Sure Peter,

I'd be glad to tell how I did it, in a step by step manner.

If you read my initial post on this thread, I was wondering how I was going to present the song on this 'showcase'. I wanted more than just an audio file and some read along lyrics.

I wanted the Big Lyrics window to scroll the words, at the point they are sung. It would be nice if BIAB had a utility that accomplished what I did here, but maybe in the next release.

Plus I like the idea of people who are not familiar with BIAB, like we all are, to see just how utterly empowering this program is to people who are looking to express themselves musically. Basically in any genre you like.

So instead of saying, "Here is how to make music in Band in a Box", I just put a song out there, playing in BIAB, for all to see, but didn't really say anything about BIAB.

Anyway, ... I did a google search for screen capture 'utilities' and I found a $30 one called TotalScreenRecorder Gold-

http://www.totalscreenrecorder.com

It said it would record whatever was on my screen, video and audio, so

I installed it,

made a few options configuration settings in the utility,

closed all other apps and windows except BIAB, (It's Been An Honor was already loaded and ready to go),

clicked "started recording" on the utility,

alt-tabbed to BIAB, clicked Play,

moved my mouse cursor out of the way

and when the song was over, I alt-tabbed back to the utility

clicked "stop recording" on the utility.

Then I had an avi file (compressed so that it was <2GB, (YouTubes basic file size limitation) which I then uploaded to my YouTube account.

The trickiest part was configuring the audio settings in the utility to record from my ASIO device, which BIAB uses, instead of my Windows default sound card.

Thank you for your interest. I have only just discovered BIAB, and I have a whole bunch of songs (lyrics, with tentative melody and basic unembellished chord progressions) in my queue, waiting to be completed.

Rock on, or whatever your genre is.
