Hi all, Here's a french folk waltz. I've written the lyrics, found the chords on my guitar and created the melody. The arrangements were made using Band-in-a-Box (acoustic guitar RT 4302) and Suno AI (vocals and recorder). https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/linconnue

Hi, Leron, Peter and J&B. A song to make me feel good, too. I love 3/4 time. It takes me back to when I was a kid. Lyrics are excellent. Vic

Thanks, K-Dub Ya. I am a believer in less is more, especially in music creation, so I will plod on with my one song every couple of months until I fall over.  Vic

"I may not know the author of this play, yet I'm thankful for this day." What a terrific little bit of Camus philosophy. I wish I had written that. Great work, and the musical wrapper it is within deserves mention as well. Novel chords and melody, as we've come to expect from you. I wish you could somehow collaborate with the Finnish harmonica giant Lee Oskar, I think he would love comping your work. Very creative piece as always, a pleasure to listen to over and over.

When I do a vocal track it's generally ozone 4 and melodyne. Also waves vocal rider, CLA vocals and the vocal channel strip in my DAW. Not necessarily all of them together. Only what is required

Oh, you're so right, Herrb. GREAT TITLE, and so well turned into a great song. You got some fine singers to give those lyrics the perfect feel. What a wonderful production. SO pro! Nice dynamics that reinforce the need to get south of all this nonsense. Send us a musical postcard of how life is down there. As soon as I get there and get a chance, I'll do that. Glad you liked the song.

I've changed which USB ports are used for the BIAB disk and the Scarlet interface, and so far, so good. I'm calling this resolved, but will reopen it if the problem returns. Thanks for the advice. This has been a good group for many years.

These nonsense lyrics are creative and that's what makes them interesting (like "I Am the Walrus"). Someone mentioned Ray Davies. I concur. Fun lyrics and music.

BiaB is a tool to address a different task, which it does extremely well. What you want is an "Arranger". There are a couple or so software ones and a number of MIDI keyboards that do it. vArranger might suit if an arranger keyboard is over budget. BackupBand is also pretty good and easier to use, but it's Linux only and looks very "VGA Graphics". Overlook that and it's surprisingly good.

Good listening, Chay. Nicely mixed. I especially enjoyed the bass in this... fj Thanks, Floyd! I have a different version titled "Flying Forties" as it uses a 40s sounding orchestra, though it's a sung song and the opening notes of the bassline inspired the first lyrics. I need a female vocalist for it, but it's going to be hard doing a demo as some of the notes are way out of my range.

This is a really excellent song and sound. Great verses and an even better chorus. Your material and Dave's lead guitar always fit so well together.

I agree. For many years, my Record button was indeed red. It was possible to edit the modest pixel graphic files that BIAB uses. There’s a Tips post out there somewhere and quite a few users here used my modifications, of not only the Record button but also other small enhancements I’ll take a look to see if that is still possible with the new interface. EDIT: I checked and the files are still there, but when I updated one with my red buttons, it didn't work.? There must be a new scheme, or the files are stored elsewhere now.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
