I am asking for a simple solution to a problem that's been driving me nuts ever since I joined the Forum: Not being able to find the tune on the page you post it. Frequently, the title/link is plain text secreted inside other descriptive text like this: My Song. And then more text. It would help greatly if the song title (link) were set apart and made obvious like this:
..................................My Song
This is very easy to do using the controls at the top of the text box. Of course, plenty of members do this already. The more that do, the more I and other members similarly encumbered will be able to listen. And, you can be sure it will be appreciated.
Some users already do this, but for other users who just post their song in a link, here's how, (1) just select all the text of the hyper link (or better still just the song name), and then (2)use the Adjust Font Size button. (3) Optionally select again and use the Bold button.
BIAB & RB2026 Win.(Audiophile), Windows 10 Pro & Windows 11, Cakewalk Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Session Keys Grand S & Electric R, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M, Pioneer Active Monitors.
Indicate which tracks were recorded by you, and which tracks were generated by Band-in-a-Box or RealBand. please provide information as to which styles or RealTracks were used. (tip: In Band-in-a-Box, the Song Memo contains the names of the RealTracks used, and you can copy/paste from that.)
I often discover a new RT in someone's song in this way.
I'm sorry you didn't find the link to my last post. But it's on top of the page and it's bold and blue and there is a free line under it. Here it is again in bigger print:
Ich schätze, was du getan hast. Was Sie sagen, ist wahr. Ich bin sicher, dass ein normal sehende Person den Link in der kürzest möglichen Zeit finden konnte. Aber 22 Augenoperationen (einschließlich einer Hornhauttransplantation und das Einsetzen von Kunststoffrohren, um den Augeninnendruck zu entlasten, bereits genug Schaden von selbst getan haben). Und ich habe immer noch außer Kontrolle geratenen Glaukom. Mein Blickfeld ist eng, verzerrt und durch zahlreiche blinde Bereiche beschädigt. Fahren ist einfach nicht in Frage. So dass jede Hilfe wird sehr geschätzt. Danke mein Freund. Und jetzt kann ich gehen und ich kann Ihre Musik hören!
Thanks for the reminder about the RealTracks. I plead guilty to not being among the majority that meticulously lists all the details about their BIAB assistance. With the exception of a rare RT solo that I slice-and-dice into the shape that I like, I use only RealDrums and list myself as "other instruments."
But your point is well taken and, in future, I'll include specific citations by number and RT artist. I should add that the RealDrums could be the greatest percussion event since possibly the Big Bang. You can edit these too and extract all sorts of fills, hits, etc. that would take forever using, say, EZ Drummer, which is undeniably a great program - but not cheap when you include the separate "jazz package."
Still, you can't beat PG's real drummers, especially (in jazz) the Canadian drummers Terry Clarke and Craig Scott. Terry is unsurpassed by any drummer I've ever heard. And he doesn't hold back like some other RT artists who are more concerned with keeping their best licks a secret. I won't name names.
Neil Swainson, the Canadian bassist, and pianist Mile Black, like Terry, are absolutely world class and give everything they've got. I never liked the idea of citing these tremendous musicians as mere numbers. Now I'll include both name and number.
My response wasn't aimed at you mate, or the vast majority of posters. Just a gentle reminder for the few.
I listen to all tracks but only comment on the ones that "blew my socks off". I always remove my socks first before I listen to your playing by the way I learn from every song posted.
The variety of music styles on here is amazing and speaks reams for the inventiveness and vision of the Gannons and BIAB. Without that programme I wouldn't be gibson, with gibsonology, I would just be little ole me strumming on my piano or guitar and having to do covers when I used to play live
I've made it my habit to at least make the word that serves as the link displayed in bright red, and more often than not in high caps to boot. Hopefully that's been distinctive enough, but if not, just be blunt and tell me off for it
