I left the real tracks mostly intact for this one, I cut up the drums a bit to add some punch ins and didn't use one of the 3 guitar tracks. I added live bass and lead and tried to sing some vocals.

Rocking holiday song and cool lead licks you added. Also liked the bass. Got my toes tapping. I'm not in the studio so will leave it to others to comment on the mix. Sounds good on itty bitty tablet phones. smile

Thanks for the feedback. I have gone 100% BIB for composing, hard to beat for getting ideas to music

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Rick,

What a great listen!

Right now I'm sitting here in front of my computer, feet tapping and fingers typing in time as I listen to you singing and your BIAB band playing. The writing and the arrangement are excellent. I really love all the Christmas sound effects that you've added here and there... they are captivating ear candy!

It's thumbs up from me!

All the best,
Noel

I was hoping I was close to something fairly decent. Thanks for all the great reviews. Halloween is the launch off the top of the mountain, It always seems that it picks up speed and you blink and it's Christmas !!! I'll post this again after a few more tweaks (more guitars!) maybe be done by Christmas week.

Thanks for the listens everyone!!

Rock

I have lots of BIB inspired tunes on my website if anyone cares to listen.

Hi Rick ...

This is a really cool song! the guitar work is terrific and your vocal sounds fine to me. Nice strops and breaks. The background holiday sounds really add a lot to the listening experience. Love the acoustic only background track near the end. Thanks for a really nice listen. Best to you ...

Very enjoyable Christmas rocker, it has the fast pace of travelling and excitement of the relaxing holiday. Catchy melody, nice solo, good effects.

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."
