The final chord in the James Bond Theme I believe is an EmMaj9 chord. I can't seem to input that into BIAB.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Frank,

As I understand it, EmM9 = E G B D# F#

With this in mind, you could try...

GMaj7#5/E

This should give you all the notes and, with E in the bass, should be the sound you are after.

If you are using Realtracks, whether or not this plays will depend on the Realtrack you're running and if the chord was recorded when the RT was created.

It may be a good idea to test the chord using MIDI tracks to begin with to see if it gives the sound you are after.

Regards,
Noel

Depending on scores, you may find also a Em69 as the final chord of the James Bond Theme.

Noel has it right. Gmaj7#5/E You have to spell out the maj and use the number # sign, not the + sign.

I have no idea what that was about. Could you explain more? Why did you call it Noel's Theme?

If it was supposed to be humorous, I missed it completely. If it is a reflection or reference on the help and assistance provided by any member in this Forum to a James Bond Theme, I am not sure how I should be amused.

I'm sure I have missed something here.

There should be a bit of a warning with that link. The download is surrounded by click-bate with installer files.

There most be a better why to share a .sgu file?

Yes. I didn't like the delivery mechanism either. I used a lot of A/V checking before I opened anything. The source seemed to come from some sort of bloat-ware delivery.

Unlike the old saying "if you build, it they will come"

In BIAB "what you notate will not always play". I looked at the file, cute! But I would say this is a bust for BIAB, that chord does not sound right and what is notated by BIAB don't look right.

But I suspect we already new a BIAB RT would not play a GMaj7#5/E. But I will be glad to defer judgement to my more musically knowledgeable forum mates if you have a different conclusion. grin

Sorry, and i used to think mediafire was OK. Not so thus. I'll move the file else where. Just the one chord combined with the used style & RT produced some nice moving soundscapes .... F

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!

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.

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."
