I think they end up in a new folder "name-pg" created in the same folder as the source audio file.

Hi B. D. I won’t comment on this musically because that’s not the point. Your song and video made me angry. In one sense, I wondered what can one man do? It would be like throwing dust into the wind. This, coupled with growing wealth inequality, is a growing problem that we MUST fix. But first, we have to acknowledge there is a problem, and I fear that many of us - myself included - can find it easier to turn a blind eye. One of the reasons, I think, is the fear of the cost or burden it would place on us as individuals. That is why I think we must address it collectively. Here in my own state within Australia, there is a lot of commentary about how we can find AUD$16bn for a metropolitan motorway with tunnels but can’t find money for more pressing social needs. I recall something from my uni studies back in the day - Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs - where physiological needs (food, shelter) then safety needs, must first be satisfied before we can get into some of the higher needs like contribution to society and self actualisation. We need to give people a safe base to start from and address their base issues before we can expect them to be back on their feet. I fear for my own country (Australia) where housing affordability is such an alarming problem that we will have large swathes of the population living in sub-standard accommodation or none at all. We already see story after story of DV victims sleeping in cars and many people living in caravan parks. I don’t know what to do about the size of the problem other than changing my vote in elections. Andrew

MoonBeam9067's ChatGPT response sounds like typical AI gobbledygook. There are no shots built into RealStyles. Am unaware of any "auto arranger behavior", whatever that is. And I'm pretty sure a RealStyle isn't (normally) going to yield anything like a "harmonic metronome". Also, you have "full control over instrumentation" if you use RealStyles as they are not locked. Sheesh... A RealStyle is like walking into a studio with a set of chord changes and letting the session players go for it. If you don't like what one is playing, or all are playing, you can change it. It takes literally seconds to audition a RealStyle with your chord changes. The real limitation of not starting with a RealStyle is knowing where to find the instruments you need. The RealStyles are (for the most part) well curated to yield a complete ensemble that plays well together with minimal searching. My 2 cents...

Hi Peter, There are two different setups when it comes to mod wheel and pitch bend. From my experience the two wheel setup, one for modulation and the other for pitch bend, is the most common. However Korg and some others use a joystick when north and south is the modulation and east and west is the pitch bend. When using a joy stick it has to be centered as the pitch bend can go up and down, that is from -8k to +8k, while the modulation does not have to be centered and goes from o to 127 (or 1 to 128 depending on what scale your system uses. Pitch bend can be set from -2 octaves to +2 octaves down to -0.1 semitone to +0.1 semitone depending on your software. So yes you can use your joystick as a mod wheel just that the center point of the joystick is 0 and all the way up is 127, Going south on your joystick will do nothing and there is no negative setting on a mod wheel. I only use the one vibrato setting however if you want to use both the speed and depth you have to set a slider up for each one. Here is an explanation of overblowing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overblowing I only use it on rare occasions. Legato means only playing one note at a time; note that the flute can be set to polyphonic also, I think two notes at a time but I'm not on my music computer so I'm not sure how many notes it can play. If you overlap one note to another and/or use velocity (depending on what SWAM instrument you have) you will get a slur. A glissando is a glide between two notes. This is more effective on notes that are a third or more from each other. I use legato as my main setting sparingly adding overblow, vibrato, growl, etc to add realism. I never use any of the other nuances for the entire song as that is not a realistic thing to do. I hope this helps and good luck.

Hi Christian! Your song is one where I have focussed on the lyrics - I normally focus on the music. I agree with the theme - creativity can be intoxicating. It can be addictive where small successes or rewards or pleasant surprises cause one to search deeper for new inspiration- and I guess a dopamine release? Turns of phrase - both lyrical and musical - can be very pleasing. I am not sure what if that is what you intended, but that is what I interpreted it as. Well done! Andrew

Thank you B D Thomas, I’ll take oddly, it sits well. I can’t really remember why or how I came up with this theme or what the lyrics were really getting at. It really was just a song about letting go perhaps and not being too serious about anything, certainly no insights. Glad you like it, kind regards.

When you get everything downloaded and installed, please do a "count" on styles, real tracks, etc. Last year I went through this process, and unfortunately, will have to do the same this year (new laptop). LAST YEAR, the promo for the New 2025 version stated: - "Over 4,900 RealTracks and RealDrums" (I could only find 1625 total, after using the Install Manager, then getting the numbers from the new "Multi Picker" window) - "340+ MIDI Super Tracks" - (using the same process and count as above, I got 417) - "7500+ Styles (MIDI and RealStyles)" - my count came up as 7880 after the download and a slow "Rebuild" - "300+ MIDI Soloists" - my count came to 341 - "200+ MIDI Melodists" - my count came to 211 - "330+ Artist Performances" - my count 354 but I had to do some digging to find them all - "1,100+ Loops" - my count came to 1128 Soooooooooo, the only thing I DIDN'T get with a "clean install" using the Install Manager, was ALL the RTs and RDs. I spent a couple of online sessions with Support, to no avail. My saving grace was that I had the 202FOUR version on an offline laptop, from which I could "recover" what the download had missed. BOTTOM LINE: After you do a "clean install" and BEFORE you go back to the PGMUSIC website to download any XtraPAKs you may have bought along the way - which process is such a huge PITA, CHECK YOUR NUMBERS. They are different this year from what I show above so make sure you get everything you're entitled to (or to which you're entitled if you're a grammar critic - lol) Then please report back here if you don't mind. Thanks! LLOYD S

Nice review. I agree, the iOS BIAB app is very powerful and I expect the Android app would be similar. As far as I’ve been able to follow, these apps were given a soft launch. I think they deserve much more emphasis.

Thanks Jacob, I dread having to go through that mess again. Was hoping they would make this Wish happen, even if it meant adding only 199 new RealTracks instead of 200! lol I have another concern, I'll put it under the BIAB Forum, as it's not really a Wish, ... sort of. LLOYD S

Noel, The result you have achieved from the classical inspiration you mentioned are nothing short of astounding! This is a pleasure to listen to! The folk-rock waltz vibe you have created with the backing is perfect! Noel, you are one of the best around here when it comes to writing/arranging/performing a tune in BIAB and I never hesitate to hit the play button on one of your tracks! Take care, TB

Hey folks. I know there's a specific Forum area for this, but it may not be yet well known or appreciated that there's now a pretty darned good version of BIAB (coupled to a PC/Mac run version) for iOS and Android. I spent several hours figuring out the iOS app version yesterday. I'm sure there will be improvements, but it's already darned good, as you can save the rendered RT's locally as M4a+ files. And you can modify the files (key change, styles, tempos, number of choruses, etc.) and re-render and resave for off-line use. I've been using BIAB live on a small laptop for years for live restaurant-type gigs. Great to be able to move to iPad or tablet. So far, the app is free, and far better than iRealPro. Seems to me a much bigger deal than appreciated.

Dave, Marty and Chris, This is such a smooth sounding blues-rock track! All 3 of you are giving a totally pro effort here! Dave, I'm always blown away with your tone and performance....so good! Marty's bass track here is as good or better than any realtrack you could have put in. And what more can I say about Chris than I always do! She's always spot on with the vocal work and fits your teams sound so well! Congrats on another stellar tune that sits right at the top of anything posted here! Take care, TB

Real Band I find better at plugin handling. But a video is needed to detail how to set up a multi timbral multi out plugin in Real Band for new users. One advantage of Real Band is no third party plugin handler is needed whereas in BB one is needed. Please PG could we have such a video because this topic seems to come up on the forums. OM

OK, what you are calling edge I would call style or groove in "that was a smooth groove/style". IMHO your chart is universal in that "that (blank) song was very aggressive" where blank could be jazz, country, metal, rock, etc. YMMV
