Hi Izzy Showing your tender side vocally there. I've got so used to you belting out the lyrics, that this softer ballad vocal took me by surprise. Hey, I like it. Seems like the mandolin is the norm at the moment, i better get with the plan. Plus the sax towards the end, all really works well together. Great lyrically again, capturing all the nuances that relate to relationships. Such another great composition Izzy. There was about 13 seconds of silence at the end, but i had to listen all the way to the end just in case you slipped a surprise ending or a Beatlesque reversed track to end on!! Kind regards

I have this same problem. Just upgraded from 2025 last night: no notation or lead sheet. The other windows (tracks, chords, etc. all work fine). I think the issue is to do with multiple displays. @dimtass do you have multiple displays? I tried Ctrl+Click and discovered that these DO open in new windows - on my laptop monitor, when the main program window is on my extended external monitor. So, I unplugged the monitor and now my notation windows display in the main UI. Also, If I change the external monitor from "extended" to "main" in the Mac settings, then I see what I expect - notation/lead sheet in the main UI. With this working, I switched back to the way I want, with the laptop screen as main and external monitor as extended. The notation window persisted, BUT when I closed and reopened it (Shift+Click) it did not display again. Another data point for your troubleshooting: When I go to mission control, it shows that the notation window is somehow active, but is not visible otherwise (see large screenshot). And, I get a warning when opening the lead sheet/notation - not intentionally in a separate/floating window, just clicking on it, that the display has been moved to a different monitor (see small screenshot). Thanks in advance for investigating this.

what you are saying does not make sense. I purchased UltraPak+ a long time ago, I have never had to do those expensive upgrades in the past and if that is the policy this will be my last upgrade to be honest. Also the marketing material clearly stated that I would be getting these new realtracks. Also the real tracks were copied to my computer by the installer! they just don't show up in in the picker. As usual this product has the most complicated upgrade procedure known to mankind.

FWIW I just downloaded the main program in about 40 seconds (the new Full main program Install) as a test If you are downloading all the Realtracks and stuff as well, yeah, that takes a while. 100Kbs is slow, but even at 360Mbs it takes a while. Maybe an internet routing issue (?) I am in the US but quite a distance from PGMusic

Bob That is a great song choice to cover and you absolutely nailed it and made it your own both vocally and harpilly ( new word I made). Keep these hits coming man, I'm getting addicted to them. Best Regards Izzy.

An idea that might work is to have two tracks, one with the flanger effect and one without. Then use Bar Settings function <F5> to mute / un-mute the parts as required.

Creative and mystic combination of Eastern and Western music, hypnotic rhythm from the snake charmer of our forum. Great selection of instruments work magically together. I'm enchanted, no one else seems to be having as much fun with BIAB as you are, there are no limits to your toolbox. Could be played in a James Bond movie when he tries to survive in an oriental bazaar. Janne Thanx so much Janne for this fantastic review. Yes, I am having a ton of fun with BiaB.

When I opened BIAB (UltraPak 2026) just now, I got an Apple message to say that this app will not open with the next OS update. Will PG Music provide a remedy?

While I don't relate to the lyrics - though they're totally original in theme - I quote my YouTube comment: "This is a world class song on every level. I can easily imagine many top professional vocalists wanting to cover it." I empathise with your reply … but I'll message you with more. That's really nice of you, Chay  Now I just need to get the phone numbers of these pros

For anyone else interested .. This is my 'stash' click Simple MIDI track that can be imported into any song and just works (for 100 measures) Cut or copy for length as needed. I call it Click.MID, it even names the track CLICK in many DAWs https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GkhVxSnQ7LSJYw9VWEBx2cqrmYaIDeR8/view?usp=drive_link No need to understand MIDI, just import to a blank track and it plays a 1/4 note side-stick on your default synth for 100 measures (a Click track), following tempo changes etc. /Cowbell version is extra <grin>

Hi Marty! Great song, great singing, good band, and Dave’s lead guitar is filthy! (Good) Great storytelling in the lyrics - K-Dub Ya and I have a songwriting challenge we have to submit soon where the song needs to tell a story, so we’ve got a fine example in your song. Just wondering - is Dinah from the diner? Gee, AI is getting good at video clips. I kept checking the fingers and they’re all accounted for - and no surplus either. Loved it. Andrew Hello, Andrew, and thank you. Ha, yes, Dinah worked in the dinah during the day, and tended bar at night. Check the video where Sue deplanes while crying. Notice the random strangers who stay close behind her to see what her guy says about Alice. Hi Marty, Man, such a great song! Love the lyrics, very clever. Great job on the video too, watched it for the first time last time last night. Loved the "clips from the bands past performances" bit especially Thanks to everyone that mentioned my bit. Haha, i like thay typo of watching it for the last time. O' course it probably will be --even i don't usually go back to see it again. Moving on... Man, thanks for all your contributions. Those clips were all failed Ai attempts, like having my twin on drums and our drummer playing guitar. Marty. One of your best lyrics imo. Clever write. Good mix and Dave's with it, too. Vic Thanks, Vic. Much appreciated. Many many many thanks, Ray! Hi Marty You sure can sing and play the blues, and Dave did you proud on the solo. Blues only improve with age, and at 40 years old this is only getting better. Worthy of a jam with Joe B. Kind regards Thanks, Lee. Man, that would be cool having Joe B. and Dave in the same jam.
