Enjoy! - THE JOY OF BACH (now also on Soundcloud if you prefer, HERE)


Formalities, per usual (some of which hopefully just might surprise):

Title: The Joy of Bach's Music

Style is SYM34_1.STY
BassCustom Synth is Hi-Q 034 01 Bass, Electric, 61 Classic Sforzando.tgs

Icelander...thanks for continuing your exploration of JSB..I want to study your notation--you're using BIAB to a depth that i don't normally plumb, so I may just copy your exercise myself in order to learn more about the software. It is beautifully done, and it shows that masterful compositions can shine when handled with caring treatments, as you have done. Thanks again!

No need, you (most likely) already have the original template I worked from right there in your own BBox folder! cool
If your goal is to utilise BBox to study music, then you can't go wrong with checking out the folder "Songs and Lessons" which came with the program - that place is full of an absolute motherload of material to study to your heart's content. I strongly recommend you give that place a visit, and keep an eye out for a collection of "Midi Fakebook" folders in there, that's where all the classical stuff resides.
Thanks for a very complimenting feedback, much obliged smile

This is way above my paygrade regarding understanding both song structure and classical pieces in general.

However, I know enough about BiaB to realize that in talented hands there are almost endless numbers of avenues to explore with this software.

I'm going to send the link to a friend who is an accomplished classical musician -- just to show him what can be done beyond the blues and Americana that he hears from us smile

Enjoyed it!

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."
