Well done Cheryl Anne on your first post and I hope you are doing well. You sang your song really well. I love the way you blended the song and the video slide show together. Band in a Box is a great musical programme and there is a very helpful community in the forum so I hope you continue to post more of your songs in the future.
Regards Dermot

Welcome Cheryl Anne!! Pretty song!!! Sounds like you may have miced the BIAB tracks? You can get a program for free I think that will allow you to avoid the room noise. Really nice job on this!! Take care. Greg

Hi Dan,
Thank you for welcoming me into the Band in the Box world of new cool music loving friends. I sure appreciate the kindness and support.
Thank you for your prayers. The day after I posted. i had to go for emergency care for my brain injury that is why I was so to respond, to your post. Sorry about that. But feeling a little stronger today. Each day, better and better right?
Thank you for the prayers. They are appreciated more than you can ever know.
I hope that your having a wonderful week making music. And that God would give you killer ideas for your next project. Have a blessed week. Merry Christmas a little early.

Hi Brian,
Thank you for reaching out. Yes, I totally agree, music/art allow you to be in the real world without all the bad, it keeps you happy and elevated into another zone. When i focus on music/art i am usually smiling inside even if I have great pain. Totally with you on that. I have had 14 major surgery's, so I rely on God to keep me happy, so I can encourage others. So many folks have it way worse/difficult that I do.
Brian, I went to your you tube link, I listed to Eleanor Lennox - Raccoon in a Dumpster. I am guessing you did ALL that work for this persons video? Amazing ! I like the cuteness, upbeat sound, and interesting graphics. So Cool.
Your side of the pond agrees with you.
Have a great week filled with love laughter and of course music/art.

Hello Mr. Derochette,
Yes, this is my first attempt/posting. I am learning as much as my little brain can hold. LOL. David suggested me to do the same thing. So this week I am working on improving and learning how to record into Band in a Box.
Hopefully with the song I am working on this week entitled, Love is the Greatest Gift, I will be able in incorporate what I am learning from you all.
So thank you for writing and I hope that you will have a blessed Christmas.

Hello Brad,
Thank you for writing. I appreciate the welcome and the encouragement. Yes, you could not be more right. Healing takes time, and I am so blessed that the folks at Band in the Box have been so helpful on the phone guiding me along. And with the Band in the Box forum filled with such kind, nice, knowledgeable folks, its encouraging for me.
I am still shocked that I could finish and post this song, after my accident. Last year this time, I did not even know where i was, or recognize friends. So I know that God is healing me, slowly but I am being healed. I am what most folks call highly blessed. I don't take this for granted.
I am glad that you are on the forum and I pray that it will continue to help you connect with friends that love music/art like you do. I see that you are in California, I pray that ice/wind storm is not impacting you terribly and that you and your family are safe. The winds looked very strong filled with snow on our Florida t.v. sets. burrrrrr.
Thank you again for reaching out, have a blessed Christmas.

Hi Bass,
Thank you for writing.
Thank you for sending along your music page. Very nice.
I am guessing you have been composing for some time. I say this because all the songs are so well done.
My favorite so far is Autumn Love. Followed by Safe in the Storm.
Wonderful job. I am still listening to the rest now.
Well keep up the nice work. Merry Christmas

Hello Floyd,
Thank you for writing. I appreciate the encouragement.
Thank you for sending me your music page. What I like about your songs/style is that i can hear your voice. The voice is clear, pronounced and I can understand every word.
The guitar work is so nice and smooth also.
My favorite song, so far, still listen to each song..
I really enjoyed your song Simple Truth.
Thank you for sharing. I hope that you and your family will enjoy a blessed Christmas.

Hi Deej,
Thank you for writing. I appreciate the encouragement.
Its been a long 2 years of healing. As you can imagine up and down. But I am so blessed to have the tools as you say. Band in the Box is a real life changer for me. I can't even believe
1. that I could do it. Meaning using the program itself. Only because of all the nice people on the phone at Band in the Box. With out them, I would not have gotten the song together. Imagine having dyslexia then having a brain injury that could have taken my life.
2. Last year this time, I did not recognize my friends, wondered where I was, and could barely do everyday things that I took for granted. I am learning to play my guitar all over again, I am so glad, it makes me happy and a way to express myself, like others most likely in this forum know, music is a healer in itself. Even the angels sang. So we know where the power comes from.
Your so right, everyone has been so nice and have offered to help.
I have been listening to everyone's music, and i can tell you they are all good. Each have something special and unique. I have a LONG way to go but I pray God would continue to help me absorb what folks are suggesting.
i did print out David's detailed suggested that he sent me. Which will help my voice to be more with the song, rather than separated. I had a set back the last couple of days with brain swelling, but today I was able to apply what David said and I am working on a new song called Love is the Greatest Gift. which will be incorporating his suggestion.
So glad to hear that you also were intimated. After hearing some of the songs on the forum, I was terrified to post. i thought for sure, I would be attacked or made fun of, but the folks at Band in the Box said that folks on the forum are nice. Some of the folks on this forum seem like they are doing this professionally and if they aren't they probably should be.
If you don't mind me asking..
how many years have you been writing/playing music? and
How many years now have you been using Band in the Box?
Do you have a music page with your songs on it? I would like to hear the songs, if your not to shy about this.
Thank you again for taking the time to write and I love all the suggestions and your input. Your letter will be VERY helpful when I have those days... where.. well you know.. can i do this???
I pray that you and your family will have a blessed Christmas.

Great first post. You have a very good voice. I liked the lyrics and you seem to understand the basics of BIAB. As your journey continues I’m sure you will heal and learn and look back at this in a while and be amazed at how far you have come. Good luck, Tom

Music comes from a special place and it certainly can help heal as other have said. Welcome to the forums and the world of BIAB. As you have already seen, many very special people here that are friendly and always ready to lend a hand. Good luck with your healing and you music!
My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

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.
