Hi all, Here's a funk song. As I'm not perfect, I'm not sure of the english lyrics because my usual language is french... https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/no-one-is-perfect I don't wait for a miracle I only believe in myself All I know is empirical Even If I like my bookshelf Life is a hard-liner teacher If I remember my mistakes It’s not to commit them later I stay aware of what I make Chorus: No one is perfect, far from it, But everyone must take Responsibility for their actions To err is certainly human We must learn from our mistakes Everyone will do what they can Staying aware of what they make Your freedom reaches its limits When that of others is restricted This idea must be in spirits That's obviously what the world needs RD Funk70sPop16ths^1 RT 4837 Electric Bass RT 4868 Electric Guitar RT 2933 Acoustic Guitar RT 4170 Electric Guitar Suno AI: Vocals and Tenor Sax

to make things even worse, if i remember correctly some standards go from 0 -127 and others 1-128. I remember having to change the number of the bass drum on my roland from that BIAB suggested. has this stopped now? middle c can't always be 60 if the staring number - 0 or 1 is different. FWIW, and confusing as it is, they're actually different ways of presenting the same thing. The values in the MIDI data itself are 0...127. Unfortunately, some people are uncomfortable with zero being a number, so they add 1 to all the numbers where they show the to you and subtract 1 from all the numbers you type for them to restore them to the 0...127 range. The reason for the 0...127 is related to 8-bit binary numbers where those are the values of the seven bits of the payload.

Very excellent song in all respects. It starts off with a Queen feeling, plus some of the guitar fills have that vibe - but has it's own individuality. Shigeki's strings are perfect for the piece. Fantastic production! Thanks so much for the great feedback, Chay Okay, even if it’s supposed to sound a little like Queen, it’s still light-years away from them ;-))) But I’m really glad you liked the song and wrote such a nice review about it. Thanks so much, Chay Andi ;-)

Hi Chay, That sounds very balanced. Everything is in its place and sounds good. The parts with the Hammond organ sound really cool. You used BiaB really well here. Good job, Chay. Andi ;-)

Great song! I enjoyed the vibe and message. Definitely can relate to this line: Time was on our side, but now that's not the case. 😧 So sorry to hear about the young man passing away. He had such a great voice!

Rob, You really are a harmonica virtuoso. It makes me want to try some tapping, too. Western Swing shouldn't be overly complex, so perhaps creating a new "RT style" is a challenge. The style you used fits your song perfectly. Enjoyed my listen a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Hello Andrew, The melody is composed in a well-structured form and is very pleasant to listen to. The lyrics are certainly nonsensical, but I actually think that writing lyrics with that specific intent is incredibly difficult. The video featuring the lyrics was also very entertaining. Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

Marty, The lyrics and video really capture the atmosphere of the Santa Fe Railway. I first learned of the place name "Santa Fe" through the Bacharach song "Do You Know the Way to Santa Fe?" Your song has a lively, country-style sound that fits the video perfectly. Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi

I don't use Fender Studio Pro and I didn't know the program has all those features, which seem really interesting and useful, as well as very well implemented. However, FSP is mainly a DAW with analysis and track separation features, whereas SMP is a program specifically designed as a song learning and transcription assistant. In that sense, I think the workflow of both programs is very different; FSP is a complex program mainly aimed at music producers, while SMP, much easier and simpler, is for musicians who simply want to transcribe or study a song, with features specifically designed for that (like phrase or key trainer) . I think both are really interesting depending on your needs.

I don't see exactly the folder you are referring to. I didn't find it under anything that was labeled Real Tracks. I can see it in your screenshot - the folder "RealTracks" underneath Preferences... Open that folder, and then open the "Data" folder, and you should see "Style Demos Audio". That's the folder you should rename. The other folder, "Style Demos" in the main Band-in-a-Box folder, you should leave as is.

The ability to create a tempo map from a MIDI file would be a good feature but currently isn't possible - tempo changes are intentionally excluded when you import MIDI - so the AI answer is incorrect. However, you can use ACW to create a tempo map from an audio file as I think you know. It's fairly easy: 1. You need an audio file of the performance - import this into Band-in-a-Box on the Audio track or a Utility track. Audio menu | Import Audio. 2. Solo the track and add the bar lines by playing the song and pressing the Add Bar Line button in the ACW toolbar. There's nothing else you need to do - this will create a tempo map in the current BB song file. Confirm by pressing F5 and checking the tempo changes. One thing to note - make sure to set the first bar (bar 1) correctly, so that your (audio) performance actually starts on bar 1 of the BiaB song.

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!
