Hi Ron. What an excellent listen! I love everything about this... music, lyrics, your singing, the arrangement and the final mix. Everything fits together so perfectly and it's a pleasure to sit back, enjoy and smile. I'm a fan of feel-good songs and this definitely had me feeling good and feeling entertained in a satisfying and pleased way. --Noel

Current status... I downloaded BIAB patch build 1224 today and installed it. I retested the problem I was having and the system now saves and restores the two colors that were a problem. I updated the thread title to reflect this testing.

Current status... I downloaded BIAB patch build 1224 today and installed it. I looked in the folder R:\bb\Drums\FolkPopSlow16thsBrushes and found the text file FolkPopSlow16thsBrushes_60_style.txt which had been missing from this folder prior to the patch. I retested the problem I was having and the demo song now successfully generates the drum part with no errors. I updated the thread title to reflect this testing.

Hi Andrew. This is a super sound. I love the topic, and the lyrics fit really well with the style and the arrangement. As Bob said, this is "edgy". In addition, your vocals and mix are great. I enjoyed listening. --Noel

View those many user videos. I just spent two days figuring it out with Support only to find the problem with the arranger version was User-error. Its all in those videos.

For those of you who were looking for the release of Tonalics Essentials before giving the product a try, check your Melodyne/Celemony account. The license should have populated to your account today.

I would expect it to just be a checkbox setting in the looper properties, not mandatory. Thanks for the repeats suggestion, that is working for me as a stopgap.

No .wav or .flac files? Are those unnecessary? How can I be sure which files are unnecessary, to be deleted?

Hello, Sometimes I need to insert , say, 4 bars to match the song loaded in ACW. I have already imported the song , created the bars, chords, etc. My problem is that I cannot ind the way to insert bars ONLY in the CHORDs. WHen I insert a bar, the audio ile, also creates those bars (silence) in the audio waveform. Any help is appreciated. THanks in advance. Montxo

"but I feel things might be finally moving in the right direction." Lee, you are tough one to please, but I am glad you've appreciated real progress that was made! I will repeat bits of what I've said in another thread: It's great that finally we have VST3, options for Chord Track, single Library and a good progress was made on UI. However, now is the right time for PGM to tighten up a lot of things that relate to workflow. Complete unfinished features, consistency of navigation, zoom, transport, cursor, known bugs etc. So BIAB becomes a fully modular piece of composing software that feels premium. The most productive leap since I started using BIAB was 2025, when PGM created and curated several pinned topics on UI in wishlist. They made known that they are open to particular change, gathered focused opinions and it turned out better than expected. Vast majority of people liked new UI. I feel that rather than just throwing ideas into wishlist well, PGM has to step up and set the tone for 2027 release, just as it did in 2025 (for 2026).

Janne, a fantastic song about a very important topic, protecting the earth. Before my wife had her accident we used to walk a lot. Nothing upsets me more than to be on a nature trail and see liter, i.e. cans, bottles, cigarette packages and butts, etc. An excellent production. Thanks Mario for your lovely feedback  Yep, the most pleasant places in nature are those where there are no signs of human activity. Janne

Amazing dance band that brings joy to every face - and lightness to the wallet. Great to see you guys play in the Live Ai concert, just wondering why the bass player needs five different instruments during one song  Excellent arrangement, those horns sound really funky, the live feel is well present. Great vocals, and very pleasant harmonies. And I surely enjoyed the sonic charm and the skills of all the players, Dave's solo is so hot that the smoke alarm must have had trouble holding back its scream. If I could ask for something, the bass solo would have been much longer  Janne

Cute little ditty, Mario. Washboard & squeeze box. The only thing missing is a juice harp. I like it! Thanx Paul, I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment on my little ditty. Yes a jaw harp would have been a good addition. I'll try to remember that if/when I do another "porch orchestra"! Mario, the lyrics are very tasty and the retro feel of the accompaniment is great. Laurent Thanx so much Laurent. I had fun with those lyrics.

A pleasant pop song, what else to expect That chord progression leaves a luscious aftertaste - you surely know how to keep it interesting - and you surely know that I love maj7ths The melody is beautiful and the lead vocalist brings out its nuances nicely (although his breathiness sounds bit harsh). The arrangement & mix is mellow but not too sweet, the bass and the drums add the needed punch. And I like how all the instruments sound equal and let the song shine. Nice hopeful message. Janne

One easy fix would be to close the program and delete the file MySetup.dk from the bb\Preferences folder Considering improvements and reducing potential frustration for users, could this become an automated process when these conditions occur? That would scare me a bit, and it would have to pause to allow you to save your existing settings (unless it automated that, too). How about a compromise: add a menu option to do this 'complete' reset, within Preferences, Return to Factory Settings? Have that option remove all the files that need to be handled to accomplish a 'complete' reset. Then add a prompt in a yellow message box that strongly suggests taking the action, when warranted. Something like that would still give us control and avoid the instructions that are sometimes given that require users to navigate and delete files. I went for many years never having to do Return to Factory Settings. Then certain years, I had to do it frequently. I suppose that's OK, and even I as a programmer appreciate having a menu option to do that. But I have to wonder when someone asks in the forum about a problem and the answer is that they have to find then delete files. That could seem unnecessarily hazardous to many users, I think.

Love that sidestick beat. You two are by far my favorite band (well, tied with Janice, Bud & Peter). This song has such a contagious feel. It controls my body. Of course, your guitar work is brilliant --heck the whole song is brilliant. And Chris is an outstanding collaborator --and boy she can sing. Love everything you do, you two.
