Bonjour à toi utilisateur de Band-in-a-Box ....
Band-in-a-Box est arrivé à un tel degré de maturité et de réalisme qu'il est utilisé par des musiciens dans un contexte "live". Je sais que celà se pratique aux US (entre autres).
Pour info, et en faire profiter la communauté française des utilisateurs de Band-in-a-Box, aurais tu - si c'est le cas - une expérience dans le domaine ?
Je suis conscient que, parler de "live" dans le contexte actuel de confinement n'est pas opportun; c'est simplement pour être mieux informés pour ceux intéressés, le jour où tout repartira.
Bonne journée
Daniel

Bonjour Daniel,
Je vois bien l'intérêt d'une telle utilisation mais je me demande comment c'est possible, en dehors d'un morceau généré à l'avance et utilisable en bande son, mais ce n'est pas terrible comme principe...
Si tu as des infos, je serais très intéressé.
Merci d'avance.
Georges

Bonjour Carolan,
Merci pour ta réponse ....
J'attends en fait de la communauté un retour d'expérience sur ce sujet (s'il y en a).
A bientôt,

Bonjour Daniel
J'utilise Biab pour créer des backings tracks, que je convertis en mp3. Ensuite, je les copie sur mon téléphone, que je relie à l'ampli. C'est plus facile à transporter que de déplacer le pc.
Je joue en duo guitare - voix, dans un contexte piano bar, petit restau, répertoire de standards de jazz et bossa.
Ce n'est pas souple comme utilisation, mais j'aime bien la qualité sonore. Et qd le morceau est structuré, c'est bien plus facile pour le mettre bien en place.
J'ai souvent imaginé a une amélioration qui permettrait de rajouter une, deux grilles en une seule touche. Mais il faudrait un écran tactile, ou bien un déclencheur au pied.
Voilà. Ca te sera peut-être utile...
Musicalement
Hervé

Merci Hervé d'avoir fait part de ton expérience sur le sujet ....
Effectivement, la qualité du son produit par BIAB est telle que les backing tracks qu'il produit sont suffisamment convaincantes pour être utilisées "live".
Dans ton cas, si tu passes par du mp3 tu n'as pas la pleine souplesse de l'outil et donc tu es obligé de suivre la structure du morceau que tu auras fabriqué "à la maison" avant ton concert. Tu ne peux donc pas modifier le nombre de grilles sur place en fonction du contexte, de l'ambiance ....
Mais bon, si le son est bon, c'est déjà beaucoup!
Enjoy!
Daniel

Bonjour,
J'utilise BIAB 2019 (et 2020 depuis peu) de façon inconditionnelle en live avec mon duo. C'est un outil magique. Celui dont j'ai toujours rêvé.
Il faut une bonne bécane pour le faire tourner. J'y mets tous mes playbacks réalisés uniquement avec des realtracks.
N'étant pas un féru d'informatique ni de MAO je pense n'utiliser qu'une infime partie de l'outil. Mais quel bonheur...
Jazz, bossa, funk, pop....... ma guitare et ma chanteuse et soirée assurée.
Et lorsqu'un ami se joint à nous pour prendre une grille, je modifie en quelques secondes le nombre de grilles et la tonalité.
Rien à dire, c'est mon outil indispensable.
Bonne reprise et bons concerts à tous!

Moi j'utilise aussi BIAB pour jouer dans la rue. J'utilise un téléphone androïde pour lire des séquences.
Ce qui est compliqué c'est qu'il n'est pas possible d'ajouter ou de retirer des chorus. L'idéal serait d'avoir un switch au pied pour aller à la dernière grille (ou à la section suivante) quand on le désire.
Un moment je m'était demandé si un logiciel genre DJ ou spécial musicien (un lecteur d’échantillons par exemple (genre ableton like)) pouvait permettre de répéter une boucle puis de passer à la suite sur simple pression d'un bouton.
Je pense que c'est possible mais ça doit être trop compliqué en live. Ce serait bien que PG fasse aussi un lecteur multi plateforme amélioré pour ce genre d'utilisation.
Qu'on puisse avec un petit pédalier passer d'une partie à une autre. Qu'on puisse changer le tempo et la tonalité facilement sur un lecteur.
Tout cela est possible sur un lecteur de boucle mais ce n'est pas optimisé pour ce genre d'utilisation.

Bonjour Hervé,
Merci pour ton témoignage; il profite à toute la communauté ....
Tu confirmes par là que Band in a Box est le compagnon idéal du musicien non seulement "à la maison" pour travailler sa musique (fabrication de Backing Tracks) mais aussi dans un contexte "live".
Juste une question: qu'utilises tu comme sono et carte son ?
Daniel

Bonjour Empress Sissi,
Merci pour ce témoignage très intéressant ...
Je vais voir dans quelle mesure (sans jeu de mots) ce que tu indiques là: pouvoir facilement avec un petit pédalier passer d'une partie à une autre (nbre de chorus, section, ..), changer le tempo et la tonalité ....
Enjoy!
Daniel

Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming.

There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing.
