He said he imported chords & audio (separately?) I assume the two didn't match originally and he is trying to fix that. Exactly. Yet another scenario where RB is better for that ... I have never used RB before, but if it can do that easily, I will certainly use it. Goal: 1: Import chords via .musicxml 2: Import audio 3: Listen 4: Add chord 5: Goto 3 until all missing chords are added 6: Save the result for use in BIAB

Hi Mick, Love the feel happening on this one, great groove, love your vocal too. I agree with the other comments about the accordion, all the other instrumentation sounds good though. Good song, enjoyed.

It's a beautiful song. Great accompaniment and very well sung. Laurent Appreciate that Laurent! I think Floyd put it best: This is _really_ good handmade music. I think what you guys are doing here is great! And Chris? Goosebumps! Yeah, even after working with Chris for 10 years she still blows me away! Thanks, Brain! Hi Dave. What a great listen. Chris's singing is superb, Marty's bass is perfect and your guitar work is awesome. Moreover, this melody and these lyrics are truly inspired writing. I love everything about this. I thoroughly enjoyed listening. --Noel Thanks, Noel!

I thought of Billy Joel's "Baby Grand" song when I wrote this blues song. I don't consider myself a blues singer, but it was fun to write and record. I'm singing and playing guitar and BIAB does the rest. Some people think that all my songs are about me....and I tell them that they're not. Sometimes, I just make them up. But, I think this song is a true representation of how I feel. Music is always with me..........a part of me. ME AND MY GUITAR, THROUGH GOOD TIMES OR BAD ALWAYS SEEMS TO GIVE ME PEACE OF MIND DAY OR NIGHT, RAIN OR SHINE...ALWAYS I KEEP THAT BABY WITH ME ALL THIS TIME WHEN I'M FEELING DOWN, I PICK HER UP KNOWN HER LONGER THAT ALL THE WOMEN I'VE EVER KNOWN TOGETHER WE'LL WRITE A SONG THAT'S NEVER BEEN A SONG I CAN CALL MY VERY OWN ME AND MY GUITAR, WE STAY TOGETHER LOVED IT SINCE THE FIRST TIME THAT WE MET FELT GOOD IN MY HANDS, SOUNDED SO GOOD AS A FRIEND, IT'S AS GOOD AS YOU CAN GET WE'LL SPEND A LAZY AFTERNOON, AND WHILE AWAY THE TIME OR REMINISCE ON SONGS I'VE LEARNED ALONG THE WAY WHEN I PLAY 'EM, IT'S LIKE MAGIC, THEY TAKE ME BACK IN TIME AND BRING BACK MEMORIES FROM ALL MY YESTERDAYS FINGERS ON THE FRETBOARD, MUSIC ON MY MIND WRITING SONGS ABOUT LIVING ALL THESE YEARS MAYBE FOLKS WILL LIKE 'EM.. I DON'T KNOW IT DOESN'T MATTER, THEY SOUND GOOD TO MY EARS SO ME AND MY GUITAR, WANDERING THROUGH THIS LIFE A LITTLE BEAT UP AND GETTING KIND OF OLD FRIENDS COME AND GO, THINGS ALWAYS CHANGE BUT WE STAY TOGETHER GOING DOWN THE ROAD ****** Song Summary ************* Title: ME AND MY GUITAR File:ME AND MY GUITAR.SGU Key=E , Tempo 70, Length (m:s)=3:46 4 bar intro, 58 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 62.

Thanks. Vic: I was the front of house sound engineer for the The Dubliners, when they had a concert in Helsinki, Finland. One of the band had drunk too much strong Finnish beer and I had to keep his mic down - only put him into his floor monitor for him. Still they sounded good and could play their sets without no one noticing anything special in the audience - despite that one new comer of the band who hardle could stand on his stool. Great guys all. Real Irish spelmen.

To change the base pitch of the output, it's necessary to use a third-party plugin on the Master track. Biab does not have the ability to change concert pitch.

The OP asked for suggestions for equipment and suggestions to play backing tracks. He got lots of ideas. Is anyone arguing? I’ve performed with backing tracks, recordings and devices of all kinds since 1965. At one point that included laptop computers running my string section writing in BIAB. Now it’s a Tascam Wave/MP3/Flac player with built-in Bluetooth.

This is a beautiful song and the lyrics are excellent. Wonderful imagery. Thanks, Chay! I do feel a little stupid, as it took me a while to appreciate the full depth of the lyrics. The imagery is quite nice and oddly relatable (to me). Hi Ron, Well, I think all the compliments above are well deserved. You have a unique way of singing, with little pauses between the lines and a very beautiful pronunciation of the words. The melody is beautiful, the lyrics are fantastic, as is your voice. I do agree with Dave, you use more reverb than usual. Not bad at all, but be careful... You asked if we could reflect on that bridge together. The first time I heard the song, I looked up in surprise. That's where your bridge begins. That means something unexpected happened (for me). I think that's where your struggle begins. It's the lyrics. Not the content, but too many (complicated) words in too short a time. That gave that bridge something awkward. I listened to the song a few more times. Then it sounded more normal. I got used to it. But I'm curious if you recognize whether this could be it. Hans Thank you, Hans. Yes, the "artificial/beneficial" couplet, and the embedded internal rhyme of "environment" with the previous lines' "shin splints/suspense" is what crossed me up. I always try to give the internal rhymes a bit of space, but had trouble here because there was SO much else going on. I'm mostly at peace with the decisions I made here. But not completely.  Glad you enjoyed the tune!

Ciao a tutti! Mi chiamo Fiorenzo e da oltre vent'anni utilizzo Band-in-a-Box sia per la composizione che per la didattica. Negli ultimi mesi ho iniziato a creare contenuti in italiano dedicati a BIAB, con l’obiettivo di rendere questo software più accessibile e di costruire una piccola community italiana dove confrontarsi, imparare e condividere idee. 🎬 Sul mio canale YouTube sto pubblicando tutorial, esempi pratici, workflow, trucchi e spiegazioni passo‑passo pensati per tutti i livelli, dai principianti a chi usa BIAB da tempo. 👥 Abbiamo anche aperto un gruppo Facebook, dove ci scambiamo consigli, arrangiamenti, domande tecniche e risorse utili. È uno spazio amichevole e in crescita, pensato per chi vuole imparare insieme. Se vi fa piacere unirvi alla community o dare un’occhiata ai contenuti, siete i benvenuti. L’obiettivo è crescere insieme e creare finalmente uno spazio italiano dedicato a BIAB. 📌 Link: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGCV4YikmqiqZiDMd2cJSwA Gruppo Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bandinaboxitalia A presto!

Now that multiple views are possible at once, consistency is of the upmost importance. Having the cursor in focus across all views is an example of both consistency and reduced clicks.

When you use the insert/delete bars command, audio tracks will shift accordingly - This is been the behaviour for a few years - prior to that it was considered a bug that insert/delete bars did NOT do that. Perhaps there could be a setting for it. +1 A simple "Freeze" button for audio-tracks would be perfect.

Yes I like your idea, makes sense and I can see its purpose. I would also like more of the basic part markers, such as something obvious to signal a break section for example A song may have a section that's verse/chorus/verse/chorus and then an instrumental unison section for 4 bars that then breaks down to a very simple drum/bass only section, then back to a verse etc... That's it exactly!

Not gonna lie, I’m not a great fan of instrumental music. However, everything about the groove, instrument selection and super clean recording process makes this shine! No words needed, I could feel what you’re putting down! Loved this. Track

Wow, wow wow! What a fantastic memorial tribute. Reminds me of an Early Elvis or Roy Orbison song. Production is so goooood! Sorry for your loss, but expressing it in song so we can also enjoy participating in memory is the ultimate to share. Trax
