Re: Distributers WaoBand 58 minutes ago Forum: Off-Topic
I did some research on this over a year ago and at the time thought DistroKid was the best possibility. However, I'm just not interested in trying out any distributor for 2 reasons. The first is that I started self-publishing books in 2013, initially very hopeful, but over time I found that there was just so many millions of people worldwide producing eBooks on a regular basis that anything published just becomes another minuscule needle in a stack of minuscule needles. I haven't checked figures for a few years now, but last time I did Amazon alone had 49 million eBooks alone on sale - and the only books they'll promote are already bestsellers. Music is even worse as many thousands of new music tracks get posted daily. My 2nd reason is that I'm a UK pensioner living on State Pension and thus I have to declare any extra income, so even making a little money can cause oodles of bureaucratic problems as the system is designed to stop any kind of benefits payments, even when there's no good reason to. I sell on average about 1.5 books a year and as I posted free copies to friends worldwide after I first published paperbacks I've made less in royalties than I've paid out, thus my self-publishing is classed as a hobby from which no profit is expected to be made. You, Beth, are one of the few persons I know who may understand this, but how successful in any field with any kind of enterprise, dosh-related or not, you are doesn't depend on how much work you put in, or on how positive or enthusiastic you are (as 'new agers' like to think) it all depends on one's prarabdha karma. As great sages of many spiritual traditions affirm - and it's absolutely true in my experience over more than 5 decades - if it's in your 'script' it'll happen; if it isn't it won't.

That is indeed possible! Just be sure to select either the Hard Drive or SSD backup copy during checkout.

In Mike's case I agree, as long as he has significantly more than 205gb available on his internal storage AND has a fast and reliable internet connection. As a general recommendation though I disagree, as Apple has decided to outfit their least expensive computers with only 256gb of storage, and an UltraPAK would take up nearly all of the available space on a brand new machine with no other apps or user data. Our tech support team spends a lot of time helping customers wrangle disk space - this is why we offer the option of physical media, as BB alone would consume 80% of the base model's 256gb drive and requires even more space for the downloads.

That is incorrect - the UltraPAK can be shipped on either an external hard drive or an external SSD, both of which use USB 3 or higher and can transfer at over 100mb/sec. The hard drive is more than fast enough to run BIAB directly from it, and the SSD is even faster.

That is correct - since it was introduced, our one-click Download and Install Manager app has vastly increased customer satisfaction and drastically reduced the amount of tech support calls.

Re: FLAC recordings. Simon - PG Music 1 hour ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Macintosh Jump to new postsJump to new posts

FLAC compression is very different from MP3/WMA/M4A compression. MP3, WMA, and M4A are considered "lossy" compression - that means that the original waveform cannot be reconstructed perfectly. In simple terms it's been described that these algorithms remove frequencies that humans "cannot hear", although it has been proven many times that humans can in fact hear the difference or at least can hear artifacts of the compression. Lossy compression can compress as far as 90:1 (with absolutely abysmal sound quality), however the minimum "acceptable" quality is around 11:1 and "best" quality is 4.5:1 (however still lossy). FLAC is considered a "lossless" form of compression - that means that the original waveform can be reconstructed perfectly bit-for-bit. This is similar to putting a document in a Zip file - once the audio is extracted from the FLAC and saved as a WAV or AIFF the new file is exactly identical to the original, with no means of determining which is which (other than modification/creation date, file header information, or other non-audio metadata). FLAC typically compresses down to 2.5:1 - much bigger than lossy formats, but also much smaller than uncompressed. The only drawback to using FLAC over WAV/AIFF is that it takes a tiny bit more CPU power to decode the files when played - any modern computer is easily capable of that. In short, the new FLAC Audiophile has the exact same sound quality as the previous WAV/AIFF Audiophiles. Neither humans nor machines can tell the difference.

That is correct.

The Xtra Styles PAKs do not include any new RealTracks or RealDrums - they include only style files, which use whatever RealTracks/Drums are installed. The XPro Styles PAKs include some RealTracks/Drums in lossy WMA or M4A format, however these RealTracks are already included in the Audiophile in FLAC format, so there will be no reduction in quality. The 49-PAK includes RealTracks that are not included with the Audiophile, and these can be downloaded in FLAC format.

That's in the name actually - FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec.

Correction - 200. Including the 49-PAK there are 222 new RealTracks/Drums for 2025.

It depends on which package you purchase. As I understand: If you purchase the download-only Audiophile then all 4900+ RealTracks are downloadable in FLAC format. If you purchase the SSD then all 4900+ RealTracks are downloadable in the compressed format. If you purchase the Audiophile PlusPAK then only the new 2025 RealTracks are downloadable in FLAC format (this package does not include any RealTracks or styles from previous years).

TwistedWave is a great app for that, however it is costly, as audio conversion is just one feature out of many. I use a free app called XLD for bulk audio conversion, which does a great job. I've also used a very neat app from Zynaptiq called Myriad, which is not only a bulk audio converter but can do a ton of bulk editing tasks (trim, gain, apply a plugin, etc).

I'm not sure what issue you've got, because it sounds good. As Bud mentioned, the real work happens in the mix. To quote Google's AI summary, mastering "polishes the final mix, making it sound its best across different playback devices and ensuring a consistent, cohesive sound." Assuming the mix is good, there are quite a few tools that will get you that sparkle that's associated with mastering. Most of the mastering tools will focus on bringing your mix into a generally accepted EQ curve. You can also adjust the EQ of the stems to help them fit into the mix better, such as adding high pass filters to everything but the bass so there's not a lot of buildup of low-frequencies that can create muddy mixes. Figuring out where you want specific elements to sit in the mix, and then bandpassing them so they stay out of other tracks is another common action. TrackSpacer is a neat tool for carving harmonic space out of other tracks so they don't mask important tracks. It's one of my favorite plugins. I haven't tried Waves' Curves AQ, but it's on my To-Do list. It automates the things I mentioned, and even seems to have functionality like TrackSpacer. But really, the mix sounds good. smile
Thanks a lot for that extra re mastering, David. As I replied to B&J it echoes what many have stated online or in videos. I've actually had a look ate Waves/Curves and although there's more to it than in Soren AI Mastering I won't try it out as I now don't trust "auto"! laugh

Apologies smile Enjoyed it, J&B PS There is a post entitled "Loudness Target Limits for Streaming Platforms" on the off topics forum. I responded twice and my second response has some reference to our mastering techniques. You might find the info regarding the use of a "reference song" of some interest. FWIW Mastering for us is very personal regarding what WE want it to achieve. No way could we turn that over to AI. I want control over every aspect of it. You can't make a bad mix sound good with mastering but you can make a good mix sound bad. For us the goal is to make good mix sound great. And you have a good mix. And if your mastering program is brickwalling the mix it's time to try something else.
J&B, thanks for the response and for the extra re mastering. You echo what I've read online, many commenters being anti-AI. Soren AI Mastering also has the reference track options and I've tried many from my CD collection which I have on PC, but I found the same not good enough results as I did from the presets/profiles. What I found worked best, but still not quite good enough, was using the WAV file of the actual music I was attempting to master! I was peeved today to receive an email advertising the launch of the 1.2 version of SAIM which now has 27 Style presets, not just the 6 on my only recently bought 1.1 version, but I'm definitely not upgrading to it as they want another €99 and I just don't have any faith in the product. I even tried it on solos stem files - there's only 1 Style for Piano alone - but while it works with piano and organ stems when I try any other instrument - guitar, fiddle, saxophone, etc - I get an error message. I'll check out that 'off topic' post you mentioned once I'm done here. Thanks for that!

But, besides that, I loved the composition and the repeating melody note motif...great work all the way around!
Hey, Tom. No, I didn't have to direct Denisse on the vocal harmonies. It's all her own very professional work. Lucy who sings the differently instrumented "[smooth]" version of the song also provided amazing harmony vocal stem files. I hope to post that here the week after next. This "[rock]" version is 90% the same instrumentation as "Deya Flows V2" - it's 100% the same chord structure - and the Dave Cleveland guitar solo also takes up the whole of the 2nd cycle of the 3 cycles, but I love that guitar solo so much that I just didn't want to shorten it for this.

Re: Building a music production PC that will last 10 years DC Ron Yesterday at 11:08 PM Forum: Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Here's a different approach... Since your service life is 10 years, get a professionally assembled hardware DAW. Select the latest generation processor and twice as much memory as you need. Divide the cost by 10 to get your annual cost. $200-300/year (less than $1/day) for your music hardware backbone is manageable for many music enthusiasts. My studiocat.com DAW purchased in 2017 lasted 8 years, and was still going REALLY strong until Windows 10 end of life spooked me into upgrading to a Windows 11 DAW...

Re: 100+ years old and still kicking! Janice & Bud Yesterday at 08:02 PM Forum: User Showcase
As mentioned PD is defined differently in many countries. The US has about the most stringent rules and most folks misinterpret them thinking a PD sound recording is the same as a PD lyric and melody. Every Jan 1 is "PD Day" in the US. And the PD available songs move forward one year. This started several years ago. For 2025 songs from 1929 and older are PD. This means that if you create your own version not copying anybody else's you own ALL rights to the song thus meeting PG Musics protocol. Most folks do not consider a properly vetted PD song to be a cover. Covers have to be licensed and are not allowed on the forum. We have released entire albums of PD songs. Again this applies to your use of the melody and lyric. Actual audio recordings of old songs have to be a bit older but this is not what we are addressing here as this is mostly related to using one film, etc. The below safe link is helpful. https://web.law.duke.edu/cspd/publicdomainday/2025/ Have fun!!
