Hi Carl, its great to hear your music again. Excellent job on the keys. I feel your finger pain. I have resorted to taking Meloxicam so I can keep on playing. I know the risks but my fingers work a lot better than without it and I'm not just talking about playing guitar, bass, or keyboard.

This is a fantastic song Chris. Your AI vocal and flute matched perfectly with the BiaB tracks - great job on that. That AI vocal sounds so real it is scary. Great mix A super song and one of if not your best to date.

The song packs an emotional wallop. Peter's guitar sounds like the aching spirit mentioned in the chorus. Speaking of the chorus, it was strong and carries the song as it should. Vocal is par excellence. Thanks for all you wrote. It covers all we could hope to accomplish. Its greatly appreciated by all of us, J&B

Hi Rob, What a low, sultry voice. From what I know of Gershwin, he couldn't sing as sultrily (or intimately) as you! You sang and recorded this very well. And that harmonica really finishes it off. Truly beautiful! Hans You're right, Hans, there are no recordings of Gershwin singing. And he wrote no lyrics, his brother Ira did that. But man could he compose a song! Thanks for such nice comments, I wouldn't be singing without encouragement from forum members. Much appreciated!

Very jazzy. Specially I enjoyed your harmonica solo. Thanks, Arri, I appreciate you listening. I've done a faster version, the same BPM Chet used, and I might post that too.

This is one of my favorite songs to call on a casual. Great job with the vocals and harmonica. Digging it from start to finish! [/quote] Thanks, Steve! I've heard "call a tune" before, of course, but I've never heard "casual." Learned something new! I just recorded a faster version of this and might repost.

Read the title and instantly thought, "Cool. It's in the PD now." Cooler still that you are the one singing it, Bob. Chet's version is one of the best, but i'd always trade it to hear your harp. The two parts you credit to "me" blend so well. Quite the range on your vocal too. Perfect quality. i stayed for Sunny Side, so now i'm hooked again. Great stuff here, Bob. Marty, you're likely the only person who listens to my Harpbreak Kid page and I SO appreciate it! Modest as my skills are, I am very happy with that page and listen to it often. Thanks once again!

Hi Rob. Although I never can understand the point of so many strange chords in the genre of jazz, this effort is a super relaxed and pleasant on my ears. Well did. Vic Vic, I've dumbed down the chords in some of my jazz pieces and they still sounded good through BIAB's jazfred RS. So I don't know how to explain it. Maybe I'll ask Steve.

Great job on this, Rob! Taking on a classic associated with Chet Baker is no small feat, but you really brought your own soulful vibe to it. Your vocals carry the weight of Ira’s brilliant lyrics perfectly, and that harmonica adds such a beautiful, melancholic touch.The backing tracks provide a lovely, relaxed swing that ties it all together. Don't sell yourself short—this is a wonderful rendition ! Andi ;-) Andi, thanks for such a great review and confidence booster! Yes, it was daunting, knowing how good Chet's version is. Thanks again, my friend!

A drum fill is much like a shot or hold: a specialty little trick to add that makes all the difference, but we don't have the level of control that would be nice. That might make a good Wishlist request someday to be able to drop in the drum fill of your choice from a library of fills. Changing from B substyle to A gives the best chance of getting a strong drum fill, but you have to keep doing partial regeneration to audition it then freeze it. The chord entry of C.d means this: the dot after a chord means silence. The comma means except. So C.d says, everybody rest except drums. Somewhat related, there is also a way to control whether there is a fill or not on part markers. Was any of that helpful?

Thanks for your responses. Unfortunately I don’t understand any of it. (What’s a c.d, e.g.) I was hoping I could be pointed to a real drum style that had the fill I’m looking for.

We thoroughly enjoyed your rockin’ blues gospel. Jukka’s piano solos were great. And your warm resonant vocals remind us of Maurizio Glielmo (A somewhat obscure blues singer that we like from the Gnola Blues Band. Great group of BiaB session guys to support you, Jukka and Timo, Well arranged, mixed and we much enjoyed it, J&B

“I’m looking ahead with a spring in my step I’ve left it behind and I’ve learned to forget I’m taking time to smile and now for just a while“ Nice! That BiaB band is a showcase within the showcase forum. Excellent session folks indeed and very well mixed. The video is very creative. And the supportive real clips are perfect. As others have praised the arrangement, chord structure and vocals are top notch. Well done and much enjoyed by us, J&B

We completely can relate to wondering why those songs won’t just finish themselves. 😉 This was well worth the wait, Janne, and we too look for the good in every day - or at least try! Love the bridge, "I may not know the author of this play yet I'm thankful for this day." The band is warm and soulful and that sax is great. The synth vocalists work well. Excellent mix all around. The video interpretation was cool, with the migrating birds being our favorite part. Regarding music theory rules, to paraphrase a line from one of Janice’s favorite Humphrey Bogart movies: “Rules, what rules? We don’t need no stinking rules!” 😂 Enjoyed it! J&B

Herb, that was a master class in writing, playing, recording and mixing a song. i loved it! You my old friend have some a long way over the last 25 years Yes it has been pretty close to that since we met on the Cakewalk music creator forum. I agree with your not showing off on guitar. You kept it in the pocket and that to me is showing off not mad skills (which you have) but understanding how it is done in the framework of what the song is asking for. Well done. What vocal synth do you use? vocaloid? Thanks for the kind words my friend. It's been a while since those heady days in the cakewalk forums. Quite a few of them are passed on now, sadly.

Hi Aleja78, Thank you for the thorough detail and explanation of your issue. I've been away for a couple weeks, but will address this now. Your songs should work as structured, and we'll work to fix this. 1. Has support for older BB2Go songs with *_render.m4a files changed in the newer iOS app versions? - This sounds like a bug, and *_render.m4a file compatibility shouldn't have changed in the last update. 2. Is there a way to convert or migrate these older songs so the existing rendered M4A audio is preserved and used by the iOS app? - Opening one of these songs in the app, then saving again should move the .m4a content (if present) into the song file. 3. Is there a utility in BIAB 2024 Windows (or another method) to embed or link an existing *_render.m4a into the SGU file without rendering the song again? - The 'bundling' feature where .m4a and notation / RealCharts content is saved into the song file is exclusive to the mobile apps at this time. 4. Is “M4A+ Ready” related to this older ZIP import format, and is there a way to recover or convert these songs? - "M4A Ready" indicates .m4a audio content in the same directory as the song. "M4A+ Ready" corresponds to a song file with the .m4a audio bundled in the same file. The "your_old_biab_songs.zip" file should only be visible in the Export view, so it sounds like another bug. The archive is created to collect (for backup, or re-import) all old files from the old version of iOS Band-in-a-Box, prior to the 2.0.0 update. It can sometimes be empty, and the "Open" function in the app isn't calibrated to handle it, either way. - Tim
