I feel sure that musiclover is being a little tounge-in-cheek' Quote: "For the first time, music fans can hear the incredible story of Abbey Road and its role in music history," For the first time? Really? 231 GBP is about AU$450 (+Handling and delivery fees - a bonus). I think I'll hold off at this point. And I somehow doubt that this is 'the first time'
Nice one Floyd and Bill! Excellent write and vocal as always. I like the way you build the intensity as the track progresses, and how you bring in the strings towards the end. Top notch and totally professional, enjoyed!
for me with vision impairment ive always found over loads of years and irrespective of daw used vol auto is too fiddly. way too fiddly. now the eye docs have improved my sight somewhat... (im ecstatic)...ive tried vol auto again in the spirit of openness and still it frustrates me. one of the reason i still use reaps v2 is i can split bits of my vocal tracks and useing a cursor visually see the waveforms change... so i can reduce or boost bits of vocals useing just an up down cursor and normalisation...oh how i wish i could do this in thenew fab bb tracks view...its a way better way to balance bits of track and then just glue to finish...and obviates the need to use comp lim plugins which can sometimes create side effects. I really hope pg realise that the new fab tracks view done right viz editing could slay the market. i wouldnt need any other app then. i agree keep f5 for roughing things out. and implement the feature ive described above for detailed track balancing...imho you cant beat seeing all the track clip waveforms. makes balancing the bits of a track way way easier cos the waveform changes viz other waveforms...imho....than vol auto fiddling around. happiness. om 🇨🇦 🇬🇧
HI, greetings from Brasil. Choro music should indeed deserve some attention from PG Music. This an example, "Receita de samba", composed by Jacob do Bandolim, one of the great players in choro.
Hi all, This minor blues is sung by Hayden (Synthesizer v). https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/charlines-blues Hey Charline, what is wrong with you Why are you feeling blue I prefer when you start singing And all is brightening Even if you’re not miss Joplin Think to her, you will grin Your voice will send under your skin A dose of endorphin Even if I’m not Jimmy Page Please, come with me on stage There, for sure, you will drown the pain Which invades all your brain If something disturbs your spirit Your song will expell it Tell yourself when they hear your voice People really rejoice Even if you’re not miss Joplin Think to her, you will grin Your voice will send under your skin A dose of endorphin RD BossaBrushes RT 713 Acoustic Bass RT 573 Electric Guitar RT 626 Harmonica RT 1648 Solo Acoustic Guitar
Hi, Ronnie. Excellent work, as always. Toe-tapping goodness. I used to have a Variax, but it was always a hassle to set up. I sold it to a friend, who gigged the heck out of it.
This has been a most illuminating thread. I read the whole thing. Thank you. So I'm not trying to hijack the thread, but instead I want to approach the question from the other side -- that of the potential infringer. Over the years, I've played in, and recorded several original bands. Most of the songs were written by bandmates. I have the recordings. They are usually the first recordings. I'm not trying to make money from releasing these songs, but I would like to make it possible for people to hear them, mainly friends and family. I know that I own the rights to the recordings and production. Most of these songs were written in the 90s and are unpublished and unregistered works. Most have been performed live. I've lost touch with most of the songwriters. Spotify makes it easy for songwriters and publishers to collect their royalties for streams. I'd love to do that. Searches for copyrights on Google, easysong, and with the Harry Fox Agency turn up nothing for my recording. I have several questions. (1) What risk am I taking if I publish these works on SoundCloud and post links on facebook? (2) Should I copyright these recordings? (3) Any other related issues I should think about? So all songwriters here who recorded their unpublished works with bands, please copyright your works so it's easier for us amatuer producers to get our recordings out there without infringing.
"easy way to change the order of the tracks in the mixer" That would be a nice feature. Not only for a mixer, but naturally for new Track View as well.
Have you tried this page to see if there is a similar one available for Kurzweil? https://www.pgmusic.com/support_miscellaneous.htm Since PT uses Patches.ini and you are here, wondering why you want to go to a .PAT file?
This includes a fix to Studio One 6.6 GUI and authorization problems with Scaler2. I've had problems in the past installing the latest update on Windows, unless you temporarily turn off Windows defender.
Well done. Did not know the original, so had a listen to that, too. A good cover. fj
Thank you, Floyd, especially for taking twice the time to also listen to the original song. Much appreciated. Of course, it helps a lot if you have a great original to start with
Maybe I just have a sick sense of humor, but I laughed so hard all the way through this that my fat ol' belly was jiggling! Unique song and funny video ... and great sounding bass. Brad
Hi Brad, yes, I think you have a that. Like we. But I gave it some message, along with the fun; Obese is a problem and our food and drinks help to let that problem grow. In my country we have a suggar tax on drinks with sugar in it. I don't know if other countries have it too. Ooh, Belgium too. It doesn't help much, I think. I also let that fat guy overcome his shame. That's a good thing too, I hope. It was Marty's granddaughter (12 yrs) who asked Marty if that man (me) was making jokes on fat people, because she has fat friends to. That's where I changed the lyrics in overcoming the shame. Good thinking of her! And Marty had a lot of fun, while playing the bass. And good too!

Hi Mario, you're always on my party. Well, more to come soon! I am happy you enjoyed the video too. It is always a challenge to make them. Marty does 3 videos a week, I think. I can't. I hope we can do something about it, as I wrote to Brad, taxing those companies so to force them offering more healthy food. I know, healthy food is not fun to eat. We eat vegan meat 4 times a week. I can't say I like it all, but less meat can help on many frontiers. But here we are only for the music. Glad you like it!!!

But from what I've heard from fat people who get told this, this particular message is rarely helpful. Still, nicely done. And yes, even the bass.
Hi David, thanks for the compliments on the song from a musical standpoint. But IM(H)O you missed a point in my song. I don't have the message you wrote I had. Look what I wrote to Brad and Mario. My points are; being fat gives a lot of problems you can't overcome easily. Shame is one of them. But it's good if you overcome that. And we also need to think about how to solve the convenience of getting fat fast food. Taxes are one of them, but these companies must have their own responsibility. Not just the big wallet. But I know that won't be easy. But health problems that arise from this also cost a lot of money. Thanks for watching and listening, Hans

Hi Marty. This sounds really great. I love the writing, the arrangement and the production. Your lyrics are excellent. The standout for me was Verse 2 where you said...
Quote
Everything we try seems another way to prove we lost the love we found. We should hear our song is changing, and rewrite it to a fade. We tried our best and failed. Our love boat simply sailed. Our course is clearly laid.
When you sang, "we lost the love we found" it really hit home. Those words were very powerful and they setup the last line of the verse so that it really resonated and made me think a lot. Musicianship sparkles everywhere in this creation. --Noel
WOW, thanks, Noel. Really appreciate your depth and wonderful comment.

Cool vocal - though perhaps a little too far back in the mix. Ace steel. Another classic Martypiece from the fecund furry. I enjoyed it heaps.
HAHA. Thanks, Ray. Love your gift of gab-- your turn of a phrase-- your eloquent form of comunication. It's funny how we're always telling each other to turn up vocals.

The pedal steel sounds great And that cool vid that must’ve taken quite a bit of time. Enjoyed it! J&B
Thanks, J&B. I'm more of a sophist. If someone gets overly positive, I'll throw some negatives at them. hehe Curating stills from CoPiot is much more rewarding than trying to find the right video on pexels or pixabay.

Thank you, floyd. Like lyrics, I'm not sure where that accordion idea came from, but I needed something different for those parts, and it worked nicely.
Like the custom tab in BiaB +1 Many of the icons are already under tabs like the window views. Many others could be placed under a tab and then many could be eliminated so that the icon area at the top does not take up 25% of the screen real estate. Clean this up and RB would look far better and more space available for the tracks and such.
I just double clicked on the downloaded installer file and it installed ok, it was several steps but all automatic, and I was on-line. But Audacity needs to be 3.5.0 (I had 3.5.1 and had to find the older version). But now it works.

Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
