Thank-you all, I’m glad I’m not the only one that has trouble identifying the scroll of drop-down options. Will persist with list and see what comes up. Cheers.

Re: Should I Buy These Monitors? Janice & Bud Yesterday at 11:52 PM Forum: Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production Jump to new postsJump to new posts
We’ve had two sets of Rokits but ultimately settled in with Kalis. Reasonable price and an 8” woofer.

Re: Click Track keeps Falling Off the Beat in RB Noel96 Yesterday at 11:23 PM Forum: Beginners Forum Jump to new postsJump to new posts
MIchael, If you can upload Realband's SEQ file to a third-party site such as Dropbox and then put a link to that file in this thread, we can download it and have a look at it. This will help us find what is causing the issue. Sometimes seeing the problem first-hand is the easiest way to resolve an issue.

Re: I Never Touched Your Soul Guitarhacker Yesterday at 11:17 PM Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I was trying to think of what this reminded me of..... I don't know. Here's the advice I have, for what it's worth. Good lyrics. Workable melody and structure. Loose the cowbell. It's totally out of character with the song. This mix and especially the vocals are lacking in the high end. There's no crispness to the sound and there needs to be. That makes this whole thing sound dull and lacking dynamics. Fixing the EQ would go a long ways towards bringing this to a higher level, musically speaking.

Re: Blooming Guitarhacker Yesterday at 11:10 PM Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Hey, that is so cool. The video was great and the music fit nicely. We had some flowers in our garden at the other house and brought them here as well. We called them Moon Flowers. They open in the evening and close when the sun comes up.. Pale yellow and the cool thing was they literally opened completely in about 10 seconds. They would twitch a few times and then open like the video shows but in real time. We found out they are actually pretty invasive weeds but still fascinating plants.

Re: Is This Funk Guitarhacker Yesterday at 11:04 PM Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Is this Funk? Yes, not Mother's Finest, or Tower of Power, and certainly not Parliament Funkadelic, but more like Stevie Wonder. Funk Lite. Nicely done.

Re: LOUD Metronome goofeyfoot Yesterday at 08:48 PM Forum: Beginners Forum Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Boy this is going to drive me nuts. I tried doing this through the acid loops technique in Real Band. The metronome settings were changed to the sounds/volumes I wanted. Sounded perfect. Saved the metronome to a track in midi format. I 'Rendered" that track to an Acid file, gave it a name and put it in "Loops" Opened a new RB file to test things out. Selected and Created Loop with the "Generate" Button. Filled all the information and added the "loop" to a track. I even auditioned the item before clicking OK. Sounded perfect during the audition. But... Played the track. Now sounded completely different than what I did in the first step. Also completely different from the audition. And, by "completely" I mean completely. Different sounds, different instruments, etc. What am I doing wrong? Michael

-If you start a new song and then select the same menu item, does it ask you to save the song first? -Is the dialog hidden behind the main window?

Re: David Allan Coe Sawmill Music Yesterday at 07:20 PM Forum: Off-Topic Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I have been a fan since the late 70s . . . Great songwriter and put on a hell of an entertaining live show the couple times I saw him. "The Ride" is still a fixture on most of my playlists. "Controversial" would be an understatement . . . Even without bringing up "Underground Album" and "Nothing Sacred" (Full disclosure I own both)

A Little Help for BIAB LIVE Users re: BIAB 2026 Danny C. Yesterday at 06:40 PM Forum: UserTracks Wishlist Jump to new postsJump to new posts
It would be a nice help if when we clicked "file" in BIAB 2026 the drop down "Open Favorite Songs" were offered along with "Open" and "Open Special" as this would save a few steps doing this via having to "Open Special" to get to the Open Favorite Folder. Of course an "Open Favorite Song" stand alone button would be better. But I feel like I am in the bread line requesting French Toast, LOL. PS: I will double post in the suggestion forum. Thanks, Danny C.

Re: Metronome Andrew - PG Music Yesterday at 04:33 PM Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Macintosh Jump to new postsJump to new posts
To clarify:
Quote
The style was HESIT8.STY and when I launched BIAB yes I heard the metronome (like a stick on the the snare). When I load the SATIORK4, I have no sound at all.
1 - Is it correct that you do not hear any MIDI at all? Also try ZZJAZZ.STY. 2 - When you load a RealStyle (_HESIT8.STY is only RealTracks, no MIDI), you hear a metronome click. Do you ALSO hear the other instruments playing or ONLY that "metronome" sound? (or whatever the drum click is). Maybe you have some unexpected plugin selected. Try this - close Band-in-a-Box, and open the "Plugin Settings" folder in your Band-in-a-Box folder. Find and delete any DefaultSynth*.tgs and plugin_list*.txt files you see there. Open Band-in-a-Box and see if that fixed it (Band-in-a-Box will re-create these files as needed). Also, in your other thread I had a request that you may not have seen. I'll repeat it here: With Band-in-a-Box closed, please find the intrface.bbm file in the 'Applications/Band-in-a-Box/Preferences' folder. Zip this file (right-click on it and compress), and then email this zip file as an attachment to support with a message to refer to this forum thread. You can then try renaming the file intrface_old.bbm and running Band-in-a-Box to see if the problem happens with default settings. (The intrface_old is a backup of your settings.)

There were 4 files showing as N/A
Is that in the StylePicker (.STY files) or in the RealTracks Picker.. How about in the RT Picker specifically?

Re: FYI Google flow music creation MarioD Yesterday at 01:20 PM Forum: Songwriting Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Interesting. IF one could type something like (verse 1) add lyrics, (verse 2) add lyrics, (chorus) add lyrics, etc this could be very beneficial to songwriters, or as backing tracks for instrumentalist. However I can also see another group of all AI generated songs created by non-musicians coming our way. This software is not for me but I can see others may benefit from it. I am certainly not going to spend $6 a month let alone $250 a month to have fun with music. I have BiaB for that!
