Tangmo, Have a look at the below video. I found it very instructional when I was trying to get the most from markers. The video is 15 minutes long and is about Markers and Regions in Reaper. It's by Kenny Gioia (my favourite Reaper teacher.) In case it's useful information, Kenny's full collection of videos can be found at... http://www.kennymania.com/reaper-videos/ Regards, Noel

Hi Wish, The fact that you can save a wav file using the "Track Actions" method indicates that everything in BIAB is running as it should and is working properly. That the drag and drop to Reaper doesn't work suggests that the problem might well be because your version of Reaper is 64 bit. You mentioned this some time back and I wasn't sure if it would impact. Because I have j-bridge which runs automatically when needed, it might have kicked in even though I didn't see any evidence

Mike, I was impressed back in 2006, and blown away today. Actually, a "Band in a Box" was EXACTLY what I was looking for, so it was aptly named in my case.

Your post says "VSTi" which are instruments. The ones I use very often are. Studio Instruments that come free with a free download of Cakewalk by BandLab. I got them by buying Music Creator 7 but now you can get them for free. Drums, Bass, Electric Piano and Strings. Not sure if it still comes with the TTS-1 midi synth but I often use that as a quick reference for things like trying BIAB midi styles or midi files I download from the internet. I rarely keep any of it in a final mix. B

Good melody and the voice is quite unique - in a good way. It's probably but the drums seem to lean to one side away from the chugging guitar - or it may be that guitar is masking the drums a little on its side. Cool song. Well done to both of you.

I'm trying to generate a track to add to a mix that will take the place of (or be the equivalent of) an organist holding the pedal down. Sorry I didn't see this e

Has anyone read this book? https://www.amazon.com/Songwriting-Wrongs-How-Right-Them/product-reviews/0898795087 88 Songwriting Wrongs and How to Right Them. I read it years ago and found it invaluable. It helped me to become my own first critic.

There are other threads here on which we discuss mixing quite thoroughly. I confined my comments on this thread exclusively to the issue of using headphones versus nearfield monitors for mixing.

Greg, thank you! On speakers at my place it did, sound ok too, but in reality it is a bit mushy. After years of very fair critique from my wife that my tunes are muddy, I finally understood the cause of the problem after posting a tune here couple of days ago and getting constructive feedback Now, like a good schoolboy I will check frequencies before mixdown! Mike.

Rob & Anne-Marie, I enjoy your folkier songs like this where the pure quality of your vocals and feel for a good melody shine through. A lovely song that communicates the sad feeling in any language. Robert

Unique, and I mean that in a good way. You did a great job with the progression. The production was nice too, with the instruments coming and going subtly--especially the mando. A very fun listen.

In other PGMusic products this is an option/setting somewhere in the MIDI prefs. PT/RB can be either the master or slave for syncing .. if it's the slave it can be set to wait for a start message from the other controlling software/device. I'll see if I can find this setting in BiaB, though your noted messages from BiaB are foreign to me (I'm a novice with BiaB, but experienced with other PGMusic software). *edit All I found is a on/off MIDI sync setting shown in the image below. It appears t

I select track, click Edit-MIDI-Quantize Set your desired parameters Make sure the From-Thru area contains what you want to quantize. (normally the whole song) Using Select Whole Track (CTRL + A) will do this, before going to the Edit window I mention. .. or make sure you see From 1-1-0 Thru 1000-1-0 like in the image below (unless your song is longer than 1000 measures). IOW, make sure you have selected the desired area on the desired track before hitting Edit.

#TBT Band-in-a-Box® 2017 Review - Software for Learning Saxophone
McGill Music Sax School posted a video review of Band-in-a-Box® 2017 for Windows last year, stating "I love using software to help learn saxophone. One of my favourite programs is Band-in-a-Box.

Band-in-a-Box® 2018 for Mac - Importing MIDI Files
Did you know that Standard MIDI files can be read in to the Melodist or Soloist track within Band-in-a-Box? You can use all of the MIDI File, or select channels or a specific range of bars, using these steps:
1. Melody | Import Melody from MIDI File to select a MIDI file from disk using the file dialog.
2. Melody | Import Melody from Clipboard - when the MIDI data is already copied from another program to the
clipboard.
A new window will open, asking for additional criteria - which channels, # of bars to offset..., # of bars to import, include lyrics, include patch changes - and more! Head to our online manual Chapter 10: Working with MIDI to learn more!
