Re: More realistic harmonies justanoldmuso 48 minutes ago Forum: RealBand
Muzic Trax. (or any lurkers.) my comments... 1..its best to detail your pc config...processor ? etc etc. then on cpubenchmark.net look up your processor. if its old with a low single thread score (i recommend at least 2000 these days..) you might run into probs. also look up its math handling performance. AND 2..run the tests i detailed in pg tips forum in the thread useing an existing pc. frankly my el cheapo new mini pc has amazed me. rb reports over 300 tracks. and latency mon reports it has one of the lowest microsound latencies in the pc market. bb 2025/rb boot up in no time flat. few secs as does win from cold. the biggest problem i see these days is old pc's that are not optimised for music production sooo the whole shebang falls apart under load eg too many tracks/plugins etc etc. anyhoo read some of my tips sometime in tips forum to save me retyping pages and pages. just some ideas. om

Well Dave this is a great effort by the three of you. I always love your guitar playing so much. You always just kill it. It's a really nice song all the way around too and those are some fine lyrics. Really enjoy this!

Hey Ron this is incredibly cool man. I love those guitar harmonics but I can't believe that you would have the audacity to steal some of my tricks right here on the forum for everyone to see! As my good friend Greta Thunberg would say: how dare you! But anyway man this sounds really good all around in your classic DC Ron kicking style! Really enjoyed it! Fun tune!

Re: New Fun Tool/Toy for Band-in-a-Box from Norton Music Notes Norton 1 hour ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Macintosh
Aaaaarrrrggggghhhh. Mike, The tech at the shopping cart company insists nothing is wrong, and points out the scores of orders I'm getting with no problems. So he says it must be something wrong with your system or your security settings. Not being a tech, I have no idea if he is confused and blowing me off, correct, or something in between. So I have a plan. (1) Let me know in a PM or direct e-mail what you want to order, (2) I'll figure out the price and add an extra discount for your trouble (3) PayPal me the funds and (4) I'll send the software as an e-mail attachment. Meanwhile, I'll continue to investigate the problem, starting with my webhost, which I don't think would be the source, but it won't hurt to give that a try.

Re: How to put in the chord F minor add 9 into the chord track Noel96 4 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Macintosh
I agree with Audiotrack. I cannot see that m(add9) chords are part of BIAB's repertoire at this point in time. Have you tried Fm69? While is adds a D to the sound, it might actually sound okay. The other possibility that I can think of is to use Fm, and generate the track. Next, go through and use playable Realtracks to manually add the G note in one of the major instruments (e.g. piano or guitar) for each of the Fm chords that you want to be Fm(add9). The 9th probably won't need entering in all instruments since it is usually better not to double dissonant notes across too many instruments. After you have done this, you could then freeze the track to keep your work.

Brian, quite and elegant composition, and pleasing to listen to. Sounds like it could be the opening movement to a much longer piece. Nice job on the arrangement and mix. Sounds great to me!

Re: Could I get a Sade-type sound with a PC + Ableton? Or would Mac + Logic Pro be way better? AudioTrack 5 hours ago Forum: Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I doubt that one platform over another will change the actual results. Both PC and Mac can deliver the goods. There are several Sade Styles in BIAB that might work. The Sax part is challenging to do with MIDI, but not impossible. However, if you can find a Real Style with Sax, that might be a better starting point. I listened to demo samples of _TALK (2024/06 Xtra Pak 18) _COSTA (2023/11 xPro 6 pak) _QUETZAL (2023/11 Xtra Pak 17) All could work with Sade style music. BTW, are you actually using BIAB or are you intending to create your music inside your selected DAW? Anyway, hope this helps.

Re: Sometimes Dreamers WaoBand 9 hours ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
A very 60s vibe to this - indeed very Carpenters - and I really like the chords structure. My only criticism, which is clearly a personal thing, is that I just don't like SynthV vocals. Here and elsewhere where other have used alternatives such as Suno, the vocals sound organic, where for me SynthV vocals don't, particularly the way they're phrased, which is probably down to the singers not being Western.

Alan, I haven’t been on the forum since January, and I have just read your post about Di. I’m so sorry to hear the sad news. From the progress reports you posted over the last couple of years, it is obvious Di put up such a good and brave fight. Also obvious is the love you shared. I hope you’re going ok, with plenty of support around you. You certainly have many PG Forum friends sending their love. Thinking of you, Mike

Thanks for listening, Ray. When various comments are pro aspects and others the opposite I think that some of it is down to the system and/or app one is listening on. Once I have my samples arranged and mixed in Audacity and I think all is balanced I next find that when I play a WAV of the project in 2 Windows players and my preferred VLC player some solos can sound way too low or high in volume, plus I hear different things when I play a track at low, medium and high volumes. I do a lot of testing, mostly having the new track in a playlist so I can make comparisons, but all too often when I upload a video I've approved to YouTube I suddenly hear anomalies I didn't spot previously during numerous listens. Floyd has said he experiences the same.
