I won't add anything more than what others have said about the high quality of the song, the vocals, and the mixing. As you pointed out in your introduction, the drums might not be to everyone's taste. Personally, I would have kept them for the more energetic parts of the song and used a softer drum sound for the quieter sections; this would add contrast to the track, which often revitalizes the song. This is just my opinion and doesn't detract from the overall quality. Laurent

Re: Play Button in StylePicker Not Playing the Highlighted Style Rustyspoon# 1 hour ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts
No issues reported by toaster. (not in actual yellow toaster, not in the log) "Auditioning style: C:\bb\RealTracks\Data\Style Demos Audio\_OUTEAST.wma [2026.1237.0, 4/25/2026 8:42:29 AM]" However I had pinpointed the issue! Advanced setting in Windows for playback is set to 48K (so as my interface) BIAB forces my interface to 44.1 > WMA doesn't play. Going into Windows settings and changing playback to 44.1khz = WMA demos in BIAB plays. P.S. Exiting BIAB (under Win set at 48K) - Plays WMA fine. Solution? Definitely not.

Re: Mando Bossa Birchwood 3 hours ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Hi Floyd, Everyone here is talking about your mandolin, of course, but I just want to say that this bossanova track is very beautiful in itself. Great tempo, good band, and a really nice melody. I think you would say about this: "You made good use of Biab," but here that melody is really yours. I did miss your vocals a bit... The mandolin was a very creative find. The South Americans use it a bit less. You had to put a lot of effort into getting the sound out of it, but I must say, you succeeded well. Is it hanging on your wall again? Or do you have "wild" plans for it? Hans

Re: Building a music production PC that will last 10 years mrgeeze 4 hours ago Forum: Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Why not just buy a Mac. A $2k configured mini will probably last you 10 years. Mines 5 already. I have 3ea 4tb SSD drives hanging off of it. Set it and forget it. Auto upgrade, auto backup. Nothing is perfect but the mini is good enough for BIAB and a DAW. I also do some development (C# in windoze on Virtual Machine) Google Earth Pro and QGIS as well as Postgres DB. Pretty big QGIS file with TB of video and track data. No 100million row tables on the DB but some 10-20 million. Works just fine.

Re: Mastering Tips Needed (for a Lazy Amatuer) Guitarhacker 4 hours ago Forum: Off-Topic Jump to new postsJump to new posts
At this point, I think all you would need to do is ensure a consistent level across all the songs on a given album. Your mixing and mastering on the individual songs is done. Just make sure it all sounds cohesive and your listeners are not having to grab the volume knob for each different song. A simple audio editor of your preference with all the songs lined up in the order you want them, and a simple listen a few times to make sure everything sits in the right place, should be all you need to do.

Re: On the Sunny Side of the Street (No AI) Birchwood 4 hours ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Hi Bob, You really know how to make this song sound like it comes from the 50s. Especially singing "bebelibida" etc.! Your vocals were very beautiful and soft. The band was also very good. But I really liked how your harmonica playing sounded! Unfortunately, the ending was a bit too abrupt for me. Hans

Re: LIST OF USB AUDIO INTERFACES THAT ARE "MULTICLIENT ASIO" Matt Finley 6 hours ago Forum: Post your own Tips and Tricks here Jump to new postsJump to new posts
My understanding is that the Focusrite units have had multi client drivers since Generation 3 at least. I moved from my Generation 1 and 2 units several years ago because I had other Presonus units and software (Faderports, Notion, Studio One 7) and I liked the workflow of the Universal Control software better, as well as the full integration. I remember several updates over the last few years. Fender introduced another version with the new Quantum line, and already issued an update. I’ll look for the number. You are correct, neither company gives useful explanations of what the updates are for. PG Music is an example of a company that does a great job with their explanations. EDIT: Fender Universal Control on my system is now 5.0.0.110112 dated Jan. 7, 2026 I don't know if that is retroactive to Presonus equipment. Likely not?

Re: Questions about RealTracks/RealDrums location and 2026 upgrade Nomi 9 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Macintosh Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Hi Andrew, Thank you very much for your help. I followed your instructions and copied folders from the external SSD to the internal HD. The RealTracks lists and Drum lists are now populated, and the RealTracks and Drums can now be used as intended. You wrote, “Nothing is deleted, everything that you had previously should still be present and work as normal.” However, let me say that I was not hallucinating when the “MIDI SuperTracks” lists were empty on both the internal HD and the external SSD, and only showed the intended tracks after I had downloaded and installed them from my PG account and the files for the year 2025. Nevertheless, once again: thank you very much for your help. I would also like to thank you, Mike, for showing me a way that would certainly have solved my problems as well. However, I did not try it anymore, as I had already successfully followed Andrew’s approach. So, all the best to both of you, Best regards. Nomi
