Had played in a band during my high school years, but left playing music for about 40 years. Then one day went down to Long and Mcquade and got rigged up to give it another go.
Band in the Box was an incredible discovery especially Real Tracks which I use the most.
Put together a couple of original songs. What I like to call "Elevator Music"

Scott,

Welcome aboard!

FWIW your story sounds just like mine with the exception of the number of years away from playing music.

I have copied your link and will get to listen as soon as I make my way through a few more post.

Later,

Not exactly what I would call "elevator music"....

Winter's chill is what I call chill music... just easy listening while watching the sunset.


I would recommend that you use an audio editor to remove the count in clicks on the tunes....

Listening to Sweet Dreams.... nice stuff.

Nice stuff

Welcome to the forum Scott!

Nice relaxing dreamy sound. Enjoyed it. I'd call it "new age". smile

Audacity is free and easy to use for getting rid of those count ins.

Thanks everyone for the positive comments. Thanks for the advice to remove the count in. I can remove them with my RealTracks. I just need to figure out how to change the music file in Soundcloud without breaking the links.

Scott,

I wouldn't worry about it on this one, it's not that big of a deal. Just for future reference. <grin>

doesn't cloud let you replace the file with new updated ones?

Love that clean clear sound. Phrasing not over embellished. I listened to and enjoyed them all (particularly Sweet Baby). Thanks Scott.

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."
