Great track! I REALLY like that voice, what did you prompt to get that? Lyrics are excellent as usual. Sax is really good and on a couple occasions, too good. Few players could pull off those licks. I find Suno does that often. BIAB soloists, of course, do not do that, since they are real musicians.

I've got a song that is 79 bpm. It's 4/4 but has one measure that is 2/4. I inserted bar lines manually and changed the one measure to 2 beats. Everything plays back in sync up to the 2 bar measure. After it returns to 4 beats it drifts out of sync. So I decided to equalize tempo. Again, it's fine until the 2 bar measure. There's 2 measures where the audio slows down but then speeds up in sync to the end. If I mute the audio, the BB tracks are up to speed and work. With the audio unmuted, it's a train wreck as the audio is out of sync momentarily. My questions. Have you heard or experienced this yourself? If yes, how did you fix it? I'm wondering if I could use the equalize tempo on just a section of the song and not the whole song. If this is possible, I could use ET on the first part and then on the second part not equalizing the measure with 2beats and it might be workable. Has anyone used Equalize tempo on just a small section? The last resort is to mute the audio and use BB to make tracks and do some serious audio editing in the DAW. Thoughts, ideas, opinions? Edit: I asked this to the tech support chat and they didn't have an answer. They said they would have to research it and get back to me.

David, everything that I would have said has already been said so all I can add is that this is one hell of a song. Loved it.

Mario, It’s a really fantastic groove. The fretless bass, SWAM trumpet, and electric guitar solo are all superb. This track proves that you are both a MIDI master and a brilliant player. Enjoyed my listen a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi Thanx so much Shigeki. I am not a "MIDI master" or a "brilliant player" but I sure have a ton of fun with my instruments and software.

Marty, Sorry. I mixed up Santa Fe and San Jose. The Bacharach song was "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?" Santa Fe was the location where Rie Miyazawa—a hugely popular Japanese actress—shot a photobook about 40 years ago. It caused a massive sensation because it was a nude photobook. Recently, regulations regarding minors have tightened in Japan, sparking a minor controversy over whether she might have been under 18 at the time the photos were taken. The matter was essentially put to rest when the photographer testified that she was indeed 18, but the absolute truth remains unclear. Since one cannot be prosecuted under retroactive laws, we can still easily buy the photobook at used bookstores today. That concludes my correction. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

… Great track. The drums give this a nice loping feel/groove. Excellent playing and a solid mix. … Thanks Bob! I wasn’t sure about the drums and considered ‘2026-ing’ them, so I am glad they resonated. Cool song, I like the somewhat canon-like progression of the guitar parts. Relaxing. Thanks B.D.! I never touched a guitar when writing this - it was all done with BIAB notation playing midi general patch Jazz Guitar, but I am happy I wrote something that I (nearly) could play in 2026. Definite strains of Mike Oldfield going on here, and not surprisingly given his influence in your formative years. This is a great divergence from you, not that there’s anything wrong with the songs you’re producing, but this adds a different creative direction for you. I loved it, a bouncy number with subtle changes which referenced the marching tribesmen. Watch out Mario, I think Andrew’s gunning for your instrumental crown! Hi Lee! I think you’re right - I have vague memories when writing that BIAB gave me multi-instrument capabilities. I wrote a few instrumentals back then (probably 20 or so) because I was reluctant to sing and had yet discovered or acquired the means anyway. I think Mario’s mantle is well and truly safe - at least from this writer. Ah, such a fine guitar sound. i really enjoy how you give us the story of the song, and especially love the result. i like how you got the title from the style. Awaiting the hunters could be a tune the shopkeepers at the hunting lodge would play. Or are the animals waiting for the them. The bass keeps a fine steady beat, and i like how various instruments come and go. Well produced. Much enjoyed --3 times. Thanks Marty. The guitar sound greatly improved when I added the ‘Silica beads’ impulse response effect. The bass timing was aided by some time stretching, particularly in the opening bars. Even with a recording metronome turned on, my fingers take a few bars to get in sync, but what would one expect from a rhythm guitarist trying to play bass!  … The reverb on the drums works really well. The length of the song is also just right. … Thanks Andi! I wasn’t sure about the reverb, so I am glad it appealed to you. There was a temptation to lengthen the piece, but I think it would have overdone it without any serious variation to keep it fresh for the listener. It's a cheerful song with a folk feel. I really like the blend of instruments. Very pleasant to listen to. Thanks Laurent! You’ve expressed that well. When writing, I never had a sense that those waiting were bored - they were just going about their routine business. Thank you to all for listening and commenting! Andrew

… The lyrics are certainly nonsensical, but I actually think that writing lyrics with that specific intent is incredibly difficult. The video featuring the lyrics was also very entertaining. Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot. … Thank you Shigeki! In the writing process, I found I could have easily overthought the writing of nonsense, and I think I wrote above about a ‘mechanical’ method to write it. The video editing helped me form a connection between the nonsense and YouTube reaction videos. Thanks for listening and watching! Andrew

This is literally unbelievable. This sort of thing shouldn't be encouraged. Despite being outdoors, in a space that's terrible for recording, and with no microphones being set up, the audio is clear and balanced. That's because what's being heard is a studio recording, not a live recording. I've no doubt that the people in the video are the same as those in the studio recording. But the performance shown here? Fake. Also, Vivaldi's works weren't "lost to antiquity". Rather, a large cache of previously lost music was found. But his most famous works (like "The Seasons") were never lost.

Hi Andi and Deej! This has ‘classic rock ballad’ written all over it! My favourite section is where the band Roos back, the cello(?) supports, then the band re-enters. Good stuff. Well done to all involved. Andrew PS I love Deej’s falsetto parts. Hi Andrew, Thanks so much for your feedback. Yes, the cello part and the band’s entrance are a highlight of the song. I cut the distorted guitar part from a different section ;-) BiaB really had a stroke of genius there. Thanks again, Andrew, Andi ;-)

Nice idea to use peregrine as a metaphor for not settling down, "I don't believe in staying" - beautiful lyrical imagery built around the theme. The wistfulness in the melody and the chords are really emphasized by your wonderful vocals. The chorus highlights how the peregrine takes to its wings. The band, especially the horns, is very enjoyable to listen to. Janne

there are various other scenarios like i stem split in the app...but some stems are not up to par. can then one tell the app to remodel the stem.. ie now a high audio quality stem is created. for example lets say the sax stem isnt high quality...thus remodel useing AI. SMP doesn't perform AI audio generation. It will split tracks into types of audio, but it doesn't create or regenerate audio in the way you are asking.

Janne, I'm completely blown away, and rendered speechless, by this incredible review of yours. I think it's easily the best review I have ever received for a song of mine, and I'm so grateful that the song resonated with you like this. What can I say, except for "thank you". I really have no other words.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
