What style were you using. That would really help testing.

Re: Problem with style picker not opening in Cubase 15 Ludwig 20 minutes ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box VST and Pro Tools/AAX DAW Plugin (Windows) Jump to new postsJump to new posts
This has nothing to do with Cubase, it can also happen in Standalone (as mentioned above). The white X that you can see in the upper right corner of the plugin Sceen means, that the Style Picker Window has gone to the background. Use <Alt> <Tab> to find and select the Stylepicker Windows.

I am not a fan of software that is tethered to online service, especially 3rd party service.
Me too, but try to think more broadly: PGM could have the technology in their back-end, and deliver the results to the user. Same as the iOS or Android functionality. The online service or subscription is never a user requirement. Yes?

BiaB 2026 Build 1224 Windows count-in bug TheMaartian 47 minutes ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Whether playing or exporting to .mp3, the first beat of the count-in does not play. I tested 1-bar and 2-bar count-ins. I tried different count-in patterns. I tried different count-in instruments. No matter what I tried, the first sound/note of the count-in does not play/is muted. For example, for the 2-bar pattern "1-3-1234", the first "1" is silent. I hear "--3-1234". I have never paid close enough attention to notice this myself. I found this out while responding to a post in the German forum by user swazy. Vorzähler Problem

Ich habe überprüft, dass es sich um einen Programmfehler handelt. Bei Vorzählern mit zwei oder einem Takt wird der erste Ton stummgeschaltet, unabhängig vom gewählten Einzählermuster. Ich werde es melden. BiaB 2026 Build 1224 Windows count-in bug

Thank you Bob, It was a good song to do some BIAB improvements to, and it gave me a valuable opportunity to explore and reinforce my usage of BIAB. Im not sure that the PUSHY style was exactly what I wanted, but it provided the drive and intensity that the song merited. Thank you for listening, kind regards. Lee

Re: Without A Word Of A Lie Knee Wobbler 5 hours ago Forum: User Showcase
Thank you Rob, The low register does give it a menacing undertone, which is what I was trying to convey. The subject matter is a dark one, just how much unnecessary baggage we’ve all had put on us at a young age. Hopefully my next number will be a bit lighter. Thank you for your review and listening. Kind regards.

Re: Without A Word Of A Lie Knee Wobbler 5 hours ago Forum: User Showcase
Thank you Ron, Yes, it was certainly worth spending time getting this redone and giving it a bit more grunt. The vocal does have a few levels to it, from the lows of the chant to the high in “time” and that does serve to give the listener some break on an otherwise average vocal. Thank you for your review and listening, much appreciated. Kind regards.

Re: Without A Word Of A Lie Knee Wobbler 5 hours ago Forum: User Showcase
Thank you Mario The subject matter is quite intense and I think the metre of the song reflects that well. The style upgrade from BIAB added extra umph to the original production, with two electric guitars driving it along just below the overall level. Additional reverb to the vocal has also smoothed that as well. Glad you enjoyed it, kind regards Mario.

Cool production elements in that intro. Deeps subject matter treated with a smooth pop style. Man, I love that guitar solo. One BIAB is all you need to qualify to post.

Re: Listen to the Dogs Screw at Midnight John Walradt 10 hours ago Forum: User Showcase
Thank you, Mario! The vocal is quite raspy and goofy, ain't it? A real screwball. I wrote that song when I was bussing tables at the Black Angus restaurant in Boise. I don't know what inspired me to write it. I usually come up with a melody first and the melody feels like something so I run with it. John

Re: If the World Ends (where will we ever love again?...a song about global warming) John Walradt 10 hours ago Forum: User Showcase
Guess what, Mario. The unusual deep freeze rushing across middle America is part of the unusual weather patterns occurring because of global warming. In California, the most devastating fires were in the southern part of the state from late October through November. Now the pattern includes more months and has moved to northern California, Oregon, and British Columbia. A year ago, two fires swept through Pacific Palisades and Altadena into the flat areas which really surprised me. Lora and I left Phoenix in 2024 after going through the hottest summer on record. The electrical grid is outdated, the water table is depleting rapidly, and they still won't listen to the warnings from scientists. Also, the extreme conservative politics and anger drove us out, too. I wrote "If the World Ends" in 2023. Scott Jordan and I released two versions of it. Neither did well on Broadjam's charts. They're not ready for a message like that. Thank you for listening, liking and understanding it, Mario. John

Re: FORTE will be discontinued in 2026 MarioD 10 hours ago Forum: Off-Topic Jump to new postsJump to new posts
It must be really tough for notation programs when programs like BiaB/RB, Fender Studio Pro 8, other DAWs, all have notation. Also the free MuseScore. Or phones and tablets that can show notation, thus eliminating printed scores. I would think that the demand for a full blown notation program would be limited to a small minority, like those printing scores for orchestras and big bands. Just my two cents.

Cool song, liked the doot doots and the ending. Singing strong as usual, mix and master is nonpareil. I recently purchased some new audio gear and your song really sounds terrific through it. Timber and remember was my favorite rhyme. You're really on a streak of hits, way to go!

Natural selection... If I were a betting man, I'd bet that most of the music software providers we know and love today will be either gone or unrecognizable in three years. Maybe less. Would LOVE to be wrong.
