Merci pour votre réponse, mais cela ne résoud pas le problème. Avac BIAB il est possible d'opter pour mono (D ou G) vers stéréo. Ainsi une guitare connectée à gauche, par exemple, est entendue au centre. Cette fonction ne semble pas exister sur Real Band. Dommage

Not up to doing video at this point .. would be a ton of work trying to capture all the things involved. With no net gain for me, and my time is better spent elsewhere for now. But for Giggles, the Chord Cells in the above 7/4 song look like below image For the Bars with 3 chords, the chords were on 1, 5 and 7 of the bar .. and the Chord Sheet seems to imply that .. /Edit -Now that I've examined the Chord sheet closer, what exactly is an F5 chord? //OK, Googled it; it's F no 3rd .. ///F5 seems kind of confusing

HI Marty! HA! (your "wander" comment). I have one I'm working on from time to time that I started in 1978. Let's see - I'm closing in on 78 years old - I might want to give that one a higher priority if I expect to finish it! Thank you very much for such kind and supportive comments. I was happy with the lead guitar - it pretty much did its own thing. I used the multirif function only twice. As far as the composition, chords come to me pretty easily, most of the time. I always look forward to your comments. Thanks a bunch! Alan

Re: Audiophile and Ultrapak please post a sample of compressed files Matt Finley Yesterday at 09:10 PM Forum: Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I don't mix for the normal person on the street and I don't know any audio engineer who would. As long as there are people who do know the difference, I will mix for them. As to that chart, I've commented on it before. Listing BIAB 'Standard' at a bit rate of 128 is, I believe, misleading. Yes, some of the WMA files are 128, some actually lower, but WMA compression of 128 sounds better than an MP3 of 128. In some rudimentary tests I did years ago when I wrote that article about the differences between the regular (standard) and audiophile versions, I thought the WMA files sounded closer to a quality comparable to 198. Perhaps others could comment.

Re: I'll Leave It To You Al-David Yesterday at 08:55 PM Forum: User Showcase
HI Floyd, As has been mentioned numerous times previously, your piano work has become exceptional for your music. It's another real nice tool to put into your musical toolbox. And your toolbox already has some pretty nice tools in it. The lyric touches so many possible possibilities and/or interpretations. And you let each listener decide for him/herself how it fits into their mindset. My thoughts about this one have already been touched upon by a previous commenter, and I think you probably know which one it is. Okay, the song, per se: As always, it's a perfect example of a superb project brought to fruition. One aspect of your songs that always jumps out at me after a full listen is the prosody. You meld lyric and vocal nuance so enviably good to the musical bed. There's never a blemish between the written lyric and musical soundscape. Always a perfect fit. It's so good to hear another one from you! best to you and yours, Alan

Re: Odd scrolling behavior selecting styles [PG: cannot duplicate] mrgeeze Yesterday at 08:38 PM Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Macintosh Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I played around with it a bit more. It seems like a combination of actions. Here’s my current observation. Suppose I am scrolling down a styles list of a few hundred. More than one screen so that I need the ability to scroll. All works fine. Then I double click on a style to hear it. Give biab time to build the parts. I can double click any other style on the ones on the visible “page” but cannot scroll at all. Maybe that’s the desired behavior? If I hit the ok button after a delay I can set focus on another style and can again scroll. When “frozen” I can also try to drag the up down scroll bar in the list box (or whatever it’s called) of styles. That shifts the entire list horizontal position a bit but frees up the scrolling As i mentioned, the hardware (mouse keyboard) are fine everywhere else. It’s not the end of the world, it’s just not the behaviour I’m expecting. It seems a non-desired thing. .

Three requests- High String Guitar, Pizzicato… darthurb2 Yesterday at 02:55 PM Forum: Styles and RealTracks Wishlist Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Hi, I would love a Real Track of a High String Guitar. For years a staple of country productions and used to great effect by The Eagles. It’s difficult to point out with an example, as it affords percussive texture without getting in the way. Just equalizing the existing acoustic guitars is a poor substitute. Pizzicato strings is a great effect to be able to use to boost a section without getting in the way. High Strings - Again it’s a wonderful way to add depth and shine without muddying the mix.

I've done a lot of traveling in my time (42 countries and all but 2 states) - i can empathize with the desire to go anywhere with some you care for - and to keep gpoing wherever. Nicely done in all respects. Alan
Thanks Alan. I've had the philosophy for a long time to add nothing to the music that isn't necessary. (see my signature below) Less is more in many cases. Thanks for listening.

Thanks for listening David. I appreciate your comment about reverb. I always second-guess myself when it comes to reverb - have I used too much or too little? My usual MO is to err on the side of caution. Cheers, Mike

Re: Bring It On Home To Me BabuMusic Yesterday at 12:30 PM Forum: User Showcase
Oh, you can't go wrong with Sam Cooke --well, at least you can't go wrong with one of his songs. I asked my wife if we could move to New Zealand. What a terrific take on this beauty. I've played this in so many bands. It was actually one I could play and sing at the same time. hehe I liked ending it with a fast walk to the end --like Bring it on home, boys! Your vocal is peerfect and the production is fabulous. You always pick the best bandmates. That piano is sensational. What a great feell you have going on here. Sam himself would be tapping his toes to this one. So well done, Nigel. Do you take requests? hehe

Re: Having troubles with microchords Matt Finley Yesterday at 11:20 AM Forum: Beginners Forum Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Yes, apparently Herb’s answer seems to be correct based on other reports. I’ve only used microchords a few times on jazz songs, but when I needed them, they worked. I admit I don’t fully understand all the possible combinations and I got lucky.

Hey Marty, You're right, a cacophany of chaos is probably what they lived in. OSHA wasn't created until the 70's so I'm sure management paid little attention to the droning noise levels. In high school I worked in a factory where the repetitive pounding and humming of the machines was quite noticeable and I remember trying to make my pounding compatible to form a crude ryhthm. Maybe that contributed to my interest in music. Anyway, glad you enjoyed this.

Bob: wow ... what a compliment, especially coming from someone like you. Thanks - and thanks for listening smile floyd: thanks smile Glad you liked it smile Alan: thank you for taking the time to listen. "Butter-smooth" ... I'll take that smile Take care of yourself. Ray: thanks so much. I'll keep singing, from time to time, but you've nailed it ... the synth voice gives me a much, much wider range, not to mention better quality of vocal tone (which I'm grateful you were far too kind to mention smile ), so ... I'll probably alternate between the two ... maybe I'll write a duet, one day, with my vocals and Eleanor Forte's? smile Janice, Bud: "nothing left to add or take away" ... thank goodness smile That's a great compliment! As for "effort", I wrote, arraged, mixed it, etc., in one evening, in four hours - but they were very intensive (work-wise) four hours smile Thanks again for being so kind as to listen and comment smile
