Hi, Until now, i have just used BIAB to make instrumental music, but i have just released my first actual song with vocals with a musical arrangement made completely with BIAB. It is called Pressure To Be Thin and you can hear it on Youtube at this link: Pressure To Be Thin on Youtube The musical arrangement was made completely in BIAB 2012 using only Realtracks, no midis were harmed in the making of this song . Reverb and EQ were added in the BIAB mixer. The only processing of the music not made with BIAB was adjusting the volume levels of the instrumental with Adobe Audition to work well with the vocal levels and using Reaper to slide the entire instrumental file to start a little later in time since i was singing too far behind the beat. I did NOT add compression to the musical arrangement, and none to the vocal either, because compression tends to suck the life out of music by flattening the dynamics. I know i don't have a very good singing voice, so i am not soliciting your opinions concerning that area, but in addition to your opinions about the musical arrangement i would be interested in hearing your opinions about the song (melody and lyric) itself. In the subject line of this post i have described the song as being "Top 40 Style" because it has the verse chorus verse chorus bridge chorus structure and the repetition of the hook line in the chorus so many times until you're sick of it that so many top 40 songs have. On my Youtube channel on the description of the video for this song, and also on my blog at my website at My Blogi have written a long explanation about the origin of the pressure to be thin and the other pressures we face in life. It is probably something you have not seen explained in that manner before. Even if you don't like the song, please read that explanation, i think you will get something out of it since it contains ideas that you can apply to many aspects of life. I actually wrote the original version of this song around 10 years ago but have completely rewritten the music and changed a lot of the words in the past year. Bob

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."
