I'm typing in the chords for Take it Easy to practice singing along. The iconic guitar intro lick feels so important, so what's the best way to add it?


I have several guitars, an older Lexicon Alpha interface, a poor dynamic mic and that's it. Adding tablature notes might be the simplest solution.

e|-----------------------------|------------|
B|-----------------------------|------------|
G|---7-----7----7--------------|------------|
D|---7b----7b---7b-p5----------|------------|
A|-------------------7p5-------|------------|
E|-----------------------6p5-2-|-3~~~~~-----|

----------------------------------Well I'm a runnin' down the road...

If you don't play and record, then your next option is to insert the intro as midi. I suspect you will find adding acutal notation versus tab will work best. Here is a starting point for you for you to start from scratch. Or you can download a midi file and copy and paste the intro.

if you play it in in midi you'll need to do the g string bend from A to B and with a keyboard that's sometimes a little difficult to end up on the right note if you bend up. my 'bend' wheel is spring loaded so to get a smooth bend i prebend down, key the note - in this case B and release the wheel. if i remember Bernie makes three bends so you might like to slow the midi tempo down for recording. not sure how easy that is in BIAB but dead easy in RB

Bob's technique is a very good one. But it depends on how many semitones your MIDI sound source pitch bend setting: In Bob's example it is set for 2 semitones, i.e. 2 half steps. Most all of the better sound sources allow you to set the pitch bend range while many GM programs do not.

I hope this helps.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

To set your pitch bend range in MIDI, you need to use 3 continuous controllers in succession. I make them one tic apart, but as long as there are no other CCs in between you should be OK.

cc#100=0
CC#101=0
CC#6=total pitch bend range in semitones. I usually enter 2, unless I have a need for more. My old MT32 synth module is set at 12 semitones.

A complete list of the MIDI continuous controllers can be found here:

The more you know about MIDI, and the more you know about how to use it, the more you can customize your music to do things that prerecorded audio cannot do. (Yet?)

Thanx for bringing this up Notes. I had forgotten about that as I was typing my message.

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.
