I have been following the Boot Camp 1 video for Mac BIAB 2023 and am having difficulties in duplicating what's on the video. Specifically when I create a 'playable track' in piano roll view for a RealTrack, I cannot seem to be able to add any notes. I just have the crosshairs and nothing I do will add a note there. Any ideas? Thanks Michael

I think forget about these "fixes" you should not have to wait 6 months, we can do without as many of us have given up on it for so long because of the issues, just focus on fixing the main issue once and for all so you don't have this dragging out year after year as it has been. Just bite the bullet and delete BBW4, do it the right way with a self-contained code allowing for things to be fixed or feature easily added, on "any platform" without all this continuous waiting n waiting. This will filter out all the old hard coded issues and limitations in Biab that have prevented it being compatible with all other DAW's and notation apps. Mission_Impossible.mid Please God, give PG (Jim Phelps (Peter Graves)) the inspiration and enthusiasm to accomplish this mission, and finally get things right once and for all, amen !

Questa canzone spensierata Whisky me l'ha ispirata il mio fantastico gatto: *WHISKY* (Verse 1) C'è un gatto speciale, si chiama Whisky, Porta gioia ogni giorno, come un raggio di sole. Fa le fusa piano, suona così dolce, Pedalare lentamente, un ritmo che conosce. (Chorus) Oh, Whisky, amico peloso, Occhi pieni di luce, sguardo dolce. Whisky, re delle coccole, Ogni giorno con te è pura dolcezza. (Verse 2) Quando è tempo di dormire, si acciambella vicino, Ti fa compagnia, il suo calore divino. Non dimenticare, è un gran giocherellone, Salta e graffia, sempre con passione. (Chorus) Oh, Whisky, amico peloso, Occhi pieni di luce, sguardo dolce. Whisky, re delle coccole, Ogni giorno con te è pura dolcezza. (Bridge) Nel suo mondo incantato, ci porta con sé, Tra fusa e giochi, non ci stanchiamo mai. La sua presenza è un dono, una magia, Whisky, sei la nostra gioia, compagnia. (Chorus) Oh, Whisky, amico peloso, Occhi pieni di luce, sguardo dolce. Whisky, re delle coccole, Ogni giorno con te è pura dolcezza. (Outro) Così continuiamo insieme, ogni giorno più bello, Whisky, con te, il cuore è sempre più pieno. Sei il nostro fantastico gatto, un vero tesoro, Con te accanto, ti adoriamo di cuore.
Time for a little AI fun! Making a modern Pop Song with Band-in-a-Box, ChatGPT, and Synth V Over the last few months, I’ve heard some amazing songs from the User Showcase, with vocals provided by the amazing SynthV vocal synth. People have been asking us for a tutorial style video showing how to use Band-in-a-Box with SynthV to make a song from scratch. There are no live musicians or singers on this track. Of course there is still a lot of important, creative human, musical input that goes into this. As you can see in the video, aside from composing the chord progression and melody, decisions regarding arrangement, mixing, tweaking lyrics placements and sounds. I think of it that the AI gets the creativity flowing, allowing the creative musician the tools to go from nothing to a complete song in a very short time! First off, here’s the finished song, so you get a listen to the finished product. https://demos.pgmusic.com/misc/behindthefame.m4a If you like it, watch the video. Here’s a video where we show you how to go from nothing to a finished “radio ready” modern pop song in a 28 minute video. Either way, let’s hear your comments! Here’s a link to the discussion thread in the Biab forum. https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=810979#Post810979

La mia nuova canzone, una ballata country che penso musicalmente ben si coniuga con la tragica storia autobiografica che racconto dei due componenti del mio gruppo musicale "Gli Angeli del Rock" con cui suonavo negli anni della mia giovinezza, il chitarrista Massimo Iommarini e il bassista Paolo De Felicibus, tragicamente morti prematuramente in due distinti incidenti stradali alle porte del mio paese Atri (Te) - Abruzzo - Italia. Angeli del Rock Spero di averne onorato la memoria. Ecco il testo: -- Gli Angeli del Rock** *Strofa 1:* C'era una volta un gruppo, in un piccolo paese, Dove il rock risuonava, tra sogni e illusioni. Massimo e Paolo, due anime sorelle, Condivisero musica e passioni senza confini. *Strofa 2:* Massimo, un artista con l'anima di Van Gogh, Dipingeva sogni su tele di speranze. Un giorno fatale, un auto l'uccise. Coincidenze misteriose, il destino beffò. *Ritornello:* Oh, vita crudele, perché strappi via, Le anime che amiamo, senza un perché? In questo teatro di mistero e agonia, Cerchiamo risposte, tra il buio e la fé. *Strofa 3:* Era una sera d'inverno, per le prove mancai, Forse un angelo vegliava, e la vita mi salvai. Massimo, in ospedale, rassicurò sua madre, Ma il fato attendeva, con un'ombra scura alle spalle. *Strofa 4:* Paolo, poeta in moto, volava verso il cielo, Lavorava in ospedale, tra dolori e misteri. Il destino crudele, in un sussurro lo chiamò, E una coincidenza strana, la sua vita portò via. *Ritornello:* Oh, vita crudele, perché strappi via, Le anime che amiamo, senza un perché? In questo teatro di mistero e agonia, Cerchiamo risposte, tra il buio e la fé. *Ponte:* Chi decide il nostro cammino, tra gioia e dolore? Chi tesse le fila, in questo mondo incolore? Rifletto, mi chiedo, con il cuore in tempesta, Perché sono ancora qui, mentre loro sono andati? *Strofa 5:* In un ascensore, parole ingiuriose, Un direttore racconta, storie dolorose. Paolo, portato via, in un attimo fatale, Lasciando poesie, come un eterno caleidoscopio. *Ritornello:* Oh, vita crudele, perché strappi via, Le anime che amiamo, senza un perché? In questo teatro di mistero e agonia, Cerchiamo risposte, tra il buio e la fé. *Strofa finale:* Massimo e Paolo, due stelle nel firmamento, La loro musica risuona, nel vento silenzioso. Io rimango qui, con domande e tormenti, Cercando pace, nei ricordi preziosi.

The best just got better A New, FREE Norton Music Fake Disk #2 upgrade is available to anyone who purchased Fake Disk #2 (The Pop/Rock Fake Disk) from Norton Music. Thousands of new styles have been added to BiaB since we first compiled this e-disk back in the 1990s. Plus, we are much better at making these disks than we were back then. We spent well over a year revising this e-disk, assigning new styles, and doing many other things to make the chord progressions portray the songs more faithfully. It's a much better product now, and we are offering this update to you for free. WHY FREE? Because we think it's the right thing to do. As usual, the new styles are MIDI, but the BiaB robot should suggest a Real Style for most of these songs. Why MIDI? If I assigned a Real Style, BiaB would not recommend a MIDI style, so choosing MIDI is the only way to get both MIDI and REAL suggestions to you. In addition, many of the tricks we used to coax a more faithful rendition of the song will only work in MIDI. As always, I recommend that you listen to both the MIDI and Real version to see which one you like better. How to get your free upgrade? I just completed sending individual e-mails to all the users in my database that have a current e-mail address. If you didn't get your e-mail:
E-mail Norton Music (norton @ nortonmusic.com) <- remove the spaces
Put "Free Fake Disk #2 upgrade" in the subject line
Include your current physical and e-mail address. If you have moved since you bought the disk, let me have that address too, and I'll update my records
I'll check my records, and if I have you down as purchasing Disk #2 from me, I'll e-mail the upgrade to you. (Be sure to put my e-mail in your address book, so the anti-spam robots don't nuke it. I won't know it if they do.)
PLEASE, BE PATIENT — I'm doing this by hand, one at a time, and I'm still a gigging musician. If it's been a couple of weeks since you asked, try again. Sometimes e-mail gets lost.
Note: I'm posting this in the Off-Topic forum, and copying it to the Windows and Mac forums to make sure everyone sees it. Please pardon the redundancy. Thanks. I hope the update gives you endless hours of pleasure. Bob 'Notes' Norton ♫
New Feature Request…editing in new bb tracks view. Here's the problem. i genned a rd other day. i liked it except the clap sound. the problem is the clap sound occurs too many times in the track… very laborious to delete every occurrence… so a suggestion…new feature…pattern matching… a possible solution… ..user highlights the section of track to delete…and clicks on a 'delete all occurences in track' button. ..in programming code bb analyses the plus/minus integer sample values.. to create a 'base pattern'...then ...bb removes all occurrences in the track that pattern match the user's highlighted track section..in this case a clap sound. in the past of course i would use a midi track and a piano roll to delete each clap occurrence.. but i just like the quick new genning feature in the new bb tracks view. happiness. om
Questa canzone l'ho scritta oltre 10 anni fa e racconta l'emozione che mi suscito' il rivedere in chat su facebook dopo qualche decennio una compagna di scuola che mi piaceva. Mi sono perso il file della canzone e il testo che scrissi e ho solo questa registrazione video approssimativa con cattivo audio, ma la canzone penso sia piacevole. Saluti da Atri (Te) - Abruzzo - Italia Canzone per te
Un'altra canzone che ho scritto pochi giorni fa, questa volta di genere spensierato. Mi scuso per la qualità della registrazione ma non ho dimestichezza con la tecnologia, sono approssimativo e non amo troppo prendermi sul serio. Saluti da Atri ( Te) - Abruzzo - Italia Innamoramento virtuale Innamoramento virtuale Intro] Nel buio della notte, sullo schermo che brilla, Nasce un sentimento, una luce che scintilla. [Strofa 1] Parole digitate, sorrisi senza voce, Nel labirinto dei messaggi, cresce questa dolce euforia. [Ritornello] Innamoramento virtuale, un sogno irraggiungibile, Nella chat che ci separa, il cuore diventa fragile. [Strofa 2] Parole sospese nell'etere, come stelle in un cielo vuoto, Nel silenzio digitale, il desiderio fa capolino, ignoto. [Ritornello] Innamoramento virtuale, come un'eco nel vuoto, Nella chat che ci divide, il cuore si ritrova solo [Ponte] Ma nel silenzio dei messaggi, resta solo il vuoto, L'innamoramento virtuale, in un mondo così remoto. [Ritornello] Innamoramento virtuale, un legame senza contatto, Tra le righe della chat, cresce questo dolce impatto [Strofa 3] Emozioni senza contatto, come fiori nell'abisso, In un mondo di pixel, il sentimento trova rifugio, indefinito. [Ritornello] Innamoramento virtuale, come una luce nel buio, Tra gli spazi bianchi dello schermo, il desiderio si fa nido.
It's never worked for me. It should work like Reaper's smooth seek, this will transition smoothly from one bar to another. Biab has midi chord input detection (Window > MIDI Chord Detection), if Biab could smooth seek it could be used as a live arranger right NOW, simply by going to that same chord region in the chord sheet that is inputted with a midi keyboard, let alone conductor working properly. To do any of this now you are best to use the BBPlugin in Reaper as you can use midi input/foot pedal to go to any section. How Reaper works now with Instructions in the Plugin makes it even easier as it will play the wma/wav source files directly and transition smoothly from any bar to any bar. You can even have more than one Plugin to give you a lot more playing material and chords that you are normally limited to 255 bars in the main Biab app, having Tabs in Reaper you can have as many songs as you like that you can instantly change to.

I am always looking for RealTrack sets that provide a variety of tracks that are complementary and can be switched out to make different song sections lift or drop or just sound different while still being basically compatible. I hear this in a lot of modern pop songs. Gone are the days when the simple A and B RealTrack options will provide adequate variety in a song! And yes, I am aware that a small number of styles have more than just A and B parts but these are few and far between! So, my suggestion is for PGM to invest some time to curate this enormous collection of tracks and styles to suggest to me several options that would make a compatible and interesting style change for my bridge or chorus! I think this would be a powerful new feature and not too difficult to implement!
If you could bring back whoever it was who constructed and performed this wonderfully vintage sound for the Dixieland sets. Primarily thinking of three things here, slow swung beats (less than 100bpm), 3/4 beats and tango, but obviously doesn't have to be limited to just those.
This something i have done over a 100 times in the past. Why RB, and not Reaper, Studio one, Cakewalk etc? Okay here is why. Because you can compare midi and Audio so seamlessly Let me explain. Here is my process. 1. import a midi tune for a cover song. great right? sound okay but a tad mechanical. Okay add higher quality synths, work each track over to get more realistic phrasing. Awesome right? Maybe but usually, it sounds a bit weak compared to the original tune and also sounds like a karaoke song at best. So you say i want to put my own spin but retain the signature licks. 2. audition a few RealTracks to replace a couple of the midi tracks. Here is where RB shines. You can with the greatest of ease A B the tracks and hear them in the song mute and unmute each work your way through the song and only replace what make the song a bit better and make it your take on the song. 3. spend your midi and synth processing for the signature licks. Now you can use Playable tracks to link the midi to a RT sound that gives more realism to the lick. Okay why not with a different DAW and the plugin? because it is just easier in RB due to the ability to not have to manipulate all the tracks without bouncing and syncing a plugin with a DAW. TShis is just one more thing RB does really well. It has very robust midi, and excellent RT/RD tools, and the ability to incorporate Playable tracks.
