That is the very thing I was using it for, that was my job but I had to quit because of too many issues with Biab/RB, but now my job is trying year in year out to get PG to improve it but it's an incredibly slow process. There is a big improvement in the latest version if you use Reaper though it's still waiting for yet more fixes. If you have Reaper you can import frozen SGU's from main Biab instantly Working In Biab & Reaper Simultaneously and Instantly Open SGU in Reaper See issues: A Working BBPlugin (EZBBvst)

BLACK HORSE rsdean Yesterday at 11:28 PM Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Hi All, Here's something I wrote many years ago, but have now finally recorded. This short & folky tune is called BLACK HORSE. He was running the horizon A blur against the sky Midnight black in the daylight In the corner of my eye I was barely 21 He was somewhere in his prime Had more heart than sense But I guess that comes with time Thunder on the hillside The sound comes across Warm breath in the cold mist In the shadow of the horse When I was 38 He lost part of his soul She was a mare without compare I couldn’t help or console Some days are short and narrow As I look back on our time He still wanders the fields He’s a ghost of his prime But, thunder on the hillside Freedom at all cost Springtime in the valley Another year of the horse Yeah, thunder on the hillside Sadness like a force Goodbyes and farewells The last season of the horse BIAB Tracks: 1418: Bass, Electric, Ev16 085 4200: Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm Songwriter Ev 120 1533: Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Ev 120 RealDrums: NashvilleBrushesBalladPushEv16 Vocal recorded with a Copperphone Mic As always - thanks for listening!

Wrong instruments after changing styles, + render issue. uncledunc Yesterday at 10:41 PM Forum: Band-in-a-Box VST and Pro Tools/AAX DAW Plugin (Windows) Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Using the 2020 version, I created a song, picked a real track style, rendered individual tracks and when I dragged them into my sequence, they were blank until the last chord. Tried again. Same thing. I saved the file in the BIB file menu, selected "new song" and imported the saved file. This time, it rendered the full tracks. Decided to try a different style (which I've done before on other songs) but it's still playing the instruments from the previous style, even though the new instrument names are showing. I saved the song again, with the new style, (even though it's playing the old style) deleted the plugin, created a new plugin, imported the saved song and got the same result - wrong instruments even though I selected the new style. My only recourse now is to delete the plugin, create a new one, and then re-enter the chords, which is a real time waster. If anyone has noticed stability improvements in newer versions of this plugin, let me know. I'd hate to spend more money upgrading, only to encounter the same issues. Seriously, I've wasted so much time on this app, I'm making less than minimum wage every time I use it to build tracks for clients.

Thank you, Floyd, especially for taking twice the time to also listen to the original song. Much appreciated. Of course, it helps a lot if you have a great original to start with smile

Hi Nigel, Fun jumps out of my speakers (almost). You are so good in reviving the old songs/melodies. The sax seemed to play in my room! (now I need to shout Ya, Ya too, or so). Your vocals are well suited for this kind of songs. Really great! I'm not a very big van of jazz, but your songs are a pleasure to listen to. Really! Hans

Spaghetti western, definitely. Pretty cool choice of guitars, creates the right mood. Sometimes the guitars come in a bit too late for my taste, but that's just a minor nit. Cool song anyway...

Re: Falling Birchwood Yesterday at 08:20 PM Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Hi David, To start with the song itself: Great! Very good vocals. Oscar's vocals are very pleasant to listen to, and the BG-vocals too A nice melody and use of instruments. Lovely lyrics. But the thing that amazed me a lot was that ton of work you had to do to create all this! And I read you are able to automize some processes. That's great. I think I once told you that I wanted to do a duet with an AI voice. I bought some vocals from Emvoice, but, beside a simple vocal melody, I couldn't manage to get me that duet. That's why I still use humans... But what you can do is very, very good! Hans

Hi Brad, Mario and David C,

Hi Brad, yes, I think you have a that. Like we. But I gave it some message, along with the fun; Obese is a problem and our food and drinks help to let that problem grow. In my country we have a suggar tax on drinks with sugar in it. I don't know if other countries have it too. Ooh, Belgium too. It doesn't help much, I think. I also let that fat guy overcome his shame. That's a good thing too, I hope. It was Marty's granddaughter (12 yrs) who asked Marty if that man (me) was making jokes on fat people, because she has fat friends to. That's where I changed the lyrics in overcoming the shame. Good thinking of her! And Marty had a lot of fun, while playing the bass. And good too!

Hi Mario, you're always on my party. Well, more to come soon! I am happy you enjoyed the video too. It is always a challenge to make them. Marty does 3 videos a week, I think. I can't. I hope we can do something about it, as I wrote to Brad, taxing those companies so to force them offering more healthy food. I know, healthy food is not fun to eat. We eat vegan meat 4 times a week. I can't say I like it all, but less meat can help on many frontiers. But here we are only for the music. Glad you like it!!!

But most people who diet end up gaining back the weight and more, and an exercise routine is difficult for most people to maintain. Certainly, obesity is a real issue. But from what I've heard from fat people who get told this, this particular message is rarely helpful. Still, nicely done. And yes, even the bass. wink
Hi David, thanks for the compliments on the song from a musical standpoint. But IM(H)O you missed a point in my song. I don't have the message you wrote I had. Look what I wrote to Brad and Mario. My points are; being fat gives a lot of problems you can't overcome easily. Shame is one of them. But it's good if you overcome that. And we also need to think about how to solve the convenience of getting fat fast food. Taxes are one of them, but these companies must have their own responsibility. Not just the big wallet. But I know that won't be easy. But health problems that arise from this also cost a lot of money. Thanks for watching and listening, Hans

Re: Scaler 2 Upgrade problems Bass Thumper Yesterday at 07:36 PM Forum: Off-Topic Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Thanks guys. I was able to download it ok. In the previous version the About/Help and the gear were both inoperative, but Windows required an upgrade too. I'm thinking the inoperative gear and the need to upgrade Windows were linked somehow. Also, calling something "Scaler 2" never made much sense to me, dropping the 2 does. Now the continued task of learning this "beast" continues. I think my brain is wired differently than these programmer's; very little of this plug-in is intuitive to me.

Hi Fred, Love the song and it's dark lyrics. Your voice is very good. Liked how you sing the chorus, delicious..., even for a highway to hell! The cello is a very good choice for this song. Some wrote the word 'haunting', but sad is a better description I would say. One question: on you site on BandCamp I saw the song is from febuary, 2010. Is this the same one or a remix? Still, a good one! Hans

Hi Noel, and here I am, finally! Like-I think- most others here wrote, a beautiful song! And I always compared your vocals with -the late- Robin Gibb. I still do! Immediatly when I hear your voice, I must think of his voice. And I know you don't know him, because you always say that. It doesn't matter. The song is very nice, lovely to listen to, the lyrics are very good. Glad you are back, Hans

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
