Will pay for RealBand tutoring. I understand the basics but cannot embellish tunes. Specifically, have Realtracks follow a melody line in notation, upload tacks from CDs (my own)how to fill dead space . Also looking for tutorial on all the various effects on mixing and masering. I live in Central California, are there any Realband experts around?

Carolyne,

Real Tracks will not follow any notation, the tracks generate based on the chord(s) input in the chord cells.

A CD track will be a single, stereo wave file. You can not load each instrument on the CD to its own track. You can load the CD song(s) as a wave file though. Each song will be its own stereo wave file/track.

Mixing and Mastering- Ray Thigpen did a tutorial video on mixing/mastering in Power Tracks, which is basically the same as the RB mixer and effects etc . . .

PG Music also has some video tutorials as well. They are listed under the "support" button at the top of this page.

Hi Carolyne,


I do Music Software tutoring (BIAB, Reason, Pro Tools, Sonar, Finale, Sibelius, Mixing & Mastering, etc)

I use Skype and Teamviewer, which allows me to see your screen, move your mouse, etc in real time, while I'm explaining everything.

However, I am currently not using Real Band, so I would not be able to help you much there. May I suggest that you repost under the Real Band Forum?

If I can help you with either Band in a Box, or with Mixing & Mastering, please contact me.
Ed

hi Carolyne. Unfortunately this is one limitation of Realtracks. Realtracks don't work like MIDI does, which is what you still need to do what you have suggested.
Realtracks are better suited to the rhythm section....but if you want to write your own solos and melodies, you still need standard MIDI sounds. It's very important to know the difference and advantages and disadvantages of each

I am a songwriter with M.S. My hands make it difficult to play guitar effectively anymore. I purchased BITB and Realband and am trying to use the record vocal function with little success. I'm also using Behringer's Podcastudio interface for sound. My vocals are recorded but faint and without volume. Do you have any suggestions?

Will, you aer in the wrong forum here. Move you message over to the BIAB or RT forum and you will get more traffic. Also specify if you are using BIAB for recording or RB as the set up is a little different. someone will know the Podcastudio and provide suggestions.

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."
