It's a matter of learning WHEN to switch to RB from BiaB In my mind, most people (not all) who use BIAB would need 4-12 tracks of accepted normal (*standard) way to record their instrument and / or vocals to complete their projects. If that is done right in BIAB, than perhaps it shouldn't be a question of WHEN, but a question of WHY.

Smooth and classy. I'm imagining men in black ties and women in evening dresses. Excellent tune. The synth vocal fits the genre perfectly. Thanks, Scottt!

A natural for you to do this one, almost sounds like a BD write. Liked the simple but oh so effective video, and the main vocal was perfect. Great job, Bob!

I am just curious to see if any of you are complimenting your music with AI and creating Demo's with it and re-doing it in "Band In A Box" ? Just curious. I have been playing around with SUNO AI, but still writing all my own lyrics, and creating my own chord progressions, and coming up with my own melodies. I start with the guitar, get a rough demo, get that into my computer, add drums, piano, and singing it. Then, I upload it into Suno AI and it gives me a finished demo, that way I can see what changes I can make into whatever style I want my song in. Then I re-create it in "Band In A Box" I have 2025. Then I add other instruments in, mostly me playing taking all the AI out of it. Then I delete it off of the Suno platform so that there is no trace of the output from Suno, that equals no watermark, because I re-created all of the music myself in "band In A Box", and myself playing and singing of course. I do it this way so I can pick a style of music that my song best fits. Let me know if any of you are doing it this way, and if your for or against AI music. I think that this is just a tool of many, like the guitar, piano, keyboard, Autotune, even Band in a box. Let me know what you think and how you all create. I would be interested in your stories. I am just testing the waters here, I.E. the AI tool.

https://on.soundcloud.com/83xwEZQPOOMu0MFjJW Greetings Fellow Tunesmiths: Another jazzy pop ballad for your consideration. Not sure what it's about - I just liked the way the words sounded with the melody. Production info: Style is SUMMER.STY (Summer - Medium-Slow Pop-Jazz Sw) MIDI Style MIDI Instruments are : Acoustic String Bass (33), Acoustic Piano (1), Rock Organ (19), RealTrack Fiddle GypsyJazzBallad (1207) Drum track is EZ Drummer and EZ Bass, EZ Keys and Analog Lab5 play the midi tracks. UJAM Usynth provides a little colour. I do vocals and play a Squire knockoff Tele. There's a road thru the hills ahead There's a path to the sky Absolution flows thru me like a river There's a light in my darkest hour There's a light just for me Absolution flows thru me like a river Had my share Had my highs, had my lows All is clear When the river flows It's a wild and a winding road But a road just the same Absolution flows thru me like a river All comments welcomed, thanks in advance. Mick

So, I've got a track, which started with an imported MIDI file created with Finale and Imported Melody from MIDI File. It's just a 4-measure guitar lick, going into a 5th and 6th measure with a new chord(it's for use in a blues). The file plays using a Hi-Q .mid sound, sounds great, with a blues Style added underneath it. Highlight the track, choose Guitar Window, Track Type: Guitar, etc. Notation with Tablature underneath, top window is guitar neck with notes listed. When I Generate and Play Song, no highlight of notes being played, no moving line to show where we are in the notation while playing the track. Clearly, I want to show the lick being played, hearing it over the rhythm section, and the ability to sight-read along with the notation or tablature, and make that a video to play along with. I'm on my 2nd strike. What to do?

The macOS (Apple) does not want you to be able to record video along with System Audio without going through the microphone. Don't worry, this can be done through a number of 3rd party apps. Some make you jump through a number of hoops and are a PIA but one doesn't. Read on... The one I use is Filmora by Wondershare . Here's the cool part; they don't tell you this but the free version will let you do exactly what you want. Not only that, you can also extract the resulting audio—again for free. If you want all the editing features, yeah that costs but what you want to do doesn't. Download the Mac version and set up an account (even though free, you will need to log in for it to work but you don't have to purchase). Post here when that's done and I'll show you and everyone else how to do it.

A time machine powered by the music of Mario. I like your guitar bits and the sax. Sounds like the real McCoy. I was just thinking the other day about how the school dances and proms had live bands for music. Now it's all DJs. Where have all the bands gone?

We do stuff like that at work on Other peoples computers. I don't want to come home and do it. <grin> Thanks for the nudge. /why yes, yes I am an ex-carpenter with 35 year old wood steps to the deck that could use some attention too // not a safety concern though ... yet

Hi there Blue, I'm glad it comes across as laid back, I wasn’t trying to capture that sense of contentment you get from the taste of a fine coffee. Thank you for your kind words on vocal and video also. Kind regards.
