It's a favorite of mine. I'm glad I turned you onto it. Thanks for checking out the other recordings on my channel.

Ok. I don’t use a dark mode on any software, but I think if I did, I would want to turn it on in one place and have it affect all windows.

Lovely piece. I like the inclusion of the string quartet, which adds movement. All sections transition nicely and I like the gentle build to finish the composition.

There doesn't seem to be an option to change the color for items like the Multi-Picker, MIDI Monitor, Chord Builder etc. At least they are not available from the combo-box list.

The setting for Audio Transpose is found in Song Settings (CTRL+N). It's at the bottom of the right-hand column.

I suspect that the 32 bit icon was there all the time, and it simply still points to the latest 32 bit executable. I doubt that your 32 bit icon was created by the 2026 installation.

Good morning Steve, I’m not a huge fan of Jazz, but I do like to see/hear fine musicianship and you’ve got that all going here. You certainly are a master of the sax, I really enjoyed your arrangement and I even found my toes tapping along to the number. That was really good, kind regards.

Transpose tune with audio? Funkifized Yesterday at 11:22 PM Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I have a tune that I did the ACW dance for; it's in Db. Corrected the chords listed, etc. Needed it transposed to the key of C. Went to the key button, Transpose and Set Key Signature: C. It worked, seemed to bring the audio file down to C, also. I then edited the Song Form to remove the last 4 measures, and now the key signature and audio are in different keys. How do I get them back in sync and changed to the key of C? I was pleasantly suprised that it changed the audio track down a semitone, but then it went away. WTF?

Hi John I wonder if you’re advocating drinking and writing! Nice to hear your vocal on this number. A nice uptempo number with a humorous theme. The title and theme is quite clever, implying that the hole in the doughnut is nothing, so if she leaves she is nothing to you. Good job John, kind regards.

It does. I remember reading about this in the past. The 32-bit icon on the desktop or Taskbar isn’t erased by installing newer versions, so I guess it just loads whatever was your last 32-bit version of BIAB.

Hi Rob. Thanks much! Glad you like it. Yes, that's me on the lead vox. Yeah, it counts. We get most of our plays from FB fans.

Re: YOU'RE A BABY AND WONDERFUL Knee Wobbler Yesterday at 10:45 PM Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Hi there Sol The song’s sentiment really resonates with me. I have two wonderful children and two beautiful grand daughters, the youngest being 5 months old. I love babies at that age, as you say they are so pure and unspoilt at that age, free of any influence from the outside world. They look at you and grin, and that grin is as pure and genuine as anything you can experience, it’s untainted. I did a fast forward sixty years on my life from that baby stage whilst I listen to your song, and look at all the baggage I’ve accumulated both external and internal and started to well up. All the above aside, your song also captured that innocence and purity, in presentation, style and lyrically. I really enjoyed my listen…thank you. Kind regards.

My last purchase was 2024 where there were 64 and 32 bit versions with the relevant icons. When I downloaded 2026 and installed it I got the 64 and 32 icons as before but when the 32 bit version is opened the first screen says it is 2025 so it looks as if they are bundling the last (?) 32 bit version (2025?) with 64 bit 2026.

Re: This Is Your Brain on Music Matt Finley Yesterday at 10:26 PM Forum: Off-Topic Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I’m looking out at snow that is paralyzing the Mid-Hudson Valley of New York and remembering this would have been called a little dusting where I grew up in the Adirondacks. About playing the trumpet in the cold, this is why there are so many people who USED to play trumpet. I frequently wonder what they know that I don’t.
