Re: The Payam Method MarioD 4 hours ago Forum: Woodshedding - Learning to Play! Jump to new postsJump to new posts
There really isn't anything new here. When I was teaching guitar I'd tell the students after you learn the basic techniques I will divided the lesson in half, half for continuing out of the book and half for having fun. If ignoring the book learning then the fun stuff will stop. My lessons were not a strictly go from book 1 to book 2 etc. Students learned more advanced techniques more easily when playing songs that they want to play. Learning fun stuff started early in the lessons to get the student motivated. Note that all of the fun stuff was in notation that was modified to the students skill level. I have had great success with this method and so did the other guitar teacher I was sharing students when we both worked at a music store together. YMMV

whats really needed imho is to have one app that splits into 6 parts AND at the same time creates new tracks that are assessed that might be better than one or more splits useing AI. thus the user could have 'options' to improve the split tracks.

Re: 2026 Audio Track Issues ... thomasc 6 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows
Resuming ... Problem: loading existing/old songs with user audio tracks does not behave stable. In general all songs have been edited with user audio tracks adjusted bars to match the songs tempo. In some cases works just fine and opens as in 2025. In other cases the audio is loaded directly at bar -1, i.e. no delay or sync to the rest of the song. In some cases BIAB has saved the song and chopped of e.g 2 bars in the beginning which explains why it would start directly at bar -1, i.e. normally the audio would be silent from -1 and start sound at bar 1 to be in sync with the song. The chopping could even be repeated with additionally saves, thus destructive removing the audio and you could end up with an empty audio track = 0 bytes. In these cases the saving was done automatically BIAB, i.e. not by me. Possibly also related this is when continuously looping a song with an audio track, it gets offset by some two bars for every new loop ... It has kept me from actually using BIAB for some time as it's destructive and not so tempting to have to edit all songs to be saved in 2026 (if even that would help...) Strangely I have not seen any other user reporting a similar problem.

Thank you so much for listening and for your always valuable feedback, Ray. I really appreciate it [Linked Image] The imperfections are not the AI's fault, I actually requested the vocals to be that way and didn't remove most of the imperfections. That's a conscious decision, because I don't like the overly polished vocals you usually hear on the radio. Of course, that's just my personal preference, and I know a lot of people who would agree with you.

Re: Do new versions of BiaB delete some old Styles while adding new ones? Noel96 11 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows
Hi WB. Have a look at this post. It might be helpful if you mark the styles as Favorites in addition to keeping them in a folder. https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=631261#Post631261 I've just checked it out and it still applies to BIAB 2026. The Preferences\StyleFavorites.txt file is update when BIAB is exited. Because it's a text file, you can add styles saved from your previous versions of BIAB. If you make a copy of the file, it's easy enough to restore if you need to when you update BIAB. --Noel P.S. As I mention in the above post, the StyleFavorites.txt file seems to get overwritten (or maybe the styles get the FAV_ identifier removed) during upgrades. I don't know if that is still case. As far as I can tell, the FAV_ identifier is what is used to identify which styles are to be added to the text file.

Hi, floyd jane. I'd been MIA when you released this, so I missed it. I'm glad I caught it on this go-round. Strong rocker! With a bit of imagination, I can see the performer on stage belting away. So Audiomee did its job. smile I remember having to read The Outsiders in high school in the late 80's because teachers somehow considered it somehow "contemporary". Good to hear the musical production was great.

Happy birthday Dan! I listened to two songs - My Way and Another Day Old. I really enjoyed the latter. Your gratefulness for your current circumstances made me reflect on my own. It is such a privilege to have time and means to do many things that I didn’t have capacity for before e.g. creativity, reflection, volunteering. I am not a good singer, but I find there is something rewarding about expressing myself and my musical ideas in song. I hope you continue to find reward in your singing through small wins each week.

There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4).

And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
