tips...048 powertracks..daft fun triks with the MS synth\for added drum sounds. (for ruff quik guide traks for a real drummer for example.) and useing pitch transpose midi music in the edit menu. heres the gig. notice under edit menu is fill trak with drum pattern. for the purpose of this example... clik SELECT PATTERN and choose rock.dp. fill 50 bars or whatever. play it back useing the ms synth. sounds pretty boring does it not ?? lol...well not necessarily. (i was showing a friend this trik recently.) lets say you have rock.dp as track 1. duplicate it to track 2 and mute track 1 for now. we will now experiment with the pattern on track 2. and as we find different beats/sound combos we will use the ptw piano roll to transfer to free traks so they are on their own. let me give you an example. edit>>pitch transpose midi music VERY IMPORTANTLY NOTICE THE BOX MARKED VALUE !! this is very important to the trik. IT CAN HAVE POSITIVE AS WELL AS NEGATIVE VALUES. (tho youll prolly find more interesting experiments with positive values.) as a start enter 1 as value. and play back. NOTICE THE DRUMS HAVE CHANGED. dont like it ?? without changeing value (keep at default 1) keep on cliking edit>>pitch transpose and ok and playback. till you hear something you like. or you can have fun and put any number in. for example lets put a value = 9. notice now the hihat sound ?? lets say we like it , how do we strip it out ?? easy. bring up piano roll . hilite the midi notes FOR JUST THE HAT. then right clik and copy. then in traks view clik on trak 3. then edit>> 1 trak paste. now we have the hi hat extracted onto its own trak 3 !! but lets say you dont want hihat all way thru.. you would like a change in the song. once again dupe the hihat trak..and use same trik as before . midi transpose. for example that hi hat trak. try a value of transpose... value = -20..now we have STICKS !!
triks like the ones above in conjunction with midi editing can be used to build a more interesting guide ruff drum trak. when you find something nice. just split the notes out onto their own trak, of course softsynth plug in could be used also . but the whole idea is to tart up a boring drum pattern. nothing to stop you finding free midi drum patterns on the net, importing them to ptw and applying the above triks on them. for example lets say you find a nice drum roll. but the sound is boring. see what you can do to useing the above methods to create something new. anyway its fun !!

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."
