I have an (IOS Mac Version) audiophile SSD that I've updated after non-use for some time. Noticing its slow to load some items and a little glitchy running BitB from the audiophile ssd. Has anyone transferred the program and all related files to a MacBook pro? What would the process be to do this and have it function without the need to use the audiophile SSD? I have a PG Music Audiophile SSD that is around a decade old now and its chugging along like the old tech it is. My MacBook is 2022 16GB RAM and 520 GB SSD. Thoughts on this would help me avoid any re-works. Thanks.

many people here, even very advanced users are used to a certain workflow in BIAB and in a way gave up on advanced editing. I've used BIAB for many years and have never got used to a certain workflow, I've just suffered it. It's always been an incredibly frustrating experience trying to do anything much beyond entering some chords and selecting a style. On the other hand, things have also improved dramatically over those years, albeit at a very slow pace and many things still leave me shaking my head in disbelief with each update. With that said, this last update has been a massive improvement - still lots wrong but for the first time ever I feel it might actually start moving in the right direction, hopefully. Time will tell!

Yes +1 And while we're at it, add the other A/B/C/D markers as editable data natively, in my experience RB only supports A/B Maybe I've been missing something all this time. Are you meaning the green and blue markers? Those only have "a" or "b", and my BBSL in RB have A-Z and 1-9.... I've been away from RB for a few years and I'm just now getting somewhat re-educated to add to my minimal education on it. If for some reason the BBSL's can't cross over, maybe other color choices, font colors, box outlines or something could be coded in that would cross over? I don't know. For my uses on building a multitrack recording, I assign a letter like G for guitar, B for banjo, D for dobro, etc. so while recording in the chords screen I don't have to guess what instrument has what part coming up. Colors might do if letters can't. Probably laziness on my part but it sure helps to know when to throw in a transition lick or something when I know that I'm going to be handing the lead off to another instrument that I'm going to be recording on the next track...

Kleven71, Welcome! This is an unusual first post to a software forum, but here goes... 1. No ideas what the lyrics are about. Something bad. 2. Keywords: Carnage, carnage, carnage 3. I am the forge... Don't know if this is any help. There are a LOT of lyrics, and they are very parabolic in approaching whatever the topic is. But for many genres, like Metal, this doesn't matter a lot.

Nice one, Noel. Cool write, and the arrangement and band are superb. Smiled when the banjo and later the fiddle came in. Lots of nice touches throughout. I'd give you an A++ on your exercise!

As others have already noted, the reverb on the vocals is a little too much, but apart from that, it's a pretty good song. Toe-tapping goodness!

Hi David. I listened to this song on Soundcloud quite a while ago, and I've just realised that I never commented here. My apologies. This is such a great song with such a great message. These lyrics are superb and you've captured one of Life's big universal themes extraordinarily well. It is impossible not to relate to what you've written and the soul with which you've sung. You've truly hit this ball out of the park for a home run. I was with you all the way. Highly enjoyable listening. --Noel

Hi floyd. This is excellent listening. I remember a time when an instrumental track would sit in the Top 40 every few months. Some of the most memorable songs for me have been instrumentals – Telstar, In the Mood, Stranger on the Shore, Peter Gunn, Baby Elephant Walk, Music Box Dancer, Popcorn, etc. Unfortunately, instrumental tracks are something rarely heard in mainstream music, these days. It's refreshing to be reminded that a good instrumental is still worth its weight in gold. I thoroughly enjoyed my listen. Thank you for reminding me that good music is not always sung. --Noel

Gotta admit I don't know the genre except Dr. John (is he swamp music?) but when he mentioned gris-gris I thought it was cajun food! Sounded good to me, dark for sure, and if Janice is singing I'm there whatever the style of music. Good guitar, too. I googled swamp rock but it was way off base. Definitely different for you guys but I dug it. Good work, team! Thanks! Glad you liked our little adventure. Glad you didn’t eat any gris Gris. 😀 Here’s the best net description we could find of swamp rock. “Swamp rock is a genre originating in the late 1960s that fuses swamp blues, rockabilly, country, and Southern soul, characterized by a gritty, low-toned guitar sound and dark, rhythmic, and funky grooves. Primarily associated with Louisiana and popularised by artists like Tony Joe White and Creedence Clearwater Revival, it captures a rustic, moody atmosphere of the Southern U.S.” Thanks again for the nice remarks. J&B

I don't think Newbies have personal message privileges until they post a certain number of messages. My guess is the personal message mailbox opens once the Newbie title is gone.

Mindless Thoughts makes me think whithout thoughts, I think. Therefore I am --happy to be listening to another Mario Masterpiece. You are truly amazing, my friend. Every piece you create is different from every other you make, but they all have that one thing in common: extraordinary, out-of-this-world-or-any-world-for-that-matter goodness. The feeling listening to this is quite indescribable, yet it cries out for description. Thanx so much Marty for this very kind review. I'm glad you like my music.

Marty. Very interesting lyric. I love the "spouse" and "house" rhyme Dave done a fine job. Did you use reverb on the vox and mix? To my ears there seems to be a loss of clarity. It could be too much reverb, or an EQ thing. Could be my ears too. Vic Thanks, Vic. Yes, reverb was added. It was probably too much of that, and not your ears, which I always appreciate. A really catchy song with some great guitar work. The two partners are at the helm. Laurent Thanks, Laurent. Hi Marty, I listened to the YT version some days ago and now the one on SC. Yes, you are right. This one sounds more bright/clear than on YT, but I'm not so sure now... I like the rhythm and especially the chorus. Wow, great harmonies there! I think I missed that on YT. Dave is doing his super best, maybe (imho) his best solo! No, I just wanted to tease a little bit here; he always has great solos. I think he really is a virtuoso! Hans Thanks, Hans. I'd suggest listening to both a hundred times or whatever is needed for you to be sure. You're right about Dave. Man, I've been remixing many of the old songs, and it's amazing the different styles that he is proficient in, and how he comes up with the perfect track blows my mind. Marty, Just awesome! Love the song and your vocal. Dave is in high gear! You guys have another hit! Such great music! Bob Thank you, Bob. This is so much fun, and I'm glad you like it.
