Based on some stuff I read here (and elsewhere) I purchased Izotope's / NI's Music Production Suite 8.5 this last weekend. While searching for tips and tutorials I found this thread. Did I throw my money away? Is there actually a chance they could shut everything down? If they did shut it down would we have any recourse?

Drag works with method mentioned by Brian. There is another way you can try. From the mixer. Grab the header of Midi track and drag it directly to DAW. However... it was asked for some time to be able to save individual tracks for midi. I proposed to do it similar as you would with standard RT/RD tracks (Right clicking on track>save track as WAV option): Same for Midi tracks: Right click on track >Name IT>Select folder>Save. Unfortunately, still no way that I know of to save individual MIDI track(s) for project.

Harris. The titular 'Sue' refers to actress and talent agent Sue Carol. Popular versions in 1928 were by Earl Burtnett (vocal by the Biltmore Trio) and by Ben Pollack (vocal by Franklyn Baur). It has become a popular jazz standard, with versions recorded by many artists. It's also widely popular among jug bands. In my version I sing and play guitar, mandolins (Napolitan & Octave) and banjos (Tenor & Plectrum). I produced this at my home with Band in a Box and Reaper. ****** Song Summary ************* Key=G , Tempo 160, Length (m:s)=2:45 Style is _BIGEASY.STY (Big Easy New Orleans Old and New) RealTracks used: RealTracks in style: ~~1618:Tuba, DixielandFast Sw 165 RealTracks in style: 2165:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm NewOrleansSwinginPop Sw 130 RealDrums in style:NewOrleansShuffle^04-a:Kick Shuffle , b:Ride, Shuffle + melody Vibraphone

A couple of the things worth remembering about studios. Studios want mics that are very predictable and well-behaved so they don't waste time and effort (and credibility?) getting things to work well. It good marketing to have kit that the average guy can't or won't afford.

I use a PC with Windows 11. After a recent update my songs are all going into a BB folder on OneDrive. It's not convenient as I can't easily see my recent history or quickly access my songs. I'd like my songs to be stored on my C file with an option to back up toOneDrive. Would appreciate, easiest route, step by step guide to sort. Thank you. I think the other answers may be missing the issue here; sorry if I'm wrong. Windows 11 automatically assigns a number of areas to OneDrive ... forgive me that I can't presently remember exactly what. I do know that "My Documents" from the file browser side-bar goes to OneDrive, and I suspect the desktop, music and videos also all do. I think that the BiaB Songs folder (default C:/bb/Song) probably does not. I suspect that you're saving your songs to somewhere that Windows11 automatically assigns to OneDrive. I realised this when I found that I had two different folders for something that appeared to have the same name, but one of them was in OneDrive. Again I can't remember for certain exactly what, but I suspect it was C:/users/gordon/Documents and C:/users/gordon/OneDrive/Documents. Hopefully that will give some clues. FYI, one reason I can't remember is that I turned off OneDrive and remapped the shortcuts, though the remapping is a bit suspect ... not every application honours it. I keep my own songs in C:/bb/Songs/Gordon/ and then a hierarchy mostly based on A...Z.

best idea is to post the midi file somewhere so people can test. be aware if you got this midi from a third party sometimes there are embedded commands you have to analyse in the event editor and deal with. other than that i cant help further as im not a notation/lead sheet pro. my big weakness. anyhoo post the midi somewhere so it can be tested out...hopefully other users can jump in. om

Your percussion section is almost hypnotic. I really like that. Of course, I really LOVE the lyrics - you’re singing about something that’s very close to my heart. And you do it really well. Enjoyed my listens a lot ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Thanks, Brain. Yeah, i do get carried away in the percussion tracks, especially in a song like this. i never use -or almost never use-- any of the preset tracks in EZD because i like writing them myself. A really well sorted arrangement on this one Marty. That and a life lesson to appreciate all the beauty that surrounds us. Exceptional lyrics. A lot of thought put into the fine details, like the chimes etc. Well done Marty, made me stop and think. Kind regards. Thanks, Lee. Glad you liked the chimes too. It just seemed appropriate there. Marty. I love the natural images and the instrumental tones. I think your vocal can come up a couple of dbs. Vic Thanks, Vic. My vocal should never come up --that's why i like to sing behind a wall of sound. Hi, Marty. It's a lovely reminder to slow down and take in what we take for granted. It's an interesting approach to use minor chords on a pleasant peaceful theme and it works like a Moody Blues song, and that's a very good thing. The tempo compliments the feeling of slowing down to look around. Very nice work! John Thanks, John. I like the Moody Blues connection. This one needed a minor key to keep the mood receptive --if that makes any sense.

Hi, I wonder if someone can check this for me. I load in a midi file, select the vocal track and then goto lead sheet window I set the lead sheet to view the vocal and to show highlight played notes Play the midi file Highlited notes show until the bars near the end then don't show then resume to show at last or preceding bar. Regards George P.S. see image. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32528&filename=Lead sheet options.png)

I told you, Brain! That censorship watchdog here is strict. What it did result in, however, is a totally unreadable title, which in turn generates a lot of interest! If this Forum was placed in my country, or yours, the watchdog would have added some more f**k words, I think. I also told you how great the song is! And the vocals, wow! Also the lyrics and video are great too. I really enjoyed it all. But I wouldn't make it, myself. My voice is too low and it's a bit too wild for me. Well..., in about a month or so I will release a House song. Than maybe we can compete about wildness ;-) Hans Thank you so much for your kind words and for your support here and on YouTube, Hans. MUCH appreciated I don't really do "wild" things just for the sake of being wild. I have emotions, and I try to express them using the same words I would use if I were talking to you in real life. The lyrics of this song reflect (more or less) what my wife and I talk about after we’ve heard the morning news. Including the swear words. Minus the rhymes, though

Hans, Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I am really glad you like this tune. I am truly grateful to the vocalist and the pianist. By the way, thank you for your comment in Chinese, but I am Japanese. However, please don't worry about the mistake. I myself also often get Europeans' countries wrong. Regarding your question, the piano is a grand piano in the recording studio that our music circle frequently uses. It's YAMAHA. The drums and bass are BIAB (MIDI). I am always very encouraged by your kind words. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Hans, Great song! The vocals, somewhat resembling John Lennon's, sing a wonderful melody. The folk-rock style melody is truly great. The video also matches the song perfectly. Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Laurent, Is this a story about the Mexican mafia? In any case, what an incredible video. The music, along with the lyrics, matches this video perfectly. The vocal of Suno is also wonderful. I'm always amazed by the breadth of your musical genres. Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Also you can request a style to be made by PG Music in the Styles Wishlist forum. It helps them greatly if you provide an audio sample. Yes, this is always a great option! This helps us figure out what kind of sounds or styles and genres people are looking for.

That sounds so familiar TuneMonger. A very good friend of mine and I also struggled to get decent demos (way back when). BIAB would have helped tremendously for sure! I wonder too if a commercially successful song ever used BIAB. But at least today we can easily make very professional sounding demos.
