I just double clicked on the downloaded installer file and it installed ok, it was several steps but all automatic, and I was on-line. But Audacity needs to be 3.5.0 (I had 3.5.1 and had to find the older version). But now it works.
Hi, Dave, Janne, Scott, Misha, Chulaivet, Wao and Noel, As I wrote in my previous post, I'm late again with responding. I think that is a bad habit of me... I was and am happy with all your comments! Believe it or not, ok, some needed some more attention than others, but untill now I think I'm very fond with your posts. Having said that, I will pay some attention to the individual post from you, the 7 last one, I presume.

Dave, very kind of you. And you're right about the match between my and AM's vocals. I think with those BG's she really shined!

Not that I'm that old, but I have passed the point where the bright future lies ahead. Great vocal performance by you and AM (whose lovely backing vocals have also graced my songs long time ago...), fitting together nicely. Good work with the video, I like the ending with the lid closing, one story/song is finished, but the next one is coming... Janne
Janne, you have good eyes for the details, like that closing of the laptop at the end. And that man also puts down his pencil. I think most older people with pc's still have a pencil close at hand. I have too! Still I think, and I hope you too, around a corner somewhere a tiny, surprising future can be waiting. For instance when it comes to your music. I think a lot of people like it. When you were younger you didn't have the time to spend on music making. And then came BiaB and AI, and suddenly the (second) future lays ahead for you! At least it's a nice tought...

Scott, thanks a lot. Besides all those nice things you said, I also liked that phrase about the build up of the energy during the song. The first heavy guitars were in, but we felt it was unfinished. That solo with the 'Roma violin' was also a bit soft, but I loved to keep it in. AM suggested a heavy guitar after that solo and I thought it would be better after her last BG 'vocals'. I won ;-)

(They do work very nicely with yours) Very neat, layered instrumental arrangement and good mix. Almost like C. Aznavour on steroids Thank you for sharing. Misha.
Misha, I could never have even imagined being compared to Mr. 'She' Aznavour. But surprises do appear to exist!!! I'm now practicing to sing his oeuvre. Only the steroids make my wife a little nervous... There was a tiny reason why her vocals were kept a bit less loud, and not because I am the boss. Thanks for your so nice post.

Chulaivett, what nice post! And what nice you became a pair of 7's. I thought you were much younger, your artistname says chulaivett1966! Now we are a bit apart in age, two years... I win :-)))

Wao, I thought you've already posted your reaction. The Roma violins were dissapointing you wrote. But you also gave compliments. But I love you repeated the compliments 2 times. Thanks for that!!

I have to confess that I empathise with way too many of the lyrics. I love what you've created and what the two of you have produced. --Noel P.S. I enjoyed the lyric video too! That was a good touch.
Noell, what a lovely post you wrote. Thanks for that! And yes, I remember you have listened to my songs before. And coincidentally, I was thinking about you about a week before you posted this (really!) I missed you for some time. I also saw you have a new song now on the forum. I listen to it very soon! Thank you all for this, and for now... back to work! Hans
J&B...man that was really, really good!...I agree with Bob...maybe my new favorite from you all...love the tempo, cadence and the ebb and flow of the gentle melody...Janice, you killed it with your vocals and Peter's solos were perfect...Bud , I am always amazed at your production skills and the lyrics are so relaxing and flowing...not to mention a sitar riff (a little Beatle's touch...why not?)...I absolutely loved this one!
And we loved your review. You mentioned everything we could’ve hoped to achieve. Thanks! J&B
Hola a todos, Actualmente disfruto de la versión Pro y me estoy planteando la actualización a Audiophile, el problema es que no existe version de descarga d debido a si gigantesco tamaño, solo se vende en HDD físico. Alguien ha comprado esto aquí en España?,,,y si así fuera, habría gastos de envío adicionales? gracias u saludo.
Hi, I’ve noticed that the songpicker window doesn’t always seem to pull the song name dynamically from the song file. I store my song files on a cloud folder and access them from BIAB on two different computers. Song picker on both Macs correctly show the song files and most of their metadata - except the song names only show up on the computer I last edited the song on. The column is blank on the other. So I assume that the names are stored somewhere on the program’s host machine only. Any way to finagle the program to pick up all the information dynamically from the song files themselves when the song picker window opens? Cheers, Rocky
What exactly is "classic rock guitar tone" in the first place?
Anything you want. IK multimedia /Amplitude has a new sub $200 compact rig coming out called the Tonex One . Could give the HX stomp some competition . Very portable. Here's today's take on the Tonex 1 This guy has a lot of good stuff on guitar modelling from many providers. Always noodles a bit at start. Solid player. Skip ahead if you don't want to listen.
Is this waiting for the mac version to be finished first before these fixes can be implemented ?? If things were all in one crossplatform these would be fixed by now and released on both versions at the same time, ... and maybe even a Linux version: Band in a Box for linux
Thanx Paj. I have never heard of this company before today.
The same here, Mario. The Arcturus library seems to be missing a lot of the common controls for sound design like ADSR, Filter freq/resonance, etc., but the samples are long and complex and the macros that are provided do a good job of altering the character or tenor of the sound. I'm going through a RIDICULOUSLY long Batch Resave for the Kirk Hunter Kinetic Percussion library at the moment so I can't tell you if the back end (spanner) of Kontakt is available to access additional deep tweaking. Arcturus is niche but I like the fact that the patches generally have a melodic component or undertone. It needs Kontakt 7. The fact that you have to hold down a key or keys for a while to get the whole sound reminds me of, among others, the Soundethers and Atom Hub libraries. Paj 8^)

Thanks guys, a rather impressive piece of software. I wrapped up my project today and was very pleased with the final results. I sent to producer a mix of four tracks: A vocal track ripped by SMP from a UTube vid, A combined drum and bass mix audio track from a forum member, and two VSTi tracks (Piano and Organ). SMP was a great in helping me bring this all together. I got the tempo map from Melodyn but then found SMP would do it just as well, if not easier.
Hi Janne. I loved it! This is such a bright and bouncy number that my feet were tapping along by bar two. At time, it felt like the groove almost had a reggae feel. I really enjoyed your writing. The lyrics worked for me and the chorus was excellent. Saros and Weina were an inspired combination. They sounded excellent together. You really are getting the hang of Synth V's vocaloids. I'm envious All the best, --Noel
Thanks Noel for your pleasant words No need to be envious, you have already done amazing things with Synth V in a very short time Janne
Welcome Izzy. I think it's a cool hip-hop song with some really interesting elements. Lots of good lyrics (I would probably make 3 songs from these lyrics alone) and even if you don't have a typical hip-hop voice, it sounds authentic. A pretty good start to the forum, I think
Another great song to the Greatest Generation!! Well done. So glad we didn't have to land on Normandy today. People would just start crying and have a protest riot, and then break out into tears again when they couldn't log into Facebook. Meanwhile, we would all be living on a potato farm.
<…snip…> Music does not pay as well as some other things even if you are Taylor Swift. <…>
Not sure about Ms. Swift, she seems to be doing all right. Very few musicians make the 'big time', but then very few of any business make 'the big time'. I was a Cable TV Field Engineer for a few years, and it paid much better than music. But I wasn't as happy as I am being a musician. By analyzing what the market in my area desires, and fulfilling that need, I have never been rich, but I've never been poor either. My house, in a nice section of town, is paid off. I did that in 10 years. I don't have luxury items, but I also have zero debt. My small, music business, pays the bills. Life is way too short, and at an early age, I decided to get the most joy and happiness I can, and the least amount of stress and irritation. Other than 2 different day-jobs while testing what it is to be normal, I have, and continue to make my living doing what I would do for free — making music. I'm having a very happy life, so I call that a success story, even though I never made 'the big time'. Each of us has our own tastes and desires, so my life might choices might not fit anyone else.

Good for you. I've played with some incredible musicians that were entertaining, but worked one gig per week. Perhaps because I'm in a small market area, nobody is hiring originality. Analyze your local market, see where the demands are, then supply it. In my area, the gigs that offer steady work are hiphop, country, or pop/rock — all cover song gigs. There is a one day per week jazz venue, and a few that cater to Caribbean or Latin American music. But the gigs are not steady, and there are many more musicians trying for those gigs than there is a demand for them. I play pop/rock, probably 80% covers, done our way, sometimes close, sometimes not. We also mix in country, Caribbean, Latin American, blues, jazz, and a few other genres. Variety seems to work for us, and with over 650 songs, we can adapt our music to the audience of the day (or night). There is more than one way to make money doing music, what works for one person might not work for another and what works for one area might not work for another. What is the supply and demand where you want to gig? Notes ♫

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."
