Brian

[Hardbopjazz]

Who here uses Brian for creating discographies? It seems simple, but I must be getting old. I can't add a single session. The video tutorial seems simple enough but I am struggling.

Following the turorial step by step should do it. If not, contact Steve Albin with a specific description of your problem, he's  nice and always wlling to help. 

Can you say where your problem starts? When you open BRIAN, it starts wit the sessions window. You click on "new session" and fill in the fields one by one, starting with the date. In case you don not have an exact date you type in an approximation (which determins the order in which the sessions are displayed in the report, check the "ca." box, and type in a "text date" which will be shown in your report. Type in the rest (not all are necessary) and click "save session".After that you can add tracks. You then switch to the personnel tab and mark the tracks to which you want to add personnel.

Learning to  use a database can be a drag at first ..... I know how you feel.

After I've click on add a new session and fill in the fields, I can't the songs to appear in the session. The two entries that come with the DB show up when I generate a report, but the session I add is blank.

Have you saved the session before you added the tracks? I'd say contact Steve Albin. Since he is in the USA, perhaps you can phone him or do an online chat.

I've sent an email to Steve.

Issued resolved. I deleted what I downloaded and redownloaded the software again. Now it works.
