My first entry for the 1 Minute Contest is available for download from DropBox here as a 13.56 MB zip archived folder. This is an even feel, 4/4, 80 beats per minute UserTrack that does not follow the pop or jazz 1 minute templates. The recorded chords are: B flat, A7, C7, D minor, F, E7, G7, A minor, C, D7 and G. This instrument is commonly known as an Autoharp but in years past they were known as ChromAharp and ChordAharp. I hope you enjoy using this UserTrack.

Charlie,
Thanks but I'm getting a DropBox error message stating "Nothing Here, the file you are looking for has either been deleted or moved".
I hope you the file returns as I'd really like to hear an example of the UserTrack in use.

Can you make an mp3 and link me, please?

dga, As you know RealTracks are audio files developed by PG Music. The audio files are essentially fragments consolidated together into one audio file. BiaB and RB "knows" what each fragment contains so the programs can extract a fragment and use it intelligently in a song. PG Music introduced UserTracks in 2014. UserTracks expands on the idea of RealTracks. UserTracks are audio tracks and sgu files developed by users. An audio track is recorded. The user then creates a sgu file that provides a bar by bar explanation of what is recorded in the audio file. The audio track file and sgu file must share the same name. The UserTrack gets it's name from the name of the folder that contains the matched set of files. For example, you can have an audio track called "A.wav" and sgu file called "A.sgu" and place them in a folder called "C" and the UserTrack can be imported into BiaB or RB and will have the name "C". Later on the user might want to add additional audio so they would record audio file "B.wav" and create sgu file "B.sgu" to give a bar by bar description of the new audio. The "B" pair of files can be added to the "C" folder then both "A" and "B" audio are part of the "C" Usertrack. BiaB and RB will only look for UserTracks inside the UserTrack sub folder. The sub folder must reside inside the bb\rb\RealTracks\UserTracks sub folder. UserTracks have some limitations. The most well known is 3/4 time doesn't work but there are more. The great news is Dr. Gannon has committed to fixing the limitations. You can find out more about UserTracks ++ HERE ++ There is a UserTracks forum ++ HERE ++

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."
