BYOBand, Well, Dan picked up on lyrical influence and you just nailed the musical influence. I very much had R.E.M in mind and that’s one reason I wanted to err on having the vocal sit a tad lower in the mix than more out in front. Good pick up on your part!! Deej

Mario, Thank you for your sense of humor. If Mad magazine was still a thing, this could be a special edition plastic insert. You nailed it. I will say the volume came in kinda low compared to other tunes I've listened to today.

menu potentially useful, the only problem is that every time you make a selection, the window disappear. Make the thing stay in there, so that we can use it at all.

for point 1, I choose a realtrack to sub to a track, and I don't see any way to mark it at 'favourite'. As far as I know, I can only do that for styles. The fact that in most 'pickers' menu, especially the style picker, once I choose a style, it will often revert to the top list for no reason, doesn't help at all, because there's no way to quickly fav the style without getting lost into a maze of stuff again. Add to this that reading menus in the style picker feels like reading a text document, every line looks the same so often I have to read the whole thing before finding the one I want. Please make it as easy as possible to find stuff, 'cause there's three mountains of it and we aren't savants.

Check out this thread on dim/dim7 chords. There are a number of settings than can affect what you are seeing. Dim chords, Sour notes etc. There are other settings that affect transposition not covered there.

to the op. love your positivity. if i ever get frustrated with a particular feature i remind myself of three things. one being i HAVE done over 90 serious songs and countless demos useing pg products ie powertracks, bb, and realband. (all unique in the market in their own way.) and second being haveing spent many years in tech all over the world includeing programming of apps that what pg have achieved isnt trivial imho. in fact its darn difficult given all the variables involved... includeing tons of different user pc configurations as well as lots of different sound interfaces plus understanding the operating system itself. third thing being if martin/the abbey/the beatwells had the tech we have today they would probably have thought they were in heaven...lol. compared with what they used yonks ago. (check out old studer 3 tracks sometimes....in pg realband it allows me 256 tracks now...) the proof of the above is we dont see any competitors to the pg products.. which yes have their 'quirks'...but what app doesnt ? i guess i'm a happy go lucky glass is half full kind of guy. lol. once again well said. sometimes there is too much negativity on forums. happiness. om

the 'simple arrangement' feature is still weak: the programs still plays major seconds and ninths even when 'simple arrangement' is on. PG music seems to believe that 'simple' means no sevenths, when it should mean: play the damn chord I specify, no more and no less. Can we please have an option to - only play minor or major triads - ? A basic rule of arranging is: don't do anything that isn't necessary. If the backing plays all that other mumbo-jumbo, it creates two serious problems: 1. IF the notes were wanted in the melody or the soloists, now there's nothing for them to do, because the backing is already doing it. Say I want a 9-8 appoggiatura: some yahoo is already playing it in the backing, so mine will sound weak. I presume people know here that an appoggiatura is NOT a grace note, it is a dissonance taken by leap that lasts AS LONG or LONGER than the note of resolution, otherwise it IS a grace note. A grace note is a very simple, short dissonance that is heard very briefly. An example of true 9-8 appoggiaturas in pop music are the starting notes of every motif in the sax theme of the George Michael's 'Careless Whisper'. If the backing had already these notes, it would detract from the sax theme A LOT. In the end, in homophonic music, which forms the 98 per cent of popular music, is just a 'motor' that falls in the background, because the mind relegates in the background any parts that repeat in a more or less predictable way. It's the soloist , the vocals etc that the listener focuses on, because more change and freedom is expected in these parts. 2. and if the notes were NOT wanted, now you are stuck with them, and make the realtrack useless. Maybe that's easier for PG Music to understand what is needed here. Years ago I complained about the same thing, hopefully it'll happen before I get too old. Even better, it would be great to be able to edit the realtrack notes and move them up or down, if only by one or half step, just to reach a chord note and get rid of these unwanted ones. Thanks !

For Listening, as Matt says, one can create copies of all the demos. They are stored with the BB program in Songs and Lessons and can be saved from the PG Site RealTracks Artist Performance Files page. There's a lot of information, techniques and insight to be studied and learned as well as enjoyed in these Artist Performance Sets.

From all appearances, Zero is working with a Piano instrument. If that's the case, all of the issues listed are overcome by using a SuperMidi Piano instrument. SuperMidi instruments are created and function like RealTracks and have editable notation and sound nearly as good as a RealTrack particularly pianos and organs. It's fairly easy to match SuperMidi with the artist and instrument used to create the SuperMidi instrument.

... The lower image below shows where the Autofix Sour Notes option is found. When I used this option, the diminished triads were corrected. Regards, --Noel As others have said - fantastic research Noel, and thanks for the solution! I have been aware of the 'sour notes' option but have never used it and didn't think of its application in this situation. There's so much flexibility in BIAB! And thanks to Matt's comment as well - apologies I didn't respond sooner, but being in GMT+9:30, it can sometimes take 36 hours before I see other posts - but in this case, it sounds like my tardiness allowed more informed and inquisitive expertise (Noel) to shine.

Alan, Gosh, I am so, so sorry about Di. You have my deepest condolences, and I wish you nothing but the best going forward. The tune is your usual outstanding production, but really like the rock feel to it, giving it a bit more teeth and edge. Lovely guitar work . . . melodically compelling. Just a great listen!! Stay well friend, and keep up with the music . . . it’s gonna help! My very best to you, Deej Hi Deej, It's always a delight to hear from you. Thank you for those really nice comments on the song. I spent more time than usual on this one - about 8 - 10 hours. Di passed peacefully from the associated complications of dementia. It's so much more than memory loss. She still recognized family and close friends almost until the end. This big old four-bedroom, three-bath house is pretty lonely without her. But, I'm slowly working my way back. it's what she would want. All the best, Alan

... I think I have seen an option that goes like 'disable if playback problems', but maybe I dreamed it, 'cause I can't find it. ... I think that the item you refer to is in Song Settings, but I don't think it's related to the issue you describe. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=31043&filename=2025-07-04_7-50-37.jpg)

Marty...I read the other comments and I just have to say I totally agree with the insights and compliments given before me...I especially like Izzy's thoughts and would echo them..."There's So Much More" is more than just a song; it's a philosophical spa treatment for the soul. You've managed to capture that universal ache of unfulfilled potential, the feeling we're all just toddlers staring at a planet-sized ball pit and only playing with a single plastic ring. The imagery of the frozen birds and the armored knight is pure genius, painting a picture of lives lived in stasis or chasing outdated glories."...you and Dave have the magic...so distinctive and so well done on every occasion...but it's your vocals that sell what you're pitching...you did a great job...I'm a fan...you know that!

Love it. Pete. Relateble lyrics in a fine melody, and I like the dynamic build to the chorus. Catchy for sure. Man, extraordinary vocal and that guitar adds so much goodness, too. Hey Marty, thank you very much. I must admit I'm rather pleased with how the guitar turned out. Glad you enjoyed the track👍

Officially, the Tranzport is only supported up to Mac OS X Lion (10.7), which was discontinued 12 years ago. Band-in-a-Box currently supports Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11) and higher. Unless the Tranzport folks decide to update the drivers to officially support modern operating systems then it is very unlikely that we would add support for a device that is no longer being sold.

Marcin is fantastic. Not to diminish this performance at all, but it is in the end a music video and not the capturing of a raw performance. According to the video description... "Marcin compiled and produced this track on a small MIDI keyboard at a living room table". Indeed. It's a brilliant production that I thoroughly enjoyed, but as you say, not a raw performance. I think the sound is too close-mic'd and too consistent to have been a raw performance, especially with the movements he makes, but the absolute proof it's not raw is that the video was made in at least two locations. I wasn't entirely convinced that some sounds weren't also added, but I certainly couldn't say that with any confidence at all.
