Ray, this sounds really good. I didn't mind that guitar. Super groove. I would put this in the late 60's pop era. I liked this one a lot.

It can't be fixed because they are working on the Mac for last 5 months so there is no one to program BBW4 that it needs before anything can be done with the JUCE Plugin. It's all wrong how it all works, or doesn't work. That's why I say "the writing is on the wall".

Welcome Randy, Those are some serious chops man. I agree about the drums being to loud. I would also change the snare as there much better sounding ones, but that is just my opinion. Repeating a phrase creates a song and separates it from a jam. I liked it.

Re: Suddenly ASIO and WAS stop producing audio output, only MME does! Melody_Maker Yesterday at 11:55 PM Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts

Dear Peter, I was finally able to identify the source of my problem and fix it : For ASIO or WAS to work straight away when Bb is launched, the CoyoteWT DXi instrument package needs to be installed on the system. However, when during Bb 2024 installation, "Coyote WaveTable DXi Synth" checkbox appears as optional, which may be misleading. As soon as I installed CoyoteWT, ASIO or WAS audio output started working properly again. (Installer source in C:\Bb\Data\Installers\SetupCoyoteWT13.exe) My 2 cents : Either make the installation of Coyote mandatory (no checkbox), or make sure that its absence doesn't interfere with the initialization of the ASIO driver when Bb is launched. Hope this will be useful wink Best regards Bob

When we saw that you wrote the initial versiohtn in 1976 we thought about what a great year that was as it was the year J and B met each other. 😊 Anyhow, this is lovely, Hans. Your vocals are very expressive and the electro flute and piano with the fingerpicked guitar are such a pretty combination. Marty’s bass is always a perfect match! The sentiment of “you’re in my arms so come what may” is a sentiment that we share too. Also, the video has truly beautiful scenery and such a pretty cat too. We enjoyed this song’s revival, J&B

It's kind of like a Senior benefit for Senior patrons who have supported and done a lot of word-of-mouth advertising over the DECADES. It all evens out. Believe me.
There are way too many differences between the Mac and Windows versions of BIAB for a simple lacense swap and download to just work.

All the he instruments weaving in and out is very nice And the sad fiddle, cello and your strings - yes!

Herb, glad you enjoyed wading back in time with us! Frogs would have definitely killed the vibe...I might have croaked. Ha! (groan)

Were it not long out of print, I wouldn't give any spoilers but I really liked when he talked about practical investing. Telling about all the worthless land he owned in Texas and pointing out that, had he invested in a restaurant and a dry cleaners, he could eat and get his laundry done during the hard times. I still quote the Kenny Rogers Rule: A person must contribute 25% or more to a song to receive credit.

What I would have liked to see was some explanation of why I should spend an additional 20 minutes of the week listening to Ted. Here's how Ted summarizes his video:
Quote
We cannot trust these tech companies to preserve it. We have moved to the streaming model. We no longer buy music. It isn't like a library we can go check out whatever we want. I suggest that we need to re-examine this. We need to look at ways of revitalizing the physical album and we need to ask ourselves do we want to own or do we just want a stream. Because I would say that if we believe we want to borrow music, music itself may be on borrowed time.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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.
