Here is my new recording for week 9 of my 52 Tracks project for 2016: Sure Do Wonder (Bumblebee Song)

http://52tracksblog.com/2016/03/03/track-9-sure-do-wonder-bumblebee-song/

This will be a rare posting--the only surviving RT is the Bluegrass mandolin. I roughed out an arrangement in BIAB using the Bluegrass 100 style and sent it to my musician friend, John August Lee. He is a brilliant arranger and performer. He replaced the acoustic guitar, bass,and banjo RTs with his performances and added harmony vocals. I think he did a very special job with this song.

In the blog post is a link to the album China Sky, which John and I released in 2012. I used RTs for some of the songs or as placeholders for John. Members of the current Kingston Trio were the most prominent of our musical guests on the album.

Thanks for listening.

I forgot to emphasize how important BIAB works for demos that can help session musicians. BIAB translates what is in my head to those great musicians who understand quickly where I want to go. Thanks, Peter Gannon.

Wonderful in every regard, Fred.

Good write. Excellent arrangement and production. The banjo is super - the panning is cool - I can't tell if it is one track or two (it's that well done)...

Enjoyed the listen.

Fred,
This great! Have you posted any "UserTacks". I'd surely use them.
Good luck on the songwriting challenge. Keep us posted.

Thanks, SD.

No, I have not made any User Tracks. Maybe someday.

Great effort again Fred.
The harmonies worked sensationally well, and I really enjoyed the lyrics.
Very good all 'round.

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.

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."
