OK, I know a lot of you do not stream  but I thought you might still find some interest in a Band in the Box success story (this is an attempt to share good news not to be braggadocio). We are working with our friend/music partner Peter on an album of covers so I, understandably, can’t post the songs on the forum. Janice’s version of Jackson Browne's These Days features her vocal, Peter on guitar with Band in the Box handling the rest. It has received 26,000 plays on Spotify alone over the last month and her number of monthly listeners is over 16,000. For some perspective 10K listeners is achieved by <3% of Spotify’s 10,000,000 artists. We had hoped it might do well as very, very few lady covers of the song have been done. It got on a popular curator playlist that focuses on 70’s hits but rotated off the list today after 4 weeks and the plays will dramatically drop. However Spotify picked it up for their discovery playlist and that will keep it going for a while. She is soooooo modest about it I almost hope she doesn’t see this. So although it’s still tiny regarding streams by Spotify luminaries and many indie artists it has been fun to know that so many folks like what we are doing - beyond family and friends. 😀 Financially? Small potatoes. Would’ve been nice back in the day to have sold 26,000 singles! BTW, if you do stream a search on Janice Merritt will find her on Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, YouTube Music, etc. If you made it this far thanks for your time. And thanks to Peter for suggesting the song and handling the production. J&B

I can't believe that I'm the first to post this here. As one of millions being bombarded with get rich quick schemes promising systems where I learn to let AI do all the work while the money just rolls in, one thing has been bothering me (even if I believed these "money-for-nothing" schemes): Since AI cannot be copyrighted, it cannot be owned. I've been wondering when Google was going to wake up to the fact that they don't have to pay for it. Well, Google has woken up. YouTube Will Not Monetize Content Featuring AI-Generated Videos from July 15, 2025 YouTube prepares crackdown on ‘mass-produced’ and ‘repetitive’ videos YouTube policy updates None of this is likely to stop the videos and the get rich quick ads. Neither will it stop Google et al from monetizing it. But, when people discover that they aren't getting paid for their zillions of views, perhaps the internet will become just a little better. I'm planning on launching a couple of new YouTube channels soon with my own content. Frankly, I'm a good enough voice actor that I've never considered AI content or voices. This is the best news I've read all week!

A free, multitrack spectrum analyzer that's excellent for visualizing and comparing the various tracks in a Reaper mix. It can also be used to compare Reaper's overall mix with reference tracks. The name of this analyzer is "Saike Spectral Analyzer (beta)". Here is a video that explains how this spectral analyzer works. The software routine is obtained through ReaPack Package Manager. 1) From the Reaper home page ( https://www.reaper.fm/), download and install ReaPack. It is found under "Resources". 2) In Reaper, under the "Extensions" menu, click on ReaPack. 3) Select "Browse packages..." 4) In the Search field, enter "saike" (no inverted commas). 4) Select "Saike Spectral Analyzer (beta)"

New, Fun Band-in-a-Box Enhancements from Norton Music If you liked the Ultimate Pop Rock Fake e-Disk You'll Love this new Ultimate Rock Pop Fake e-Disk * One of our most loved Band-in-a-Box collection since the 1990s has been Norton Music's companion e-disk to Hal Leonard's Ultimate Pop Rock Fake Book. The folks at Hal Leonard published a companion book with a similar name, the Ultimate Rock Pop Fake Book. Reversing the Rock and Pop words so they don't supersede the original. It's a Who's Who of Rock/Pop music. From Elvis Presley, to The Beatles, to Madonna, to Prince, to Taylor Swift, the most important stars of the Rock and Pop music are there. We've been working hard to interpret the almost 550 songs ala Band-in-a-Box and we're proud of our work. All this for less than 8¢ per song Just look at the complete song list and partial artist list here https://www.nortonmusic.com/fake52.html The best of both worlds: As usual, we've assigned a MIDI style and the BiaB robot should suggest a Real-Tracks style for each song. Assigning MIDI is the only way to give you both choices. If you don't have the style assigned, no problem, just substitute one if the styles from your Band-in-a-Box collection. Or be adventurous, and reinterpret the song with a different style of music. Check out the free samples in the song list. It's a Pop/Rock gig in a box! If you purchase the optional Fake Book, you can load the song, open the book, and play and/or sing along. It's your Rock/Pop gig in a box. And since they are in Band-in-a-Box .sgu format, you can rearrange them, change the key, pick a new style, and customize them to fit your musical personality. Windows or Mac - it works on both. Norton Music has been making Band-in-a-Box improvement products since the beginning, when Band-in-a-Box was written in pre-Windows DOS, Mac was in OS-6 and there was even an edition for the Atari computer. Our products have been recommended by the good folks at PG music, and rather than try to replace anything PG does, we add value to your favorite auto-accomplishment program, Band-in-a-Box. If you have Band-in-a-Box, you need this e-disk. --- Instant E-Delivery with VISA, Master Card OR PayPal --- * No they're not physical disks anymore, those days are long gone. They are now instant gratification downloads. I cut the price of my disks up to $5 each and no longer have to charge shipping and handling. And you not only save money, but get your software right away in an environmentally friendly way.

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.
