User Tracks Question #226653 12/07/13 08:50 PM Add-ons and UserTracks for Band-in-a-Box

OP BBB Apprentice B Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 113	If I play Diatonic Chord Scales and 1-6-2-5-3-6-2-5 and 2-5-1 etc etc. and just play a chord on the 1st beat and let it ring out for all 4 counts and make this my first user track, then when I want to apply to this user track to a song will it do the same or will the rhythms be varied? or the chord strummed twice instead of once? Then if I make a second user track playing ONLY Arpeggios to the chords and have this be my second user track..........when I apply this User Track to other songs will it only play Arpeggios to the chords? This means I could make my own Arpeggio Generator to use with students and for my own my practice? Is this realistic? Thanks, BBB

If both of the recordings, held chords, arp. ,were put in the same folder THEN the prog would randomly choose between the two.

The first user tracks you made could be used for chords, and the second for arpeggios. User tracks would be able to do exactly what you describe above. Have Fun! Peter Gannon PG Music Inc.

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.
