“Sun shines bright today, yet I can’t feel it
Kids cheer and play, but I’m not there
Spring fills the air, but my mind conceals it
Too clouded to care” Excellent lines to describe the love lost feel. Hans, for us you’re again definitely channeling John Lennon here, which is delightful. The arrangement, your vocals and the RT’s you chose work excellently in creating powerful dynamics. That Brent solo is great. Your upgraded studio is working out great indeed. Well done and we much enjoyed it. Happy New Year! J&B

Dani, I was just thinking the other day that "I haven't heard anything from Dani in a while"! It's great to hear something new from you and it's a great song! I always get a surf music vibe from your tunes and you are certainly the forum king in that genre even though this tune has a country feel in places! Your lyrics are an open letter to the forum community, and I feel I speak for a lot of us when I say welcome back! Hope your computer issues are sorted for a while now! Take care, TB

Bob, You are such a great storyteller in your tunes (lyrics are excellent)! Nice work developing the background vocals! The melody sticks around for a while after listening and that's always a good thing! Take care, TB

Scott, It's a sad song, but there are many things I love about it! That deep rich piano sound is fabulous! The NI selections sound excellent! The single tracked lead vocal really works well here! Your arrangement, performance and lyrics are really great! Take care, TB

My Settings window looks different than what you've got here. I'm in 2026, of course. How do I edit the purple bars to a brighter color in 2026?

Marty and Dave, I love the acoustic guitar driven vibe of this one! Marty the dynamic range of the vocal melody is very nice, and the bass work is impeccable! Dave's guitar work is truly the icing on the cake! Nice job guys! Thanks, TB Thanks, Torrey. You can't imagine how cool it feels to have YOU saying the vocal was nice. Dave always adds the perfect sweetener. A wonderful musical collaboration and consistently excellent videos. Merry Christmas, Marty! Laurent Thank you, Laurent. Merrry Christmas to you too, and Happy New Year. Love the story in the lyrics, a couple of working musicians dealing with the foibles of that profession. The bridge is brilliant! Great work here, Mr. Straub! Merry Xmas, sir, looking forward to another great year with you here on the forum! Thanks, Bob. I'm looking foward to another fun year, too. Hopefully with a couple new songs that need your harp.  Marty and Dave, cool song and it sounds GREAT! LOVE the vocals. Wish I could yodel like that. Dave's guitar is always a thrill. Love the bass though I'd like to hear it MORE. That's a super ending, too. And that's the truth! Ho! Ho! Ho! Thanks, Ron. I wish I could sing like a Himalayan Throat singer. hehe Looking forward to what you create in 2026. Also, let me know how you like TURN.

1. Just fired up BIAB 2022 and I get the drum lead in. No problems 2. Upgraded BIAB 2022 to BIAB 2023 and I get the drum lead in. No problems 3. Upgraded BIAB 2023 to BIAB 2024 and I DO NOT get the drum lead in. There in lies the problem folks. So to summarize the findings 1. 2022 works. 2. 2023 works. 3. 2024 does not work. 4. 2025 does not work. 6. 2026 does not work. PG Music needs to find out what they did between BIAB 2023 and BIAB 2024 to find out why there is no drum lead in IF the drum track is populated with a RealTrack. During the testing I used all the standard default settings when installing the versions.

Thanks Mario, Janice, Bud, Andrew and TuneMonger. Chinese instruments are here to bring some peacefulness to this piece. To synchronise Suno AI voice track, TuneMonger, you have to go in Studio and then, you can put the tempo at the right speed (at the very bottom of the page)!

The music seems to revolve like a spinning wheel. That's pretty clever how you did that. Great chorus! Nice slowdown in tempo at the end. How did you achieve that in your DAW? My favorite line: "Truth be told, I’ve told the truth but haven’t gotten nowhere." Thanks Scott - I didn't set out to make the music 'revolve' other than it being a repeating 4-chord progression - chord progressions normally come first for me with lyrics and bridge competing for last place. While I can't remember exactly, I would have had the title before the lyrics and after the chords because I normally write to a title. So, any circular feel to the music is a fluke - or at best subconsciously created. It's not actually a slow down at the end - instruments still keep time but move to half bar notes - see attached screenshot from Cakewalk Sonar. This existed in the BIAB chords by using a hold for each two-beat chord as shown in the BIAB screenshot attached. I don't know about Cakewalk Sonar for tempo changes, but I mostly use Reaper as my DAW and I know that it can do tempo changes because I've stuffed up a song before by incorrectly using it. I've also been known to slow a song so that I can play and record a guitar solo when my fingers aren't quick enough to play it in normal time. I'm probably not the only one that does this.  Thanks for listening! Andrew

Hi Armand, I’m glad you were able to get something working but I’d like to understand better what’s not working smoothly with the VST itself. Could you share more details about your setup and exactly what problems you’re encountering? With that information, I might be able to suggest a solution that helps the plugin work properly for you.

Hi avitus, thanks for reporting this. In my testing C7 chords work correctly in the plugin, but G-7 chords cannot be entered. I plan to fix that in an upcoming update. In the meantime, you can enter Gm7, which is equivalent. The chord F/\7 isn’t a valid chord in either the main program or the plugin, so it should not be recognized at all. To help me understand exactly what you’re seeing, could you share the song file (SGU or MGU) if it’s available? That would allow me to replicate the behavior and investigate further.

"Ctrl F8 doesn't eliminate the problems I am talking about". I was actually replying to Shawn, but... Have you spent time with Ctrl+F8 method? If so, how long? 2-10 minutes or longer? I used it for many hours, different instruments. Rhythm and soloists, to my taste it is the most powerful tool BIAB has to offer as far as partial regens go. I've used it but not loads, maybe it's something I'll experiment more with. I get a bit irritated with the screen moving around with auto-scroll when zoomed in, something a lot of developers need to understand IMO, not just PG. I'm prepared to try things and maybe I'll find some methods are better when I get used to them, however, I still think the edit phrase is a must have, you can tweak things in ways that can't be done with any other method.

Other than having to learn where everything I use is located, my only complaint is the small space and font of the song titles on the chord page. Can the size of that area be increased a little? And the color of the font----can that be changed? Mine is dark green. Can you clarify what you mean by "song titles on the chord page" ?
