Hi, Donny. In a prior post, you asked if you're posting too frequently. You've posted 11 songs this month already, and on one day you posted two different songs. That's a song every other day: Charlie (9/17) Velvet Rewind (9/22) Be till My Fainting Heart (9/24) The Meaning (9/25) My Bad (9/27) Dancing with Destiny (9/29) You said Hello (10/1) I Still Love You (10/5) Wait a minute Babe (10/7) It is what it is (10/8) Shoot the Moon (10/9) Who Knows (10/12) Green Eyes (10/16) Golden Gate Glide (10/16) A Side of Sanctuary (10/17) Tsunami (10/20) Autumn (10/22) In addition, it doesn't look like you're engaging with other people's songs. In your last 40 posts, you've only commented on other people's songs three times. You've noted that with Suno, you can finish a new song in about two hours, by creating a backing track in BiaB and then giving Suno lyrics: ...I use my acoustic guitar to get the flow. Once the idea has started, I work hand in hand with BiaB to write the chords, then I turn to writing the lyrics. Once I have a first cut, I can go to work. Once that is started, I can finish the full production in around 2 hours. That includes a wave file, a Clipchamp video, and the final YouTube video. By your own description, you've created a system for cranking out low-effort songs. It's easy, because: - Suno sings the song
- Suno writes the melody
- Sunu plays all the solos
- Suno creates the arrangement
Am I supposed to compliment you on what a great job Suno did?

Am I supposed to compliment you on what a great job Suno did? You don't need to compliment me on anything, but yea I do write and produce a lot with all tools. I apologize for my productivity; I think I will write another song. Try and have a great day and write on. Thanks for the list, wow. You could try not listening to my Suno or BiaB songs, that way you won't get so bothered by my productivity, or Suno's as you put it. When you see my name, ignore it. There may be a way to block my username, that way you won't be irritated by my busyness. I have 20 of 24 sketch songs written for my next playlist, thank you for letting me know how close I am.

Laurent Thanks, I jot these lyrics down quickly and then ask Suno to make a pre-production sketch. In fact, this thread gives me an idea, I will call it, just walk away. I have 20 of 24 of these sketches, when I get to 24 it will be time to pare down to 12 pickers. Thanks again. Donny

Hi, Donny. I apologize for my productivity; I think I will write another song. And may you have a blessed day, too. There may be a way to block my username, that way you won't be irritated by my busyness. No, that option doesn't exist on this forum. The guidelines state (emphasis added): The User Showcase is an area where users of PG Music products (e.g. Band-in-a-Box or RealBand) can post links to their original song compositions, for others to listen to and comment on. You're posting song after song for other people to listen and comment on. But do you extend the same courtesy to others? From what I've seen of your posting history, that doesn't appear to be the case. There are only a limited number of spots for songs on the front page. You've currently got two of those spots. Constantly posting new songs pushes other people off the front page. On top of this, you're actually bragging about how little time it takes to create a song, as if that were a positive metric.

Just click on my username and hit ignore user. That will remove two threads from your screen, and you will never see my stuff again. A win win for you. Also, if you want more threads and posts on your screen, just go to your preference page and change the number from 20 to 99. Donny

A win/win would be for you to be involved with this community you post songs to. You're clearly talented, and care about the music you make. Can't you share that enthusiasm about others here as well? Of your last 100 posts, only 7 have been about other people's songs.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
