Halloween 2021

It only took 2 hours for me to do this quick and dirty Halloween song.

BiaB style - SLOHARD+.sty - Slow Hardness Urban Pop +
Tempo = 85 BPM

In my haste I didn't save what sounds I used but the sound effects are public domain sounds.

Feel free to play it this Sunday night.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Mario, I'm going to be hearing that woman cackling in my sleep tonight! I kept waiting for Vincent Price to drop by! Your imagination for these kind of tracks is way beyond anything I could come up with! See you later! Torrey

Allow me to set a scene for you:

It's after 6PM. It's raining hard outside, and here in the Pacific North West it's dark out by now. My eyes are light sensitive, so I keep the lights dim in the office so there's only a faint orange glow illuminating the room, and I'm the last one at the office. I load your song ready to hear some Halloween tunes to set the mood for this weekend, and that voice completely startles me! Haha, I think you did a great job creating a perfectly creepy track well suited for the season. Great job!


Cheers,
Ember

Wonderful and perfect timing, Mario. Our granddaughter is having her 7th birthday party on Saturday, the day before Halloween. Her birthday isn't until the 6th, but she likes the scary stuff. She knew every line from Ghostbusters and Goosebumps by the time she was 4. I hope it's okay with you if we feature this spooky goodie in the dark and scary entrance to her house. This is truly amazing.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Mario,

This is excellent, but I would never listen to it at night in a dark room... LOL!

Thanx everyone for listening and those very nice comments.

PS - I'm sorry if I have caused anyone to lose any sleep because of this song whistle

I'll get you my pretty!

What a ton of Halloween fun.

A masterful sound collage that weaves in a bit of humor and a lot of fright.

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."
