Hi Ron Thank you for your compliments which I hold in high regard ! tonalic There is a free version (which I use) that comes with Celemony (Melodyne). "Good luck with the band! You're always welcome here, too" That is a lovely thing for you to say. Thankyou sincerely. The band is a lot of fun even though we are a bunch of intollerable Prima Donnas with inflated egos !!!! Thanks again Ron Izzy

Drag and drop your BiaB tracks into Pro Tools then use automation to turn the flanger on and off.

Krampus. It might be that your version of Windows is not set to show the extensions of files. (Extensions are the letters that occur after the period in a file name... for example my_song.mgu has an mgu extension. Where BIAB and music programs in general are concerned, it's very useful to have Windows setup to show extensions. To do that, follow the instructions below. 1) Open File Explorer. 2) Click on the "View" dropdown menu (#1 on the image below). 3) Click on "Show" (#2). 4) Select "File name extensions" ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32609&filename=windows extensions.jpg) Regards, --Noel

TuneMonger, Very nice song. Cool jazzy, bluesy and swing rhythm drums. Really good vocal. Nice blues harp solo with good tone.Other instruments, especially the bass, were great. AB Thanks, AB! Yeah, that walking bass really kicked in on the bridge.

I bought that book in 2012 along with my first pair of Sony MDR7506 cans (maybe on your recommendation!) I read most of the book but then promptly forgot most everything I "learned"!...... I already missed the deal on those monitors but there will be more deals! Yep, I have recommended those Sony headphones a few times. You'd be surprised just how many songs I have mixed on mine. I'm with you on the "read it, forgot it" thing. Regarding missing the deal, you can call one of the agents and ask for the deal.... Give them a sob story if necessary about how your pet turtle died and you've been wracked with grief, curled up in the fetal position crying and missed the deadline...... If they tell you to pay up or pound sand, well it was worth a phone call.

I won't add anything more than what others have said about the high quality of the song, the vocals, and the mixing. As you pointed out in your introduction, the drums might not be to everyone's taste. Personally, I would have kept them for the more energetic parts of the song and used a softer drum sound for the quieter sections; this would add contrast to the track, which often revitalizes the song. This is just my opinion and doesn't detract from the overall quality. Laurent Laurent, thanks for your input, which (with others) resulted in a new version of the song being posted with a new drum track with a greater dynamic range. APPRECIATE your input!!! First things first: The Toms are _exactly_ my thing  I wouldn't have let them play through the complete song, a drop would give the listener a moment to breath and reflect and give them even more impact when they come back in. But they really are a great choice for giving the song its drive, and they work perfectly with the guitars and those sexy little fills. Despite all those guitars, the mix sounds really open and clean, leaving plenty of room for your (beautiful) vocals. I think your arrangement experiment is a winner ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) B.D., your guidance on the toms is very compelling and I did post an updated mix with a new drum track. The shift in dynamics is not what I originally envisioned, but it definitely improves the ability of the tune to BREATH. I like it! THANK YOU!!

Today I purchased and installed BIAB 2026 + 49pak. a lot of content was copied by the installers into /Applications/Band-in-a-Box/RealTracks, adding to what is already in that path, and that is the correct path, I am not and have never used any custom paths. In any case I have tried multiple times to Rebuild the styles, etc..but none of the new RealTracks 468-488 are showing up in the picker and when I try to use "what addons I have", it displays those as missing, as well as Midi Superpack 45. So what is the secret trick to get BIAB to recognize the new stuff that was installed? Is there some kind of reset or something I can do to get it to recognize it all? I have already tried to reinstall everything for 2026 just to make sure it all got installed.... As I said, a lot of folders with new stuff and today's date got copied into the RealTracks folder...so it seems like installation worked, but BIAB is still not updating itself to the new content.... Please advise.

Janice’s brother-in-law, Steve Davidowski, played keys/sax with DAC for a while but more notably he played with the Dixie Dregs (featuring the ace guitar player Steve Morse). He also played with Vassar Clements and a host of notable N'ville artists. Nowadays he's still at it and does wonderful charitable work. Steve is a serious peace and love guy so his DAC tenure must have been tough. 😀 Bud

I have recently upgraded to BIAB 2026 and included the 49pak. My question is about the 2023 49pak which I did not order at the time I upgraded to BIAB 2023, and I am unable to order it now(website doesn't let me do it). I am wondering what is in 2023 49pak which I may or may not have already now? I have upgraded to BIAB 2024 2025 and 2026 all including 49pak. , when I got into BIAB and show add ons, it says I have all real tracks...but since I never ordered 2023 49pak...that report must not be complete...either its not showing the 2023 real tracks that that came in 49pak at that time...or those real tracks have since been included in later upgrades to BIAB that I did. and other stuff that was in that 2023 49pak..?? Have I sense gotten them through other upgrades or were they only in that 49pak and since we can't order it now, they are basically not available? so what is that situation? Do I have everything from that 49pak or are those items simply not available now and never shown in the tool that displays what I have and don't have? Is it fair to say that 49paks are kind of like early access to content which will most likely end up being included in the BIAB upgrade in some future year? Please clarify about 49paks, thanks.

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

“Up in the lookout tree countless hours determined to see that patience would pay the morning buffet for the bird of prey.” Patience is assuredly a virtue for raptors! We were immediately hooked by the lyric subject. We often enjoy seeing our local hawks, eagles and osprey. Your lyric certain does them justice! Very cool video Th BiaB band sounds great with the Liam synth. And the mix is excellent. The soaring guitar is perfect for the birds in flight. Enjoyed it! J&B Thanks Janice & Bud for your pleasant review Glad to read that you enjoy seeing your own majestic birds. Janne
