This song and its video took almost three months to make--I had to build the ukulele first!
You'll see that there is also a fair amount of customization, inlays, and abalone neck position markers.

It's an arrangement of the 1917 (public domain) tune 'Rose Room' that features 8 tracks of ukulele along with acoustic guitars and a bass.

Rose Room

The band is me playing lots of uke and guitar tracks, and a BIAB drummer:

Very cool video and nice job with the ukulele. Very different way to develop a song. Well done

Very rewarding building a musical instrument. I have built several kit guitars. Well done. Great tune as well. Rob4580

Ray,
Nice playing and video! It was fun watching building process in fast pace with accompaniment. Last week my wife started to learn couple of tunes on Uke. I have to show her your video, perhaps it will inspire her to play more smile

Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

First time a video took my attention away from the music. Really interesting. Playing was great, too!

Thanks, Rob.
It was really fun to build an instrument from the ground up. I really learned a lot about instrument maintenance and setup in the process, which was one of the goals.

Thanks, Scott.
I definitely cannot do this level of detail for every song! Building the instrument first is a lot of work. Props to all the luthiers out there.

That's so cool, Ray! Great job on building the uke, playing it (sounds great), and what a cool video.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks. I like putting video to instrumental tracks; it's like scoring a movie.

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."
