Beautiful, both sonically and visually. The vocals give the whole thing a cool world music vibe, which I really like. Very good ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Thanks B.D.! I also like that world favour. Plus, since it's a made up language, don't have to worry about the piece being let down by bad lyrics. The fewer things to get wrong, the better

This is a big loss for country music. IMHO Coe was at his best during the outlaw years. What I didn't know about him was how many great songs he composed. He was and still is one of my favorite country musicians. RIP outlaw #1

When you select that menu item, does (1) nothing happen at all? Or (2) does the Email Song dialog open but nothing happens when you press [Send Mail]. I would expect it to launch Mail when you press Send Mail. If the problem is (2), then it could be some specific characters in the song or style file name that are messing it up. Try saving the song with a very simple filename like 'test.sgu' and see if it then works.

To clarify: The style was HESIT8.STY and when I launched BIAB yes I heard the metronome (like a stick on the the snare). When I load the SATIORK4, I have no sound at all. 1 - Is it correct that you do not hear any MIDI at all? Also try ZZJAZZ.STY. 2 - When you load a RealStyle (_HESIT8.STY is only RealTracks, no MIDI), you hear a metronome click. Do you ALSO hear the other instruments playing or ONLY that "metronome" sound? (or whatever the drum click is). Maybe you have some unexpected plugin selected. Try this - close Band-in-a-Box, and open the "Plugin Settings" folder in your Band-in-a-Box folder. Find and delete any DefaultSynth*.tgs and plugin_list*.txt files you see there. Open Band-in-a-Box and see if that fixed it (Band-in-a-Box will re-create these files as needed). Also, in your other thread I had a request that you may not have seen. I'll repeat it here: With Band-in-a-Box closed, please find the intrface.bbm file in the 'Applications/Band-in-a-Box/Preferences' folder. Zip this file (right-click on it and compress), and then email this zip file as an attachment to support with a message to refer to this forum thread. You can then try renaming the file intrface_old.bbm and running Band-in-a-Box to see if the problem happens with default settings. (The intrface_old is a backup of your settings.)

Is This Funk Is this funk or is this a rhetorical question? BiaB style - Funkafy - Slow, Swing, 16 Bluesy Tempo 95 BPM I replaced the bass and piano track with these Supermiditracks: Bass - 3688 - Bass, synth, Funk Jeff - EV110 = sound source - Ample Bass - YinYang - Slap Bass Piano - 2160 - Piano, Electric, Rhythm = sound source - Kontakt - Clavinet - sterio auto wah I deleted the balance of the style tracks. The drum track is from Groovemonkee's funk MIDI loops sound source - SSD-5 - Deluxe Funk 01 I am playing, via my keyboard, the Hollywood Brass tracks (a B-day gift) Via my breath and keyboard controller the Swam rock flute. I am also playing the lead guitar track.

Yes, there is a tempo change towards the end. Let’s say the song slows down from 155 to 100 for a measure. Immediately after that, the song goes back to the original 155 and ends about 6 measures later, still at 155. You’ve just highlighted one of the main reasons I wanted to use a click track in the first place. I.E. because I’ve got to come back in playing at the moment the song returns to the original tempo. Without the click, it’s pretty impossible for me to do that. I’m rhythmically inept even at a steady tempo! The program makes the tempo switch fine the first time through, but then as I try to polish the ending via punch-in looping, the click goes all over the place. The song loops back to the punch-in start point with the click all misaligned. I had to manually record the ending a few times without the use of punch-in looping.

Interesting. IF one could type something like (verse 1) add lyrics, (verse 2) add lyrics, (chorus) add lyrics, etc this could be very beneficial to songwriters, or as backing tracks for instrumentalist. However I can also see another group of all AI generated songs created by non-musicians coming our way. This software is not for me but I can see others may benefit from it. I am certainly not going to spend $6 a month let alone $250 a month to have fun with music. I have BiaB for that!

Yes I have also tried to change the colors of the GUI using this dropdown list. Very time consuming one has to try to identify the name for each item in the gui and then change the color for it. Some items are easy to find other are very time consuming to find beacuse of the inconsistency in the naming of the items, especially the text of the various items in the top row eg the area taking in the SONG TITLE/STYLE/BPM/KEY etc. Problem is that other items in the gui with text parts often are named with "text" or similar but för the top row items they are named "readout xxxx" eg "readout song name", "read out style name" etc. And one has to pick them one by one. I also wanted to get rid of the "green color" it is very hard to read. I have now managed to change the colors of all items in the top row except for the up/down arrow beside the BPM it is still green but I leave it as is. I don't know how much time I have spent in the past trying to change the color of the gui. One has to pick and configure one item at a time and starting the process all over every time with open the preferences, open the display options, select the drop down list, try to identify the correct item from the namings, try if it worked, then retry or do the next item .... Why not just display the colors beside the names in the dropdown list. The good thing is that it is possible to configure the colors of the gui.

Floyd you are a man of many talents. I think you could master any instrument you wanted to master. Great mandolin chops. Excellent job. PS I have a couple of >100 year old mandolins hanging on my wall; my uncle willed them to me. I also have a new mandolin hanging along side them. You gave me inspiration to attempt playing it again. I hope the frets are wider!

Very cool, Charlie. Never looked at this tab before, but it's quite powerful. If one sorts by the Instrument column, the drum tracks are found at the top of the list as instrument <No Patch Change>.
