I have to say I did enjoy that. You managed to capture the quintessential essence of the Beatles melody technique, without specifically copying their work.

A rather unique delivery.

Nice job. I can hear Beatle influence, Beatle style instrument choices and Beatle style melody lines in your piece and all the while maintaining originality.

Enjoyed this.

A brilliant piece of tribute right there, the Beatles vibe is absolutely unmistakeable without blatantly plagiarising.

You've made a 'follower' out of me cool

My first reaction to your post was: How can someone create instrumental music that sounds "Beatlish"? Well, you've done it!! Very nice, pleasant, melodic music with a definite Beatle vibe. I love the Beatles so I really enjoyed this! Nice job!! Take care. Greg

Awesome tribute, Christian! Can hear The Beatles influence coming through strong on this one, most definitely! Only thing it's missing is some singing from John or Paul smile Thanks for sharing!

Salut Christian,

Sounds like it came straight from the "Magical Mystery Tour".

One of you very best to date.

Wow - you nailed this! You can pick up on the Beatles influence within 10 seconds. It's got a wonderful groove, and the arrangement is on point too.

Great work, and thanks so much for sharing smile

I agree 100%.

Super job on this one.

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."
