That could be the case. If the play works better with the Focusrite ASIO driver or the WAS driver, then definitely use those.

Lee - yes there's a lot of computer based music on this forum and I thought I'd do something a bit more 'real' (glad you heard the genuine & sincere intensions). However I do also admire the amazing skills of all the great computer musicians on the forum, all a bit beyond me! Very pleased you like my simple tune, all the best for 2026!!

My mother had a 6'6" Kawai "mini". Even that base model had great tone. I loved playing it. The action was really fluid and easy to improvise on.

Hi, Janne. Being a Grinch, I decided to only listen. I liked what I heard! Havox was over the top along with everything else. Fun listen, and appropriately silly. As you said, no need to change lyrics that "work", even if the don't entirely make sense. laugh

Hi, Andrew. I'm late to the party too, but I'm glad I made it! This is a nice bit of pop - very 60s! I sort of listened to the lyrics, but not too hard because the groove had me bopping along. Nice harmonies and bits on the piano. The descending bass line on the chorus works well, to support the catchy melody. Cool earworm! smile

Re: Seeking Advice for a Voiceover Project Mike Halloran 10 hours ago Forum: Off-Topic
Interested in what you went with if you don't mind sharing. If still looking, I can give a few lists that range from barebones but excellent to really-people pay this kind of money? with good reasons for my recommendations. My VO setups have changed over the decades but the current one is priced on the low side of midrange and I am very happy with it.

Re: Jazz Chords in DAW Plugin avitus 10 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box VST/AU and Pro Tools/AAX DAW Plugin (Mac) Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I've attached two screenshots showing the problem. As I was replying I realized that I could enlarge the window of the DAW plugin and that resolved the problem with the Ci chords and they now show correctly as C7. It also resolved the problem with the Fmaj7 chords being displayed as F MAJi. Take a look at the screenshot because I think a lot of people might not realize that it is a window sizing issue. Notice, for instance, that the Db7#11 chord in bar 23 appears as Db7#1i, which is super confusing. The F/\7 was just my attempt to get the forum software to show it the same as the standalone BiaB version. It now shows as Fmaj7 in the plugin version after I made the window larger. Fwiw, I never enter chords in the DAW. I use standalone BiaB every day when I'm practicing. Then I eventually switch over to Luna, and load the same song into the DAW plugin. At that point, it is usually very jarring to see everything in both a different font and notation. My main genre is jazz so I'm using the chords for the purposes of improvising. [ Of course, I aspire to be a real musician and simply "hear the chords". But that is probably 30-40 years away still, so for now I'm left having to read the chords.]

Re: Lead in count on song with no MIDI tracks missing - worked OK on ver 2022 not on 2026 Joseph Land Yesterday at 10:57 PM Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts
You can do the modifications on the style, then go into File - Style Maker - Edit The Current Style - Save As and then it becomes a User Style. You can then change the style in your songs to the new one and be done with it. I have done it about 5 times in the past in order to add different RT's to the style. I do a Save As so I don't over write the factory supplied style. Most of the bluegrass songs I have point to one I made up to add a reso guitar to the existing mix.

Thanks Ray for the feedback. I'm not a Suno expert; I've only been using it for a few weeks. I uploaded the audio version I made with BIAB, where the vocals and lyrics were done by Solaria from Syntesizer V. I put my lyrics in the lyrics section, and for the style, I requested a pop ballad with a singer who has a slightly angelic quality. He gave me two versions, and I kept the one I liked best. The vocalizations were created without my request, and I had to remove two or three notes from the vocals that he had modified because they were out of harmony. Laurent
