Walk the Change (for Mandela) with RnAm

This song was written on the passing of our beloved Nelson Mandela in December 2013. I was absolutely delighted when Rob and Anne-Marie chose it for my collaborative album. What I was not prepared for was what they did with the song and the video. I was completely astounded and still get a lump in my throat every time I even think about it.

They have taken the song and produced it with the signature RnAm presentation along with the most heartfelt vocals and video to go with it. When they were finished with the song and video there was absolutely nothing that could be added.

We do hope you enjoy and comments are very much welcome.

Hi Joanne, Anne-Marie and Rob,

I liked the original, but this topped it.

We can add nothing to the accolades that

It assuredly deserves it.

Stunning production.

Hi Josie, Anne-Marie and Rob,

Without exception, this is absolutely spectacular. The video is mesmerisingly awesome, Rob's and Anne-Marie's performances dazzle and the song is 24 carat gold.

I remember this song from the original post. It was great then but the production is outstanding. It should be featured of Mandella Museum.

Hi Everyone,

We wanna thank everyone for the positive feedback on Walk the Change.
We chose this song because we were moved by it from the moment we heard it.
We think Joanne has done a marvellous job with this project.
It's great hearing several forum members giving their personal touch, sound, twist grin to her compositions!

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."
