...maybe some day, but for now I am still learning, hence the significant educational benefits of BIAB/RB with RTs. So with that lead in, here, and strictly for educational purposes, is my recent "project". Inspired by another member who perfomer this in the recent past.

It's all BIAB (no midi, all RTs) to start to layout the chords and arrangement, then RB to adjust the soloists (where they come in and where they go out), then drag and drop to Reaper for adding my vocals and guitar and the final mix.

Hi Dan,

Very nice! I thoroughly enjoyed the listening experience. By the way, given that copyright laws cover works up until 70 years after the death of the composer (it gets a bit more complicated if the song is written by multiple people), any song written by someone who died on or before 1939 is now potentially in public domain and can be freely used. With this in mind, along with Google as your research companion, you should be able to find some good, public domain songs to work with. There'd be no problem in posting those at all.

Regards,
Noel

Hi Jazzmandan,

I have only two words for this song LOVED IT.

BiaB can be a fantastic tool when doing the old standards can’t it?


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Thanks for the listen Noel, I appreciate the kind works,

btw -"..Since I Fell for You, was composed by Buddy Johnson (January 10, 1915 – February 9, 1977) in 1945. Which keeps copyright over this until 2047. I will be 94 in 2047. If I can play this then, that will be some party.

Dan,

Here's a great site! It's a list of public domain songs. While some of the songs are pretty obscure, there are a couple of surprises in the list, too.

The songs must be originals, no copyrighted or "cover" songs. You must have all of the rights to the songs.



I think this is really nice Dan, but it's not an original work. Far be it from me to be the cops here, but the rules are clearly stated. I would LOVE to post covers myself too. So many wonderful songs to sing and play. I'm a jazz guitarist too and I just recorded some Wes Montgumery tunes. I'd love to post them but...oh well.

I super highly encourage you to write orginal instrumental works. I only suggest instrumental works because they can be much easier to create, minus writing lyrics. Biab is beyond amazing for that and I know you have it in you!

Nice guitar work and sound.

Dan

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."
