Re: Blank/empty notation window Andrew - PG Music 41 minutes ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Macintosh
Quote
Also, If I change the external monitor from "extended" to "main" in the Mac settings, then I see what I expect - notation/lead sheet in the main UI. With this working, I switched back to the way I want, with the laptop screen as main and external monitor as extended.
To confirm, you have your laptop monitor as your main monitor, and you see the 'embedded' (not floating) notation window on your extended stand-alone monitor, when you single left click on the Notation button in the side toolbar? Is this correct? Which mac do you have and what is the macOS version?

Lots of great lines in this song, if I started quoting I wouldn't know where to start. Chorus was haunting. Great work!

“We weren’t cut out to be cut-out dolls Or obscene graffiti on public walls” Now those are excellent lines! Aren’t you glad you finished this?! We didn’t hear it before the drum revision but we like what we hear. And we do get what you mean about the driving toms reflecting the emotional turbulence. Your vocals, as always, shine and the outro vocals with your smooth guitar provide a lovely ending. While reading your brother’s fine lyric we thought of the other side of “what if’s” for when the person who really only wanted friendship but did not listen to their inner voice and instead committed to a relationship that they knew would fail. Enjoyed it! J&B

Re: Mando Bossa rayc 6 hours ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
COOL...a woody sound and you skipped the obvious mando tropes so extra points. I enjoyed and your stretching is streets n lanes ahead of my rudimentary mandolin playing - so bad that I've avoided it for a decade.

Re: One Day (we will know), a waltz rayc 6 hours ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
The stacked vocals don't quite work for me in the chorus at 1.30 & repeats after it. Not quite balanced, in time etc and distracting from your main vocal ends up sounding cluttered. The song is great as it the band and band mix. Sudden end though...odd. COOL STUFF.

YAY, I get to hear your very rich low notes...excellent vocal. A classic Marty narrative with puns and lessons intertwined. Love the band and, I don't know Marty, you always seem to get the right bassist for every song.

Re: Ashamed Of What I Feel rayc 7 hours ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
It's cool but the AI vocal seems to have overdone the "humanizing" as there's way to much breath, sibilants stuff, clipping etc. for my liking. Nifty backing and a good result with the mix. Good ears man.

Re: New RealTracks are not showing up after upgrade to 2026 Andrew - PG Music 14 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Macintosh
You don't need the UltraPAK upgrade unless you wanted another physical drive. The PlusPAK upgrade includes all the new content since last year, so I believe that's the one you intended to purchase, and the one you've purchased in the past.
