Marty really glued it all down. Nice mix and video too, You three always serve up Blues Rock at it’s finest! And we always enjoy it, J&B
The particular line you quoted is probably my favorite and was written by Chris, who is a far better lyricist than me smile Thanks for the support, very much appreciated!

Re: How to put in the chord F minor add 9 into the chord track Noel96 1 hour ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Macintosh Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I agree with Audiotrack. I cannot see that m(add9) chords are part of BIAB's repertoire at this point in time. Have you tried Fm69? While is adds a D to the sound, it might actually sound okay. The other possibility that I can think of is to use Fm, and generate the track. Next, go through and use playable Realtracks to manually add the G note in one of the major instruments (e.g. piano or guitar) for each of the Fm chords that you want to be Fm(add9). The 9th probably won't need entering in all instruments since it is usually better not to double dissonant notes across too many instruments. After you have done this, you could then freeze the track to keep your work.

I noticed you played a Peavey Predator Plus - I'm not sure what the 'plus' is, but I still own my Peavey Predator strat - a wonderfully versatile guitar that was ideal for me as I made the transition from bedroom acoustic strummer to playing in a band. I mostly use my Gretsch hollow body nowadays - as you say in your signature - one can never have enough! Andrew D
Thanks, Andrew! Surfin'/pop/metal sounds good to me! Thanks for listening. The Peavey Predator AX (not Plus, I corrected the credit) is basically a Predator body and neck with everything else upgraded at the factory. My Avatar is a Predator AX, though not the one I played here. (My signature doesn't say "Too many guitars" for no reason) Only made the Predator AX in small numbers from about 1993-1995, so they're not common. I agree with you on the versatility of the Predator. Best bang for the buck for a Strat style guitar IMHO.

Brian, quite and elegant composition, and pleasing to listen to. Sounds like it could be the opening movement to a much longer piece. Nice job on the arrangement and mix. Sounds great to me!

Re: Could I get a Sade-type sound with a PC + Ableton? Or would Mac + Logic Pro be way better? AudioTrack 1 hour ago Forum: Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I doubt that one platform over another will change the actual results. Both PC and Mac can deliver the goods. There are several Sade Styles in BIAB that might work. The Sax part is challenging to do with MIDI, but not impossible. However, if you can find a Real Style with Sax, that might be a better starting point. I listened to demo samples of _TALK (2024/06 Xtra Pak 18) _COSTA (2023/11 xPro 6 pak) _QUETZAL (2023/11 Xtra Pak 17) All could work with Sade style music. BTW, are you actually using BIAB or are you intending to create your music inside your selected DAW? Anyway, hope this helps.

Re: Sometimes Dreamers WaoBand 5 hours ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
A very 60s vibe to this - indeed very Carpenters - and I really like the chords structure. My only criticism, which is clearly a personal thing, is that I just don't like SynthV vocals. Here and elsewhere where other have used alternatives such as Suno, the vocals sound organic, where for me SynthV vocals don't, particularly the way they're phrased, which is probably down to the singers not being Western.

Alan, I haven’t been on the forum since January, and I have just read your post about Di. I’m so sorry to hear the sad news. From the progress reports you posted over the last couple of years, it is obvious Di put up such a good and brave fight. Also obvious is the love you shared. I hope you’re going ok, with plenty of support around you. You certainly have many PG Forum friends sending their love. Thinking of you, Mike

Thanks for listening, Ray. When various comments are pro aspects and others the opposite I think that some of it is down to the system and/or app one is listening on. Once I have my samples arranged and mixed in Audacity and I think all is balanced I next find that when I play a WAV of the project in 2 Windows players and my preferred VLC player some solos can sound way too low or high in volume, plus I hear different things when I play a track at low, medium and high volumes. I do a lot of testing, mostly having the new track in a playlist so I can make comparisons, but all too often when I upload a video I've approved to YouTube I suddenly hear anomalies I didn't spot previously during numerous listens. Floyd has said he experiences the same.

Re: More realistic harmonies Jim Fogle Yesterday at 09:25 PM Forum: RealBand Jump to new postsJump to new posts
As long as the Win 10 is a 64 bit operating system your pc should be able to handle 2025 Band-in-a-Box and RealBand. Almost every Win 10 installation is 64 bit. I'm running 2025 BiaB and RB on a 64 bit Windows 10 computer with a weak Intel i3 microprocessor and 8 GB of ram. The storage drive has 500 GB of storage. I'm the fourth person to use this laptop. It was originally purchased in 2007. You mentioned you plan on upgrading soon. That's a good idea since Microsoft is ending all Windows 10 updates October 14, 2025. There is an option to purchase an additional year of security updates though. Do a web search to find out more.
