Hi, Bob. Your lyrics are outstanding:    The cars race down Highway 51    Where the old tribe used to run    But I can taste the trail of tears    In the blowback from the guns The arrangement is moody with an underlying sense of tension, and the vocals like the narration of a street poet. Really, really good. smile

Hi, Ronnie. Excellent work, as always. Toe-tapping goodness. smile I used to have a Variax, but it was always a hassle to set up. I sold it to a friend, who gigged the heck out of it.

Hi, Dan. I like the song! smile The intro didn't work for me. But that's probably just me - it was OK once, but repeated? And again at the interlude? Oh, no... wink The song builds nicely. The harmonies are nice, but a some of intervals emphasized the synthy-ness of the vocals, like "I know he loves me" at 2:56. Then again, in a world of auto-tune, that's probably a feature and I'm just an old man shaking his fist at the clouds. The "oohs" and "aahs" are really nice. Piano fills sound good, and the mix is excellent. It feels a bit long, but not as long as it actually is, which is good. Nice work, as usual.

Re: Do you copyright your songs before showing it to producers? Ely Bass 8 hours ago Forum: Songwriting Jump to new postsJump to new posts
This has been a most illuminating thread. I read the whole thing. Thank you. So I'm not trying to hijack the thread, but instead I want to approach the question from the other side -- that of the potential infringer. Over the years, I've played in, and recorded several original bands. Most of the songs were written by bandmates. I have the recordings. They are usually the first recordings. I'm not trying to make money from releasing these songs, but I would like to make it possible for people to hear them, mainly friends and family. I know that I own the rights to the recordings and production. Most of these songs were written in the 90s and are unpublished and unregistered works. Most have been performed live. I've lost touch with most of the songwriters. Spotify makes it easy for songwriters and publishers to collect their royalties for streams. I'd love to do that. Searches for copyrights on Google, easysong, and with the Harry Fox Agency turn up nothing for my recording. I have several questions. (1) What risk am I taking if I publish these works on SoundCloud and post links on facebook? (2) Should I copyright these recordings? (3) Any other related issues I should think about? So all songwriters here who recorded their unpublished works with bands, please copyright your works so it's easier for us amatuer producers to get our recordings out there without infringing.

Re: Scaler 2.0 Update Available Cerio 9 hours ago Forum: Off-Topic Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I'm sure the program is incredible, but I tried it and never could figure out how to integrate it into my workflow. I've worked with all kind of software my entire life, and I'm a fast learner, but this must be one of the most confusing and counterintuitive programs I've ever found. The GUI is, to me, a perfect example of good looks, but very poor usability, and unfortunately the documentation and official "tutorial" videos don't help at all. Just my two cents.

Re: F5 Bar Settings - Label Misalignment AudioTrack 10 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I agree that it's far less than ideal to have two different methods in the one dialog to achieve the same thing. Definitely not equal at this stage, and more work required to deliver this.

Thunderthud, Good catch! Since we are on the topic of F5, would you agree that a better way (for user) would be to have a single list of all tracks in F5 menu instead of some showing in the list and the others have to be hunted for in the dropdown menu? I am VERY curious on honest user opinion(s) on this. P.S. I believe it would be more convenient to have same workflow for all tracks. AKA "All tracks are equal".

"What will get more users back ?" Here is my recipe: 1) Known bugs fixed 2) VST3 with full mixer channel routing before the end of the year. 3) Workflow enhancements / fix broken workflow items - the core of these issues was presented in great detail in several videos by Jeff P. 4) Throw out redundant features and menus /Clean up UI., not giving in to a vocal "few"... only few (!) that are stalling the progress for most users because they are too comfy using certain menus. 5) Graphical enhancements. More vector, more modular, modern buttons. No eyesore "Radio Bar" by default. Less of 90's vibe in design. 6) Plugin stability + same regeneration multicore speed as BIAB. No render to disc.

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.

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."
