BB has more than a few ideas all it's own. It calls things in what could be considered by some to be non standard terms. Questions have to be ask for some one new to figure it out. BB will never be construed as intuitive, but when in Rome... At some point I guess everyone just understands "it is what it is". Confusing yes, perplexing yes, bewildering perhaps. It is a very useful piece of software that takes a bit of time to understand and even longer to find the many many ways it can be used. We should have been prepaired for this, we were told... "There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, makes me wonder" Cheers M8 Billy

It is easy to become fearful and irritated by new ways of doing things. I think the older we get the more change becomes uncomfortable. There is good reason to fear some techonology, atomic weapons come to mind. AI has some issues. Can AI kill off all the humans? Perhaps. Is that a big deal or any great loss? Likely not. We are most likely much less important than we would like to believe. We will be able to play and create music fora long time into the future. We will also find it harder to monatize and collect on those efforts as time goes by. AI will play and create music and at some point will be most likely be indistinguishable from human made music. Many of us have concerns about ethical issues but I fear we are in the minority. Good, bad, right, wrong and ethical issues tend to disapear as distance from shore increases...lol Riders On The Storm ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/FsgnNa1.jpg) Cheers Billy

That is epic in scope ... the composition, the arrangement and the mix. It sets up a great soundstage on our monitors. All the instrumentation is standout but the organ is exceptional. Stadium filling! J&B

I played the source files for that RealTrack and it has a lot of reverb. This is why Direct Input only guitars are the way to go as you can add any FX you like to them, and rather than having 2 versions that take up more hard drive space, as down the track PG will have a lot of RealTracks.

Thanks again. There is debate what is a chord, but some say, that for example G6 and D9 aren't new chords, just variations of the same chord. I found a lot of two chord songs. Here is one list: https://www.guitarbased.com/2-chord-songs/

There seems to be a lot of interest in K-Pop in the US. The music reminds me a lot of the music put out by US boy bands of the eighties and nineties. Groups like New Kids on the Block and NSync recorded a lot of well crafted and produced hit pop songs. The K-Pop bands are presenting pop songs that are just as good today. J-Pop (Japan Pop) is another genre that is gaining traction in the US. You make a really interesting comparison of KPOP to boy bands from the 80s and 90s. I can totally hear the similarities now that you mention it. A lot of those older American boy bands also had intricate dance routines and concepts around their image. And the high quality of the songs is consistent between them. It's cool to see how KPOP is carrying on that tradition with their own unique creative flair. I'll have to check out some JPOP too since you mentioned it's become popular as well.

yes. I always do "play key" So that I we all know what my real key is. I have used it for special instructions such as '* 8 Bar intro', not the default 4 we usually use. I haven't used copywrite since it's at the bottom of the page. and it when you read it, it may be too late

Howdy laurent.... Thank you very much for taking the time to give them a listen and kind comments. All my drivel is pretty much "rhythm and energy", upbeat and much of it danceable. Have I ever said...:"this song writing stuff isn't easy". Much appreciated. Hope all is well.

Alan, I know you're a smart guy, so I'm assuming you've got anti-virus software. So do you know how the hack happened? And is there a reason you're posting this to the Showcase instead of another forum such as Off - Topic?

I know I had to take the same approach with Reaper calling on BBW using AutoHotkey scripts that I ran from a Lua script in Reaper to access Biab functions then I could write the data to clipboard to send to Biab and copy to send back to Reaper. reaper.ExecProcess([[cmd.exe /C " cd ]] .. [[C:\\Program Files\\AutoHotkey & AutoHotkey.exe]]..[[ "]]..script_path..[[ahk\scripts\play.ahk"]],0)
reaper.CF_SetClipboard( start_measures ..",".. number_measures )
text_tempo = reaper.CF_GetClipboard()
that was all a lot of messing around so I just put it all in one script to read the current frozen SGU and transfer instantly. Why have a hidden Biab running in the background when you can run the main Biab app and instantly transfer giving a lot more control ? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default_dark/lightbulb.gif) But eventually I can't see any other way than a self-contained crossplatform JUCE plugin that does it all, and works the same instantly in all DAWs. It just takes way too many years getting there, I'm gettin' old  ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=27754&filename=BB24-Transfer-Track-Reaper.gif)

The lead and harmony vocals well represent the quick progress you are making with this technology. The whole thought of programming that and creating all the nuances makes our heads spin! The acoustic sounds excellent as does the entire mix. The helds are very nice. Well done! J&B J&B...thanks...it's time consuming for sure but fun so far...Dan Very nice Dan! Great Praise and Worship tune! Thanks David...I appreciate it...Dan

One reason this is best done in the DAW is that BiaB has a particular protocol for handilng its tracks due to the way styles are created. once you get the results you want then move to DAW of choice. Thanks Rob! That's what I'll do. Have a nice day!

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."
