Floyd you are a man of many talents. I think you could master any instrument you wanted to master. Great mandolin chops. Excellent job. PS I have a couple of >100 year old mandolins hanging on my wall; my uncle willed them to me. I also have a new mandolin hanging along side them. You gave me inspiration to attempt playing it again. I hope the frets are wider!

Ron, I'm so glad you retrieved this song from your archives. This is an outstanding song. Great lyrics and vocal. Super guitar tracks, backing band, and mix. Loved it!

This does sound better. Crisper with more instrument distinction. The vocal is more present too.

AurealiusB, this is an excellent song. Great vocal, harmonies, and lyrics. I thought the cowbell was a tad loud, as was the lead. I thought the backing band was great but could be a tad louder also. Maybe just a remix would work; I don't think you need to add any other tracks. But again that is just my opinion. I think think this is an excellent song that with a little polish could be a masterpiece.

I think this territory sounds good on you. I like that picking guitar. Mix sounds right to me. Good chorus!

thanks for clarifying (I'm slow sometimes) If you already made it a track, that's weird Unless you still have the metronome itself playing .. have you checked that? (made sure the metronome itself is disabled, since it is on a track now)

Hi Janice & Bud, This song is absolutely mesmerizing—it pulled me into another world. Loved the grit and overall tone throughout. Wow! Thanks so much for sharing. Catherine Great to hear from you and thank you so much for the very kind and supportive comments. We appreciate the grit mention as we did focus on trying to achieve that. And we were excited to see that it was placed on the Hot Forum Topics list! Thanks for all and we’re glad you enjoyed that other world! J&B

Very cool, Charlie. Never looked at this tab before, but it's quite powerful. If one sorts by the Instrument column, the drum tracks are found at the top of the list as instrument <No Patch Change>.

Hello François, Thank you for the information. If you load the style SATIORK4 for example, do you hear the metronome after the count in section? Also, what OS are you running, please? I will pm you regarding your upgrade questions as well. Thank you, Catherine

Hi BD. Your title brought to mind a line from Roger Miller's song "The Code Of The West: do unto others before they can do it to you." I couldn't find my pass to get through the Google gate but I assume it's a f.....g good song as you're known to be handy with that sort of thing. Vic Thanks Vic  I'll post an update as soon as the song is officially released on Spotify and SoundCloud next week.

Does the problem seem to be related to MIDI channels (e.g. multiple instruments on the same channel), or are there wrong notes? A specific example might be helpful here to identify what's going on.

That's strange, I'm not sure what would cause that. Unless - is this happening with a specific song that happens to have an Audio track with a metronome? Or does it happen with any song? 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.

edit -- In your screenshot they are showing up as "Ready" which means the files are available for download. They are not showing as "Downloaded" - if you have the downloaded files (packages) in your Downloads folder then they will show up as downloaded or 'downloaded but newer file available' (you can choose a different download folder or move the files as mentioned by Catherine) -- There are a few possibilities for why they don't show as installed, but one is that up until fairly recently the Install Manager didn't keep track of whether a package was installed for future sessions, so it's possible you installed with an earlier build. I think that's most likely the case here. Another possibility is that the location you installed the Band-in-a-Box and/or RealTracks to was different than where they are now. Note - there are menu options to view logs and settings folders for the Install Manager under the Help menu, but there's nothing there that you can really edit easily to make it think that the files are installed. You can do a fairly thorough check using the MultiPicker / StylePicker / RealTracks Picker in Band-in-a-Box. -In the StylePicker, first do a rebuild (fast), then choose the Other menu | Only show styles with RealTracks that are N/A. If any styles show up in the list, then you are missing some RealTracks. You can also choose 'Only show styles that are N/A' and scan the "Sets" column. If there is anything other than Xtra PAKs and XPro PAKs, then you can see what you are missing. For example, if there is a set RT300 with N/A styles, then that means you are missing RealTracks Set 300. -In the RealTracks Picker, go to the [#] button and select 'Show N/A RealTracks'. Then, sort by the N/A column. Nothing should be N/A except for "Set 800" which are bonus 49PAK styles from this year. -Check the 'Help | What Addons do I have' dialog -If nothing unexpected shows as N/A, and you have installed the latest patch, then you are good.

Great arrangement and dynamics, Noel. The vocal sounds a little nasal but it gets the job done. Well done. Vic

Hi Andrew. What an interesting songwriting challenge. That chord progression is certainly something that would never had occurred to me, but you made it work very, very well. There is a lot of musical creativity on display here in the writing and the arranging. It's great. The backing, the mix, your vocals and guitar work (bass & rhythm) were excellent. Thanks for the detailed notes and graphics, too. They were very interesting to read through. --Noel

TuneMonger, Very nice song. Cool jazzy, bluesy and swing rhythm drums. Really good vocal. Nice blues harp solo with good tone. Other instruments, especially the bass, were great. AB
