Dear Forum Friends,
I'd like to take a moment to say thanks to all the veterans and everyone who supports them. Your service to your country is appreciated and respected.
Here's a older tune I wrote for all the Patriots out there.

Hi Space Dog,

As you know, I'm writing this from my hospital bed. So if there are any typos, I'm gonna blame it on that! Also, my replies will be brief.

Great song! That staccotto (sp?) piano was perfect to symbolize the marching of soldiers in formation. Your attention to that small detail is what makes the song appropriate and effective in a big way. Nicely done!

Alan,
Thanks. The staccato piano was part of the music from the first time played the song. Backing it up with the snare drum came later.
Best wishes and get well soon!

Tommy
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. I generally don't like to repeat posting a song but I just wanted to say thanks to the vets and their families.

Floyd,
Thanks for listening.

Rob and Anne-Marie,
I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Kudos on such a well written song - I don't think patriotic songs are easy to write. And that piano part with those drums really added to it. Much enjoyed!

Hi SD,

This is a very nice tribute.
I enjoyed it a lot.

Glad you liked it.

Josie
Thanks. I've heard that patriot songs an Christmas songs are hard to write. I guess that's it's too easy to write cliche's
OBTW, I'm just starting a new Christmas song.

Alyn
Thanks.
Sonny.
Thanks. I always try to honor our vets and their families.

Dani,
Thanks.

J&B
I appreciate your kind comments.

Guenter,
Thanks. I'm trying to keep my musical separate from my professional net-presence. But you can call me Mike.

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."
