This is definitely one of the best you've produced. Superb lyrics throughout.

Yes, this one certainly sets the mood for Christmas.

I agree with all that has been said thus far so all that I can add is "we have a new Christmas classic".

Great job on this.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

First off, sorry for the technical glitch in this song. RealBand stuck some midi in at measure 1167 so the output song ran 42 minutes. I was wondering why it took so long to merge to a .wav file. I'll fix it in a few days. sorry for any inconvenience.

Greg,
Thanks. I'm glad you like the opening bells. I was trying to simulate church bells heard at a distance as the person is walking along. It's a very comforting sound in real life.

Rob and Anne-Marie,
Thanks for listening. I'm glad it helped set the mood for the holidays. Merry Christmas/

Trev,
Thanks. My wife really improved my original set of lyrics. She deserves the credit.

Sonny,
I think I'm getting the hang of production and mixing. Still a lot to learn. Thanks.

Mario,
I'm so glad you liked it. "New Christmas classic" not quite, but thanks for your vote of confidence.

Al and Di,
Thanks. I think we all needed some Christmas cheer this year. Happy holidays.

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."
