Officially, we are now residents on the farm.

Got the final inspection passed a few weeks ago..... cleaned up a bit and started moving in. I also have stuff piled up in my new studio. Got the biz computer up and running, and started putting the DAW back together as well. Fired it up for a test play yesterday. Sounds good in here so far. Got internet and off the air TV as well as some streaming stuff on Neo so far. I find that I don't really miss the TV..... got my phones ported over to magic jacks.... my wife's phone bill went from $55/mo to $3/mo....and my biz number went from $150/mo to $3/mo as well.

Got to run ARC on the room when I get the chance. Problem is, there's still so much to do.

I'm thinking I might be getting into the clear by September. Still have so much "stuff" at the old house. Stuff in the kitchen cabinets, stuff in my old studio office, stuff in out bathroom and bedroom closet, and OMG..... so much stuff in the attics. We have 2 attics and there's also 3 sheds in the backyard that need going through. Downsizing from 2400 sq ft to just over 1900 sq ft will force you to decide what you really need and what you don't. We do have a nice sized storage attic for the stuff we absolutely need to keep but don't use often as well as company and personal records.

We have to clear out the old house to paint and fix up before we can put it on the market. We want to get it sold quickly.

Once we get settled in a bit, I'll be doing some pictures and posting them here.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Ha....oh yeah.

Back in '95 we moved from a 3b/2b spacious home in the mountains (Pine Mtn Lake Ca. - I was a carpenter) into a duplex.
Whew....we got rid of so much 'stuff' and we don't miss any of it.

Great....look forward to some pics of the abode/studio progress and lay of the land.

Carry on....

I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.

1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.

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."
