Hello, I am on a two-day break from live busking, so I am writing new material. The tune is fresh and new with more work to complete, but the skeleton is there.

floyd, It's a great song that is a perfect blend of country and jazz fusion. And your vocals express this song exquisitely. They capture the listener's hearts. I can really feel the happy atmosphere. Enjoyed my listen a lot. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi Shigeki Adachi - thanks for the nice comments.... Floyd...I do not know how much time you spend choosing and arranging the real tracks you use but man do you know how to use BiaB! this is such a beautiful song and gorgeous arrangement...nothing in it is over done or missing...an intimate and personal lyric that any wife would love to hear...well done and well sung! Thanks, Dan. I actually enjoy walking through a range of instruments (RTs) to find things that work for the song. And it has gotten to the point that the choices in BIAB are extensive....almost always something to create what you are looking for...

I don't have Real Band, but yes, you're correct Biab does have a Punch-in option. Thank's, I'll give it a go Windows versions of BIAB have RealBand included. Certainly you 2022 version does. You may have skipped installing it. You can go to the Install page to download and install if you bypassed it in the initial install. When he posted that I assumed he had the Mac version. So dRoNe13 what version do you have? Mac or Windows? Good morning Mario. His initial post lists "Windows 10\ Biab 2022, build 927" Good morning Charlie, You are right. I totally missed that. Sometimes I am blind as a bat. Sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused. Thanx for setting me straight!

mcity. i dont care which ...biab tracks view ...or...rb tracks view..lol i just want to use ONE APP to create a song in. ie ONE WORK VIEW ...like lots of people im tired of flitting between several apps. oops a little robin in my garden just told me he is tired of flitting around town so he chose us...lol unfortunately much as i enjoyed big R for years i only use it now for editing. your right though if rb had been more aggressively developed years back it would now enjoy the huge world fan base that big R has built. i only need big R v2 for the clip / nd editing. in summary...i'm like that robin flitting around town just wanting to find one place to call home...lol ps what i do often is a trick to cut down loads of wav files.... i do most things in bb then mix beds to stereo. then import the stereo bed mix into rb...then add my vocs and other doodads...and finish off the song in rb. its not ideal but it works for me re reducing tons of wav files. the bluegrass song in my sig used this method etc. om 🇨🇦 🇬🇧

Elliott, Great title, hook and concept! Nice! If we were sitting around a table jawing, I could probably make some suggestions, or run a few things up the flagpole, so feel free to p.m. me. But this could be commercial, man.

You've asked this in the Beginners Forum and have been a registered user for about six months, so I agree Bob has given the preferred answer for your problem. Bob's not sure about recording in BIAB, but I am. You can record in BIAB. You can 'punch in' in BIAB. You can overdub in BIAB. However, there are obstacles to recording audio in BIAB that as a beginner or previous DAW user you'll face: * You can't 'see' the audio. There's no WAV form until the recording stops. There are VU meters showing recording and the recording levels. * Punch in or overdub, the song begins at the start and plays through the punch in or overdub section with no visual indication the program is recording. * Overdubs are 'mixed' automatically by BIAB. * Some users find it difficult to set up BIAB for audio or midi recording. << The problem I have is that when recording from a bar anywhere other than the beginning, there is no metronome present. The recording starts straight away with no count-in, which makes things rather difficult. Is there a way to have the metronome play before any bar? >> There are multiple ways to have the metronome play before any bar in BIAB. If your song has drums on the Drums Track, that should keep you in time. My preference is to Solo the instrument being punched in, and also solo the drums or metronome. It's easy to make a click track for your song. Save your current project. Be sure any edited tracks are frozen. Open a New project From the StylePicker, search and select one of the Utility Style Metronome Styles. Set the tempo of the metronome to match your project song tempo Render the Metronome Click Track and save as an audio file to your desktop Close the Metronome project Open your current project Import the click track you saved onto an empty Mixer Track using the default load options including the Chorus, Bar, Beat, Ticks box 1,-1,1,1 To test if the click is synced, I solo the bass and click and then add the drums a few bars in. (Right clicking the Solo Button in the Mixer to have multiple tracks solo'd) That said, the above advice is best only for beginners and DAW enthusiasts. Understand this advice is an absolute obstacle to learning and using almost all of BIAB's advance features in creating complex, advanced audio and midi tracks that can match any arrangement one can create manually in a DAW using basic BIAB generated Tracks. Audition the Songs with Vocals demos and note they are all finalized as BIAB songs, Never as a RealBand SEQ file, not Pro-tools, Studio One, Reaper, Sonar, Ableton, Logic Pro, GarageBand, Cakewalk or any DAW. When BIAB files are exported as audio, 100% of BIAB features are lost. RealBand and the DAW Plug-in have limited BIAB features but most of the advanced features don't carry over. Every other DAW contains ZERO BIAB features.

In the Punch-In Record box, there are 4 boxes. Am I right in thinking these boxes are for Chorus, Bar, and Beat, ??, but what is the fourth box for, any ideas?

What a creative mind you have! There is never a dull moment in this piece. The changes are smooth and logical and keep it moving forward. Love the driving bass line. One of the best instrumentals I've heard. Hey Storm, really appreciate the kind words. I think Mr. Spock would say "logical" is probably the kindest and I admire Spock As a "pup" I'm just trying to run with the "big dogs" here, and often failing. Anyway, glad you liked it.

Yep, this guy does do a brilliant job of revealing an otherwise hidden human trait. Someone here shared this video last year (maybe you) and everytime I watch it I break out laughing. Maybe because humor needs an element of truth and with all the divisions we humans find ourselves in it's refreshing to see that we are all the same at fundamental levels . . . music being one. I was in a Walmart the other day and Girls Just want to have Fun by Cyni Lauper was playing on Walmart Radio, and so I joined the band by whistling to the melody. A woman looked at me and said "Wow, you're good at that!" I said, "Well I happen to be an amatuer musician and I like music, but everybody has music in them." She said "Not me, but I like to dance." So I said, OK, care to demonstrate." She just looked at me and said "I don't think so"

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."
