Guys and Gals, I am in the market for a new DAW, my very old version of Adobe Audition (V3, almost 10 years old), is just not compatible with some of the more modern plugins I want to use, and that problem is just going to get worse.

So, I've downloaded a few demos, including Studio one, which I have heard many good things about.

Here is my question:

I have started working on a song, opened up three tracks for BIAB drums, bass, and keyboards.

So far so good, now I want to start working on my guitar parts. I have recorded a guitar track no problem, but how do I punch in?? I can't see anyway of just punching in a new section??

Never mind, I found as video that talked about how to do it. Interestingly the start of the video had a commercial for BIAB smile

FYI - Studio One Prime and Artist do not support third-party plugins. There is an add-on for Artist for @ $80 that ads that functionality.

Yes, I am aware of that. I downloaded the professional version so that I can use my waves plugins.

Quite a learning curve compared to audition, I've been playing with it all day. I think my head is about to explode! :p

For some, quite a simpler DAW is Tracktion. Version 4 is entirely free. If your brain doesn't need a fake mixer on the screen to mix, it can be a much more efficient workflow as there are not multiple windows to be clicking/swapping all of the time.

For $50, you can get Cakewalk's Music Creator 7 which does support plugins and has everything from the big DAW's you need and none of the stuff you don't.

I used this software's early versions.... MC4 mainly, for years.

I recommend it HIGHLY. And now,,,,, PG MUSIC is selling it. What does that tell you about it....? It's great stuff and very affordable.

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."
