Thanks. Vic: I was the front of house sound engineer for the The Dubliners, when they had a concert in Helsinki, Finland. One of the band had drunk too much strong Finnish beer and I had to keep his mic down - only put him into his floor monitor for him. Still they sounded good and could play their sets without no one noticing anything special in the audience - despite that one new comer of the band who hardle could stand on his stool. Great guys all. Real Irish spelmen.

To change the base pitch of the output, it's necessary to use a third-party plugin on the Master track. Biab does not have the ability to change concert pitch.

Great song, Noel, so inviting on so many levels. Kermit the Frog would approve, of course. Not to bring politics into it, but I am a proud Green Party member, so you got that angle, too. JK. Terrific work, you set a high musical standard!

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.

This is a beautiful song and the lyrics are excellent. Wonderful imagery. 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.  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.

When you use the insert/delete bars command, audio tracks will shift accordingly - This is been the behaviour for a few years - prior to that it was considered a bug that insert/delete bars did NOT do that. Perhaps there could be a setting for it. +1 A simple "Freeze" button for audio-tracks would be perfect.

Yes I like your idea, makes sense and I can see its purpose. I would also like more of the basic part markers, such as something obvious to signal a break section for example A song may have a section that's verse/chorus/verse/chorus and then an instrumental unison section for 4 bars that then breaks down to a very simple drum/bass only section, then back to a verse etc... That's it exactly!

Not gonna lie, I’m not a great fan of instrumental music. However, everything about the groove, instrument selection and super clean recording process makes this shine! No words needed, I could feel what you’re putting down! Loved this. Track

Hi Mick I really enjoyed this, had several listens. Your strong vocals were spot on. A really nice mix of all instruments. There was one instrument that I felt was at odds with the mix, the accordion for me didn’t work and discordant, perhaps that was as intended but for me it detracted from what is a very good production and write. 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

Wow, wow wow! What a fantastic memorial tribute. Reminds me of an Early Elvis or Roy Orbison song. Production is so goooood! Sorry for your loss, but expressing it in song so we can also enjoy participating in memory is the ultimate to share. Trax

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.
