I agree with the comment about your vocal level. I didn't find this one as interesting as your usual contributions--perhaps this type of song itself doesn't lend itself to much more arranging/personalization as your other work.

Beautiful, Christian. You have an exceptional skill at capturing the style with all the other elements: lyric, message, voice, melody, etc. I really enjoyed this!

Tried it. Same result regarding the Wav instructions, which were supposed to improve track generation speed. They’re still out of sync. If it’s about generating real Wav files (in the Saved Tracks folder), then there’s no problem. But in that case, what’s the point of using the Plugin?

If you're using the "Stem Splitter Player" the stems are automatically saved on the same folder as the original file. If you leave the project without saving the files are left there, so you have to be careful when using this if you don't want to end up with a bunch of residual wav files lost on your hard drive. It would be great if the user were asked, or if, at the very least, the files were deleted when closing the program without saving the project, which is the standard behaviour in most programs and what most users would expect.

It would help auditing styles if there was a "Mute/Solo" button for each track in the mini track view of the Multi Picker. The same way as in the ordinary Track view and the Mixer (and at the same time get rid of the dark green color so the text becomes visible) It is very hard to understand why it should be different and not available in the miniTrack view. Yes I can go down two levels of menues and select mute for each track (very time consuming) and it also mentions a shortcut Alt4 but that does not work. It is very time consuming as it is to try to find something using the picker and the "Mute/Solo" to toggle in/out instruments for a style is very useful when listening to a style.

Open the mixer window and right click on the master button. There you can select "Save current mix as default" and also "Load default mix". I'm not aware of any button or short cut to these functions. Hope that is, what you were looking for.

Hey Torrey, Nicely done mate. Well sung and produced. I couldn’t agree with you more that good songs (chart songs) are few and far between these days. It’s like the stream and download generation has sucked the lifeblood and originality out of the current music scene. But hey, your song is original and genuine. I really enjoyed my listen. Kind regards.

A very reasonable suggestion. If there were several different pre-made color format layouts available, the user could quickly select one that suits their needs best.

Here is one for you computer pros. If one copies the entire BB folder to a new machine then installs over it the latest BiaB/RB programs, not the data, will the new install put in the registry stuff so BiaB/RB will work? Mario, As far as I know, other than registering the PG Music fonts neither Band-in-a-Box nor RealBand have entries in the Windows registry. That is the main reason they are installed under the installation drive letter instead of under a Program Files folder. That's why you can use an external drive without having to install the program first.

Dan is right (he usually is) about what I consider the power of inertia. Since we started in an era of very few styles, we just kept doing it ourselves. However, I was one of Bob 'Notes' Norton's first customers, after reading his ad in Recording Magazine. I have on occasion ordered from him when there was a song I had to learn in a hurry (usually a request for a wedding). The rest of my secrets, I ain't saying ...

Hi Peter, There are two different setups when it comes to mod wheel and pitch bend. From my experience the two wheel setup, one for modulation and the other for pitch bend, is the most common. However Korg and some others use a joystick when north and south is the modulation and east and west is the pitch bend. When using a joy stick it has to be centered as the pitch bend can go up and down, that is from -8k to +8k, while the modulation does not have to be centered and goes from o to 127 (or 1 to 128 depending on what scale your system uses. Pitch bend can be set from -2 octaves to +2 octaves down to -0.1 semitone to +0.1 semitone depending on your software. So yes you can use your joystick as a mod wheel just that the center point of the joystick is 0 and all the way up is 127, Going south on your joystick will do nothing and there is no negative setting on a mod wheel. I only use the one vibrato setting however if you want to use both the speed and depth you have to set a slider up for each one. Here is an explanation of overblowing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overblowing I only use it on rare occasions. Legato means only playing one note at a time; note that the flute can be set to polyphonic also, I think two notes at a time but I'm not on my music computer so I'm not sure how many notes it can play. If you overlap one note to another and/or use velocity (depending on what SWAM instrument you have) you will get a slur. A glissando is a glide between two notes. This is more effective on notes that are a third or more from each other. I use legato as my main setting sparingly adding overblow, vibrato, growl, etc to add realism. I never use any of the other nuances for the entire song as that is not a realistic thing to do. I hope this helps and good luck.

Thank you B D Thomas, I’ll take oddly, it sits well. I can’t really remember why or how I came up with this theme or what the lyrics were really getting at. It really was just a song about letting go perhaps and not being too serious about anything, certainly no insights. Glad you like it, kind regards.
