While that would be nice..... the instruments in Kontakt won't help you write songs.... that comes from within. I know lots of folks with Kontakt and they don't write much at all.

But I do agree that having a new toy can inspire you to step outside the box...so to speak, and come up with some new things..... like a new song or two.

Just a observation.

Amen!

Is 50% enough ?

These were responses to your other post:

Non Kontak third party samples
"I got Kontakt for half price, keep a watch there are usually sales around this time."

Hawaiian style slide guitar
"I had a look at my invoice date and it was around Nov 27 when they had the half price sale."

Kontakt 5 50% OFF Nov 24 – Dec 5

Native Instruments Sales 50% OFF Nov 24 – Dec 5

You're best off to watch for the Black Friday sales like Pipeline was saying. While a partnership would be cool, some Kontakt libraries I've used do not work well with Band-in-a-Box just with the nature of how they are controlled. They would work well with RealBand due to the fact that RealBand is a full MIDI Sequencer as well, though.

I picked up my copy of Kontakt 5 on Black Friday. Great software, I'm currently creating my own retro 80's/90's gaming sample library that will be really neat if you're trying to make music sound like they're from Video Games.

Kontakt is a great sampler.


Thanks,

"I'm currently creating my own retro 80's/90's gaming sample library..."

That was my first job in the late 70's repairing pinball machines, jukeboxes, early video games then to just later video game machines then that got me into computers, audio gear repair then that got me into recording for musos and websites then Biab/Realband.

You can get all those old game ROMs now and run on MAME (Multi Arcade Machine Emulator), I remember they used to be big logic boards some multi layered that cost $$$ with the same 28 pin JAMMA connector you could change from machine to machine.

Actually I just converted someone's old cathode ray tube arcade machine over to an LCD 600 game MAME.
The last time I was building these machines they had 3 buttons now they gotta have 5.

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.

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."
