Hi Laurent! Really excellent production and good choice of singer. The chord extensions (7ths, sus4 etc.) provide a smooth jazzy sound, and I tried to work out the chord movements in my head, but alas too many for me. I’ll have to lift my game! Anyhow, great song and accompanying video. Andrew Thanks for the comments, Andrew; the chord chart is attached.

Hello, I would like to find a way to avoid so many CRASHES in the Real Styles files and also in the PUSHES and SHOTS. And also in most of the SECTIONs first bar another crash. ....Too many crashes for me. I think that there is no options for these and maybe the only way to fix this problems is to edit the WAVs recordings and try to modify those wavs with version without the crashes. Maybe too many work. For this solution, I will need to know exactly how to search and locate the wavs on the styles and edit the audio, and how to prepare the edited STYLES. Any other ideas for this? Thanks in advance Montxo

For some upgrades there is a checkbox 'only show files new in 2026', so that was probably it.

Wow! Crystal clear mix and engaging from the first note. Your bass and sax and geat. love that big round fretless tone. I would think the sync libraries would love this one. Really enjoyed it J&B Thanx Janice and Bud. I also really like the sound of a fretless bass, even this elcheapo one, and those Swam instruments.

An enjoyable rendition of a song I haven't heard before, but now I am glad I have heard yours. Nice arrangement and it's good to hear your harmonica too. Thanks, Scott. In the OP, I said it wasn't one of Gershwin's better songs. I've changed my tune. Jazz musicians really like it, it's great to improvise to. I'll be posting a faster version in a week.

Very nice song there, Floyd! Really good piano work, as well. I know what you mean about the paper. You should see my stack of school boy notebooks as Tunemonger describes. A mountain. Yeah, keep doing it the old fashioned way, man. It is the only thing I respect so don't go changing. Keep on keeping it real. I am reminded somewhat of this ad. This my world view now. Ten years from, this could be me. Do It The Old Fashioned Way Thanks, David If it ain’t Real it’s bullshit I have often been in a situation where I have been depressed and decided to stop writing songs and performing live. But something strange says: go to the piano and behold, words and melody are born! Thank you Floyd for this song Jona Thanks Jona What a stunning track, Floyd! You hit the nail on the head nothing beats the thrill of the human touch, a pen, and a blank sheet of paper. The soul and truth in this song are exactly why AI will never replace real artistry. It's wild how the universe works, turning a personal therapy session into a crucial turning point for your musical. It fits that narrative vibe perfectly. The musical arrangement is top-notch your piano work and those PRS leads sound incredibly tasty over that BIAB foundation. "Paper and Pen" is an absolute gem. Keep rocking! 🎸 Andi ;-) Much appreciated, Andi…. Hi Floyd, 'The darkness comes so softly that you do not feel it until it completely envelops you and turns everything into twilight'... Quite a somber song, Floyd. But somber or not, hope is always to be found in your lyrics: 'So look for the light in the tunnel look for the sun coming out look for a way to find your joy paper and pen' I think that paper and pen is very well chosen here, both literally and used as a metaphor. Yes, I don't need to tell you that this is a very cleverly written text, because all your lyrics are masterpieces in their own right! The musical accompaniment supports that somber, yet also hopeful, quality of the lyrics well. You did a great job with that! Hans Thanks for dropping in for a listen, Hans

Two excellent vids, two classic songs, thanks for sharing. I always wondered how the Who created the intro to Baba O’Riley and what the title actually meant. Also agree with Kevin, new music as creative, experimental and downright good as these songs cannot be found today . . . maybe that's a good thing.

Embrace the suck. You're only a "short timer" when you have your DD-214 in hand and headed towards the front gate for the final time. What a glorious day that is. However, to be crystal, nothing about this sucks. It's probably the best fusion jazz composition I've heard here in all the years I've been listening. Great job Guitarhacker- You are too kind! Thank you for listening and the comments.

That BiaB band is a showcase within the showcase forum. Excellent session folks indeed and very well mixed. Thank you J&B! I laid the foundation of the song in BIAB quite a few months ago, and I wish I’d kept notes about my choices for adding the additional RealTracks. I think the baritone guitar was added being similar to my own guitar with tremolo in my original recording, and the organ similar to my pianica. But credit to the BIAB band for the irreplaceable foundation. As you both often say - what would we do without it! The video is very creative. And the supportive real clips are perfect. Fortunately, I have access to a good library of video stock in Clipchamp, and can usually find something that fits - either directly or indirectly. Being a writer who doesn’t place as much weight on the lyrics - sometimes to my detriment - it is often during the video that I think deeply about the words I have used and how to represent them in video. As others have praised the arrangement, chord structure and vocals are top notch. I think you referred to me as Mr. Chord Man recently, and that is often my motivation and starting point. It is also what I tend to focus on in others’ songs when listening. Thank you for noticing and commenting! Andrew

Thanks Matt. Your comments are always so helpful. I think BIAB could make the drum fills between substyles more active. Thanks rharv. I’m usually at a more moderate tempo but I’ll try that one.

Hi Hans - thanks so much for your very kind comments, The piano was made up from 3 VSTs in combination - Pianoteq Petrof and U4 Upright, plus Keyscape C7 Classical. I used Spectrasonics Omnisphere "Nylon Sky" for the lead part - Trilian for the bass, and Modartt Pianoteq "Classical Guitar" on the L and "Harps" on the R for subtle rhythm parts! A simple setup and a very simple tune really - but I enjoy putting some "feel" into my playing (leftover from playing guitars etc I suppose?) and hopefully that feel might have been picked up by your ears? Really pleased you liked my tune - thank you for listening Hans!! All the best to you, Carl

Hi Aleja78, Thank you for the thorough detail and explanation of your issue. I've been away for a couple weeks, but will address this now. Your songs should work as structured, and we'll work to fix this. 1. Has support for older BB2Go songs with *_render.m4a files changed in the newer iOS app versions? - This sounds like a bug, and *_render.m4a file compatibility shouldn't have changed in the last update. 2. Is there a way to convert or migrate these older songs so the existing rendered M4A audio is preserved and used by the iOS app? - Opening one of these songs in the app, then saving again should move the .m4a content (if present) into the song file. 3. Is there a utility in BIAB 2024 Windows (or another method) to embed or link an existing *_render.m4a into the SGU file without rendering the song again? - The 'bundling' feature where .m4a and notation / RealCharts content is saved into the song file is exclusive to the mobile apps at this time. 4. Is “M4A+ Ready” related to this older ZIP import format, and is there a way to recover or convert these songs? - "M4A Ready" indicates .m4a audio content in the same directory as the song. "M4A+ Ready" corresponds to a song file with the .m4a audio bundled in the same file. The "your_old_biab_songs.zip" file should only be visible in the Export view, so it sounds like another bug. The archive is created to collect (for backup, or re-import) all old files from the old version of iOS Band-in-a-Box, prior to the 2.0.0 update. It can sometimes be empty, and the "Open" function in the app isn't calibrated to handle it, either way. - Tim
