Cool! This is such a good article, Joanne. It's very user-friendly for those who want some ideas on melodies and chords.
BIAB is such amazing software and your article taps into some of its more 'hidden' songwriting resources.
All the best,
Noel

As Noel said - this is awesome! Extremely articulate and user friendly. I'm about half way through and about to read the rest  This would be an ideal article for somebody new to the program. Great job on this! Kudos!
Cheers,
Deryk

Joanne,
I really enjoy reading your articles about the different ways you use Band-in-a-Box every month. I've learned a lot about Band-in-a-Box from you. Thanks.

Clear and easy to follow tips, Joanne.
I`ve yet to try typing in songs that might fit the style of a lyric idea and really like the regeneration method of coming up with chords for a bridge.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Robert

Joanne,
Nice done! Everything is laid out in an easy-to-understand format. Will play around with your suggestions as soon as I get a little time and see what kind of magic I can come up with!
Thanks, to you & Mario, for this great info. Nice blog, too! I'm in the process of creating one for my writing (I write novels in addition to music!).
Again, many thanks!
Alan

Very well done, Joanne.
It made me think of BB as a backup group, you know?
When kept simple, it's kind of like having a talented backup humming along. How important that can be in
assisting the creative process!
I try to guard against having the backup rule. One of the most interesting musical truths BB affecionados discover is that the same progression and beat pattern can suggest limitless songs.
A Tammy Wynette song, "I Don't Wanna Play House" (could only be a Billy Sherrell song) has haunted me all day. The way Ms. Wynette delivers the lines....
Take, "I've watched Mommy -- and Daddy --- and----if that's the way it's done -- (hook -- I don't ..etc.
The song has power because she was able to project her own sense of expression and timing
independent of the music, at the same time
supremely integrated with it.

It's nice to see a fellow 50/90 songwriter on here. I really enjoyed reading your blog post and learned quite a bit as a new Nand In A Box user. I have an older version of BIAB so I'm not sure if all of the tips will work but I'll have to experiment and give it a try.

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.

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.
