I haven't used any of RealBand's PG effects for quite a while, but when I tried to do so recently, the effects are there (PG Dynamics, Peak Limit, reverb etc) but there are no presets available. How can I reload the presets or are they not available in RB2025? Thanks in advance, Mike

The advice I often see here and elsewhere is that, if my other digital audio programs run fine on a particular computer, BIAB should, too. I've written elsewhere that I don't think this advice applies as well now. Two years ago, when the speed of BIAB's regenerating was remarkably shortened, it increased the need for more cores and a faster processor. I have read the minimum requirements and, while they work, you may not be happy with it. You mention distortion and RealTracks so you are aware this can be a challenge. There are settings within BIAB to lessen the load, and threads here with these tips. One is that the more you convert RealTracks to audio, the less stress on your computer. There is more to it. There is always more. But if you are buying, put your money into this order: CPU, RAM, SSD storage for the RealTracks. Graphics are not important for BIAB (now, at least).

In my experience, be careful with 3.5 or 4mm cables of any useful length. A cheap one may add unintended noise Also, if doing that, I'd probably lean toward the Tascam vs Peavey, but that's just me. YMMV You also make a good point. I should pay attention to cable quality. And I agree with favoring the Tascam, that interface is built like a brick, very little plastic. The Peavey is also solid but will be the backup.

Thanx so much. I don't remember having to do that in Studio One Pro but it has been awhile since I added any drums. The Re-index presets worked. I really appreciated your help on this problem. Thanx again.

Mario, cool, laid-back tune in a style we don't hear much here. Nice playing on your real and virtual instruments. Very nice guitar tone, too. That's quite a vibrato(?) on the held flute notes from about 1:33 on! Like how you built the arrangement and ended big with the guitar. That never gets old.

what happens if you open the BIAB file in RealBand and then export to your DAW? it will take 30 seconds to try and might solve the problem

This sounds GREAT, B.D.! Gorgeous use of space and dynamics. Really like the nuances you've created for the vocalist. I don't know anything about modern vocalists, but she reminds me of Billie Eilish, who I only know because I look up her music on YouTube every time she wins an award. Which is a LOT it seems... I'm a big fan of Billie's music, or more specifically, of what her brother contributes to her music. He's a genius. She's a good singer, though Overall, this is a SUPER cool sound, but it certainly doesn't play to the strengths of BiaB, at least how I use it. Great job playing and/or programming all the elements of the band. They play SO nice together, and the effect is hypnotic. Very funny write up, too. Hard to be self-deprecating about your parts when they sound this nice though.  Don't get me wrong, the sound of the tracks I play myself isn't THAT bad, but on average I need a zillion takes to play something that you guys can do in one or two takes. Thank you for your kind comment, Ron ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

The singing is particularly well done, and the variations give the song a great rhythm. The video is also well-produced. It's a beautiful piece of work. Laurent Merci beaucoup, Laurent. I'm glad to hear that you like it

Hi BD, I'm very late to the party with this one. I'm really glad that I didn't miss it. This is OUTSTANDING. You really have the knack for writing highly engaging songs wrapped up in a super-duper musical production. This topic is tough, really tough. The fact that you could work with it and create something so superbly powerful is a testament to your well-honed songwriting and song production skills. I found this very impressive listening! --Noel It's always a pleasure to read your lovely comments, Noel. Thank you very much

Hi Esa! I’ve never heard this song before - and it’s gorgeous! I went to YouTube to listen to other versions, and must say you’ve done a mighty fine job at interpreting this classic! I love the two guitar solos at the end. Well done for taking on the vocal challenges that the melody provides. A couple of comments about the original - I love the use of ‘line cliche’ in the first few bars - if that’s what it’s called - where one note of the chord voicing drops a semitone at a time; and the key change switch to minor iii in the B section. Thanks again for reviving another song - this one is going to be a favourite of mine. Andrew

The soothing flow of the music and dulcet tones of the singer combine to present the listener with a message that is gentle yet powerful. You blend composition, melody and philosophy very well indeed.

Top shelf. The mix is terrific. Well balanced. The vocal is great and sits where it should, guitar too. Way to go! Thanks, Scott! Hi, Dave. Nice, wide mix. I love how the intro brings the instruments in. Of course, from that point it only get better. Vocals, guitar, everything - sounds great! Are you bouncing that piano from side to side?  So good! Thanks, David! Piano is in the middle, but it has tremolo and a fair bit of reverb on it, gives it some movement  Guitar, bass, drums, vocals, mix - perfect. Absolutely nothing not to like. Enjoyed my listens. A lot! Appreciate that, Brain! Dave and Chris, the original song was OK but adding Marty and reworking parts of the song took it to a new level, a very high and professional sounding level. I loved everything about this version. Marty always brings things to a new level Thanks, Mario! Dave, This is brilliant! I love the way that the musical backing is woven. This is a work of aural art. The way the instruments come in and out and pan across the stereo field makes this a listening treasure. As always, Chris's singing is superb. She really settles into these lyrics and becomes part of the song. Then there's Marty's excellent bass work and your always-outstanding guitar playing. Honestly, I cannot imagine how this could be any better than it already is. Listening pleasure at its very best. --Noel Wow, thanks, Noel!

Nice sax sound, but otherwise not your best one I've heard. Maybe because of a mild background and lazy tempo. I didn't want to mix the backing track too high. I looked for a real track style that had a bit more energy, but just didn't find one I really liked. Thanks for the feedback.

Hola, a todos, yo necesito trasportar algunas de las canciones porque la guitarra acústica la tengo afinada todas las cuerdas dos semitones mas bajo, pero suena fatal, y aunque la baje un tono osea si esta en C, la tendría que poner en Bb, y suena mal, me doy cuenta, que usar la opcion de bajar la tonalidad sin que afecte a los acordes, no funciona, lo que si funciona es bajar todo sonido y modificacion de acordes. desde preferencias, transponer hay una opción para bajar por semitonos yo he metido este valor "-2", a lo mejor es por que he puesto mal el valor y no lo coje, no consigo bajar un tono que es lo que tengo la guitarra, si lo bajo sueana muy mal, a ver si alguien sabe como bajar el solo el sonido dos semitonos. gracias

This one didn't grab me right away, and, for a while, my mouse was hovering over the back arrow. However, the longer I resisted, the more this track grew on me. I liked it even better when I switched to the video version. The lyrics presented an interesting theme, sung with feeling, while faultless lead guitar riffs embellished and enhanced the overall production. The backing band seemed to know exactly what was required of them too

Hi Fivehands. There are a number of 12/8 styles that would work fine. These can be filtered using the "Time Sig" filter. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32288&filename=12-8 filter.jpg) When you've filtered the styles, if you click on the "Tempo" header, the list will sort from slow tempo to fast tempo. A second click on the heading will sort the list in reverse order. From the styles that are filtered, you will be able to see which Realtracks will be appropriate to choose from. Essentially, 12/8 and 6/8 are swing styles because the styles are based on notes in groups of three (12/8 is compound quadruple time and 6/8 is compound duple time. That is, 12/8 is four beats of three 1/8th notes per beat and 6/8 is two beats of three 1/8th notes per beat). This could cause issues when matching Realtrack generations in Cubase because Cubase may have counted the bars as six beats per bar. Let's cross that bridge if it arises, though. Because 12/8 and 6/8 are SW styles, it's possible to use SW 4/4 Realtracks with them. Regards, --Noel ★ my latest song using BIAB and Synth V: A World Of Wonder
