Hi All.

Lots of people, both on the forum and people I teach, have been asking me for information about how I record the pieces which I post on the User Showcase. To try to provide as much information as possible, to as many people as possible, we've now included a section on Recording Tips as part of our website.

I stress that this not an exhaustive study of the recording process, which would fill a decent sized book, but tips and tricks which answer some of the questions I get asked most often. If you're already an expert, then you possibly know most of it anyway, but I hope some of you find it useful.

We will be adding to the list as we get time and if there are any subjects which you'd like us have a try at, just post something here and we give it a go. So, here's the link.

RECORDING TIPS

Regards, ROG.

Thanks ROG. The site is really good. After reading the recording tips I took the beginner 1-5 lead tutorials. Had a lot of fun.

Hi ROG
Thanks for going to the effort to produce that. Perfectly condensed, no-nonsense descriptions. A valuable lookup reference for sure.

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."
