No, the software appears to be almost working. The 2026 manual says on page 15 to highlight the style you want to audition (or preview). So, when I double-click on a style in StylePicker, it tells me it is auditioning the style but I don't hear anything. Note the manual says this: "You can sort the list of styles by column or listen to an instant preview by double-clicking on a style." Would like to talk to someone in PG Support about this. So, after I entered this I called PG Music Support and I have someone helping me now.

I love how this song sounds right out of the gate, portending musical goodness. Then comes the inventive melody sung by a very good synth voice. I find birds fascinating, so the subject matter was fine by me. Birds can't smell, I wonder if people know that. They're all about eyesight. It's over too quickly, but a very good late bridge/outro leaves the listener satisfied. Good work once again, Janne!

. . .when you want to find a substitute, the button OK and Generate now does not do anything. . . . I have seen this same behavior . . . Thought it was just me doing something wrong . . .

Sounds really good. Would be interested in the mixing & mastering process and what audio effects plugins are used, and how AI is utilized as well. Hi all, If anyone is curious, I am happy to share the tools I have been using and how they fit into my workflow. Joanne

I was just thinking about this. For some reason, my main output audio device keeps getting changed. I'll find it, but I have to make some tests of what combination of programs causes it. In the meantime, the sure-fire solution is to restart the computer, so I just shut it down at night. Quarter century? You're a newcomer  . I've built all my PCs since 1983. [Any Windows users, what I think is causing my audio driver reset is that checkbox in the Device Manager that says "Allow this program to take control of audio devices" or something like that. It's not consistent how you find that setting for all programs. I'm working on it...]

I think I'd be one of those f*****s if I don't give good review for this song  F-word used here as an instrument, usually used as a punctuation mark by young people, I can handle that but hopefully in smaller doses next time  You've managed to get the maximum amount of anger out of the vocalist. And together with the tight guitar band and great selection of BIAB instruments, this grows into the epic Praise Worship Uptempo song as the style describes. The dynamics is once again admirable, both in the arrangement and the vocal work. I sign your message, why is it more ok to bomb children, but not to say f***, expressing as loudly as possible the desperation of fighting against real problems that they want to sweep under the rag... Glad I joined YouTube more than 18 years ago, so I didn't have to prove my age I really enjoyed the suffering so mission complete Janne

Positive blues that made me feel anti-blues  Upbeat message with clever lyrics and the BIAB shuffle band make the world sunny again. Excellent harmonica playing, fits perfectly with the rest of the band. And the Suno vocalist has enough raspiness to sound natural and bluesy. Great songwriting! Janne

The beautiful and original chord progression, acoustic piano and nylon guitar work together like a charm. Very pleasing and relaxing listening experience, like a journey to a blossoming spring garden that smells different every time. Enjoyed very much. Janne

What a beautiful and warm song, yep, cute love story and the stalking feels innocent enough, especially after seeing the video and its lovely romantic end Your bass has never sounded this pleasant and Dave plays enjoyably happy notes with his guitar. Percussions and vibes add extra excitement. Smooth mix. And the icing on the cake is your always positive voice that sounds like telling a bedtime story - I feel I'm safely falling asleep. Janne

Always know i'm in for a treat when i see the word SWAM in your description. And this one has the added attraction of "Fretless." Hey, truth is i need no description --just the name Mario is enough to let us know it's gonna be special. This one is a no-doubter. Over the fence and out of the park. Cool jazz sounds and a fine progression. Excellent mix and your arrangement is just right. Love that guitar too.

I am a bit confused about the function of changing a key in a BIAB Chorus? I don't believe a key change will effect any chord which you have written in the grid chart. So since you are cycling the chord chart, which is not changing, I am not sure you should expect to hear any thing different. Perhaps, you may be assuming that the generation of the tracks will be different based on the key. That I can not confirm or refute. But I have never seen that happen in BIAB.

Oh, man, for the first 29 seconds i kept checking wires and hitting the side of the computer. No sound. I freaked. Then... AHHHHHHhhhhh, there it is. Worth the worried wait <-- hey, there's a good title, Man, I really like your approach to the challenge, Lee. And so well executed. Nice job on the finger picking. Everything came out just right, clean and engaging.

Oh, i missed the Pygmy Beat. Steve was the perfect choice for vocal and guitar and those lyrics are perfect. You, of course, did a great job hacking away on the rest. Seriously love that bass --very creative approach and excellent lines that add a special magic to the song --which btw is so well written.

A song written for Jesus and shared with us. Thanks, David. It's beautiful. Yes, i hear the metronome-free feel. Rubato is perfect for this kind of worship. So well played --even in the metronomable sections. Very inspirational!!

Harumph. Nobody talks about Area 49 anymore. This is great, ROn. I love those lyrics. Kudos to R.W. Davis --and you for recognizing that talent. Speaking of talent... Terrific write. I know exactly what it's about. What a cool melody. Do you write the music AFTER having the lyrics? Either way, what a great match.

ooo, tell Kathy those are fine lyrics. The vocals are perfect, and your choice of lines with harmony is Goldilocks right. Cool "slow down" in the bridge. Harmonica sounds fine. Bob (Tune Monger) also has some fine harp sounds.

Miss James Jamerson, but i love the song. I like Ron's reference to Neil & Marvin --surely an odd couple. What a good write, Andrew. Excellent melody and you surround it with the best band. The vocals are perfect --love that harmony idea. Ha, i like your exchange with Vic. I feel that way about my vocals too.

Such a good file to get to, Noel. This is another gem for the Finally Finished File (you can add any other word you'd like to the alliteration. Wow, what a strong song. Right from the first downbeat, it hit me. What a great hook --which can and should be sung be everyone every day. Love the sound of those drums. Masterful production. Much enjoyed, Noel.

Hi, I was able to get PG team support to help address this issue. Turns out there was a patch they helped apply that reconciled this issue, changed the Audio options. So far it seems to be working ok. Here's the info that was shared: Please download and install the latest patch available for your copy of RealBand from here: https://www.pgmusic.com/support.realband.htm Once done, please confirm if you are using ASIO in Windows, as this may be causing conflict with RealBand if not set up correctly (even if playback works fine in Band-in-a-Box).

“Where I live, the creek runs deep Sun shining down in the air I breathe What I got is heaven and a backwoods breeze I don't need those city lights, give me the country please” YES Neither of us have ever lived in a city and for the past 38 years we’ve resided in a deep forest . So we get it! We love Americana and this is a fine example. Nice performances by you on vocals and instruments. Fine melodic guitar indeed. Enjoyed it, J&B Thanks for listening. I can't imagine living anywhere else. Sitting outside by the outdoor fireplace as the fire dies down and the sounds of the nighttime woods settles in around me, it's like I've never lived anywhere else. Nor would I ever want to.
