Happy New Year to you too, Billy. I've been following a lot of info on AI. What's obvious is that this is still the 'tip of the iceberg' and a lot of water will still flow. New frontiers. New directions, Brick walls? Unanticipated encounters? Wonderful successes? Who knows? There will be push back, challenges, and more. But AI won't go away. Anyway, my $2. (2 cents ain't worth nothing no more  )

Thank you all. My hobby is music ethnology: it's interesting how musical influences have been devopled and spread in the world: like yodeling from Switzerland, accordions from Germany, fiddle tunes from Ireland and Scotland via the Appalacies and conjuntos of Mexico melted into tex mex, country and western and western swing. My teen years were in the sixties, so I grew up with the British blues revival from pop and rock to jazz and world music. I have had a periods of digging some genre deeply for awhile and then moving to another: like I had a Hawaiian period trying to learn to play lap steel, Celtic period playing melodies with tenor banjo and mandolin, New Orleans jazz with tenor banjo and so on. I'm very pleased to share with you all the knowledge I have gathered.

Mario - I'm delighted you liked my blues tune, thanks very much for listening & super comments!! The blues to me sits deeply in our psyche and feels so profound - I wish my fingers would allow me to spend more time playing blues on my 1939 Supertone parlor, sadly the pain gets in the way so I'm trying a bit of slide instead! Hope you had a good Christmas, wishing you all the very best in 2026! Carl

This method didn't work for me but setting the path in the Window menu did after updating. Using the install manager once I changed the path it wanted to reinstall everything. Thanks for you help. I am marking this as solved. Yes, I was going to mention that plus the fact that you can’t download the Audiophile samples but I was in a hurry. Glad you got it taken care of.

The problem is simple: In BiaB standalone I can set chords to show as jazz chords, e.g. G-7, C7, F/\7 In the DAW version the chord sheet shows Gmi, Ci, Fmaji (I'm not sure I even fully understand the DAW version. What is a Ci chord anyway? They're all in a single bar so maybe that is causing the problem) I'm using Luna as my DAW.

In my experience with using multiple monitors, if a particular monitor is turned off, I have to make sure that my operating system doesn't think it's on. My MO is to make sure all windows are docked on the monitors that I want them to be on when I turn off the monitor that I'm not using. That way those same windows (should) pop up on those same monitors, (hopefully) eliminating the need to turn on the not-used monitor just to move a window..... Usually if it's a program, the tab for it can be seen on the taskbar so I'll know something went over to the other monitor, but not the case in the situation in this thread because it's not a separate program that is running. To change the monitor config in the OS settings just to "mute" or eliminate that one monitor would be a major repetitive needless PIA. Huge kudos to Andrew and PG Music for addressing the situation. That is much appreciated.

Sorry this should be just thrown out and the standard save as windows dialog should be used. This solves many other problems with this approach. Definitely not disagreeing with that. It's simply unfinished work at present. Needs an overhaul.

Marty the storyteller strikes again. The effect on the "time flew by" section was unexpected but cool sounding. I like that the persona isn't bitter about his situation. I think this shows the optimism of the writer. Melody works well with an underlying subtle ebullience in the accompaniment.

Thanks for a AI-free song. Pleasent to listen, even tho lyrics are up-to-day. Arri, THANK YOU for the listen. The lyrics (not mine) sound very up to date to me as well. The background of the song you listened to has an interesting (to me) chronology: American "Revolution": 1775-1783 These lyrics: 1981 This music to the lyrics: 2016 This recording: 2025 So this one took quite a while to write. Ha! Merry Christmas!

I spent over 20 years dedicated to jazz guitar. Listened to it, studied it, played it, LIVED it. Alas, I've got a few nice sounding, showy pieces I can play, but I'm not an expert, or even a 'jazz guitarist' by my definition. I mean, the guys who can really play that stuff are WAY beyond my reach. They just are. It was still a good investment, since I learned a lot about music and probably more about myself than I wanted to know. When I returned to popular music styles about 10 years ago I found I had an extra gear that I didn't have before, and it's quite nice to have in reserve. Related side story. At my first real job, a couple of the old timers were regaling us newcomers with stories and advice. One of them frequently referenced his "30 years of experience" on the job. After he excused himself and walked away, the other old timer said, "Truth be told, he has one year of experience 30 times". Ouch! But I can relate with jazz guitar.

I guess I will have to buy the Mac version. I think I will wait until the 2026 version is out in about 6 months time. No point in paying for six months. There is no or little incentive for me, unless the price is adjusted for then upgrading again. Not that concerned with RB, I never used it.

Izzy, as a dog lover I can totally relate to this song. Your lyrics and vocal touched my heart. It is very unfortunate that dogs live such short lives. I could relate as we had to put down three dogs in five weeks; it was a very sad time. I know that it must have been almost impossible to do this song. I loved it.

Hi Mario. What a very, very restful creation. As I listened, I was reminded of sitting in contemplation on a green hillside on a sunny spring day. You have created a beautiful musical journey. I thoroughly enjoyed where you took me in my imagination. --Noel Thanx so much Noel. I'm glad you liked it.

Sorry... I am confused... My new MacBook Pro M4 is running Tahoe. Will BB install and work ok or do I need to install a different version of Mac OS? The BIAB 2025 for Mac has been fully vetted over Tahoe per PG Music which means that it's supported. I've run it over my Tahoe test volume and it runs great (can't say that about Finale but there are apps in the works that aim to solve that problem—if so, I might upgrade my OS from Sequoia).

Bonjour Voilà quelque mois que j'utilise avec bonheur ce vst gratuit et tellement simple d'utilisation https://www.birdsthings.com/system-audio-bridge  vous l'installez dans votre DAW en tant que VST et il reprend le son de windows , donc simplement lancer Biab , le logiciel (rapide , et plus de bug... et modifiable à la volée quel soulagement !! NB uniquement pour les utilsateur de Windows ( pas sous Mac) - il faut couper le son de windows accéder au son à partir du petit haut parleur que l'on trouve par la petite fleche a coté de l'icone internet en bas à gauche par défaut . vous mettez le son à zéro avec la petite barre. Cela évite d'entendre le son doublé votre son passera par la carte son du votre DAW uniquement ce qui évite d'entendre comme un écho très désagréable. ... et voilà tout est prêt (plus besoin de paramétrer voicemeter et autre .. que du bonheur - je ne comprends pas que ce vst ne soit pas plus populaire !! profitez bien

Strong lyrics. You have perfected that 70s style sound so well. Guitar sound is phenomenal. Those BIAB sound like they are part of the song---meaning that sometimes those BIAB ooos and ahhhs don't quite fit in some songs, but here you blended them in well. Thanks Scott! I had to do some surgery on those BIAB oohs and Ahhs and blend in my own to make it work! At least I can count on the BIAB singers being on-pitch! TB
