So, on this one I decided to "pull out all of the stops" using Real Band and Real Tracks as production tools. This combines an orchestra with an Africa and Latin backbeat and it could not have been done without Real Band unless I had hired George Martin.

https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs/juju


Secret:

After entering in chord progression and playing the acoustic, and using live ethnic drums, djembe, maracas, etc., I added real tracks for Bolero Bass RT 1901, RT 1045 (Jazz B-3) and RT 2535, (held guitar.) The audio chord wizard detected the chords (with some tweaks) and when I generated real tracks I also selected "generate midi" to use the midi tracks to create string and orchestral patches in Garritan.

It would have been impossible to do this song in any other set of programs I know of, or at least with as much efficiency and accuracy, and sonic quality.

Hope you enjoy.

Hi David,

That's quite a musical adventure you've been on! I can only imagine how much knowledge you must have gained from all your experimenting. My experience is that BIAB/RB offer a great deal of depth and there seem to be surprises regularly in store when it comes to the programs' capabilities.

Thank you for detailing your journey so thoroughly. You've given me valuable food for thought.

All the best with your song,
Noel

My mind was rampant with all the images conjured up by your use of "juju". The Miriam/Webster definition of 'Magic luck' didn't occur to me.

A fun song with an interesting musical bed and certainly not the traditional use of styles that we normally see here on the forum. It took imagination and tenacity to stay in the stylepicker long enough to form a combination of such diversity to actually work well nicely together.

Yes, thanks all. Experimenting is a true statement. The more I tinker with these tools the more I see the possibilities are simply limitless. And I am just at the tippy tip tip of the iceberg.

Thanks for the feedback!

Very interesting and cool!! I think of Harry Nielsen "Lime in the coconut" or something him and Lennon might have come up with on a party weekend. Enjoyed it! Take care. Greg

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.
