Thanks to those who attended the webinar. It was my first one so a little nerve wracking but I managed to demo setting up a backing track from start to finish in 45 minutes.
The feedback I got was very positive. I was live streaming on YouTube and so had a slight technical “challenge” at the start where it was feeding the audio back onto itself. I managed to get that sorted after the first minute or so.
If you would like to view the recording please drop me an email on Joanne at Joannecooper dot co dot za (substitute the “at” and “dots” as appropriate)

Joanne:
Thoroughly enjoyed your Webinar, it was great!
And, as a bonus, one of the people that I passed on your link to,
informed me that he is now interested in BIAB, so you accomplished your purpose.
Thanks for doing that, I know it's stressful and a lot of work,
but you made it look easy and that's what people need.

You are an amazing lady, Jo!
I'd love to see how you normalized all of the tunes for the album. The original levels were all over the map.

Joanne, that was an excellent BiaB tutorial. You do these so well. This should be on the BiaB's front page.
PS - I even learned something. I didn't know about the lyric thing. That was a good tip!

She said she can't remember what she ever saw in me!

Joanne, neat trick with the lyrics !! never knew that. That's a game changer for BIAB (for ME).
First: If only there was a way now to incorporate that into the Lead Sheet Printing.
Second: It could be great if it could be imported into the RB part markers or even just add Bar Lyrics to RB... even if I have to record in the Chord Window although I prefer to use the Tracks Window.
THAT is actually where I would personally like the lyrics to show .. In the tracks window as it would help not have paper rustling noises .. just read the lyrics in the screen!
(One can only dream)
But just for jamming .. This is going to be great!!!
I'm doing allright for Country Trash ....
I used to care, but things have changed (Bob Dylan)

What you do doesn't go unappreciated, Joanne  I watched the first bit and can tell it's extremely informative. Can't imagine how many Band-in-a-Box users you've helped over the years.
Cheers,
Deryk
