If you are on the “Don’tcracklists” email list then you already have this email so ignore and sorry for making you look. Too many “sales” at Don'tcracklists (most are AIR products) so I’ll just link ‘em - you are all adults so I assume you all can all do your own homework and make your own make decisions plus you con dig them all out yourself by simply looking around there. The only plugin/piece of software I will “hype,” is AKAI VIP 3.1, if you haven’t tried it, or don’t already have it, it is worth a REAL look. It does have a 15 day demo. VIP integrates ALL VSTi’s and VST’s and works with all controllers. However, it DOES require the free software version of PACE/iLok (but no dongles needed). Besides its other obvious uses, I view it almost as a master librarian for plugs-ins, like you would have for an external synth – but for your plugs. Hard to explain worth you time to look at it has a has demo and some vids on Youboob if you look around. The Plus version, has some really good AIR synths like Vacuum Pro and Hybrid. I got VIP 2 (since updated to 3.1) last year with my Alesis VX49 which itself was a steal on a “Stupid Deal of The Day” at Musicians Friend. I didn’t really need another mini/small or otherwise keyboard but it has fully pushed aside a Roland A49 (freebie with Integra 7) and iRig Keys Pro because it’s a much better controller, but the AKAI VIP integrates with all controllers (so they claim) its $70 http://store.dontcrack.com/product_info.php?products_id=3150 or the “standard” for $50 if you don’t want ANY of the AIR synths/plugs – just VIP. http://store.dontcrack.com/product_info.php?products_id=3149AIR’s DB-33 (a good B3) for $29 (funny both DB-33 and Velvet [an EP], just went OFF sale for around $10!) , http://store.dontcrack.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=119Also a few Sonivox offerings (also needs free PACE/ilok installed) each for $19: Orchestral Companion – Woodwinds, Orchestral Companion – Strings, Orchestral Companion – Brass, and Big Bang Cinematic Percussion (respectively) . http://store.dontcrack.com/product_info.php?products_id=2645http://store.dontcrack.com/product_info.php?products_id=2644http://store.dontcrack.com/product_info.php?products_id=2643http://store.dontcrack.com/product_info.php?products_id=2596Larry

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."
