Dear Peter Gannon, I am so anxious... Would you have a date for the release of the 2013.5 version? Thanks in advance!

abif,
I agree with you, but that is almost like a "Dear Santa" letter.
The PG folks have been awfully silent these last months.
I "Gotta" feelin' it will be soon.
And Pat, along the same line, just took you off my Christmas list! LOL

I am looking forward to buying BIAB soon. I want to buy it now but of course I am waiting for the new .5 so I get more files. But what gave me more patience is thinking that they are packing it now with more hours of Real Tracks. They are in the studio day in and day out to give everyone a lot for their money and to make people very happy that love BIAB. So for that reason I am willing to wait until August for this. Sure then I could wait for the December release by then because it will be only 4 months away. But I don't think I will wait. I have already waited how many years since BIAB came out? I heard it is about 15 years old? I am not sure when they started producing real tracks. I am curious when that started. Let me know how many years in are they with that. Thank you

Good so that means there is almost 6 years of Real Tracks productions in BIAB now ha? They just keep adding them. There would be no reason to take any out unless they felt that something wasn't sounding good and they replaced it? So that is good for me starting now getting so many years of these tracks all at once. I am buying the hard drive version. Of course I want the Wave files with this. I want to produce some nice songs so I of course would want the best quality recordings. How silly not to want those lol.
One project is to produce some Bossa Nova songs. Write some songs similar to Antonio Carlos Jobim. Sinatra sang a lot of them. I sing Sinatra pretty well so I will see what I can create. I am looking forward to it. I would like to add a picture to this forum. Let me know how you do that if you can thanks. I will look for that after I send this.

Your picture works fine.
PG Music has never to my knowledge removed a RealTrack, and it would not make much sense to do so, as you say.
When an occasional glitch is discovered, they are quick to release a patch.
Some RealTracks have also been improved, such as the bass tracks that were given the additional "Simple" option (playing less 'busy'), and also added MIDI notation.
You will certainly enjoy your purchase. I have used BIAB for many dozen Brazilian tunes (in addition to those I write).

yes I saw that about how you mentioned Brazilian. So I guess that is why I was inclined to mentioned my Bossa Nova aspirations lol. I will go check out your songs.

Yes I might use a different image without the shades. When I wear that outfit in SL I have been taking off the shades lately. I just think I look to shut out from the world. I will look more friendly if I take the shades off lol. I might leave the background. Or just go with something else. I might have lightened it up on a website I have though. Yes I am waiting for BIAB. I will be part of this community of producers for sure soon!

I just listened to the YouTube samples. Sound very nice. Very nice productions. Great trumpet your playing. Is any of that BIAB? I do want to write me a big collection of songs in the style of Antonio Carlos Jobim. Try to find a tone similar to Sinatra's when I sing them. I think BIAB has a lot I can work with. I just bought a new guitar so maybe I can add some arpeggio guitar to my productions. Though I am not the best musician. Some of the chords are tough for me to get. You need the perfect hands for placement of some of the chords. I am sure I will add something nice to it. Improve my skills as I play along with my BIAB tracks I create. Even if some songs I ad some lead notes and a few chords it will enhance it. I think my Brazilian Jazz / Bossa Nova material I will produce for my band Frychester. So I have www.Frychester.com. You can see my group. Three virtual world avatars are the stars. A cartoon band/3d virtual online band really. I will see what I can do. Not sure if I will win a grammy but I hope my songs turn out great. They will be great demos at least to pitch to some Bossa Nova bands. I will have fun selling these albums with my record company Artist Virtual Records. WOW Band in a Box has my dreams back on track lol.

All the songs were composed in BIAB. You are listening to studio live recordings done in 2005, before there were RealTracks.

Matt, I will never forget it as I decided to hold up on my purchase until the 1st of the year . . . too busy. I had to carry a new years eve gig 3.5 hours with just me, midi and guitar. I say this because when I heard the realtracks trumpet and bone the "next" day I could have kicked by backside for not installing them before the gig. Sure makes a gig like this less of a chore, not to mention the variety for the audience and performer alike to have a few different instruments play solos. Later,

The songs were composed without Real Tracks? I don't understand. They sound so good. Those aren't the super tracks midi are they? Seems like a real band.

Hi, SlyRuby. Thanks for your interest, and I'll try to clear this up for you. I'm a jazz composer and have used BIAB for over twenty years to compose with. Long before RealTracks, BIAB was superb with MIDI. I then took the songs into the studio where actual studio musicians (friends I work with) recorded the songs. So yes, it's very much an actual band, just like my live concerts. The advantage of using BIAB is that I can send the musicians the songs in advance of doing the recording session
I recognize that some people may think I did the record using BIAB for the backing tracks. That would not have been as likely in 2005. Now, though, you could make a fine recording using BIAB tracks. Peter Gannon gave me permission to mention the album because of the major role BIAB played in its development. I've used BIAB to write for parts of six other CDs since, as well as other concerts regularly. The program is fabulous and is indispensible for my work. Hope that makes sense.

Band in a Box is a fine tool for composition, arranging, etc. such as Matt mentions, with the end target being a performance, recorded or live, by musicians.
There are many users doing this, maybe more users than those using BiaB as the backup band for recordings and live entertainment.
There are many ways to use this fine program.
