Hi Jimj, It's nice to hear another one from you. I've always enjoyed your vocals - they're definitive but not intrusive. They blend perfectly with the backing tracks. That can be a tricky balance, but you always seem to find the perfect. Blend. I loved this line: "Let the ocean be my private dancer." That's an excellent choice of words that says more than their generic, individual connotations. Sweet! Thanks for a most delightful listen. Alan

For sharing files, Dropbox is as good as any, better than most. Be careful of the privileges, however. Giving upload privileges to a folder or file also gives someone the ability to edit and delete. I will share a folder with two sub-folders—one for uploading and the other for downloading only without the ability to delete.

WOW! This is fantastic! Peter slays the guitar track as Janice just wraps the listener into her nearly hypnotic, convincing voice. And the mix - well, the existing superlatives fall short of description. And yep, Janice gives 67 a real nice look. She's a lot prettier than you, Bud! I can't find any more words to say to describe this great work- all that come to mind are insufficient. I forgot to mention, I really like the song and the performance. Alan

Scott, Good music doesn't need to be further defined, in my opinion. If it's a great sound, what difference doies it make how you define it after that. Goos speaks fore itsself. And this is indeed good music. I really enjoyed the strong percussion - it drives the song all the way. All those little background treats along the way were terrific! I enjoyed this very much! Alan

Alan, I enjoyed your song and guitar playing, very tastefully done! Hi Bob, Thank you for the listen and very nice remarks. No, that is not me playing the lead acoustic. It's a BIAB RT - one of my favorites. I made a very good living playing music. I still play pretty good, but the finness and clarity of my playing has suffered a bit - I'm almost 80 years old. But I still enjoy it it. Wishing you well, Alan

I think I messed up my ASIO4ALL set up accidentally quickly removing files from my PC. I'm on Win 10 with Biab 15 installed. I have the onboard Realtek Soundcard that is showing a red X on it in my bottom task tray. I've tried many times to troubleshoot to no avail. I also connected my iPhone to my PC - bluetooth connect and everytime I make a phone call it shows up on my PC screen asking if I want to use the iPhone's speaker as one of the choices. My Realtek "choice" of audio output is NOT listed when I open the midi/audio driver selection in Biab either. I also can't hear anything from Youtube either. When I click on my speaker icon in sys tray it asks to troubleshoot, which I've said yes at least 10x so far, neg results. I've tried updating driver(s) through control panel and all are updated EXCEPT for VSTMidi driver and it says there is no driver at all. The last ASIO driver I installed was the Asio4ALL the last time it worked was using Biab. I'm at a loss here and taking a break to get some food in me rn. I would appreciate any advice and hellp here. TYVM !!!! I'm hoping possibly a reinstall of an ASIO driver might help the problem? And, oh yessssss, I've restarted my PC after several failing attempts with drivers/updates/reinstalls etc . . . . At your mercy here, Trax of my tears.

In my case my hearing aids have no place in any of my music making. They are great for social events and business meetings, but when playing they just mess with all the frequencies. I can't trust them to provide me feedback on how I am sounding. Maybe just me.

Did you follow the directions in the manual? Generating Synthetic Vocal Your Melody or Soloist track with lyrics can be rendered to a vocal audio track, with built-in support for the popular online vocal synth “Sinsy.” To access this feature, you should first enter melodies and note-based lyrics to the Melody or Soloist track. If no lyrics are present, you can still generate a vocal synth using the syllable of your choice (e.g. la la la). Press the [Vocal Synth] button on the Notation window toolbar or right-click on the Notation window and select either of the Vocal Synth menu items. With the manual mode, Band-in-a-Box creates a Sound.XML file, which you need to upload to the Sinsy server. When the Sinsy has generated an audio file with a vocal synth, import it to Band-in-a-Box. Normally, you would use the auto mode, which does this process automatically for you. When you choose an auto mode, the Generate Synthetic Vocal dialog will open. Language: The choice is English or Japanese. Select English unless your lyrics are entered in Japanese. Vocalist: Choose one of the female or male vocalists. If the language is set to English, you can only select an English singer. Gender Parameters: You can adjust the gender of the voice in a range from -0.8 to +0.8. Higher values are more masculine. The default is 0.55. Vibrato Intensity: This controls the amount of vibrato in the voice. The range is from 0 to 2. The default is 1. Pitch Shifting: This setting will shift pitch in semitones. The range is from -24 to +24. A setting of -12 would be down one octave. The default is 0. For Melody notes with no lyrics use: If the track does not include lyrics, you can enter a syllable (.e.g. la) to use for notes with no lyrics. (Note: If you select a Japanese vocalist, you need to enter a Japanese syllable.) When you press [OK], your song will be sent automatically to the Sinsy server and will be rendered to a vocal synth. This may take a few minutes. When the vocal synth has been generated and imported to the Audio track, a flash message shows, and the Mixer expands to show the Audio panel. Press the [Play] toolbar button to hear the vocal synth singing your song!

You achieved a warm, gentle sound with this production. Good vocal and harmony! The music captures the essence of the lyrics, and I really like the chorus.

In a recent PG chat I was told that there is no simple switch to turn on or off the metronome or click during playback of a song I have created in BB. I was told I have to go through a long list of menus to turn it on or off. Is there some workaround for this? Currently no, however I have previously added this as a feature request, id# 4847. An option unless or until PGM add the option might be an AutoKotKey script, frequently used by our now absent friend musocity And by me, AutoHotKey is great!

At the present, we have no idea how this will affect purchases of BIAB. Like others have mentioned, the situation can change on an hourly basis. Either way, we are not aware of any US customers who have been hit with additional charges related to tariffs. @jacko-karel: the US tariffs regard US imports from Canada. I do not see why they could have any effect between Canada-EU trade. That's correct - we are a Canadian company, so US tariffs do not affect purchases from outside the US. and if they don't make a deal then the US will set the deal because they are the ones that set the deal I certainly hope "the deal" is to not make Canada the 51st State, tariffs or no tariffs. I like Canada just the way it is and dare I say that the rest of the world (including Americans) would agree with me? I certainly agree!

Hello all. Thanks for responding. OK. 1. I have a song with a style that has Piano, Bass and Drums. 2. I add to the above, a utility track selecting vocal oohs and aahs. 3. I generate the song and what I hear from the vocal track, is oohs, aahs and STRINGS or a PAD 4. Where is the strings or pad coming from?? In Band-in-a-Box please go to Options > Return To Factory Settings. If it asks you to choose between MOST or ALL, choose ALL. I think that'll solve it.

I listened 4 times to your song. It's intriguing, in the way your AI-personell sing it, the lyrics and the music itself. And intriguing means; very interesting, good, nice, creative. Maybe it means more, but for now it's enough. The vocals are very good. To me it seems a lot of work to let them sing so rapidly while sounding so nice. The song itself has something of a musical-song. Especially in the choruses. That makes it cheerful, while also a bit sad. I have translated your lyrics, because I couldn't get everything that was sung. They are wonderful and complicated at the same time! And another thing; I didn't think this was a song of yours. It's really different, but the way I started my text; intriguing. Hans Thanks Hans for your super positive comment  And for all those listenings Glad you worked out the lyrics, maybe too complicated, but I can happily wallow in your "wonderful" word  Janne

Very nice to hear Chris back in the business. Closer to fast pop rock reminding me of Moonlight Shadow and Dire Straits, but the blues is still present in the lyrics and Dave's guitar stretching. "The sky is dark, but the sun won’t set" and "The air feels heavy, but no thunder breaks" create a strong, oppressive atmosphere. The energetic tempo expresses nicely the hectic town life, but also the endless creativity flow of Blue Attitude. Chris's voice, Dave's playing and Marty's bass sound like you have all been drinking from the fountain of youth, nothing can stop you now. Janne

I've been waiting for this to be listed on this forum, because this is easily in the top 3 Marty songs Also one that has been playing in my head especially when I've been down or walking in the mire. There's much pain in the lyrics, but I can safely drown in the hurt by listening to this excellent blues. Very touching. Excellent band, Dave's guitar is most emotional ever and so is your voice - every word bleeds. There's simply nothing here that needs changing, lyrics, melody, chords, playing, singing, arrangement, mix, all are of the highest quality. The song is a masterpiece and should become a blues standard. And back to listen to it for one more time... Janne

Maybe it could be of use to others to also put this into into some of the other forum "tips" as "tracscription support software". (maybe there are other useful tools for transcription as well that could be added) I was not aware of the tracscription support in GP8. I have minly used the software "Trancribe" before but it has no functionality for notation. I find it very helpful to be able to drop an audio file into GP8 and align synk points on the audio and then to be able to notate manually or play from midi instrument the corresponding score for that part. (I only have some problem with the midi sound in GP8 it seems to me uneven, probably some configuration issues).

In live play----after playing a song with utility tracks, the next song, with no utility tracks, should only show the default mixer and not the utility tracks that are not in use on that song.

Oh, you are tapping into a fine selection of songs when you tap into Huddie Ledbetter. And you are tapping with great talent, Arri. Your guitar and banjo work steals the show. I wish Ledbelly could hear these versions of yours, especailly over a hundred years later. So well done!

It sounds like all the effort and grey hairs were worth it, Herb. 😊 We agree with the Carrie Underwood comparisons too. You and the wrecking crew worked well together. Well done! J&B Everyone keeps talking about Underwood. I'm going to have to go listen to some of her stuff and compare for myself I guess. But either way, that's a nice compliment. Thanks for listening and jumping in.
