Someone commented on PG Music's latest FB post about BiaB that he had just released an album using BiaB and Synth V for vocals. I know that BiaB has a built in synthesizer for vocals, but it sounds too robotic for my taste. Here's a link to his album on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6og4V0RZATGwP9an8OcygbIf you don't have a Spotify account, the album is available on all other platforms as well. It's called "Prof P - The Heroine's Journey." And here's a link to the Synthesizer V website: https://synthesizerv.com/en/Check it out and let me know what you think of it.

Last night I downloaded and installed the trial version. But when I tried to use the program, there wasn't any singers in the voice database. So then I spent a considerable amount of time searching through the Synthesizer V forum for any posts that would tell me what to do next. Eventually, I found a couple that did. I also found out that there is no expiration on the trial version. The only limitation on the trial version is that a license must be purchased if the program is going to be used for commercial purposes. IOW, if a person is using the program for fun or for demos (which is my intended use---demos of BiaB arrangements of my songs), a license is not required. Commercial users can obtain a licence for $80, which is much cheaper than Vocaloid costs. Anyway, I found out that there is only one English singer (her name is Eleanor Forte) and that she must be downloaded and installed as a separate program. Synthesizer V will have to be re-started after installation in order for it to find and load the singer. The link to download the singer program is on the same page as the link to download Synthesizer V, but you have to scroll down to find Eleanor's download button: https://synthesizerv.com/en/download/After I got the program working with Eleanor's voice, I used it to create a vocal track for one of my songs. Overall, I am pleased with the results and the overall process, which wasn't as difficult as I expected it to be. However, I did have to enter the lyrics manually after I imported a midi file of my melody that I had previously exported from MuseScore. It would be nice if the program would import XML files because they contain the lyrics tied to the notes in the melody. That would save a lot of time. I did see a request for that in the forum, so the company may add that option in the future. Even so, I did have to change the wording of some of my lyrics in order to get Eleanor to pronounce them properly. So, that needs a bit of improvement. Even so, the overall results were worth the time and effort. I'll post a link to my song in the User Showcase in the next few days after I fine tune it a bit more.

I found Prof P's album post in the User Showcase forum from last month. His entire album is on Youtube and other platforms. Here's the link to his post: https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=558708&gonew=1#UNREADThe vocals in the songs on this album illustrate Synthesizer V's capabilities.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
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."
