Re: Edirol SD-90 on FL Studio Isrra29 33 minutes ago Forum: Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Thanks again for the info. I did all the steps you told me to do. My FL Studio recognises the plugin version of Band-in-a-Box, but, there isn't any option to add the patch file on it. Howerver, on the main program version of Band-in-a-Box there the option to add the patch, but on the plugin version not. What do you think I'm doing wrong? I attached some screeshots so that you can see what I'm refering to. Thanks again. [Linked Image from i.ibb.co] [Linked Image from i.ibb.co]

Re: Triplet Mode keeps turning off AudioTrack 1 hour ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Yes, there needs to be some form of indicator that this setting has been manually engaged, but back to the original issue, it's not saved in BIAB Preferences, so how or where should it be handled?

Re: Zuzu WaoBand 1 hour ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Thanks very much for your great feedback, Dave BA, Elliot, David S & David C. Much appreciated. David C: No, it's not Poser, though I have some ancient Poser assets. I use Daz Studio, though due to lack of space on my laptop which I use purely for 3D modelling my character morphs are now 3 generations behind what's now available. I've even had to uninstall over 1/3 of my assets due to lack of space. When Daz started out it introduced the 3Delight render engine, also called 3DL, but once they also included NVIDIA Iray content, designers started to bit by bit design only for the latter, which is a shame as it's a lot harder to see exactly what one is building until its rendered, plus renders take a lot longer. Iray is supposed to allow one to create 'photo-real' images, which is an exaggerated claim as depending on the lighting and other factors both engines are as good. In the above video the initial cyberpunk Zuzu images and 3 of the 6 'agent' ones were built and rendered using Iray, the rest are 3DL, but most people wouldn't be able to tell the which is which.

I agree with Noel. BIAB's notation display tries to show the notation as it would appear on sheet music, whilst also allowing the timing and expression to be unmodified. That's great when intended but can be confusing when not expected. I think triplet-mode is largely for note-entry purposes. Swing-time songs set it automatically, even-time songs clear it automatically. There is a loosely related option to show or hide rests, which was the root of how I learned about BIAB's under-the-surface behaviour. It was hiding rests that I definitely did not want to be hidden. That's on a menu somewhere.

Very, very clever idea for a song, Chris. I enjoyed the instrumental break, plus the reversal of the body and soul perspectives in the final verse.

Re: NO REVOLUTION WaoBand 2 hours ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
I love the piano and organ in this composition. It's another great song, lyrically, from you, impressive and heartfelt in the vocal expression, though I didn't get an anti-love vibe from it at all. I thought that brief break before the final verse was made for a short B3 solo, which could have also been added to the end.

Thanks, floyd! Really glad you liked it. Yeah, that perp was so dumb he thought if he got her to rent the car, it would prove he was innocent, but the video was pretty conclusive.

Just by the way, as it might be useful here, there are some BIAB 'timebase' options to allow half-time, double-time and triple-time. The manual has details.

Re: AI and the Future Notes Norton 3 hours ago Forum: Off-Topic Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Personally (as if that matters to the legal system) I don't think you should be able to copyright a person's voice. On the other hand, if you use it to pretend Elvis or whoever is singing the song, it's fraud, and that shouldn't be allowed. I think if AI generates the vocals (or whatever) on the song, the vocal credit should simply go to the AI App. And example would be if the song is called “Future Rock”, the credit would read “vocals by ____ using samples of Elvis Presley's voice” where _____ is replaced by the AI app.

Re: Triplet Mode keeps turning off Matt Finley 4 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Interesting question. Within one song I may have triplet resolution on for some notation and off for the rest, or vice-versa. But I could live with the ‘majority’ setting being saved with the song IF there were a clear visible indicator. Something like +2 transposition in effect.

Izzy, THANKS for the listen and the input! "Instrumentation" is apparently used more in the technology field, but I know EXACTLY what you mean, so keep using it as far as I'm concerned. Ha!

1) No. Think of this as a translator. 2) I put mine in a folder I created in /bb but I think it can be anywhere (except C:/Program Files); when selecting a MIDI patch, you just locate it. I’ll double-check this.

As so many have noted you definitely captured the late 60's Beatles feel. The production is great and we love the sentiment of the write. Excellent work with the synth vocals indeed.

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."
