Tano, What a cool mix right out of the gate! Great piano choice, cool sax, slick groove . . . I'm not familiar with the phrase, but it sets up a refreshing theme for a song . . . Really like the write and you do a great job with the synth vocal. Well done! Deej

Illuminating the dark side of the moon Bass Thumper Yesterday at 03:55 PM Forum: Off-Topic Jump to new postsJump to new posts
A friend sent me this lecture thinking I might enjoy it, he was right. Music enthusiasts and especially those that appreciate Pink Floyd may also find this lecture educational and enlightening. Milton Mermikides of Gresham College (established 1597) does a great technical and artful examination of The Dark Side of the Moon. He gets into vocal mimicry, musical expectancy, quietly desperate chords, jazz influences, the rise of electronic music, madness and much more. Life would be so bland if it weren't for brilliant musicians and for intellectuals like Mermikides that can connect dots that many of us would otherwise never connect. Illuminating

Thank you, Dan. I'm not huge on clanging cymbals either, but once I committed to it I did try to EQ it down a bit. Should have gone for the cowbell instead. Ha!

Re: Concert a la Queens Brno Yesterday at 07:38 AM Forum: User Showcase
Not at all "a total disaster". Just little more building the progression and fine tuning the dynamics and it's genuine classic rock. On the other hand you're so great with the latin styles, that it's a pleasure to listen your those songs. I believe, that it's ok to stay at ones "comfort zone", but still having once in a while some adventures outside it. I like to play with different styles, because BiaB is there at it's best. Still I return often back to my roots, rhythm and blues and celtic folk music as born in the 1960s, but also even to Finnish folk music. So don't give up, even getting some critics.

I haven't used the Melody or Soloist tracks with this song. So far, everything seems to be working as it should since I unfroze all the tracks. I'll keep that in mind about the Melody and Soloist tracks, thanks.

Hi Raquel - there aren't too many flamenco players on here, though I can at best call myself a "previous flamenco student" at best. But if you aren't aware of it - here is an excellent website that might rekindle your interest: http://www.foroflamenco.com/

Most DAWs are cross-platform but a few are not. BIAB for Windows includes RealBand, unavailable in the Mac version. GarageBand is included in the macOS and LogicPro X is only available for the Mac.

Absolutely a clue that the source of the 'other' sound is MIDI.

Re: How to put in the chord F minor add 9 into the chord track Noel96 07/12/25 09:02 AM Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Macintosh
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.

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
