Does anyone know when I can get trapper456 41 minutes ago Forum: Off-Topic Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Does anyone know when I can get the reduced price band in a box? Do they still have it on sale? Because I was going to buy a copy of it, the one that's just below audio file. But, I don't want to pay $500 some odd dollars for it.

Then again, in a world of auto-tune, that's probably a feature and I'm just an old man shaking his fist at the clouds. The "oohs" and "aahs" are really nice. Piano fills sound good, and the mix is excellent. It feels a bit long, but not as long as it actually is, which is good. Nice work, as usual.
David...thanks for your thoughts and comments...I always appreciate your technical insights and especially now that I'm working with the vocaloids...I took your advice and shortened the intro to one time around..it cut 16 seconds off and brought me under 5 minutes (that's rare!)...thanks for taking the time to give me some thoughtful comments...I appreciate it...Dan

Thanks, B.D. I’m a bit surprised that so many like this song, as dark as it is. On the other hand, Leonard Cohen went much darker….

Still, a good one! Hans
Thanks, Hans. The 2010 date is from when I started posting my non-album songs to the “album” Proving Grounds. I wrote this song two years ago.

Not sure I trust that first website.

Re: What utility do you use to read/change MIDI files? Matt Finley 3 hours ago Forum: Off-Topic Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Thanks, Trevor. It's all coming back to me now. I was a beta tester for Encore by Passport Music for decades. I forgot that was also the company for MasterTracks Pro. I might have an EXE file kicking around, now that I know what folder to look in. Not sure I trust that first website. The second website link promised Encore 6, written by Don Williams the original developer, a few years ago. It's not done, but many of us still have hope. In case it is of interest to you or others, Encore was always the most user-friendly of those original notation programs but became unusable in 2013. The company changed hands to GVOX and was only recently revived. I have many hundreds of Encore scores and I hope to be able to read them and export to Music XML when Encore 6 is released. Anything beyond that will be gravy.

This website mentions it as available, but I cannot advise on the reliability of the site: https://master-tracks-pro.software.informer.com/ Passport Music Software, the creators, don't currently list it as available, but there are hints in the forum pages that this might change. https://passportmusic.com/ Bob might know more except he did mention 'abandoned ware'.

Using it as a Live Arranger you would only need a small LCD screen, I made a touch screen jukebox/karaoke using an POS terminal and just ran the program at startup, I think it even had a second display port for the karaoke screen. http://www.freeboxjukebox.com/screenshots.html Here's a 10" touch screen for less than $100: [Linked Image]

Re: Ghost Town AudioTrack 3 hours ago Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts
SSD's have sub-millisecond access ('seek') times, and can typically read in excess of half a gigabyte / second. For BIAB to work in an Arranger environment, the system only has to read short pre-recorded 'musical phrases', and not generate an entire song. Of course there are other factors, but processing power is extraordinary nowadays, and BIAB could have a minimum requirement if it is to be used as a Arranger capable system as well. Disable that ability unless the overall processing performance is adequate.

Re: Painting A Fence musician17 3 hours ago Forum: User Showcase Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Noel, thank you so much for your very thoughtful comments, and sorry it took me so long to respond. First of all, I hope that your health is better, and that the roller-coaster ride you've been on, for the past 12 months, has given way to some plain sailing, at last! "Painting a fence" ... yes, equilibrium, but also closure. I guess the message also says, to the lady in the song: "I'm done playing your games, whatever happens from now on, I shall be painting a fence". So yes: it is indeed about equilibrium, but, I think, especially about the equilibrium one gains after a tempestuous relationship. Sometimes, one just has to go to "paint one's fence", after such a time, otherwise one will forever be caught in the maelstrom of game-playing, regrets, etc., no? smile I'm glad you've enjoyed this song - you are kind and generous in your comments. I'm not sure what will be next, for me, writing-wise ... I guess I'm as curious as anyone to see "what next" smile Thanks again for such kind words, for this one! smile

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.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
