Hey Torrey, Nicely done mate. Well sung and produced. I couldn’t agree with you more that good songs (chart songs) are few and far between these days. It’s like the stream and download generation has sucked the lifeblood and originality out of the current music scene. But hey, your song is original and genuine. I really enjoyed my listen. Kind regards.

A very reasonable suggestion. If there were several different pre-made color format layouts available, the user could quickly select one that suits their needs best.

Here is one for you computer pros. If one copies the entire BB folder to a new machine then installs over it the latest BiaB/RB programs, not the data, will the new install put in the registry stuff so BiaB/RB will work? Mario, As far as I know, other than registering the PG Music fonts neither Band-in-a-Box nor RealBand have entries in the Windows registry. That is the main reason they are installed under the installation drive letter instead of under a Program Files folder. That's why you can use an external drive without having to install the program first.

Very enjoyable rendition of this familiar tune. I think the first version I ever heard was by the Irish Rovers. Vocal is good. It could be lowered in volume because it is overpowering your excellent instrumentation.

Dan is right (he usually is) about what I consider the power of inertia. Since we started in an era of very few styles, we just kept doing it ourselves. However, I was one of Bob 'Notes' Norton's first customers, after reading his ad in Recording Magazine. I have on occasion ordered from him when there was a song I had to learn in a hurry (usually a request for a wedding). The rest of my secrets, I ain't saying ...

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

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.
