Hi Dave, A really well produced song. As others have said, your lead, Marty’s bass and Chris’s vocals are all on the mark. Most excellent, kind regards

I now have the tools to build lots of things that I could have never dreamed of in the past. So perhaps if you're looking for some arcane piece of music software that nobody invented give me a shout maybe I can put it together. Here's a look at the music room as it sets now.

Hi Mike. The minimum install usually works for me when I need to use this approach. This is the installation that uses the least amount of diskspace. It only loads the barest minimum number of files onto the computer that Windows needs to get the program running. The process includes writing to the registry, adding drivers and adding any needed folders to the c:\program files folder. After running the minimum install, there would only be a minimum change in your used diskspace because the installation will overwrite existing files. Also, after running the minimum install, you would probably need to reload the most recent update for your version of BIAB/RB. --Noel

My 2026 version is on the latest build and I am still getting the disappearing chord builder. Shouldn’t that have been fixed by now? What am I missing? What build number is the latest build you are using?

That's an interesting take on it, WB. I may have to explore that one, pick out a country style, and see how a female country vocalist would do on it. A lot of songs can be versatile and go from one genre into another. John

Hey, WB. That's Jenny McGregor, a Scottish songwriter and musician now in Pottsville, New South Wales, Australia. You won't find her on Audimee! "Equal!" is more the lilting style of song that I write. All of the instruments are Band in a Box, which changed my musical life entirely! I can read music, compose, but after 50 years, I'm still a fumbling uncoordinated novice guitar player. Band in a Box opened up actually making productions of my songs instead of making horrible demos with just my guitar.

Hey, WB! What I'd really like to do is have Solohead (Vladimir Bielik from Ukraine) do the vocals. He's on FiveRR and he did the vocals for Summer Day and he did a wonderful job. To me that would be the best solution. Greyhound Bus has the most unusual musical structure I've done. It's tricky. Audimee sometimes works; most of the time it doesn't. But I will give it credit for being royalty-free and not gathering data from other copyrighted works. We're certainly in a different kind of world now! In the meanwhile, I may re-record my vocals and see how they would work in the song. John

Really cool redo Dave. I think the new mixes and redo sound so much better. I think would contributes it is better updated equipment and of course more years of experience. I know my DAW (now Fender Studio Pro) is so much better for production, mixing and mastering. Everyone is spot on. Everything sits so good in the mix.. Well done

Tasty one, Floyd. Love the melodic way you're working through the changes, and that TONE is really nice, too. JUST ENOUGH grit to make the stops thicken up while leaving the single note runs with a cool hairiness (doubt if this is the correct technical term, but you'll probably get what I mean). Love your bends as well. This must have been a lot of fun to play. Fun romp for the listener, too!

You lead guitar is sizzling, and I hope keeping you warm. Good jam. I lived in Michigan's upper peninsula before moving to Virginia, so I empathize with your cold situation in NY.

Steve, A old style battery operated media player can do exactly what your asking for and you may already have one onhand sitting in a junk drawer. I'm thinking of something like a Microsoft Zune, Apple iPod or a generic MP3 player. Every media player I've seen can playback MP3, WAV and MP4a and other audio formats. Almost all also can playback a playlist of audio files. Plug a cord into the media player headphone jack and never unplug it so you don't have to worry about the jack wearing out. Make sure you install a fresh battery before every gig. 😁 Jim, we are thinking similarly. A media player might be the way to go, don't have an old one sitting around but that's easy to solve. And capacity doesn't need to be huge, I can't see us playing more that 20 songs tops. As others have mentioned, mini output jacks also make me nervous, especially unbalanced ones. A USB connection might be more reliable and is what I use in my home studio. As far as fresh batteries, I'm thinking that if I design this right the player would be charging while playing its tracks. The one I was looking at has between 16-20 hrs of play time between charges. It take two hours to charge Just how long you planning to gig non-stop? <giggle>

Floyd, I recreated your experience up to a point. Signed out, got the "something wrong" screen. Searched for the song like you did. Found it, clicked on Play. A sign up box appeared. Closed the sign up box (X in the upper right corner) and I could then play it. Not the preferred listener experience, to say the least. Hope they get it straightened out soon...

What a beautiful, nostalgic song. Lyrics paint a peaceful countryside scene of almost forgotten times, glad to hear a refreshing topic. The barns mainly remind me of love scenes in the hay in old Finnish movie. I haven't had much to do with barns, I only remember taking photos of a kestrel chick sitting by a barn couple of years ago. Great arrangement and mix, the BIAB instruments are well chosen, the harmonica is a nice addition and well generated, and Peter's lovely guitar fills always find the right mood with his playing and sounds. The chord progression is very interesting. Another excellent vocal performance, I really enjoyed the last "tell" by Janice, amazing. Janne Thank you so much Janne. We are happy that it brought back memories. We appreciate the nice comments on the lyric, vocal and guitar. Janice was intrigued that you found her progression interesting also. All is appreciated! J&B

Would you, yourself would want to learn another software if all that you needed was to record your vocals or single instrument (1-8 tracks) on top of BIAB arrangement? I definitely would not. I spent MANY hours trying to make BIAB work for me, but I just gave up. I learned, like many others, to use BIAB just for what it is good for: generating backing tracks. I guessing, you wanted a bit more than just getting a few tracks of audio recorded.
