Alan, I know you're a smart guy, so I'm assuming you've got anti-virus software. So do you know how the hack happened? And is there a reason you're posting this to the Showcase instead of another forum such as Off - Topic?

I know I had to take the same approach with Reaper calling on BBW using AutoHotkey scripts that I ran from a Lua script in Reaper to access Biab functions then I could write the data to clipboard to send to Biab and copy to send back to Reaper. reaper.ExecProcess([[cmd.exe /C " cd ]] .. [[C:\\Program Files\\AutoHotkey & AutoHotkey.exe]]..[[ "]]..script_path..[[ahk\scripts\play.ahk"]],0)
reaper.CF_SetClipboard( start_measures ..",".. number_measures )
text_tempo = reaper.CF_GetClipboard()
that was all a lot of messing around so I just put it all in one script to read the current frozen SGU and transfer instantly. Why have a hidden Biab running in the background when you can run the main Biab app and instantly transfer giving a lot more control ? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default_dark/lightbulb.gif) But eventually I can't see any other way than a self-contained crossplatform JUCE plugin that does it all, and works the same instantly in all DAWs. It just takes way too many years getting there, I'm gettin' old  ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=27754&filename=BB24-Transfer-Track-Reaper.gif)

The lead and harmony vocals well represent the quick progress you are making with this technology. The whole thought of programming that and creating all the nuances makes our heads spin!  The acoustic sounds excellent as does the entire mix. The helds are very nice. Well done! J&B J&B...thanks...it's time consuming for sure but fun so far...Dan Very nice Dan! Great Praise and Worship tune! Thanks David...I appreciate it...Dan

Hi Ray, Vicarn and Firesong, It was very nice reading your posts about the song. Thanks for that. The topic is sad, but the making of it, was a nice process. Not only the vocals from Anne-Marie and me, but also the choice of instruments and builds of the song. After we mixed our vocals, AM came with a suggestion to make another 'break' like the one after the first chorus. She likes one after the solo, but I did it after her marvellous bg-vocals in the middle, for the last part of the song. I was happy she also liked that more. But now about you: The change of texture with the heavier guitars was welcome but very brief...a tease? Two voices that work well together...I'd have liked a little more of Anne-Marie. We're certainly constructed with a obsolescence integrated. Fab stuff. Hi Ray, as I wrote, we added another break with the heavy guitar. If I had done more of that, the character of the song would be changed too much. In my opinion. And about the mixing of our vocals, or more AM, well... there was something why we didn't do that. But I was glad I asked her to remove all excisting BG's and do whatever she want on that. And that worked out perfectlly. I'm glad you agreed with that too. And I also agree with your last line. Though that doesn't mean you have to be happy with that. Well done you two. I would bring Anne-Marie's voice up a little though and eq it to match your tone if you can. Vic Hi Vic, I understand you liker her voice more than mine, but as I wrote to Ray, we had our reasons to do what we did. Maybe in another song... And my vocals are what they are. And I still like them, although they are getting older as well! Hans and Anne-Marie...very nice duet work here...certainly an interesting track...rock guitars and banjos...an interesting mix of instruments that compose a great band..."aging"...ahh...fun...well done Hans...I always adore Anne-Marie's voice...you can't go wrong there! Hi firesong, thanks for your comment, but I feel something special in the words you choose, especially about aging. I can't put my finger on what exactly you mean, maybe you would name it differently? Tell me! Have a nice day and lots of inspiration, Hans

One reason this is best done in the DAW is that BiaB has a particular protocol for handilng its tracks due to the way styles are created. once you get the results you want then move to DAW of choice. Thanks Rob! That's what I'll do. Have a nice day!

I never intended to get into the zone, I never tried to do it, and I don't think you can intentionally get into the flow. With enough experience, it just started happening. I didn't even notice it at first. Agreed, that has been my experience. And the brain science research will continue. Not sure where it will lead, most likely in unexpected destinations; perhaps to better understand and treat savants.

FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS RE BUYING A USB AUDIO INTERFACE. (this is more aimed at users new to music production…. based on many years of buying interfaces for myself, and seeing typical mistakes made by others in buying etc etc.) 1..just because a friend is happy with an interface doesnt necessarily mean you will be. 2..there are so many differently configured pc's out there that what might work on one pc might not on another. 3..just because someone on the net says 'i'm happy with xyz' doesnt necessarily mean you will be particularly if you have different feature set needs. 4..if you're baffled why an interface doesnt work on your pc but does on someone's pc you know…it could be simply that your friend has a pc that's been specifically optimised for music production or custom built by a manufacturer for music production and tweaked or your friend isnt on the net whereas you are and thus your running special protection mechanisms that take pc resources away from the primary task of music production. There are many reasons… regarding buying or optimising an existing pc for music production have a leisurely read of this… https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=795663#Post795663 5.so youve been on one or more recording forums and are baffled by the many different usb audio interface recommendations. For example, start a thread on a forum… 'I'm a new user…what do you all recommend as a usb audio interface'....youll get a load of different answers and opinions from studios large and small…. thus its important to assess your OWN feature set needs which might be completely different from people recommending a product on the thread you started. 6..as i said in the highlighted thread above to save disappointment its imperative imho to try and test the interface via renting (very inexpensive) for a week or get a 30 day return. The gear shop I deal with has a no questions asked return/money back policy. 7..it's very important to do one's homework prior to purchase. and really research the many many interface offerings on the market versus your needs so you dont miss the best product for you…and i would suggest not to rush into a purchasing decision. The interface, and I can't stress this enough is 'THE HEART OF YOUR STUDIO', i.e. in the same way people take their time re-buying a house to live in…same goes for an interface so buying mistakes arent made. Another reason to 'try before buy'. 8..some people are swayed by user ratings. i suggest you do your own testing and research because your pc might be different in how its configured or they are using hot shot pc's that cost oodles versus your old clunker that might need optimising for music production. 9..A BIG FOCUS in your product search should be interface DRIVERS and their performance. just because someone on the net gushes about their interfaces drivers…maybe your system is different. you won't know till you test ON YOUR PC. 10..i can't stress enough that the combo of pc and interface deliver very low total latency. please read up carefully on the net about how to get a very low latency music production environment... and/or see my link in this post. as you can see the purchasing decision re an interface should not be made without considering various factors. Finally, one's budget should be considered. as ive been in tech for many years I typically buy in the middle price range…as i'm always concerned about rapid changes in technology/obsolescence …just something to consider....also if i see price drops on a product...and its not a rule..but i will ponder if a new product version is coming out. Now you might want to know where you might look at lots of different interfaces. There are many sites on the net that sell a plethora of devices where you can research devices with also interesting articles and/or blogs….eg… https://www.sweetwater.com/c695--USB_Audio_Interfaces https://www.zzounds.com/cat--Audio-Interfaces--2418 https://www.musiciansfriend.com/audio-interfaces and many others on the net….also try your local gear shop if you have one nearby. I hope the above helps someone. happiness. om

Thanks for sharing your journey with upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10. It sounds like quite the adventure! I remember when I tackled a similar upgrade on an old laptop of mine. It's amazing how a little persistence and some helpful YouTube tutorials can make all the difference, right? Kudos to you for figuring it out and getting everything up and running smoothly!

Love your busking attitude, Donny. You're right about meetng some special homeless folk. There I found some of the best life attitudes on the planet. Speaking of attitudes, I love your attitude on this one. Cool song, and love the lyrics. Cool funky feel and that guitar was an excellent choice, although it does seem to cut into the vocal a little at times. I'm not a good judge of cheesy, so I defer to the category speicialists.

Regardless of any political connection, acknowledging Bacharach/David's "Magic Moments" as one of the greatest music compositions of all time is 100% correct. In fact, just about everyone of Bacharach & David's compositions. Such genius is rare, very rare.

Very cool style for this song. Perfect vocal and lyric. Really neat instrumentation. Well done Scott, glad you liked it! Thanks for the listen. Hi Ron. Wow! This is creativity on steroids. I loved it. The 'fairground' arrangement is superb and a perfect fit for RWD's extraordinary lyrics. The three of you have created something very special with this one. Musical brilliance at its best.--Noel Hi, Noel! THANK YOU for the kind comments. It was a lot of fun for all of us, so glad it hit the mark!

Sinds december 2023 mijn nieuwste versie BB2024 in gebruik genomen. Mooi en weer nieuwe mogelijkheden. Doe veel met audio omzetting naar wavfile Nu blijkt dat alleen in deze versie rendering 96 kilohertz een probleem geeft. Krijg een snel en hoog klinkend audiobestand (wave) te horen. Schakel ik terug naar 48 kilohertz geen probleem. In BB2023 is dit geen probleem. Iemand enig idee of hier een verklaring voor is?

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."
