Hello all

This song was recorded at my house in 1998 using Cakewalk Pro Audio and a cheap mic. It was originally southern gospel.I had saved it as a bundle file (for those of you familiar with bundle files). All the original music was done in midi with my Roland JV1080. It was written by the vocalist. Using the audio chord wizard I was able to set the chord layout with little effort – what a great tool. I used RealBand for the first time and it work great for this type of project. Once the chords were in place I then chose a style, imported the vocal track from the original cakewalk file (as a wav file) and set the part markers. I used Sonar for the rest of the project. I played the guitar intro using my Digitech RP500 using program number 29 which I thought matched well with the guitars in the style. I “scratched” the count in just to be different.

I am having so much fun learning to use BIAB and this kind of project really is challenging. I know it isn't polished but I am thrilled with what one can do with this software. What a great product.

I hope ya'll like it.

Thanks

Mike

Sounded good. It matched up nicely!

I love the chord wizard too! I have old song I wrote but couldn't remember the chords. It would have taken me awhile to figure them out by hand - BiaB to the rescue!

BTW, in case anyone else "missed the URL to the music", it is at the bottom of MrEd's post.

Hi Mike,

When you said this was a Southern Gospel song, I was expecting to hear, oh I don't know, a Southern Gospel song!

Once I got over the surprise of the Rolling Stones playing backup to a Southern Gospel singer, I really did enjoy this one. Of course, the lyrics are indisputable in my book! It's a good, solid song, with a refreshing approach. I like it.

Keep up the good work!

Steve

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.

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."
