Hi all,

I want to try to record a cover of Early Morning Rain, based on the version (at least the basic chords and tempo) performed by Peter Paul & Mary, found here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OCnHNk2Hac

The problem is, while I can sing (some have said, anyway) I am not too musically literate, or handy with BIAB. So what I'm looking for is someone to help me by creating a BIAB file with the chords already input, so that I could then try different RealTracks until I can get the backing track I'd like to sing over.

I could pay a modest (apx. $30 ) fee via paypal for your trouble.

Hi Lingyai

Why don't you just buy the midi file, then import the chords to biab... tempo and chords will be displayed, then you can tweak it i.e. realtracks or whatever.

link to the midi file http://www.soundsoft.de/midifile/en/Peter-Paul-Mary-Early-Morning-Rain.html

Hope this helps

Hi Lingyai
The MIDI file is probably a great solution. Remember that it will probably open on a single MIDI 0 track in BiaB (all channels combined). I think that Real Band will allow these to be separated though into individual channels. For Info.

I ran the YouTube video you included above through the Audio Chord Wizard and this is the chord progression, Key signature and tempo it found.

Since they were playing live, the intro was actually different than the four bar but I just evened that out and did not include the beginning where they played through the audience clapping.

The tempo also varied a bit throughout and I just made the song at the average tempo the ACW found.

Charlie's chord sheet should do it but if not I will do it for you. I like that song and would like to perform it myself.

Thanks very much everyone. Sorry to have broached the crass topic of money, but also didn't want to come across as a freeloader. Charlie, I'll try those chords out, and 90db, I'll try that style (I hope I have it -- my latest installed version is the 2014 Ultra-plus-pak, with 2015 still waiting to be installed.)

I didn't know that BIAB could discern chords from midi files, that's another nice tip.

Josie, you've got a great voice -- I've PM'd you.

Thanks again all! This is one of the friendliest forums I know of!

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!

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."
