I seem to have no issues at all with Fender Studio Pro and midi. I am on Windows 11 with the 25H2 KB5079473 patch and I am using a Presonus AudioBox iTwo audio interface. I have a Akai MPK mini and a Presonus Faderport connected via USB midi. Is there something I am missing here? Just wondering: 1) are you running UC and 2) if so, what version? Inquiring minds...

Remember When Remember when we had small jazz lounges? Even some hotels had them. Remember when the bartender would yell last call and I everyone would run to the bar to get one last drink? Then about 10 minutes later the band would play the last song, always a slow song. Well grab your significant other and dance to this last call slow song. BiaB style - Jazz Ballard w/ Electric Piano Tempo - 60 BPM Bass - Ample Bass - Upright Piano - Lounge Lizard - tine - Dream Line Drums - RD from the style I am quietly playing the rhythm guitar, my Jay Turser jazz box. Also via my breath and keyboard controllers the Swam tenor sax and trumpet.

Does anyone know if there is any way to manually enter parameters directly instead of having to use the tiny sliders in the Nectar interface? In Reaper, for example, I prefer to right-click on sliders and knobs and then type in a numeric value to allow for more precision. But, in Nectar I have not been able to figure out how to do that. I did figure out two work-arounds that are useful. 1) if you hold down shift or ctrl while clicking a slider in a module (and in some other places) you get a white focus box around the slider that allows you to use the up/down arrow keys to adjust the slider position 2) if you save your settings as a preset you can open the presets XML file and *carefully* edit parameters directly. the Nectar 4 preset files you create are located here on Windows, C:\Users\[username]\Documents\iZotope\Nectar\User Presets\Global Presets\ All you need to do for setting a numeric value for the sliders in your example is double click on the mix text in the icon under the mix slider and it will allow you to enter the value you would like. Hope this helps.

Hello friends 🎶 I've been having trouble with BIAB for a while now. I've done some research to see what the problem might be, and it seems to be an incompatibility with my Mac system (Sequoia 15.7.4) on my rather old Apple M1 Max (32GB RAM). Only BIAB is causing the issue; I also use Logic and have no problems with it. I should also mention that I have a standard installation on my internal hard drive, but I can also use the application from an external drive, and both have the same problems. I've tried several versions of BIAB Audiophile, always making clones, and I've tried versions 2024 and 2025 as received from P.G. Music, as well as the latest update, BIAB-904. The symptoms are as follows: BIAB is behaving strangely. For example, it might change the display preferences, such as the number of columns, suddenly switching from 8 to 1, or it might display the countdown timer even though I had removed it. Most importantly, I can no longer export my files by dragging and dropping them onto the icons; I have to use the menus to do this. It also changes the instrument names and gets confused. In short, I have the impression there's a problem with the display, but I don't know where to start to find the culprit. I'd like to try starting without extensions, if possible, like we used to do with older Mac systems, to see what happens, but I haven't kept up with the maintenance for the newer systems. If you have any ideas, please give me a starting point. Thanks everyone.-Phil-

Ron, this small town boy who very rarely goes into a city loves this song. Your arrangement and vocals are your best to date IMHO. The backing vocals and band are perfect for this song and your mix is spot on. Like I said I loved it. PS - Don't worry about the length for the radio plays; it should be on the radio right now. Alice's Restaurant was 15 minutes long, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida was 17 minutes long.

I've been away from the Showcase for a while so I haven't heard a Torrey Bliss song for quite a time. This is great. I'd forgotten how professional your songs sound. Your voice, the band, the production are all first class. I really enjoyed this one. Thank you. Mike Thanks Mike! I really appreciate your comments! TB

Janne That is a complex arrangement, both melodically and instrumentally. That doesn't surprise though because everything you post carries those qualities! You've created something very interesting here! You obviously spent a considerable amount of time doing this! Take care, TB

This one almost goit past me, don't know how I missed it. Nice song, love the nautical allegory, and the scat singing at the end. How many songs have you written now? More than all the sonnets you wrote, I'll bet! Great work, Babumusic owes you a raise!

You know what's best, Mike. I really like how you say this one is more romantic than the previous version, and it's about your wife. SMILE! I listened a 3 times. The first was to absorb the feeling, the feeling you put into it and what i got out of it. I melted with the strings, then my ears latched onto the bass and i REALLY loved that ride. By the end i was dancing. The second and third times were to see if I could come up with some constructive feedback for you. But they both indicated that you are far better than i at mix/production. Arrangement is always a matter of taste and opinions. IN my opinion you have great taste. I really like how you feature each part with the perfect instrument, and how you use dynamics to keep the listener happy. I was happy throghout. Tell Leonie i said she married the best. Wow, thanks Marty. This might be the best review I have ever received. I always look forward to your comments - and not just for my songs - because they are always insightful and usually humorous. Thanks again, Mike

Hans, great combination of words and music, and an old story told in a new, unique way. The chorus is a great unforgettable hook. This is a great song that cannot be overlooked and really should be picked up by a popular recording artist. I very much like the Mark Knopfler style of guitar at the beginning. Beautiful job of songwriting!

Hey, Herb. I went to your site to listen to a couple of songs. You're far ahead of me in musicianship and I much admire your work. Terrific country songwriting and I liked your Seasons instrumental that depicts how autumn feels. I agree the best songs are from the heart. Hans, yep, Jenny did a knockout job with the vocals! I really like the emphasis and inflections she put on the words. Her website is at https://www.jennymcgregor.com.au/home. I'm surprised at the listens the song got in the last week. It's interesting to see what kind of songs appeal or not appeal to an audience. What made "Equal" interesting on Broadjam's charts is that it was the UK, European, and Australian nations, and women in all places that pushed the song to #2 Earth. Hey, Marty! I had that catchy tune for a couple of decades until I decided what to write about, and Jenny made it rock! I have lots of stories starting with living in a very strict, conservative household, kept hidden because I was the embarrassment of my family as a "special child," and floundering my way and getting kicked around when I finally went into the world not knowing how to blend in...and living in places like Idaho and Arizona where my liberal views and not coming across like a "real man" were not appreciated. I got married just before turning 50 which infuriated my parents who thought I should never marry, and, upon retiring at 68, made a break from Phoenix to California! My wife, Lora, was a special education teacher and was the one who discovered I had Asperger Syndrome, which no medical facility previously was able to figure out. It was confirmed a couple years later by a psychologist and psychiatrist. My songs are an autobiography. Just as David Crosby said on "Four Way Street," that's what you have to write about if you're going to get down to something that means anything. You really come up with a lot of variety in your tunes, they're always lively and terrific listens!

Herb, I understand about "keeping with the plan". It's hard to beat the sound of the realtracks unless there's some sophisticated syncopation going on! The track sounds fabulous! Good to hear actual human singing going on. Your Vocal sounds better than any AI stuff that could have been put on it! Great song! Take care, TB I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment. Glad you enjoyed it

Andrew, Really well done. Like TM, your lyric and video made me think of The Road. Good write. A haunting melody and a haunting production (love that opening!) Good vocals. Good mix. Thought provoking. fj Thanks Floyd! Re the opening, I am assuming you're referring to the drums? It was a basic step-input VST drum with just kick and snare. I think I added FX to it, and when I solo'd it, I thought "That gives an atmosphere", so I used it in the intro and outro. I find I this 'accidental creativity' is one of the pleasant joys of arranging and production. Thanks for listening! Andrew
