I guess I’ve been real old school in my vocal recordings… My work flow has been 1 time sing the whole friggin song though and record it… Yea...Pre Elvis Recording Theory…

Well Tonight I just joined the new century...I found and used this product called “Melodyne Studio”… Its a plugin for protools… as well as a VST plugin...wait for it.... that might work in BB directly...… its amazing for pitch correction as well as timing correction on vocal.....As well as other uses… instant harmonies…

This video shows pitch correction in Protools.. but a search will give you more info on vst use:

This is Melodyn... on a vocal track.. double clicking auto corrects... the grey area is what the exact pitch should be.. the orange area is what it actually is...

yeah, Melodyne has been discussed here many times in the past. It is one of the coolest music tools available IMO... and what it brings to the table is a good match for BIAB/RBs strengths.

I believe it was JazzMammal who used it a while ago in an experiment to change the notes in a real track to achieve a specific melody. And while the final result didn't pass the guru test (Mac had some interesting and amusing comparisons to make) , its worth noting that JazzMammal focused mainly on moving the notes. He didn't mess with the other features such as smoothing the transitions, and tweaking the little details that could have made it sound totally realistic.

We all use more than one musical tool to create music. IMO, Melodyne is a must-have for every home recording enthusiast who can afford it. It brings so much more to the table than just pitch correction. You likened it to a word processor for music. I think of it in this way: if music were a tuxedo, Melodyne would be the lint brush. It can clean up just about any audio glitch you can imagine.

Bad note? Move it to the right note!

bad timing? drag the notes to the right place!

Too much or too little vibrato? You can make it less or more

want to change a melody to a different key? it doesn't just move every note the same number of steps, it can transcribe the melody to ANY key

Want to create a MIDI melody without playing a controller of any kind? Just hum the melody into melodyne, and export it as MIDI

And more. I am totally blown away by this product. I'd say You'll be happy you bought it, but you already are.

What key is the song in? Is the "grey" really what the pitch should be? On the very first note, do you want an Eb (D#) as suggested or the "D" note? Same thing on the 2nd note. Certainly looks like you are trying to sing an "A" note and not the suggested G# (Ab).

the one bummer is that it does NOT work as a plugin in RealBand. Works fine in many other products. I have to use it as a standalone app, which involves exporting the track I want to edit, make the changes in Melodyne, then import the results back into Real Band.

And according to the person I talked to at Celemony, they have no plans to make it compatible with RB as a plug.

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!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
