Here is my latest song with Band in a Box: Same Old RoadI used the Audio track in BIAB to record my singing then changed the Wav file to read "Same Old Road soloist". This Placed the Audio as a Performance track onto the Soloist Track. I was then able to re-record the Audio track without having to overdub the Audio. ****** Song Summary ************* Key=C , Tempo 120, Length (m:s)=3:08 Style is _CTRRKJN.STY (MedCountryRock with Piano[120RS]) RealTracks in style: 1293:Bass, Electric, TexMexCountry Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 2023:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm CountryRockJohn Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 847:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountryRockRiff Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 844:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountryRockPopping Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 1515:Guitar, Electric, Soloist CountryBrent Ev 120 RealDrums in style: RockTexas^1-a:HiHat, b:OpenHat All comments welcome George Lyrics Here again down this old road Longing for you all the time Seems like I have been here before Your promises dashed on the shore How I long for your tender touch To feel your body close to mine To feel again the warmth of your lips I think that would be divine Yeah baby I'm walking down the same old road Just thinking of you once again Instrumental How I long for your tender touch To feel your body close to mine To feel again the warmth of your lips I think that it would be divine How we danced on that balmy night Well we danced till the morning light We held each other so very tight Baby yeah it felt alright

Fine work here! Very smooth flow, So if I understand correctly all of this was recorded, without leaving biab?
Thanks for sharing!

Hi PgFantastic, Thanks for your comments. Yes it was all recorded in BIAB using the Soloist spare track as the main vocal (by changing the Audio Tracks name to Same Old Road Soloist). Then recording the backing in the Audio Track and adding Harmonies One up. This saved me from any mistakes (although not all  ) as I could just re-record again keeping the good recording - does that make sense? - what I mean is that if the Audio on the Soloist track is good then I can leave that one alone and record the backing again. Phew... George

Hey George,
Very impressive doing this all in BIAB.
I like the groove and the Roy O. vibe too.

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."
