bonjour tout le monde, et bien sûr, tous mes vœux pour 2023! :-))
c'est une petite série d'inquiétudes à propos de Band-in-a-Box qui m'amène ici. Raison pour quoi je vous demande d'excuser par avance la longueur de ce message, tout en vous remerciant de votre patience!
Je connaissais bien Band-in-a-Box. Très bien, même. J'ai longuement utilisé cet extraordinaire logiciel, par le passé, jusqu'en 2008, où je suis passé sur Mac, me procurant la version qui venait de sortir à l'époque, une expérience très moyenne...
Maintenant, revenu sur PC (ouf!), je me prépare à acquérir la version actuelle de Band-in-a-Box, ce qui m'amène à quelques questions importantes:
A) Autrefois, quand j'achetais un logiciel (y compris Biab), il était sur CD, et je l'installais moi-même. Il semble que, de nos jours, on achète ce genre de choses obligatoirement "en ligne"...pourquoi pas? Seulement voilà, j'ai un projet:
Faire monter, très prochainement, une deuxième config, très puissante, que je réserverai exclusivement à la musique (qui est mon métier) et à tous les programmes dont j'ai besoin. J'y installerai donc Band-in-a-Box, après quoi je le supprimerai de mon ordi actuel, où il ne sera qu'en transit, en somme. Mais en attendant, il me faut bel et bien Band-in-a-Box sur ma bécane présente, même si celle-ci ne suffit pas...
D'où cette première question: Qu'achète-t-on, dans le cas de Biab? Achète-t-on l'installeur, ou bien se le fait-on forcément "installer en ligne", ce qui m'arrange beaucoup moins...?
En effet, je ne tiens pas à devoir l'acheter une deuxième fois et tout recommencer quand j'aurai ma nouvelle config'...
B) Mon PC actuel est en 64 bits et ma prochaine config' le sera aussi, forcément. Je ne pense pas que ça pose de problèmes, mais à tout hasard, je vous pose la question, probablement inutile : Existe-t-il une version de Biab pouvant tourner en 64 bits?
C) Sur les versions que j'ai connues jusqu'en 2004, je pouvais fabriquer mon propre style d'accompagnement, en cliquant sur une icône bi-colore intitulée "STY", et de là fabriquer mon propre style en empruntant, par exemple, la "bass" d'un des styles pré-existants, les "drums" d'un autre, le "piano" d'un autre, etc, etc...
Question: cette fonctionnalité existe-t-elle encore?
D) Sur les versions d'avant, je pouvais écrire une partition, en cliquant sur une icône montrant 2 croches noires sur fond vert, écriture simple et efficace, le click droit permettant les ajustements essentiels à faire sonner les choses acceptablement.
Question: est-ce encore possible? E) Dernière inquiétude: dans un menu (je ne sais plus lequel, mais je le retrouverai, j'en suis certain), se trouvait une fonctionnalité nommée "Master tuning", par laquelle je pouvais, en quelque sorte, accorder Band-in-a-Box comme on le fait de n'importe quel instrument de musique, en faisant sonner un "La" de concert, puis en le montant ou en le descendant comme je voulais. Pratique, très pratique.
Question: Le peut-on toujours sur la version actuelle? Je suppose que ceci est en relation avec la qualité de la carte-son, mais bon...
Dernier mot: Les "Real Tracks", et ce genre de choses, ne constituent pas dans l'instant une priorité pour moi. Je m'y intéresserai certainement plus tard, celà dit.
Et voilà!
Il me reste à vous renouveler mes remerciements pour votre patience, et vous souhaiter de nouveau le tout meilleur pour 2023!
cordialement
Alceste-le-Loup
