Hello Whomever,

This post comes under the heading of "Customer Suggestions." I'm a singer/songwriter who arranges and performs in what I will call the "Unplugged Acoustic Style." It would be terrific if the folks at PG Music would create some new soloists sets which feature acoustic guitars instead of electric guitars.

This way those of us who prefer the sound of acoustic guitars, over that of electric guitars, would be able to create our intros, fills and outros using acoustic guitars instead of other instruments. I suppose what I have in mind would be similar to the kind of acoustic guitar leads played by the guitarists who accompanied artists such as, Gordon Lightfoot or Jim Croce back in the 1970's Pop-Folk era.

There are no such options offered in Band in a Box at this time and it would be great if they were. I hope that there are others who will second my suggestion so that we can avail ourselves of such soloists sets in the very near future.

Thanks, e1950

I would like some Acoustic Guitar leads too, but more of a Tommy Emmanuel or Doyle Dykes type. With tab or lead sheet.

Yes....would be a great asset...seems there is little going on in pro-active track production this year....maybe the demand is the issue...after all...why invest in something that has insufficient demand? My experience is that not enough people know about this program and how good it really is.

To add to my previous comment...I would guess that the legal climate and hostility from the music "industry" might play a part. Imagine how THEY might view this software. Just taking a shot here.

I'd also love to see some lead acoustic guitar. Nothing terribly fast or tricky, just tasteful pentatonic soloing, slides, hammer ons, suspensions, scales and runs over the chordal notes - that sort of thing.

It would also be nice to have some spanish style nylon guitar riffs - minor and dorian scales. I could think of lots of places where it would fit in quite nicely.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

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!

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.

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."
