Happy December friends! Wow - It was 5 years ago last week that I got BIAB and started a serious woodshedding journey that is rekindled/reset/re-established with new goals this time of year.
Super grateful for everyone at PG Music for the amazing support. Ultra grateful for ya'll here on the forum for always being so cool to me when I visit or post even though I don't have the time to contribute regularly!
PG music and BIAB get alot of love in my day to day. I have many professional musician friends who are now users and supporters who have come to it simply by asking me what I was doing. I know of at least one buddy who has also become an endorsed PG artist, my friend Buzz who tours and plays with Lee Rocker of the Stray Cats. He is LOVING this as much as me.
Wanted to share recent vid that was just posted by Vintage Guitar Magazine - Here is a vid I recently did for Grez Guitars and VG Magazine using BIAB- " The California Gypsy "
This track is a great example of starting with one demo groove from a BIAB genre (Smooth Jazz I think) and slowly morphing it into a unique style, adding chords/chorus, changing all instruments, feel, cutting, pasting etc. writing a theme around it.
And just for fun! Here is a video I posted a couple days back for a high-end Japanese company I am endorsed with called Free The Tone. You will hear Slap Bass' some New Age Piano a little pedal steel from BIAB!
Sending infinite good wishes to you all! Happy Holidays and good cheers to you.
(BTW, while the YT videos are a little slow, if you ever head over to Facebook, the vids have been watched 50,000 + times with 100's and 100's of shares just over the weekend. BIAB always helps me pull it all togather.
Cheers Charlie, thank you for the listen and the nice words. Speaking of vintage guitars, hope that Gibby double neck is treating you well! Saw one like it listed for $250K yesterday - Keep it locked and safe>

Greg! Much thanks for the nice comments! It means alot to me! Stay well and get some practicing in this week!
I sure as he!! echo all comments above. I've seen a couple other of your vids....always make it look easy.
Some time ago I commented on your YT page (I think) that I may relegate all three axes to be best utilized as kindling after witnessing your axe prowess. Thanks for reminding me.
Musicianship respect....best to you on the Holidays with family and friends.

Ha ha... thank you Wayne! I genuinely appreciate the good words! I know EXACTLY how you feel about burning your guitars! Makes me want to work extra hard! Cheers and Happy holidays to you as well! RG
This is the real deal. Mesmerizing playing and we loved the "finger vibrato."
Congrats on all your success and may more come in the new year!

Hey Ya'll , I can't edit my post but it was FOUR (4) years ago that I started on BIAB not 5. 2013 update - I did want to document that for myself! Just an awesome tool here and I feel particularly blessed with it.
User Video: Next-Level AI Music Editing with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box®
The Bob Doyle Media YouTube channel is known for demonstrating how you can creatively incorporate AI into your projects - from your song projects to avatar building to face swapping, and more!
His latest video, Next-Level AI Music Editing with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box, he explains in detail how you can use the Melodist feature in Band-in-a-Box with ACE Studio. Follow along as he goes from "nothing" to "something" with his Band-in-a-Box MIDI Melodist track, using ACE Studio to turn it into a vocal track (or tracks, you'll see) by adding lyrics for those notes that will trigger some amazing AI vocals!
Wir waren fleißig und haben über 50 neue Funktionen und eine erstaunliche Sammlung neuer Inhalte hinzugefügt, darunter 222 RealTracks, neue RealStyles, MIDI SuperTracks, Instrumental Studies, "Songs with Vocals" Artist Performance Sets, abspielbare RealTracks Set 3, abspielbare RealDrums Set 2, zwei neue Sets von "RealDrums Stems", XPro Styles PAK 6, Xtra Styles PAK 17 und mehr!
Add updated printing options, enhanced tracks settings, smoother use of MGU and SGU (BB files) within PowerTracks, and more with the latest PowerTracks Pro Audio 2024 update!
Download and install this to your RealBand 2024 for updated print options, streamlined loading and saving of .SGU & MGU (BB) files, and to add a number of program adjustments that address user-reported bugs and concerns.
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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
