Thanks for posting this, Mike!

I'd REALLY like to try this, but I am not getting any sound from it.

Has anyone tried this? Are you hearing anything?

Could be because I am using IE? If you hear sound, what browser are you using???

Thanks for checking, Dave. I still can't get any sound out of it. Even after a reboot to make sure "things aren't stuck". (Windows 7).

Floyd, could it be a firewall setting at your end or a security setting on your browser? I guess when you press the coloured dot it must be running javascript or something to send that choice back to the server, maybe that is being blocked?

Not that I claim to know anything about this sort of thing mind you smile

What a cool find! Seems like people had some fun with it (and some trouble), but still a really neat thing to share!

This reminds me a bit of Propellerhead's Figure app, though this is much better-suited to wonky rhythms.

This is really very cool. I exported some midis to the DAW and ran them through programs and see how this can be a lot of fun.

At the same time, I have to say in my exploration of Real Drums and loops (which are my favorites) I think there is a vast ocean of possibilities in BIAB/PG percussion which goes relatively unused (insofar as what I hear on the forums anyway) and which has a huge, robust sound to it.

But again, this is fun and I can see it being kind of addictive.

David,

I don't think I've seen PG Percussion. Are the files with just congas or other percussion instruments?

2B,

There are a lot of loops that are really cool, if you go to "generate a loop" in RB or insert/add a loop track in one of the slots in BIAB. Spend some time looking at the loops. There are a lot of really cool ones.

In Drums there are shakers, tambourines and so forth, lots of cool stuff.

I thought that site was cool, but for me it lacks too much control for me to use it on an actual project, though others might like it.

If I am going to to program drums I usually do it in guitar pro, and then I can be really meticulous about the percussive pieces I pick and the rhythm and so forth, and went I export the midi it produces a file that most drums synths reproduce faithfully.

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."
