Here's my first User Track: Flute, Pop Solo 120

It's a sampled flute, using the Vintage Horns library.

Here's the demo track: FluteSoloDemo.mp3

It's only a 1 minute track, so there's not a lot of material. Lots of reverb helps. laugh

Feedback is welcome!

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

First this is great right out of the gate.
Until I re-read your posting thought it was you playing.
Vintage Horns library sounds really good.

I know with your vocal work, your ear is more critical than mine.
There are a few anomalies, but think that is the nature of how
the UT's work. More complex notes, more anomalies with work I was trying to do.

Am so happy to have someone else over here in the darkside.

Sheez, the sounds of that flute, now you triggered my "I want-it " syndrome.

Wasnt reading close enough but here is another demo using your UT.

Hope my memory is right..

Thanks David for your work and sharing.

Hi, Frank.

Glad to know you liked the track! I'm supposed to be working on something else right now, but I thought I'd have a go at doing a track anyway. I printed out the 10 minute template, but don't have the time or energy for that right now!

I let the "I want it" syndrome get the better of me when I got the Vintage Horns library. It turned out to only run on Windows 7, and I'm still running Vista. So I sampled all the instruments at all the articulations on a VPC, rendering in non-realtime mode. Then I split the wave files and built a bunch of .sfz files by hand. Garritan's Aria Player does a pretty good job playing .sfz files back.

I've done several iterations of this track, removing some of the recurring motifs and simplifying some parts. 32 bars isn't a whole lot of material! The more I stuck with chordal tones, the better. There are still a couple clinkers in there.

I edited out a lot of notes at the end of measures that sounded great leading into the measure that followed - but not so great with others. Grace notes at the start of the measure also seem to be a dicey proposition with recombination.

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."
