Hi MarioD, I have down loaded and ran the install for TX16Wx. Now I'm stuck trying to get PowerTracks Pro to recognize the new Sampler. I've looked on their site but haven't seen any clear directions as to how to do this. Could you provide some direction? Thank you, Ed

Hi Scott, Wao and Brain, Thanks giving me these compliments in your posts. I enjoyed them I was hesitant to release it because it has bleak lyrics and no real solution to the problem. On the other hand, singing together with Anne-Marie was a very nice experience and also brought a good result as you can judge for yourself.

Hi Scott, These are really nice words from you. The only thought I had with that line you liked was: what do you like about that. I hate it ;-)

Hi Wao, Thanks for your compliments. I was a little unsure about what you wrote after your compliments. But first let me say that I think it's good when people give their opinions and don't wrap them up in nice words. I looked up the word trouge because I don't know it. It meant: a very low point in the performance. In this case from the soloist. That is a heavy statement. But let me tell you what I wanted to achieve with the solo. The violin had to play a sad solo, with whining notes, as she had done from the beginning of the song. This is because of the sad subject. So no roaring solo guitars. The only rock guitar was the one that provided the big accents on certain parts of the song. Those were the intros to another level of the song. To call this a 'trough' is -for me- a misunderstaning of the song. Maybe if you listen again, especially to the structure of the song, your opinion will change. But I probably have to accept what you think. I will do that.

Hello Brain, At first: we don't want to give you the feeling you are old. The song is about when you are old. And admit it. You're old too... Anne-Marie and I sang a Dutch song some years ago and that was nice. But singing together in English was something else. But it turned out very good. And AM did a very good thing with the background vocals. I think it gave a lift to the middle part of the song. At least, I was very happy with it. And now, you too. Thanks again and have a nice day, Hans

“When aging arrives, its grip is unkind” The above says it well! Y’all sound great together, Hans. Both of you are such soulful singers. The lyric is certainly relatable and the band is excellent. The cello and piano are perfect for the mood and the banjo was surprisingly a good fit. We enjoyed the video too, especially the end with the people reading the books following the line of “my words will become my legacy” and, of course, the cute cat. Now let’s all remember that we can still be young at heart. 😊 Good one! J&B

This is a timeless song with very impressive vocal work. You and Anne-Marie are a great team. Well done. Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. James 4:14

Dr Gannon made a pitch for TTS-1 for a free GM soft synth here. I used TTS-1 for years and it's better than just ok. I'm using the Roland SoundCanvas GM soft synth now. Think I paid $50 for it on sale. It's a little better than TTS-1 to my ears, even though both are based on SoundCanvas sounds. Both are "assign it as default and forget it" if that's what you want to do.

Hi Vic, Indeed a real country song! I do like that, but your song has the right tension and lyrics! Your vocals are always great and in this song the lead guitar is second best to that. I can quote Bob Dean by saying you really made an excellent song with this one. Hans

Carl, very pretty and professionally played across all instruments. Simple harmonic theme, but nicely arranged to sustain interest, and the synth pad provides a pleasing backdrop. I'm starting to really get into these slow tunes. Ha!

Alan, thoughts and prayers for you and Di. Missed this song on first release, but...WOW, this is a powerhouse! Wonderful backing track and arrangement, and the minor key shift is eye wateringly beautiful. Those vocals are just GREAT. There's a glossy sheen to the production that we don't hear all the time on the forum, and it really adds a lot of depth. Fantastic job, Alan and Ray!

Hi Alan, I am so terribly sorry to hear about Di. Please know that I am sending a tonne of healing thoughts both her way and your way. You and Ray have created a really beautiful song. I loved it. As I sat here listening, the imagery, the melody, the lyrics, the arrangement and the production all pulled me into a special place of calm reflection. Because of this, for me, the song was a heartfelt, bitter-sweet journey. You and Ray managed to tap into my emotions and you kept me thinking long after the song had ended. Wonderful listening smile All the very best, --Noel

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."
