Hi James. I really like this presentation. It might interest you to know that before I read your introductory comments and started listening to the song, I read the lyrics in full. This is how I usually prepare myself for listening to User Showcase songs. When I finished reading your lyric, the thought in my mind was, "This reminds me of Mr. Miyagi in 'The Karate Kid' movie." Then when I read what you'd written to introduce the listeners to your song, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Mr. Miyagi was indeed to inspiration for your work  The way that I heard these lyrics is that you've used the metaphor of 'painting a fence' as way of saying: "Through good and bad times, this is how I keep myself balanced and in equilibrium with the world." This really resonated with me. For the last 12 months, Life has been filled with health-related ups and downs for me. It's been a bit of a roller-coaster ride. I suspect that this is why I was able to empathise with your lyrics so strongly. Thanks for sharing another fine effort. I sincerely appreciated the journey you took me on. All the best, --Noel

Have you done the available updates for that version, or is it still the release version? Look for 2021 version updates here - https://www.pgmusic.com/support.realband.htm Also, trying the Edit- Audio Plugins- Gain Change plugin may help to get the track level back to where it is expected to be as a quick workaround, but I do not recall this issue happening even back in 2021

Audible count-in is something that wasn't implemented when using Dxi/VSTi soft synths. That's because of the latency involved. During playback itself, the latency of the buffers can be taken into account when sending the metronome notes to the soft synth. I could try eventually having it implemented in the future, but I'm not sure if that would result in the count-in notes being slightly delayed and/or possibly the last count-in note being cut off when actual playback starts. It would really depend upon what buffer sizes are being used. Whenever I work on a song, I usually create a 2 bar lead-in (such as by generating RealDrums or filling a track with a drum pattern) which serves as the count-in if recording from the beginning, and if I need to record in the middle of the song I usually don't rely on the metronome count-in but just use the punch-in feature and start a bar or two before the punch-in point.

I enjoyed the part about triplets. PG Music has stated for YEARS that using triplets is how Band-in-a-Box switches from straight to swing feel. This video helped me to understand why.

OK! I've completed the Bass Gtr, and Drums. There's a partial piano part from the beginning thru the 1st chorus. The chorus might be a little out of line since I couldn't deal with BIABs method for unorthodox time sigs. But what I have of the piano part can essentially just be copied. BIAB did generate what I have, and I'm extremely happy with it. I played the entire bass part myself. I have the Chord chart and literal notes for the bass so you can follow that verbatim. I need at least 2 electric gtr parts. 1 that simply plays on 2 & 4 (& 6 if necessary). 2nd guitar that plays a very clean Memphis/Muscle Shoals sound. Listen to the original if you're not sure. I also need a Hammond B3 (slow Leslie). We'll hammer the rest out. Anyhoo, here's some basic chord charts that should give you a good road map. I just realized BIAB won't accept my PDF files  . So, I'm going to ask you to give me your private email in the PM section and I'll send the PDFs to that email. It won't accept my mp3 either .

Good. I would still suggest you have the info you need if you work just within BIAB.

Sounds like a song about me: if I do A, it's wrong and if I do the opposite of A, it's also wrong  So easy to relate to the main character of the theme. Excellent storytelling. Nice cliffhanger ending or should I say bridgehanger The melody, the chords and the instrumentation are in beautiful balance. Very pleasant bassline, BIAB instruments fit perfectly with it and Dave's guitar is doing everything right. The mix sounds great and the vocals make me nod with satisfaction. Janne

Hi Brian, the absence of the "Assign to Track" section is by design. The list of tracks in that section refer only to BIAB tracks which is why it is unnecessary for it to be included in the plugin's RealTracks Picker. To assign an RT to a particular track in the plugin, all you need to do is right-click on that track and choose Select -> RealTrack. This will open the RT Picker and place whichever RT you choose on the correct track. Hope this helps!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
