Flow happens, if I am performing and can't get to the 'Flow' aspect, it's a bad night. However, as mentioned, practice does indeed help make the 'Flow' possible, but to me that went without saying. A musician knows how to play their instrument (or 2 or 3 or 4) A musician getting into the 'Flow' was the article, and yes, it happens. You know the music well enough that you are not in the 'reading/thinking/computing' state of mind (learning), but more in the feel/groove state, which is always a much better place to be. Music flows out of you that you never would have anticipated sometimes.

Have you done the available updates for that version, or is it still the release version? Look for 2021 version updates here - https://www.pgmusic.com/support.realband.htm Also, trying the Edit- Audio Plugins- Gain Change plugin may help to get the track level back to where it is expected to be as a quick workaround, but I do not recall this issue happening even back in 2021

Audible count-in is something that wasn't implemented when using Dxi/VSTi soft synths. That's because of the latency involved. During playback itself, the latency of the buffers can be taken into account when sending the metronome notes to the soft synth. I could try eventually having it implemented in the future, but I'm not sure if that would result in the count-in notes being slightly delayed and/or possibly the last count-in note being cut off when actual playback starts. It would really depend upon what buffer sizes are being used. Whenever I work on a song, I usually create a 2 bar lead-in (such as by generating RealDrums or filling a track with a drum pattern) which serves as the count-in if recording from the beginning, and if I need to record in the middle of the song I usually don't rely on the metronome count-in but just use the punch-in feature and start a bar or two before the punch-in point.

It's about time the Library of Congress acknowledged Bacharach/David's "Magic Moments" as one of the greatest music compositions of all time!

Man Mario, this is really good. I love the melody and the progression. The instrumentation is perfect, and it's all mixed so well. Very Pro sounding, loved the entire journey. Brad Thanx Brad I appreciate your comments.

Everyone of your song is a tunnel to the mysterious kingdom and I'm not sure if I've ever come back, but you seem to have returned and brought its magic, and on every visit you bring more of that magic to us. This is just excellent with melody sections that are out of this ordinary world. The flute, the bass and the guitar are painting something extra-ordinary, and they blend with other instruments seamlessly. This is very creative and enticing, an instrumental that tells a mesmerizing story, no words needed. Janne Thanx so much Janne for this wonderful review. I really appreciated it.

Confirmed. This was reported for BBW and affects RB as well if that plugin is used. I added a note to the bug report that it's still occurring in 2024. It appears the plugin is processing the audio properly, but the center LED meter just isn't working.

I enjoyed the part about triplets. PG Music has stated for YEARS that using triplets is how Band-in-a-Box switches from straight to swing feel. This video helped me to understand why.

ANY flow starts with learning how to play an instrument. Maybe try that. Eddie, is this directed at me? If so, I am learning an instrument, actually more than one; view the Showcase for examples. I don't see any examples of you on the Showcase. Can you play an instrument? I'd be interested in hearing from veteran musicians that have experienced "flow" and how it aligns or doesn't align with this article.

OK! I've completed the Bass Gtr, and Drums. There's a partial piano part from the beginning thru the 1st chorus. The chorus might be a little out of line since I couldn't deal with BIABs method for unorthodox time sigs. But what I have of the piano part can essentially just be copied. BIAB did generate what I have, and I'm extremely happy with it. I played the entire bass part myself. I have the Chord chart and literal notes for the bass so you can follow that verbatim. I need at least 2 electric gtr parts. 1 that simply plays on 2 & 4 (& 6 if necessary). 2nd guitar that plays a very clean Memphis/Muscle Shoals sound. Listen to the original if you're not sure. I also need a Hammond B3 (slow Leslie). We'll hammer the rest out. Anyhoo, here's some basic chord charts that should give you a good road map. I just realized BIAB won't accept my PDF files  . So, I'm going to ask you to give me your private email in the PM section and I'll send the PDFs to that email. It won't accept my mp3 either .

So is the objective to suggest an operational definition of “creative flow?” Sans that folks can run all over the map with experiences that may or may not have a thread of commonality. I think some degree of commonality is being observed from brain imaging data. "The musicians who were experiencing flow while performing showed reduced activity in parts of their frontal lobes, which are known to be involved in executive function or cognitive control. In other words, flow was associated with relaxing conscious control or supervision over other parts of the brain."

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."
