Hi All,

Just thought we would share some exciting news with the forum - our new album, Twilight Folk has been released. All songs with the exception of two (Harvest Moon and Thunder Road) were recorded with BIAB/RT's. http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/josiebeckandrobertdean2

We appreciate all of the feedback this group has provided and look forward to continuing to make new music and sharing this experience with you all.

Bob & Josie

Hi Bob and Josie,

I've just had a listen to some of the tracks! Wow! These songs have leaped over the high jump since I last heard them on this forum. I can't believe how good they sound. They're a real credit to you both.

Good luck with the sales

Best wishes,
Noel

Josie, Bob - congratulations.
Great to see such an undertaking come to fruition. It was certainly great listening to it evolve here on the Forum.

As a former PR/Promotion person old school, I'd like to know how you get the word out with today's social network.

I'm also curious if you and Josie did any extra mastering beyond your own production work?

Much success to you.

Cheers - Ian

Josie & Bob,

Congratulations on this fine effort! I have really enjoyed following the progress of this project on this forum. I just ordered my copy and it is downloading as I type this. I gave a quick listen to all the previews, and they sound very impressive (as expected).

For those of you on the Forum who may not know Josie and Bob, you simply must get this album. They are true craftsmen in this art of songwriting. And this project is just another testimonial to what we can do with the great tools we have with Band In A Box!

Again, congratulations, and I am looking forward to many enjoyable hours of listening to this!

Steve

Ian,

Thanks for your kind words. We actually had the album mastered by Sage Audio in Nashville. It made the overall sound and levels consistent and brought the audio up to red book standard.

In terms of marketing, we are mainly using my website and will be submitting to some online radio stations.

Thanks again - we really appreciate hearing from you.

Just wanted to chime in here and also say my heartfelt thank you!

Bob and I are blessed to be a part of the best forum of talented supportive people and to use the most creative software on the planet.....but then again I could be a little bit biased.....

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.

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."
