This is outstanding; how in the world did you get it to sound like a live performance; like the vocal and the guitar licks; thanks for sharing!

Billy,

For someone who's just started out in Band In A Box, you've sure put together a sensational song. This is a terrific listen. As well, the live mood you created was top notch!

I'm looking forward to what you bring along with the next song.

All the best,
Noel

Sorry guy...my cable internet has been down all morning.

Hi Pg and thanks,

The live performance idea was generated by down loading a bar sound effect from the WEB and doing a voice over in the same way I would be talking at a live blues jam.

Noel96, thanks for the kind words. Everything to date with BB has been directed at learning the process and not so much at good playing or vocals but thanks for the comments.

Thanks Floyd for putting up with my sorry vocals...lol

Cheers,

Billy

Vielen, vielen Dank für die Auflistung und hat einen großen Tag in Deutschland!

I lived for a short near Saarbrucken. Sorry my German is very limited.

Best Wishes,

Billy

Thanks Charlie,

It was sort of fun to make.

Learning new stuff every day.

BB in it't most basic form is not very hard to get something out of. Now as I am learning more, the questions I have are requiring me to study and dig pretty deep.


Cheers,

Billy

Hi Tom,

Thanks, perhaps we can get together and play some blues together if you like.

What part of Florida do you live in?

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
