Ok, here is something totally different showing the electronica side of BIAB. We made use of both the midi and real track possibilities here. https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs/shaky-groundI wrote this with my electronica songwriting buddy Jon Healey who has a day job as a columnist for the LA Times. It is from an album we are putting out in the spring called Heaven Knows. The verse chorus structure is chaotic on purpose. I work in BIAB and Jon works in FL Studio, and we mash them together. I added the guitars on this one. Here is the BIAB bed. Have fun and expect weird.  Song: Shaky Ground Style is ROKTRON1.STY (RockTronica 1 - bright dance gro) Style MIDI Instruments are : Syn Bass 1 (39), Muted Electric Guit (29), Distorted Rock Guit (31), Pad-Poly Synth (91), MIDI Drums :25 Electronic Drums (25) RealDrums will be substituted :RockEven8: a: Snare, HiHat b: Snare busy, HiHat

David, this one has it all! The musical bed for this song is great - really cool use of the RockTronica style - awesome vocal as well! Tremendous effort - love everything about it. Consider yourself resurrected... Bob

Assuredly different. Our first reaction was wow that must
have taken a LOT of work. We have to admit that our knowledge
of electronica could be written on a postage stamp...but that
doesn't prevent recognizing a creative and well done
arrangement/production. The name of our CD is "All Over The Map"
and man would that also apply to you and your productions.
Very cool!

Immediately I was thinking: "are really you"?
In effect very different from usual but nice song. Your voice goes very well
with the background
I enjoyed the listening.

Very different, very cool David!! I see this as a film score song for some really intense scene. Very frenetic and textural. Enjoyed it. Very creative and original!! Take care. Greg

That is quite a high energy production. It should really rock and rumble on a big PA.
I thought it was a really good match for your vocals.
Enjoyed my listen.

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."
