Hello
I am trying to find out how to post a song.
Does the song have to be country like old style or can I post modern stuff.
I have listened to a lot of the songs posted in fact a lot...
no offence but it seems like a time warp.
just don't want to offend anyone so just checking l.o.l.

Joe,
The main criteria for posting songs are...
1. The work must either be your own original work or in the public domain. (Copyrighted songs are not permitted unless you hold a licence to record and publish them.)
2. All styles are welcome in the Users Showcase forum, modern or not-so modern.
I look forward to hearing your work.
Regards,
Noel

Hi Joe,
Yeah, I've written a few songs. If you're interested in hearing one of more of them, they can be found via the "Audios on Soundcloud" link in my signature at the end of this post.
Thanks for asking!
All the best,
Noel
P.S. The songs are all created with BIAB/RB.

I have already enjoyed your music ..yes the songs you've posted.
But not everyone ..on here has even got close to my meagre expectations..so I will go ..the thing is the way this forum is going it will bury b.i.a.b. because there is no new input ..coming ..the the software is trying ..but the forum is dying. My Regards Noel you know what I am saying ..absolutely ..unforgivable to new members ..so go on shoot me pg music and then shoot yourself pg sadly you have an expiry date ..and its looming if you don't take action soon ..you need a new clientele .,.,.and your forum needs to accept that ..or else ..you are history ..you need young blood..so go and banish me to the end of your earth.. I don't give a .....

no offence but it seems like a time warp. You are not wrong in that observation!  When I was first considering BIAB a few years ago I was put off by the prominence of what I view as old music...lots of jazz and lots of old country seemed to dominate the showcase. And even today the amount of older styles in the RealStyles is not really what one would expect to see in a modern product (unless it is specifically targetted as a classic genre product). I mean, classic surf tracks for 2017??? One reason for this is probably how many older musicians use BIAB. And while there have been real improvements lately, one look at the GUI tells you this ain't your grandkid's DAW! I have no idea what the demographics for BIAB are overall but I don't think I am wrong to note this forum group tends to be more "seasoned citizens"! With that all said I would LOVE to hear some modern music show up in the showcase! I believe it is possible to create with BIAB and I bet lots of folks around here would love to hear what you are coming up with!!

Not your thin midi stuff but some great RTs (Brent Mason on guitar for example)in BB now that are Brill to use in Surf. I'm a Brit so this is not my "Birth Music" lol but I'm loving it. Having been to Australia this year and found the Surf Rock scene to be VERY vibrant, these tracks are just what I needed. Horses for courses, I guess. Cheers ian

JJJ, FWIW I wouldn't use the User Showcase as the measuring stick. The top 3 posters here on the forum are Mac, myself and Matt. Not likely to find much from any of us in the User Showcase unless it was done 'just for fun'. An example of a seasoned pro and long time BiaB user: http://www.itrstudio.com/staff/harvey-gersthe's a big time guy, as was limey .. but I can't find any sign of limey on the forums now.:( Many cool things have been done in PGMusic software that can't be shared. I know I can't post things I've done in RB that I'd love to share, but I can't. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. /Harvey appears to have been online here in the forums recently, so for that I am thankful. Glad he's still around. I still love the part on his page linked above .. "and many other famous dead people" .. sadly I can relate, though I'll always be 12 years(or so) behind him .

The surf tracks are outstanding. But the OP was addressing the dated feel to some of the music created with BIAB and I just used that as an example. If you are creating old surf music or retro surf music these probably work beautifully!

Yeah I was kinda responding to the OP's assessment after he looked at the showcase. I understand why some folks do not post their work here but it would sure be great to hear some modern music that was created with BIAB! I can see it is quite easy to build a backing track for a 70s era rock song or a classic bluegrass tune...BIAB just totally excels at this! But more modern music does not seem to be so easy with BIAB. I looked at the Harvey Gerst website you linked but found no mention of BIAB or anything like that...it seemed like a strictly traditional small recording studio.

))) But more modern music does not seem to be so easy with BIAB
It isn't clear from your posts if you've tried to make "modern music" with BIAB or not. There are lots of styles of modern music, so you'd need to let us know what specific style and artist you are talking about. BIAB has hip hop, soul, techno, dubstep, as well as the timeless styles like pop ballad that are also modern. But I'm guessing you have something different in mind.
Have Fun!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
