I like the caution that bluegrasspicker correctly put in his suggestion. Before putting this method in the Tips and Tricks Forum, is everyone sure there aren’t any negative ramifications? Everything is working correctly?

The 32-bit version included with 2026 is version 2025. 2026 does not have a 32-bit option. ... Thanks for clarifying. I wasn't aware that the 2026 installation also installed the 2025 32 bit version.

Hi Ron! This is good! I love the ‘doot doot’ used almost as a BV fill transitioning to the chorus. Also one of the RTs - I think it’s 4955 - jangling away on the right-hand-side - it gave me the impression of deleted things floating in the ether, and I note these RTs are called ‘ethereal’. I wouldn’t call this country either, but for the presence of the steel guitar which is suitably disguised more as a slide which again suits the song. I’d be happy to sign a petition claiming this as rock/pop rather than country, or reporting the classification to BIAB Support as a ‘bug’.  Enough of the analysis - a really good song that I enjoyed. Andrew PS while listening and pondering the title, I thought how cool would it be to have an album named ‘Key strokes’ full of songs like ‘Deleted’, ‘Enter’, ‘Space’, ‘Control’, ‘Tab’, ‘Shift’, and so we don’t forget the Apple Mac users ‘Command’.

+1/ -1 I can imagine how useful this might be, however... I am not a fan of software that is tethered to online service, especially 3rd party service. So, +1 would be if: PGM servers would act as intermediary between BIAB <->AI api. In similar way you audition styles through picker "online". Obviously, unchecked box to use "online" content will untether program from calling home or other "places". -1 If the process is baked in.... As the one PGM made for "AI lyrics". If it was up to me, I would made that whole "block" as optional enable/disable in preferences. It doesn't belong in Library anyway  In short, good idea, but depends how it may be done.

Hi Marty! That Am - F - E chord move sounds good. I’ve always liked the sweeping strum pattern used - or maybe it was the scraper? In any case, a cool sound. Vocal sounds good. Andrew

Hi Sol. Wow! This is great all round! It starts out as a big band love song then, pow! That third verse really caught me off guard. Either way, this is very well done! Great vox! Thank you so much. It's always a nice feeling when someone hears one of my songs.........and likes it.

Two things: first, the biggest detriment is that AI is destroying the ability to think critically, to solve problems, to be creative. People naturally look for the lazy easy way to make money and to just skate by. Second, it violates copyrights clear across the board by culling from works that have already been done. This is also a blatant insult to artists who have done their creations with human thoughts and hands in the first place. People who say, "I created a song using AI," did not create at all. And the music (actually marketing) industry are referring to these imposters as "music designers." We are living in Orwell's "1984," folks.

A very beautiful production, and certainly not an easy text to sing, but you pull it off masterfully. The guitars and mixing are excellent. Laurent Thanks, Laurent. Hi, floyd jane. I remember this one. Great song! Rodney did a fantastic job on this. Love it!  Thanks, David...

You know that we love the topic of your song and your production for both the song and the video are excellent. With the vocalists you chose the choruses and bridge sound magestic. Once again you’ve assembled an interesting and enjoyable band too. The wollimi pine documentary is fascinating and reminds us of what a brief time we are here. The cassoweries were amazing and the doc did a good job of showing our connectedness. On that note (pun intended) we’re going for a hike in the woods! Well done and we enjoyed it all! J&B Thanks Janice & Bud for your kind words I'm always waiting for your nice comment especially when it's about nature. "Brief time" and "connectedness" - I appreciate your beautiful insights. I hope you enjoyed your hike in the woods, I guess it is your paradise there Janne

When I muttered, "Okay, here we go," I knew right away I had to keep it in. My secret to a catchy melody is to make it lilting...make those notes make some jumps. When I was a kid my parents didn't want me to listen to rock and roll, so I listened to a lot of Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals, swing, classical and Mantovani. When I heard the pop songs on the radio at school, songs like "Windy," "Lazy Day," "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," "Honky Tonk Women," really had an impact on me. I bought a guitar when I was 20, still naive about anything outside of pop on the radio, but I knew I wanted to write catchy tunes. I put a lot of them up on Broadjam. I attributed the instruments to B. Andi Nabox. No one's figured it out yet!

Cool and ethereal intro leads to a beautiful and calming pop song with an uplifting message. I enjoyed the smooth band, and your supporting powerful guitar sounds. Great vocals and your harmonies are always delicious, high notes come very naturally. Great work, the huge amount of effort can really be heard in the production. Janne

Hello, I noticed some issues as well. After loading the song and generating the files, the cursor did not change bars in the Band-in-a-Box plugin. I stopped the song, clicked play again, but this time it did work. Would you please let us know if clicking play again after stopping the song works for you? Thank you, Catherine Back when I created the OP, I had found how to open the plugin in Reaper and load the BIAB songs from my HD. After finding that with the issue of the cursor not moving, I gave up on the plugin and haven't used it since. After *many* years of using BIAB, it didn't seem like the plugin was going to be much of a benefit to me so I'm back to the old ways, and all is good. Now when I try to open the plugin in Reaper so I could respond to your post, the plugin opens after choosing the VST3 in FX and when I load one of the BIAB demo songs from my HD, the plugin goes in an endless loop with nothing loading and the message at the bottom of the plugin window that scrolls horizontally saying loading and the file name. I've tried several songs with the same issue. So, I'll have to thrash with it when I get some time. The need for the plugin at this time is not crucial, I was just trying it to see if it would be of a benefit for me, which at this point in time does not, as it's creating more work and time consumption vs benefit. I should note that I watched the videos, but they are good for the guy making the video because everything works on his system and configuration with no hiccups, and he knows exactly what to do before he starts. I'm starting from total ignorance on the plugin. Edit: I should note that when I did my first testing of the Reaper DAW plugin, I was using a Behringer UMC204HD USB interface that was configured correctly for recording and playback. I've since moved the UMC204HD to a different computer for an audio recording project with BIAB and RB, and I'm now using just a Creative Audigy FX for playback on the original computer that I have been testing the Reaper / BIAB DAW on. The driver settings etc. are all configured correctly in both pgms for the Audigy card, but I'm just pointing out what's changed. I have not installed Reaper on the other computer since it is being used on an experimental basis for a temporary project so it won't be available for testing this issue. Thanks for your response.

Knee Wobbler This is a cool sounding tune that has the sound from the late 60's like a cross of Cream and the Doors! You and I are the same age (within a year) as I learned from your description. So I can relate to your obvious musical influences. You did a wonderful job on this one! I really liked the vocal sound! Thanks, TB

We like the trio band and those organ swells are perfect. What a cool song of textures that we could almost see as a piece of woven fabric. (Janice was imagining a wooden loom as she listened.) Fine vocals and mix to support the great narrative. We love these vignettes from you and Joliz! J&B PS We always appreciate your tech data.

J&B+P, Nice write. Heartwarming and heart-wrenching. Gorgeous vocals. Nice production. Peter's guitar is perfectly supportive. Excellent mix. Very cool album cover. fj Like you (and Ron), I spent childhood/teen summers working on Grampa's farm (and uncle's farms) in Iowa. Bailing hay, cutting silage, walking beans, milking cows (by hand and machine) and chasing piglets to be neutered. Always glad that I eventually got to go home to "city life" afterwards...but glad to have had the experience...

“Experts share insights into the camera light With sponsored answers, dressed up as facts Since when does truth start needing a brand? That doesn’t make sense, their version of right” Man, that immediately grabs you and doesn’t let go until the end of the last note. Ron so well expressed our feelings that it is hard to add anything. You so eloquently stated the situation in a thought provoking manner. And without getting shrill or going over the top. The vocals, the arrangement, the mix, the vid images … everything is outstanding. We hope many, many folks hear this. J&B
