I use a PC with Windows 11. After a recent update my songs are all going into a BB folder on OneDrive. It's not convenient as I can't easily see my recent history or quickly access my songs. I'd like my songs to be stored on my C file with an option to back up toOneDrive. Would appreciate, easiest route, step by step guide to sort. Thank you.

As the title implies, this is probably an embarassingly simple question, but I haven't been able to work out the answer, so I'm hoping someone here will be able to help me, assuming you can stop yourself laughing at my apparent cluelessness! How do I create a chord progression that just loops the progression indefinitely, without BIAB putting in an 'end' chord. For example - I am just trying to create a 4 chord progression (Am, C, Em, D) which I just want to have looping while I practice some improvisation/scales. I enter the 4 chords, press Play and BIAB whacks a extra D chord at the end, with the 'end' label. How do I just get my 4 chords to play endlessly, until I click Stop? No chorus, no bridge, no anything.......just 4 chords playing over and over.

While working in the StylePicker today, I wasn’t too sure what I wanted to create. Typically, I use the Filter String box to really narrow down my search for a specific type of Style. This time I used the ‘Category’ dropdown menu located just above the Apply button (see screenshot below) to explore new subgenres and instrumentation. More specifically, I went into the Traditional/World Styles Category and noticed that the subgenres are further organized by type of subgenre. I’ll be using this menu option more often to spark new ideas and explore new genres.

Hello fellow musicians! During this wonderful journey through Band-in-a-Box I've found myself using the familiar song title feature more and more. This feature is great for finding styles that are relative to a well known song or artist which really helps narrow down a specific sound or feel I'm going for. Despite this feature coming out roughly 9 years ago I'd like to hopefully answer any questions regarding the use of this feature as well as provide some clarity as to what it can and cannot do in this post. First off, to use this feature in Band-in-a-Box, you can go into the StylePicker (MultiPicker Library). Near the top right of this window dialog you will see a search bar separate from the filter string. This search bar will have 3 buttons next to it - Enter | Find Titles | Request. 1. Enter - Start by searching a song title or artist name (make sure to use correct spelling of these titles for best possible results). Once you have found the song you want, simply click on the title once to highlight, then click the Enter button to the right of the search - this will apply filters relative to the song in your filter string on the left. When searching for songs or artist names, it's important to note that the list we use to search is hand-curated by our team so it will not recognize any songs or artists not inputted by our team directly. 2. Find Titles - First make sure to select and apply a Style to your current song project, then click the Find Titles button. This feature allows you to find song titles based on the current style you have selected, to then get matching Styles based on that - it works almost as a reverse search if you want to find songs to use similar to the Style you already have selected. 3. Request - This button is for making requests to get songs inputted into the list. Click the Request button to get forwarded to our forums on your default internet browser - make sure to login with your forum account (Your customer account is different from a forum account and will require a separate registration) then simply post a new thread in Songs to add to the Band-in-a-Box Song Titles database forum. Additional notes to consider: - This feature is for finding similar Styles to the known song in the StylePicker - this does not search for specific RealTracks or Drums. - Searching and entering the song will not apply a Style that has 100% identical instruments, instead finding close relative accompaniments based on the song's tempo, feel, genre, and time.

As Jonathan Tetelman's journey shows, sometimes the path to success takes luck, fate, talent and unexpected twists and turns. Born in Castro, Chile, in 1988, Tetelman was adopted at approximately 6 to 7 months old by an American couple. He was raised in Princeton, New Jersey. His musical talent was discovered by a local teacher, leading him to attend the American Boychoir School in Princeton. He later trained as a baritone at the Manhattan School of Music before transitioning to a tenor at the Mannes School of Music. He also formerly worked as a nightclub DJ in New York City. In the video below, he sings "On The Street Where You Live" from "My Fair Lady".

I am new to Band in a Box. I've listened to several videos for beginners, but I'm having trouble setting up the form for my first song (basically a simple 12-bar blues song). When I clicked on Song Form and selected to generate an intro, I indicated I wanted a four bar intro, it generated an automatic intro; however, I expected to see a repeat mark at bar five and I am not seeing a repeat mark. I basically want to create a 12 bar blues song with a four bar intro. I want it to play five choruses, and then I want to write out the rest of the song, which is 20 bars after 5 choruses are played. I tried to select a Song Form and fill in the information for each of the sections but when I selected Generate Form, I got a message that says "there is no form string (e.g. AABAC) or no valid sections defined. Unable to generate a song form." Also, for the tag that I'm trying to create, I was hoping to enter one chord per 8th note in one bar at the very end, but it seems as though I can only enter one chord per quarter note. Is that the case? Can anyone refer me to a video or videos that will address these issues that I'm having?

From Gemini Together, they defined the "Brill Building Sound" of the 1950s and 60s, transitioning the music industry from sheet music to the teen-pop era. The Relationship: Rivalry and Synergy The two buildings were the twin pillars of New York’s Tin Pan Alley. The Brill Building (1619 Broadway): The "classier" establishment. It housed older, more established publishers like Southern Music and Mills Music. 1650 Broadway: Located just a block away at 51st and Broadway, this building was often seen as the "younger, hipper" sibling. It was the hub for Aldon Music (Don Kirshner and Al Nevins), which employed the legendary stable of teenage songwriters. Who Worked Where The Brill Building (1619 Broadway) 1650 Broadway Key Songwriters Burt Bacharach, Hal David, Lieber & Stoller Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil Key Figures Johnny Mercer, Benny Goodman 1650 Don Kirshner, Al Nevins, Neil Sedaka Atmosphere Formal, corporate, established Fast-paced, competitive, "hit factory" style 20 Hits from Each Building From 1650 Broadway (Primarily Aldon Music) Will You Love Me Tomorrow – The Shirelles (Goffin/King) The Loco-Motion – Little Eva (Goffin/King) You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' – The Righteous Brothers (Mann/Weil) Up on the Roof – The Drifters (Goffin/King) Breaking Up Is Hard to Do – Neil Sedaka (Sedaka/Greenfield) On Broadway – The Drifters (Mann/Weil/Leiber/Stoller) One Fine Day – The Chiffons (Goffin/King) Walking in the Rain – The Ronettes (Mann/Weil) Go Away Little Girl – Steve Lawrence (Goffin/King) Calendar Girl – Neil Sedaka (Sedaka/Greenfield) We Gotta Get Out of This Place – The Animals (Mann/Weil) Take Good Care of My Baby – Bobby Vee (Goffin/King) Blame It on the Bossa Nova – Eydie Gormé (Mann/Weil) I'm into Something Good – Herman's Hermits (Goffin/King) Kicks – Paul Revere & the Raiders (Mann/Weil) Crying in the Rain – The Everly Brothers (Greenfield/King) He's So Fine – The Chiffons (Bright Tunes Music - 1650 tenant) Oh!

In one building, you had: Publishers: They owned the songs. Songwriters: Often worked in pairs in cubicles with pianos. Demographers: People who tracked what "the kids" were buying. Promoters: They would take a fresh acetate (demo) to the radio stations immediately. Don Kirshner (at 1650) was the mastermind of this. He didn't just sell songs; he managed the writers, the publishing, and eventually the TV interests (like The Monkees). Distribution was often handled by independent labels like Atlantic, Philles (Phil Spector), or Dimension Records. When Did They Cease to Exist? Technically, both buildings still stand physically, but their era as the "Songwriting Capital of the World" ended around 1964–1966. The decline was caused by: The British Invasion: Groups like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones wrote their own material, making the "hired songwriter" model less relevant. The Move to LA: The center of the music industry shifted west to Hollywood. The Singer-Songwriter Movement: Artists like Bob Dylan and Carole King (who left the factory to become a solo star) changed the industry's focus to "authentic" personal expression. Other Interesting Facts The "Demo" Singers: Many songwriters sang their own demos. If you listen to early Carole King demos, you can hear the blueprint for her Tapestry album. Cubicle Life: The rooms were so small that Carole King and Gerry Goffin often had to work in a room that was essentially a closet with a piano. 1650’s Basement: The basement of 1650 Broadway housed the Iridium Jazz Club for years (famous for Les Paul's residency), maintaining the building's musical DNA long after the publishers left. Phil Spector’s Start: Before his "Wall of Sound" fame, Spector was an apprentice of Leiber and Stoller at the Brill Building, where he co-wrote "Spanish Harlem."

Here's a new video by Alejandro of Reapertips fame that showcases some new features in Reaper v7 that have been introduced over the last year. I've already implemented several of them. Also, I've been using his Reapertips theme since he introduced it for Reaper v6. He updated it for v7 and incorporated support for the v7 Theme Adjuster. It's my favorite of all Reaper themes. I paid for it, but you can get it for free by entering "0" for the payment amount. Reapertips Theme
