Man, that harmonica is wild - in a good way. Great bass along with many other fine tracks. The vocals are creative and effective in arrangement. A lot of tracks to mix and your work sets up a great soundstage on our monitors. Glad you finished it! J&B
Thanks for listening and responding, J&B. Always appreciated.
Very nice, ( I had to Google the word Gymnopedie ... LOL) Synth V sounds beautiful, and the simple yet effective guitar work set against your lyrics are a work of art.
Well, that was a fun listen! Can't go wrong with Janice on vocal (loved the harmonies!) and Peter on guitar in my book Great slide playing throughout, Peter, and I liked the rock guitar licks you did at the end. Nice take on an old classic, enjoyed.
I enjoyed your tribute, Chris. Really nicely done. Re the YT video, playing a piece well that is this slow and with a lot of dynamic range is WAY more difficult than it looks. Props to the pianist. Great rendition.
Thanks a lot Bass Thumper - the strings are just a preset in Omnisphere (Cathedral Strings?), I entered little volume envelope ups & downs so the strings were a bit varied! Chuffed you liked it, thanks for listening!! Best, Carl
Very cool soundscape, sort of science folk with pleasant arrangement. Nice chords, melody and bass lines. The whole structure is nicely evolving like viruses mutating, but yet the rhythm (calm scientist) has everything under control. You surely know how to make interesting instrumentals. Janne
Hey Janne, I appreciate your review. ". . . nicely evolving like viruses mutating" . . . this statement is quite an astute connecting of the dots and very clever. Thanks! --Steve
You captured the era, tone, and groove of this song. The vocals fit perfectly with the mood and lyrics. I'm confused, is this Real Tracks or Real Players?
Thats wonderful David. I once used this piece as an audition for a Broadway production ... I didnt get the part, but I learned the music. Difficult and beautiful ... I doubt that I can play it as well as you at this age. Nicely done.
Registration and Activation are two different processes. If you purchase directly on our website, then yes the product is automatically registered to your online account. If it is not showing in your account, this means there is a different email address entered on your order from the email you use to login to your account, or there is a typo in the email somewhere. If you need to contact us during our closed hours, you can email sales@pgmusic.com and we can look into fixing this for you. In the mean time, your serial number would have been emailed to you in your order confirmation. If you had misplaced this email, we can also look into re-sending it to you. If you had purchased through a reseller company, then they should have provided your the serial number in an email or invoice. Activation is done inside of Band-in-a-Box, under the Help menu. This video also shows the steps for activation:
_ROUSING demo starts with a double-stop on the fiddle. That's what I want. I load the demo and play it and no double stop at the beginning. I regenerate the part many times (14+) and I can't get the double-stop to come up at the start. Finally I let it play thru and on the third time thru the chorus it plays the double-stop at the beginning of the chorus. How to I force that double-stop at the beginning of the song?
Mrs. Notes is female and six years younger, so odds are, it'll be her problem.
Well, the "female" part of that was kind of implicit, but thanks for pointing it anyway. If she is six years younger than you, she looks great for 91!
Perhaps it is time you sell your gear, Eddie. You seem to be slipping. I'll explain: I pointed out female because females live longer than men do. You remember females, don't you? Add to the fact that she's 6 years younger, the odds are she will be around longer than me, and I'll have someone to care for me. Got it? I told her the last person standing can sell the house, and it'll pay for their needed care. BTW, I look great for 91 too, and I hope we both look this good when we get there. Also, if you are selling a nice tenor sax, let me know. I might be in the market. Notes ♫

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
