Hardbopjazz Posted September 19, 2022 Report Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited September 20, 2022 by Hardbopjazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two entries that come with the DB show up when I generate a report, but the session I add is blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
