Re: The written pitch not aligned with pitch as played. Fletch 3 5 minutes ago Forum: Help! Tech S.O.S (Off topic) Jump to new postsJump to new posts
There is a conflict between the input record at 48k and the play at 44K. I tried to align same via control panel but could not. I did not care too much and just lived with it until now. As suggested above, I reset to factory and issue resolved. Thanks for checking in. In a related matter, can we set A to 432hz from 440 with the latest BIAB incarnation?

Re: Gig Backing Tracks Matt Finley 52 minutes ago Forum: Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production Jump to new postsJump to new posts
The OP asked for suggestions for equipment and suggestions to play backing tracks. He got lots of ideas. Is anyone arguing? I’ve performed with backing tracks, recordings and devices of all kinds since 1965. At one point that included laptop computers running my string section writing in BIAB. Now it’s a Tascam Wave/MP3/Flac player with built-in Bluetooth.

Could you answer three things: What do you think the song is about? What 3 keywords/themes do you take from it? Which single line points most clearly to the core message?
1. No clue 2. No clue 3. No clue I hate to be negative but it's really dark and confusing to say the least.

Thanks, Chay! I do feel a little stupid, as it took me a while to appreciate the full depth of the lyrics. The imagery is quite nice and oddly relatable (to me).

Hi Ron, Well, I think all the compliments above are well deserved. You have a unique way of singing, with little pauses between the lines and a very beautiful pronunciation of the words. The melody is beautiful, the lyrics are fantastic, as is your voice. I do agree with Dave, you use more reverb than usual. Not bad at all, but be careful... You asked if we could reflect on that bridge together. The first time I heard the song, I looked up in surprise. That's where your bridge begins. That means something unexpected happened (for me). I think that's where your struggle begins. It's the lyrics. Not the content, but too many (complicated) words in too short a time. That gave that bridge something awkward. I listened to the song a few more times. Then it sounded more normal. I got used to it. But I'm curious if you recognize whether this could be it. Hans
Thank you, Hans. Yes, the "artificial/beneficial" couplet, and the embedded internal rhyme of "environment" with the previous lines' "shin splints/suspense" is what crossed me up. I always try to give the internal rhymes a bit of space, but had trouble here because there was SO much else going on. I'm mostly at peace with the decisions I made here. But not completely. smile Glad you enjoyed the tune!

Ciao a tutti! Mi chiamo Fiorenzo e da oltre vent'anni utilizzo Band-in-a-Box sia per la composizione che per la didattica. Negli ultimi mesi ho iniziato a creare contenuti in italiano dedicati a BIAB, con l’obiettivo di rendere questo software più accessibile e di costruire una piccola community italiana dove confrontarsi, imparare e condividere idee. 🎬 Sul mio canale YouTube sto pubblicando tutorial, esempi pratici, workflow, trucchi e spiegazioni passo‑passo pensati per tutti i livelli, dai principianti a chi usa BIAB da tempo. 👥 Abbiamo anche aperto un gruppo Facebook, dove ci scambiamo consigli, arrangiamenti, domande tecniche e risorse utili. È uno spazio amichevole e in crescita, pensato per chi vuole imparare insieme. Se vi fa piacere unirvi alla community o dare un’occhiata ai contenuti, siete i benvenuti. L’obiettivo è crescere insieme e creare finalmente uno spazio italiano dedicato a BIAB. 📌 Link: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGCV4YikmqiqZiDMd2cJSwA Gruppo Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bandinaboxitalia A presto!

Now that multiple views are possible at once, consistency is of the upmost importance. Having the cursor in focus across all views is an example of both consistency and reduced clicks.

Nevertheless this is a really good song, I enjoyed it. Kind regards.
I think you have a unique voice (Loved it). A little rasp on verses and crystal clean on choursus’. The only instrument, to each his own, was the Accordion. It seemed out of place, IMO. I could hear a 60’s type Detuned Organ/ B3 with a little more mellow blend that would fit with the rest of your perfect mix of instruments. Great song either way. I thought it was fantastic! Track

Less is more as they say. Loved the verse with the E Guitar! Sounded professional to me. Beautiful vocal as well. I’m listening on my iPhone speakers and the only nit-pick, which might be from my speaker, vocals were a little hard to understand on chorus when the distortion guitar(s) kicked in. Might just be my iPhone, but I loved the song and you did an amazing song! Track

Is there a way to search for Songs Names that correspond with the styles on the iOS? Version I’m using on my iPhone? Like the style picker does on my Windows PC version? If so, how and where do I search for those? I’m waiting on my new PC to upgrade my BIAB. I’m just trying to suss out some songs/styles that work for when I upgrade. I’m not recording anything on my iPhone, just getting ideas of which styles work with songs I plan on recording when get my new desktop. Thanks track

$1 for 1 month is up right about now for many of us. I was able to cancel it very easily on my account page which is avialable thru the app. I may look into the second option which is $45 for 1 year. But I may not. It froze Reaper a time or two and I was not feeling the love.
