I'm currently experimenting with the new feature to automatically transcribe songs. BIAB is notating all instruments as piano notation. What am I doing wrong, or how do I get the specific notation for each instrument? (DR,B,Git,Voc)

Thanks. You got it right: I only produce those songs I like - and can somehow make my own rendition.

In Ye Olden Times you could check out videos and figure out parts by watching the player. What I learned from that video was that in order to play fast mandolin licks, I need to move my fingers in slow motion. On the other hand, the dead-eyed zombie on the drums did a pretty good job staying in sync. But when ride hits, the splash cymbal magically moves as well - just like in real life? I can accept having synth voices singing songs - because without that, you've just words on paper. But watching AI people "play" the music is where my brain draws the line. It's a step completely removed from reality: the images that you're looking at literally have no relation to the sounds you're hearing. Are you trying to convince your viewer that there's a real band there? With the ability to create videos of virtually anything, it seems that having a locked-down camera of a fake band is the epitome of ick. But I'm an old luddite, so what do I know?

Hi, Mario. Thanks, glad to be back. This is super music. Great AI vocal. Fantastic arrangement with an outstanding bass track. That Flugelhorn was a great choice and everything was mixed to perfection. Thanks! I'm glad to hear it!

Loved your song and your vocal delivery, especially the low notes. Fun instrumentation. You are my favorite bass playing bumpkin!

Hi, B.D. Well. I'm only two months late to this f***ing party, but I'm glad I got on before the train was gone for good. Excellent production all around - especially the vocal performance.

Hi, Laurent. Excellent production. Big band goodness. Ron already mentioned (and you replied) to "streets" and the preferred emphasis on Pairis; same nits here. I guess YouTube doesn't let you swap out videos to make changes. That's too bad - I'm always fiddling with the mix, instruments, and even lyrics even after I've posted my songs. That's one the advantages of using AI vocals.  Catchy tune!

Hi, Marty. I didn't have any problem understanding the message of the song. So I guess I connected the dots, too.  Fine work, as usual.

I can't comment on who is mad and who is not, but I have used these new AI features in BIAB and I can say that they do work. I will add that I don't use them because I have better tools to do stem splitting and transcriptions. I can't tell what you are doing or what you are doing wrong from your description. I do agree the descriptions of the actions are less then intuitive. Which prompts are you using. There is some degree of redundancy in the menu systems. You just have to keep at it. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=32666&filename=Screenshot 2026-05-12 162114.jpg)

I've played mandolins over 60 years now, but never heard it before in bossa nova! You also played it very well! Not an easy task! Over all very refreshing production.

Hello, When using Soloist to do a guitar solo I'd like to get a DI signal so I can use my own amp settings. Is this possible? I saw something for this in Melodist but not in Soloist. BIAB has so many things it can do. More tutorial videos please. Thanks, Bob

What a coincidence: I just watched a TV documentary of funk and start experimenting funk with an old cither tune from Finland. I'll post that when ever I'm satisfied with it. I learned that funk is so simple it's very hard to get the right groove into it: with the hit on first in 4/4 and not 2 and 4 as usually. But got the groove!

Reggae is a style where I always get stuck with the rhythm. Thank you for making me a little less ignorant with your explanations. I see that you're as comfortable with this style as you are with the blues. Bravo to the whole team for the great work. laurent Thank you for the very nice review. We’ve only done five reggae tunes but we do enjoy the genre. We’re happy you liked Bud’s genre explanatory ramble. Much appreciated, J&B

This is the best free analog synth VST that I have ever heard. It emulates and expands on the Oberheim OB-X analog synth. It has a ton of excellent patches. No programing skills are needed. It may be the only analog synth you will ever need. I really like it. Notes: 1- If you are going to use it for commercial use you must buy it. If you don't make money on your song(s) then it is free to use. 2- It is not a GM synth. https://www.discodsp.com/obxd/
