<< 3. For bass I chose Hi-Q Upright Acoustic Bass 'N'. No Midi patch. 4. When I came back to Mixer I noticed that BiB had changed the Track name 'Bass* to 'Piano 1'.>> What happened between 3 and 4? When you chose the Hi-Q Upright Acoustic Bass 'N', that assigns the Midi .tgs patch from Sforzando. It appears that when chose the midi instrument, it didn't load for some reason. So, I assume you are saying that exiting the Select Midi instrument menu, the Mixer displayed the default Piano 1 rather than the Hi-Q instrument you chose. I can duplicate your selection result by clicking on No midi patch which you may have inadvertently clicked at some point. That selection is directly below the Hi-Q instrument selection so even a slight mouse movement could have shifted away from your selection choice. ----------------------- Sorry, I should have written more precisely. So what usually happens to me with BiaB goes like this: When I write my own bass part in Midi, I do it first on Melody track or Soloist track and then copy/move it to the (frozen) Bass track and select this Hi-Q Upright Acoustic Bass 'N' for instrument. When returning back to arranging I (usually) notice that BiaB instead of the Hi-Q. sound plays an ordinary GM patch sound. In order to avoid that happening I started to use this routine: I select the Hi-Q. .tqs patch and by returning back I click the option 'Select no Midi patch'. I don't know where I got it but that ensures that no ordinary GM patch will be used by BiaB. It has been my habit so long time that I have not even tested if it's necessary or not any more. And yes, usually these problems are caused by user errors but - I'm sure - not this time. Anyway it's nothing of a serious problem. Actually not a problem at all. Maybe a little nuisance.

It makes sense that lower impedance would be louder, basic ohms law. Right, very close. It's like Ohm's Law but applied to alternating current.

Thank you all for your efforts! I really didn't expect others here to be interested in a carillon, and I appreciate it. I'm going to Mark this Resolved since I've received some info from the head of their tech support. I have to say, it differs from some of what was posted here (not your fault, of course). And, I haven't been able to return to do more testing yet. Once I do, I'll make another post to try to close the loop. etcjoe, can you tell me where you found the info you quoted in your first post? In general, they claim there is no User Manual because they market it as being so easy to use on the console itself. Nonsense. There is a lot of technical info and I had to dig for it. The answer to a question as simple as "what is the type of connection for a monitor speaker in the same room as the console", is unknown without removing the back panel. Answer: XLR line-level output. My source said, use MIDI Type 0. That alone may account for why my test files didn't work; I assumed MIDI Type 1. They didn't know anything about a SYSEX file or any kind of info required to be in the MIDI file. Total news to them. That's why I want to find out where the material etcjoe quoted came from. My source also told me the carillon plays MP3 files. That's a surprise. I found this out when I asked if there were built-in test-tone files so I could verify if our 40-year old speakers are blown (I'm pretty sure they are). He suggested I make my own test file as an MP3.

Cool production. The type of song that makes you sit back and think a little. I also hear some Doobies in there. By the way, neat video too. Brad

I just checked mine (Sennheiser HD598), impedance is 50 ohms. The 2i2 has no problem driving those, as I said I rarely run the volume more than 50%. It makes sense that lower impedance would be louder, basic ohms law.

Hey there Chris, I've worked with David once before too - he's great to work with, and you made a good choice. At first I thought the nylon guitar could use a bit more reverb, but as the song progressed, I'm not so sure. You may have already played around with that. Brad

I can almost see the smile on your face as you guys were recording this. Great jam. I think a little percussion would add a lot too, but that may not be the feel you're going for. Regardless, it was cool to have you bring us into the room to listen to you guys pick a little. Brad

Man Carl, I sure like your style. This has a great sound. It's a bit longer than a lot of the instrumental stuff I've been hearing lately, but I sure like it. It sounds very professionally put together and I really enjoyed the write as well as appreciated the musicianship. Brad

- Just bumping this thread to report that nothing new has happened yet. The website still states that Encore 6 will be released in Winter 2023. Whichever hemisphere you are in, that's over. The 'development' info that was so promising has not been updated since fall 2022. We can still hope.

Thank you for your reply Rustyspoon#. I just installed the latest update 1111 and at least the render problem seems to be corrected now. The mixer auto renaming is just a small nuisance. Not a problem really. So if this new update proves more stable than 1109 I'll be happy.

Yes, the impedance of the headphones makes a difference in the volume. The lower the impedance, the greater the volume. It's interesting that some of the high-end headphone interfaces like my Grace m900 prefer higher impedance cans, which I use, sort-of. My Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro are 250 ohms, not at all high but high enough that some headphone amps won't give enough volume.

A few words on this also from a developer's perspective. I'm pretty sure that when PGM started using Delphi it was sold and seen as an upgrade to whatever language they used before ... I guess Borland C or Borland Pascal as Delphi was then produced and sold by Borland as an upgrade to a fourth-generation language.. I get what you all are saying, and I support Musocity's suggestion that it could be good to bypass the bbw4.exe. Gordon, I think you are correct that Pascal was the programming language first used for BIAB, but I cannot offer support for that statement; it's just a long-ago memory. That made it a natural move to Delphi. I always loved programming in Pascal - such an elegant language.

This is such a gray area, now made more difficult by AI. But this practice of adding your own melody to a chord progression is normal, legal, and old. As mentioned, it's also a great teaching aid. For example, there are lots of tunes using the chords to I've Got Rhythm. More than a few of PG Music's own demo programs, that are themselves copyrighted, are based on the chord progression of a popular song. I recall reading somewhere that a list existed, but I don't know if that's true. Besides, while I could spot some of the jazz or Bossa Nova tunes, I wouldn't have a clue in many other genres, so the person who made such a list would have to be a master of all music. Now you can have Frank Sinatra sing your song (and the estate is not happy about this). With court cases delving into the nuances of just one song, and musically ignorant juries weighing in, the effort to determine what is a violation of copyright becomes quite a challenge.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
