Re: Horns, Playable Real Tracks, huh? Funkifized 04/07/24 10:20 PM Forum: Band-in-a-Box for Windows Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Did not fix the problem. The background horns are there when I solo the horns part, so it's in that track. Just can't see them in any notation. They can't seem to be deleted.

The Secret Song Bass Thumper 04/07/24 08:41 PM Forum: Off-Topic Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Quite by accident we caught most of this program the other night, and were very impressed. I think this is based on the "Orff Method" which we never heard of. Anybody have experience with it? Watch the kid's faces, you can almost hear their brain cells crackling and sparking as neural connections are made. I wish I had a program like this available as a kid; fun and instructive at the same time. The Secret Song

Thanks Scott. We listened to bluegrass versions for decades so it was even more fun with Peter’s idea for a blues version. J&B

People most certainly do, though I think even more use BIAB to make a backing track that suits them and the tune well, then render it to .wav or .mp3. Partly that's for no surprises in the backing, but perhaps more important is that a music player is more compact and it's cheaper/easier to have two in case of failures.

Well, I wasn't necessarily excluding the younger crowd. I was just qualifying myself, although, I'm kind of assuming that the older crowd might relate better, or easier.

Tried that too but when I went to notes the lyrics I'd previously placed still appeared above the measure and I couldn't find a way to enter them by hand under the notes. I need entering lyrics in Band in a Box for Dummies. smile

Just The Melody Skip Ellis 04/07/24 04:34 PM Forum: Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Just curious: does anyone use BIAB backing for solo instrumental performance at assisted living type venues and how is it received? I would like to use tracks to play solo guitar instrumentals of jazz/pop standards - pretty much just play the melody with a little light improv here and there along with backing some chord melody arrangements. Is this something that is even feasible? I know the jazz folks are against backing tracks but I'm not playing for them - I'm playing for people who want a little music to brighten their day but not sure I can pull it off without singing.......which ain't gonna happen. I could probably do it without tracks (just solo guitar) but after 40+ years of working in dance bands, I find it hard to play without a rhythm section. Open for suggestions and would love seeing links to you doing this sort of thing.

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."
