What are you missing to be able to enjoy the plugin? What would you like to know? It’s quite basic and far from the standalone version — more of a gadget than anything else.

Hi Bob. (not with the same intonation Billy the Kid used back in the day) smile I read up on Gettysburg and wrote a song about it about 15 years ago. Mine was upbeat where yours is more reflective. I liked this version. Stripped to the bone instrumentally. Nothing used that isn't needed. Typically R.S. DEAN. Vic

Some of the first tunes I learned were Duane Eddy's. We named our first proper band after "Detour". A soothing piece and nicely done. Vic

I think that the difference in this case is that largely, the displays that don't follow 'dark mode' options are not graphical (notation, piano roll, audio edit, etc), but more textual (lists, items, results, and more). I don't profess to know the single answer that would satisfy everyone's specific requirements.

Thanks MarioD! I am hoping to record an original this week. I have been recording pretty steadily, though I can't always post it in the forums here (some are just covers). I am busy writing some new original music, but I want to record the material I've already written first. Just not enough time to do it all right now. Thanks for listening!

I suspect that the 32 bit icon was there all the time, and it simply still points to the latest 32 bit executable. I doubt that your 32 bit icon was created by the 2026 installation.

Hi John I wonder if you’re advocating drinking and writing! Nice to hear your vocal on this number. A nice uptempo number with a humorous theme. The title and theme is quite clever, implying that the hole in the doughnut is nothing, so if she leaves she is nothing to you. Good job John, kind regards.

Re: YOU'RE A BABY AND WONDERFUL Knee Wobbler Yesterday at 10:45 PM Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Hi there Sol The song’s sentiment really resonates with me. I have two wonderful children and two beautiful grand daughters, the youngest being 5 months old. I love babies at that age, as you say they are so pure and unspoilt at that age, free of any influence from the outside world. They look at you and grin, and that grin is as pure and genuine as anything you can experience, it’s untainted. I did a fast forward sixty years on my life from that baby stage whilst I listen to your song, and look at all the baggage I’ve accumulated both external and internal and started to well up. All the above aside, your song also captured that innocence and purity, in presentation, style and lyrically. I really enjoyed my listen…thank you. Kind regards.

I’m looking out at snow that is paralyzing the Mid-Hudson Valley of New York and remembering this would have been called a little dusting where I grew up in the Adirondacks. About playing the trumpet in the cold, this is why there are so many people who USED to play trumpet. I frequently wonder what they know that I don’t.

Re: Removing wow and flutter Matt Finley Yesterday at 10:06 PM Forum: Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I can see why a tool to remove wow and flutter would be expensive. Not only is there infrequent demand at this time. but also the computational requirement would be substantial. It’s not like finding one thing to filter out digitally. A tape deck out of adjustment produces a constantly changing effect on the recording. Dan alluded to this by the end of the track being less problematic. Thanks for the walk back in time.

Re: BIAB In A Time Machine. AudioTrack Yesterday at 09:32 PM Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows
Yes, agreed. The Help system needs a major overhaul. There are topics that include 2004 New Features, Version 7 and Version 9 new features and more. They aren't new features any more. Many have probably been superseded, e.g. discussions on a 16 bit and 32 bit version.

Hi KW. Thanks for dropping in. In the end, this song turned out much better than I had hoped. Once I started working on it with a female vocal, new ideas came to mind that opened a few more doors of creativity. On reflection, I think that Synth V provided a springboard for me to finally get this song across the finish line. Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate it. --Noel
