Hi Noel, Good to hear a new song from you! This is one of your best I think, very well written, and your vocal sounds great. Harmonies really work too. Loved it!
My take, and apologies if this is derailing. BIAB could easily be adapted to perform as an Arranger keyboard system, using a fast processor, adequate RAM and a decent SSD. However... Some of the currently advertised System Requirements preclude this from ever being delivered:
Quote
System Requirements for Band-in-a-Box® Windows®: 11/10/8/7 (32 or 64-bit) Minimum 1GB RAM (2GB+ recommended) Minimum 1.0 GHz processor (2GHz+ multicore recommended)
I don't know anyone running Windows 7 (no longer supported for several years by Microsoft) on a 1.0 GHz processor and expecting anything from producing music. And that's what I believe is holding this opportunity back. Can you even start to imagine the interest that would be generated if BIAB was also an Arranger System that could be used with almost any existing keyboard? Nobody with a 1.0 GHz Windows 7 anything is purchasing the 2024 version of BIAB. Move on.
I feel sure that musiclover is being a little tounge-in-cheek' Quote: "For the first time, music fans can hear the incredible story of Abbey Road and its role in music history," For the first time? Really? 231 GBP is about AU$450 (+Handling and delivery fees - a bonus). I think I'll hold off at this point. And I somehow doubt that this is 'the first time'
Nice one Floyd and Bill! Excellent write and vocal as always. I like the way you build the intensity as the track progresses, and how you bring in the strings towards the end. Top notch and totally professional, enjoyed!
for me with vision impairment ive always found over loads of years and irrespective of daw used vol auto is too fiddly. way too fiddly. now the eye docs have improved my sight somewhat... (im ecstatic)...ive tried vol auto again in the spirit of openness and still it frustrates me. one of the reason i still use reaps v2 is i can split bits of my vocal tracks and useing a cursor visually see the waveforms change... so i can reduce or boost bits of vocals useing just an up down cursor and normalisation...oh how i wish i could do this in thenew fab bb tracks view...its a way better way to balance bits of track and then just glue to finish...and obviates the need to use comp lim plugins which can sometimes create side effects. I really hope pg realise that the new fab tracks view done right viz editing could slay the market. i wouldnt need any other app then. i agree keep f5 for roughing things out. and implement the feature ive described above for detailed track balancing...imho you cant beat seeing all the track clip waveforms. makes balancing the bits of a track way way easier cos the waveform changes viz other waveforms...imho....than vol auto fiddling around. happiness. om 🇨🇦 🇬🇧
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.
HI, greetings from Brasil. Choro music should indeed deserve some attention from PG Music. This an example, "Receita de samba", composed by Jacob do Bandolim, one of the great players in choro.
Dan, beautiful song, and expertly arranged and mixed, as usual. That five minutes flew by! You really do a great job combining the various instrument sources into a cohesive, glassy mix. David's points on the intro/interlude are worth consideration. Really like what you're doing using synths to build song ideas in the style you used to sing. Sounds to me like you've made a seamless transition, and each song sounds better than the last. Looking forward to many more!
Beautiful song, Bob! Lots of nice imagery here, "he's a ghost of his prime" is my favorite. The simplicity of the structure and instrumentation works perfectly. The mix is crystal clear. A very enjoyable blast from your past!
Hi all, This minor blues is sung by Hayden (Synthesizer v). https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/charlines-blues Hey Charline, what is wrong with you Why are you feeling blue I prefer when you start singing And all is brightening Even if you’re not miss Joplin Think to her, you will grin Your voice will send under your skin A dose of endorphin Even if I’m not Jimmy Page Please, come with me on stage There, for sure, you will drown the pain Which invades all your brain If something disturbs your spirit Your song will expell it Tell yourself when they hear your voice People really rejoice Even if you’re not miss Joplin Think to her, you will grin Your voice will send under your skin A dose of endorphin RD BossaBrushes RT 713 Acoustic Bass RT 573 Electric Guitar RT 626 Harmonica RT 1648 Solo Acoustic Guitar
Hi, Ronnie. Excellent work, as always. Toe-tapping goodness. 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.
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.
"easy way to change the order of the tracks in the mixer" That would be a nice feature. Not only for a mixer, but naturally for new Track View as well.
Have you tried this page to see if there is a similar one available for Kurzweil? https://www.pgmusic.com/support_miscellaneous.htm Since PT uses Patches.ini and you are here, wondering why you want to go to a .PAT file?
This includes a fix to Studio One 6.6 GUI and authorization problems with Scaler2. I've had problems in the past installing the latest update on Windows, unless you temporarily turn off Windows defender.

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
