in the past. This BIAB program is a very cool tool for us song writers and I'd have several songs in my "unfinished" folder without it. Thanks very much for taking the time to give a listen and kind comments. Have a great everyone!

Re: Scaler 2.0 Update Available DrDan 7 hours ago Forum: Off-Topic Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I don't disagree with you guys. Scaler can be perceived as odd and therefore not for everyone. But I would say that what it does, is truely unique. And at $39 it can be entertaining, educational and a great value for the buck. I actually spend more time in the standalone version (which is only coming in Scaler 3, but there is a free addon which works well now). So no need to even open the DAW. And by the way I have never read the manual. There is nothing better to experiment with chord progessions, chord voicings, scales, modes, modulations, key changes, and piano patterns not to mention a wide selection of sounds. Pure ear candy to provide inspiration. I am not trying to change anyones mind here. Just enjoying the conversation and trying to add a perspective. Carry on. Oh and by the way, I do enjoy the videos... grin

Re: WALKING COUNTRY SONG_David Snyder David Snyder 7 hours ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Yes Floyd, Good Old Morgan is one prolific songwriter indeed. I have no idea why you brought his name up in the context of the song but okay. Anyway, if he WERE the subject of the song, I can only say that all is fair in war and country music. If you do something really stupid and I'm trying to find material for a song, then you're going to end up being collateral damage in another crazy David Snyder song and that's all there is to it. I will not confess to the people who are actually on my Spotify playlist because I don't want to show my hand and give myself away, but it could be that I have actually listened to and studied the outpourings of someone who could put out 36 songs on their latest album. What I'm saying is, there's a slight chance that I might have already listened to those said epic albums to pick up some mixing tips and some lyric tips because you just never know!!!! 🙂

Thank you Hans! The old David never left! He just has a severe case of multiple personality disorder in case you haven't noticed!! Some people drink themselves into a stupor and get arrested by the police, and other people just talk to their imaginary friends and go more quietly! 🙂 But seriously thank you for the kind words and I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Re: What utility do you use to read/change MIDI files? Notes Norton 7 hours ago Forum: Off-Topic Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I use Master Tracks Pro (abandoned ware). Why? 1) Without audio, the interface is clean and quick. No menus with sub and sub-sub menus to open. Every dialog is available with a hover and click. 2) Very good global editing features. If PTPro adopted the editing features of MTPro, I'd use it instead. Notes ♫

Re: Ghost Town AudioTrack 8 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts
My take, and apologies if this is derailing. BIAB could easily be adapted to perform as an Arranger keyboard system, using a fast processor, adequate RAM and a decent SSD. However... Some of the currently advertised System Requirements preclude this from ever being delivered:
Quote
System Requirements for Band-in-a-Box® Windows®: 11/10/8/7 (32 or 64-bit) Minimum 1GB RAM (2GB+ recommended) Minimum 1.0 GHz processor (2GHz+ multicore recommended)
I don't know anyone running Windows 7 (no longer supported for several years by Microsoft) on a 1.0 GHz processor and expecting anything from producing music. And that's what I believe is holding this opportunity back. Can you even start to imagine the interest that would be generated if BIAB was also an Arranger System that could be used with almost any existing keyboard? Nobody with a 1.0 GHz Windows 7 anything is purchasing the 2024 version of BIAB. Move on.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

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."
