Light set me Free Hi All Sorry I have been a bit scarce recently. I hope to change that over the next week or so. I have been busy with an album that I am wholly and completely sick of (isn't that the first mistake? Tweeking endlessly with the mix?)and I am no longer sure it is much good (I am sure that is always the case!!) Anyway, our friend Mario introduced me to and helped me with working with midi. I purchased Dimension Pro for the grand old price of $15 and this is my first tune that I did with midi. It is for a friend who wants to use the music in yoga videos. It is all midi, synth and a bird tweet loop. The basic track was produced in BIAB and it was mixed in RealBand. I may get round to putting vocals in for the mantra "Light set me free"that is in the song title (one of these days!) Any comments are always welcome as usual.

Hi Joanne,
This is a beautiful tune, very suitable for yoga.
It surely calmed us down!
Regards,
Rob and Anne-Marie

Very pretty!! Don't worry about your album. I'm sure it's great! I remember being heavily into my first CD and listening to the tracks, I couldn't even tell if the vocals were in tune. Once you have a little space, I'm sure you'll be very happy with the final product as the listeners on this forum have always been with your work. Take care!! Greg

Hi Joanne ...
Indeed, very pretty! Soothing, relaxing and a real mood setter. Great job!
And like Greg said, put a little distance between yourself and the album for a short while ... then go back with fresh ears. I'll bet it's top shelf all the way! Best to you ...
Alan & Di

Joanne,
That was nicely put together. I grabbed the $15 DP, too. Haven't used it yet... but that piano sounded pretty nice...
A good yoga piece.

Hi Trevor, Moslenhouse, Floyd, Eric and Patrick
Thank you so much. I am really enjoying taking a break from the album to work on these instrumental tunes. It is something I never thought I was much good at. I suppose you never know until you give it a try.'
Floyd, I do hope you get to use DP soon. It has opened up a whole new world for me. I can now explore all those styles I couldn't even think of using before because they had midi in them. I am also mixing midi and real tracks quite a bit.
Patrick, I haven't heard of or tried Rapture yet but DP has enough to keep me busy for the rest of my life!

I just picked up Dimension Pro on eBay ... but it cost me $24.00. Should be here next Monday or Tuesday. I used to be pretty good at pickin' ... before the focal dystonia kicked in ... but was never very good with the "gadgets"! we'll see how it goes .. looking forward to playing around with it. If I get lost or confused, I'll come yelling for help!
Alan

Hi, Josie !:))
Late as ususal I really needed
this most soothing of tunes
to start up this beautiful day
over here in Helsinki ! I am prepping
myself to meet with my new ladyfriend
down at the market place ( it is no
more than a 1,5 km walk from where
I live) ! :)) You are perfectly right,
at least I share your feelings when it
comes to working with a record, you´ll never
be perfectly satisfied with the end result
but then again, maybe that is just how it
should be ??
The best of luck with your album !:))
Cheers
Dani

Josie, Whilst listening to your song I got stuck in the lotus position and needed help from a neighbour to move again.  Seriously tho' BIAB is great with the right MIDI VSTi. You ought to have a look at EMU Proteus free and UVI workstation free THose are the only ones I can remember but if you wish I will, when next on my music computer get a list of all the other free ones I have. I like the word free.  enjoyed Alyn

Welcome to the Team David!
We are thrilled to say that we've added David to our Customer Service Team here at PG Music!
You may have already noticed him - he's already made his appearance here on the Forums, chiming in with assistance and User Showcase Song Feedback.
Welcome to the team David!
Updated Song Titles Browser in Band-in-a-Box® 2020!
If you're looking for a Band-in-a-Box® Style in the feel of a familiar/popular song title, then the Song Titles Browser option in the Band-in-a-Box® StylePicker is the perfect feature for you!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2020, we’ve added 3,400 more song titles including requests from users, so there are now 14,000 titles to search from!
Just type in a familiar song title or artist name - once you have found the song, press the [OK - Find Matching Styles] button. This will take you to the StylePicker window with styles that best match the tempo, feel, and genre of the selected song title.
Didn't find the song you were searching for? Post your title request to our Wishlist forum: Songs to add to Band-in-a-Box Titles database - we think that the 3,400 new titles added with Version 2020 is proof that we're paying attention!
Learn more about the different features of the Band-in-a-Box® StylePicker here.
SongPicker Enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2020 for Mac!
The Band-in-a-Box® SongPicker has been enhanced with our newest 2020 version!
The SongPicker now builds faster for large song lists (>30K and up to 60,000 songs). The [Song] button (or the [Open] button) now has 3 additional menu items to launch the SongPicker.
- Open SongPicker in Current Folder: This opens the SongPicker in the current folder of the last loaded song.
- Open SongPicker in Home Folder: This opens the SongPicker in the home folder, which is Applications/Band-in-a-Box/MySongs or as set in the SongPicker.
- Open SongPicker in Favorite Folder: This launches the Favorite Folder dialog which allows you to choose any previously used folder where a song was loaded from, and then open the SongPicker in that folder.
In the SongPicker, there is a new “Open in Home” option. If this is enabled, the SongPicker will always open in the home folder instead of the current folder when you press the default [Song] button to open the SongPicker.
Searching for songs matching a chord progression or melody has been enhanced. There are three new checkboxes: "Key must match exactly," "Chord Extension must match exactly", and "Time Signature must match."
Click here to jump to the SongPicker subject in our New Features video to learn more. (32:11)
(read more about this feature in our Band-in-a-Box 2020 for Mac Online Upgrade Manual.)

Thanks for sharing, Pipeline!
New "Feature Browser" in Band-in-a-Box® 2020 for Mac
Band-in-a-Box® has so many features! We add 50 new ones with every version, so you may have forgotten all the different things that Band-in-a-Box® can do. Fortunately, with the release of Band-in-a-Box® 2020 we've solved this issue by added a Feature Browser!
How does it work? Access this feature by clicking on the [?] button on the main screen of the program or pressing the / Enter keys on the Chord Sheet. This dialog lists many features of the program and allows you to browse them, find the feature by text filter, read descriptions about the feature, find how to launch the feature, access to the online information or video about the feature, and do more.
Examples of a few situations where this feature is helpful:
-You know about a feature but don't know how to find it. Just type a part of the feature name and you'll see the hotkeys, menu, and toolbar info on how to launch it. For example, if you want to launch the Chord Builder but don’t know how to do it, type "builder" in the text filter, and you will quickly find the Chord Builder.
-You are exploring available features for Band-in-a-Box. For example, if you are a guitar player, type the word "guitar" and you'll see what's available.
-You prefer "one-stop-shopping" and would like to launch features from the same dialog.
-You are learning the program and like to browse or watch videos about topics you're interested in.
You can't remember hotkeys and want to review them.
Watch this new feature in action when you jump to the subject in our New Features video: 10:20 - New Feature - Feature Browser
(read more about this feature in our Band-in-a-Box 2020 for Mac Online Upgrade Manual.)
Videos - 202 New RealTracks for Band-in-a-Box® 2020 for Mac®!
