I would expect it to just be a checkbox setting in the looper properties, not mandatory. Thanks for the repeats suggestion, that is working for me as a stopgap.

No .wav or .flac files? Are those unnecessary? How can I be sure which files are unnecessary, to be deleted?

A little over a year ago, I taught myself to play electric lead (in one long night). There's been a whole bunch of noise in our house since. I have a hard time putting down my guitar(s) - or doing anything else. At the beginning, I had little knowledge of amps or guitar effects. It was all a mystery. (No longer the case). Along the way, I tried as many amps as I could get my hands on. The free ones first and later many of the gotta-pay-for ones. Took me a long time before I was willing to pay for S-Gear, even though Tom Adams and Dave Bell both swear by it. They were right. It is THE only one you need. The one you should have if you are serious about software amps. Hands down, I could give opinions on all the others if anyone wants to know.... BUT.... There is one free amp - and all the typical effects you might need - that is well worth your time if you are looking for a freebee... Get everything on this page: https://www.nembriniaudio.com/collections/free Load up the standalone host (NA Live Rig) and play... It is Sweeeeeeet! It is my 2nd go-to. (Close to the sound quality of S-gear). (And I have Amplitube 5 MAX - with every amp and effect you could ever think of...good stuff, but...) (And Guitar Rig Pro 7 - which ends up very far down on my list) (And BIAS FX.... and.... and....and.... etc...etc...)

Hello, Sometimes I need to insert , say, 4 bars to match the song loaded in ACW. I have already imported the song , created the bars, chords, etc. My problem is that I cannot ind the way to insert bars ONLY in the CHORDs. WHen I insert a bar, the audio ile, also creates those bars (silence) in the audio waveform. Any help is appreciated. THanks in advance. Montxo

"but I feel things might be finally moving in the right direction." Lee, you are tough one to please, but I am glad you've appreciated real progress that was made! I will repeat bits of what I've said in another thread: It's great that finally we have VST3, options for Chord Track, single Library and a good progress was made on UI. However, now is the right time for PGM to tighten up a lot of things that relate to workflow. Complete unfinished features, consistency of navigation, zoom, transport, cursor, known bugs etc. So BIAB becomes a fully modular piece of composing software that feels premium. The most productive leap since I started using BIAB was 2025, when PGM created and curated several pinned topics on UI in wishlist. They made known that they are open to particular change, gathered focused opinions and it turned out better than expected. Vast majority of people liked new UI. I feel that rather than just throwing ideas into wishlist well, PGM has to step up and set the tone for 2027 release, just as it did in 2025 (for 2026).

Janne, a fantastic song about a very important topic, protecting the earth. Before my wife had her accident we used to walk a lot. Nothing upsets me more than to be on a nature trail and see liter, i.e. cans, bottles, cigarette packages and butts, etc. An excellent production. Thanks Mario for your lovely feedback  Yep, the most pleasant places in nature are those where there are no signs of human activity. Janne

Amazing dance band that brings joy to every face - and lightness to the wallet. Great to see you guys play in the Live Ai concert, just wondering why the bass player needs five different instruments during one song  Excellent arrangement, those horns sound really funky, the live feel is well present. Great vocals, and very pleasant harmonies. And I surely enjoyed the sonic charm and the skills of all the players, Dave's solo is so hot that the smoke alarm must have had trouble holding back its scream. If I could ask for something, the bass solo would have been much longer  Janne

Cute little ditty, Mario. Washboard & squeeze box. The only thing missing is a juice harp. I like it! Thanx Paul, I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment on my little ditty. Yes a jaw harp would have been a good addition. I'll try to remember that if/when I do another "porch orchestra"! Mario, the lyrics are very tasty and the retro feel of the accompaniment is great. Laurent Thanx so much Laurent. I had fun with those lyrics.

A pleasant pop song, what else to expect That chord progression leaves a luscious aftertaste - you surely know how to keep it interesting - and you surely know that I love maj7ths The melody is beautiful and the lead vocalist brings out its nuances nicely (although his breathiness sounds bit harsh). The arrangement & mix is mellow but not too sweet, the bass and the drums add the needed punch. And I like how all the instruments sound equal and let the song shine. Nice hopeful message. Janne

One easy fix would be to close the program and delete the file MySetup.dk from the bb\Preferences folder Considering improvements and reducing potential frustration for users, could this become an automated process when these conditions occur? That would scare me a bit, and it would have to pause to allow you to save your existing settings (unless it automated that, too). How about a compromise: add a menu option to do this 'complete' reset, within Preferences, Return to Factory Settings? Have that option remove all the files that need to be handled to accomplish a 'complete' reset. Then add a prompt in a yellow message box that strongly suggests taking the action, when warranted. Something like that would still give us control and avoid the instructions that are sometimes given that require users to navigate and delete files. I went for many years never having to do Return to Factory Settings. Then certain years, I had to do it frequently. I suppose that's OK, and even I as a programmer appreciate having a menu option to do that. But I have to wonder when someone asks in the forum about a problem and the answer is that they have to find then delete files. That could seem unnecessarily hazardous to many users, I think.

“Elements of laughter Bouncing down the street Outside the café Where we would meet Serendipity Or my destiny I just can’t afford to stop Outside the ice cream shop Under the midday heat” What a great start to a great lyric! This reminded Janice of one of her favorite quotes: “Be so happy that when others look at you they become happy too.” And listening to your song made us happy. We always like your vocal arrangements and this one is excellent. The early 60’s band feel and groove is most cool. Stellar in mix, write, vocals and the session guys. Enjoyed it! J&B

Love that sidestick beat. You two are by far my favorite band (well, tied with Janice, Bud & Peter). This song has such a contagious feel. It controls my body. Of course, your guitar work is brilliant --heck the whole song is brilliant. And Chris is an outstanding collaborator --and boy she can sing. Love everything you do, you two.

Noel, I am so glad you are going through these unfinished gems. A wonderful melody and a cool lift of bounce from the band. LOVE the lyrics, and Natalie is my fav from Synth V. Yep, that piano is so good. The whole band does exactly what it needs to do and when it needs to do it.

“In the quiet of nights, when the stars start to glow
I gather the strength from the seeds that we sowed
The lessons of love, like the breeze in the trees
Life is a game with no guarantees” So well stated. Love the arrangement, the mix and the band. Excellent mandolin. We can hear the emotion in your fine vocal ... and it is very effective. SOUL! We like the take on heartbreak that shows the heartbroken. But with a positive and kind feeling towards the heartbreaker. Kudos! J&B

Confused. I've been using VSTSynthfont64 Vsti, that is included with Band in a Box for quite a while. I have also been using Coolsoft MIDIMapper for years, for other purposes. I set it up in MIDI driver preferences tab, unchecking my VSTi synth (as instructed by the prompts). I tried it out and it kind of worked (heard playback), but The default synth gets crossed out in the mixer No level movement shows on the mixer Master Volume Meter when playing. Master volume control no affect. BIAB 2026 Build 1224. I must have missed something.... Anyone?
