Everybody's Business

I posted this to give you a small insight to my "messing around" with BIAB. I recently posted an all acoustic song called "Nobody's Business". I used the exact same chord pattern but put it to a spirited Smooth Jazz arrangement in this song. I didn't change a single chord but used all new backing tracks. This is what I came up with.

If Brent Mason and Norman Brown had a love child, this might be what he would play. Hope you enjoy it a bit. But the thought of them having a love child is, indeed, a bit disturbing!

I love experiments like this! And what a great result! I wish I had this kind of command of BIAB...makes me realize that I’m only scraping the surface of what can be done. Alan, your compositions are always so pleasing, and this is no exception. I particularly liked how you “allowed” your drummer to add quite interesting variations, esp on high-hats, as the song sequence ran through its repetitions. Enjoyed it a lot!

Alan,

The Master strikes again!

A stunning instrumental. You do a great job of allowing a breath here and there at appropriate moments.

A dazzling display of BIAB abilities.

Beautiful mix. Great listen.

Plenty of wow factor involved in this quite unique and classy production Al.

Toe-tappin' good all the way through.

You definitely put a classy act together.

Thanks so much, Tano. I probably know little more than 10% of the capabilities of this fabulous software. I do a lot of experimenting ... sometimes it works out okay; other times not quite so good. I have quite a collection of the not-so-good variety!

Working on things like this is the break I get from taking care of my wife, which is pretty much a 24/7 necessity. But, at least I can do it just a few feet away from her.

I appreciate your wonderful comments. Thanks again. Have a great weekend and be safe ...

Alan

Floyd, once again I am humbled by your comments. Thank you so much. I have quite a few these I've not posted - don't want to hog the forum. Since I already had the chord pattern (it's a bit unusual, even by my definition, particularly the chorus), it only took me 3 - 4 hours to put this one together. Most of that time was spent previewing a lot of possible RTs.

Best to you & yours. Have a great weekend. Be safe ...

Alan

VT ...

Thank you very much. You put a big smile on this old face! And nope ... the wrinkles didn't hurt.

As I told Floyd, the chord pattern for this one is a bit unusual. I've played around with chord progressions for many years. Trying to be unique yet musically coherent is sometimes a bit of a challenge. But I can usually make it work.

Thanks again. Enjoy your weekend. Be safe ...

So cool, Alan. That's surely one of the funnest things about BiaB, right? SO much fun to experiment. And this one is hugely successful. Love that guitar, and the comping piano. Brilliant use of this amazing program.


Enjoy whatever happens!

I`m curious; are you taking the RT`s into a DAW or doing everything right in Biab?

Hello Dave ...

You are very kind with your comments. Thank you so much. I'm delighted you enjoyed your listen. But, i think the only thing I've ever mastered is saying "Yes, Ma'am. Would you like that today or yesterday?" when my wife has something to say.

Hope your weekend was great. Please be safe ...

Hey Marty!

It's always a treat when you stop in for a listen. I sure do appreciate all that kindness! And yes ... 'tis a lot of fun to just sit down and tinker with everything and wait to see what happens. I used to do that for hours upon hours. But since my wife's health has deteriorated to so quickly over the past few years, those times are now few and far between.

You are so correct about BIAB being an amazing piece of software. And for all the avenues it gives us songwriters/composers, it's a very fair price.

Take care, my friend. Be as safe as possible.

Alan

Hi Robert ...

Thank you for the really nice compliments! And no, I do not use a DAW ... unless you want to define Audacity as a DAW. I do all my touching up on the chord input sheet - volume disparities, reverb, panning, most of the EQ adjustments, etc. I then take the SGU to Audacity to convert it to both a high bit-rate MP3 and a WAV file. I sometimes make a few small touchups in Audacity, such as minor compression and occasionally more finite EQ, if needed. From there I export the final take into a desktop folder, along with the SGU, song summary from BIAB, the Audacity Project files and a graphic. That's my entire process - straight from the chord sheet - to Audacity - a desktop folder. Then I'm done!

I have no third party software other than Audacity. No external VSTs, loops, sound effects, etc.

This particular song took me less than 4 hours from the time I opened up BIAB until I posted it on SoundCloud.

I'm very happy it works for you. Thank for letting me know! wishing you the very best. Be safe ...

Alan

Hi Alan,

When reading the title of this song I thought I already listened to it. But I saw no green dot that I did.
Then you explained what caused my confussion. Nobody's business are now everybody's business'!
And I think you are right. This song is very good, containes a very lovely melody and is well performed. Therefore it's everybody's business.

Alan, well done!

Hi Hans ...

yeah, I can see why you thought you previously had listened to it. I'm glad you like this rendering of that chord progression. It's just an example what can be accomplished with varying the RTs and other b/g inclusions. Thanks for the listen and very nice comments. Wishing you the best. Be safe ...

Man, if one is a bit late listening to your compositions all the accolades have been eloquently stated leaving little left to say ... so dittos to all of the above.

I've always felt that the more rich and nuanced chord progressions bring out the best of RT's and the solos in particular. And that is what you are so good at.

And good at it to the extent that we simply listen to your productions in toto with never the slightest urge to parse things out. Just enjoy. And we did.

Bravo, bravo. This track made me smile from start to finish. Everything sits right in its place. I really felt like the guitar was having a conversation with the other instruments and saying "hey, listen to what I've got to say" to the listener - me. Reaching that level is always a thrill to hear.

P.S. +1 to Janice and Bud - not much left to add smile

It does sound like a band having fun.
Just wondered what it would be like if there was another lead instrument (piano or sax) taking turns, starting at about 00:45.

Hi Vic ...

Thanks for your very nice comments. I tried a couple of other lead instruments for the reason you mentioned, but each one seemed to fall short of the robust sound the lead guitar offered. So mI left it as is.

Again, many thanks. Take care and be safe ...

Very snappy little tune.


Hello Cap'n ...

As Janice and Bud have been known say ... "Don't grow up. It's a trap!"

Actually, I probably haven't tapped into more than 10% of BIAB's capabilities ... and that's not an exaggeration. I've learned the basics pretty good, I guess. I just work like heck to make the basics sound as good as I can.

But I sure do appreciate those very kind words. Thanks a bunch!

Best to you. be safe ...

Alan

Hi Ronnie ...

Until about 1990, I played nothing but Country (that's where the money was!) but I always enjoyed other genres, particularly Jazz and what's now called Smooth RnB. After playing Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Ray price, etc., music I'd often go home and play around with many of the other genres.

Glad this gave you a nice flashback! And many thanks for your kindness!

Wishing you the very best and please be safe ...

Alan

Al-David...Hi folks,

Listening to you tune, I can hear Ella or Satchmo singing along in my head.

Such awesome, awesome guitar playing! You can really make that thing sing...

I was once a secret, but it's everybody's business now! YEAH

Hi Bawb ...

I always appreciate it when you stop in for a listen. That guitar is actually a BIAB RT. Once upon a time I could play pretty decently; but I know have a disease called focal dystonia which significantly affects the control of my fingers ..not in a good way!

I'm delighted you enjoyed your listen. Di (my wife) and I are huge fans of Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Etta James, Tony Bennett, Louis Armstrong, Eartha Kitt, etc. We love that style of music, so we very much appreciate your comment referencing a couple of them. Many thanks!

BTW, our favorite contemporary artists of the genre, as it's slightly changed over the years, are Diana Krall and Steve Tyrell. Check them out, if you're interested. i think you might enjoy them.

Wishing you the best ...

Alan

A stunning instrumental. You do a great job of allowing a breath here and there at appropriate moments.

A dazzling display of BIAB abilities.

Beautiful mix. Great listen.

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.

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."
