The tip published by PG Music on the 18th of September was how to save your BIAB file as a video. I never knew this existed!! I think I might enjoy this feature....

Here is a basic backing track in C major for Amazing Grace. You can use this track to try and pick out the melody by ear or to just play and sing along to.

I am busy with an ear training course with Musical U and I think the folks there, that don't have band-in-Box, may enjoy these videos.

Amazing Grace Practice Track in C Major (folk swing 110 bpm)

Fairly rockin'

RealBand has that also now.
There's a free avi to mp4 converter here to convert the very large avi to smaller mp4 video:

Band-in-a-Box is really the most awesome tool (as if we didnt know that!)

Someone on Musical U said they wished they had this track in a Hawaiian style. So bang, presto, change the style in BIAB, make a video and upload to Youtube. In about 5 minutes flat! Btw, he then asked if that was me on the Pedal Steel

errr! Is it possible to DOWNLOAD the Utube video in Band in a Box in order to practise without internet? (incredible, you give them one feature and they just want more!!)

Thanks for a quick reply (dont you go to sleep at some time?!!).
Unfortunately, I do not have any of these devil devices!) Just have a computer in order to have fun with Band in a Box!!
Anyway, dont get stressed, it was just a question, of course I can stay tuned to UTube and follow "amazing grace" all right...

Hi bernard. I live in South Africa so it is mid morning here

You can use a screen capture program as mentioned by pipeline. I also use www.bandicam.com to make videos from m the screen. You can save it to your C drive and view whenever you want.

Otherwise you can copy the settings and make your own Biab file

What? you want me to do some manual work? (transcribing? like in the pre-computer era). You re not serious!
Anyway, all your tips noted, thanks a lot, carry on with the videos...

Just go here https://youtubemultidownloader.com/
and paste this link in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w--jsfarT6M and it will let you download the youtube videos.

OK, worked perfectly, thanks for the tip...

Keep on with the great videos and help, Joanne! They're an incredible asset to many, as it would so seem

Wow, how can you not know this feature was in there, Jo, it's been included for at least 3 years now!

Anyway, since this method gives you the chords right into the video, it could potentially make those "educational" clips of your cover songs a whole lot simpler to make

p.s. I know you were just whipping out those two demos real quick for the sake of showcasing the feature, and that you're obviously busy with other things, and I'm nothing but a big nitpicker here and yadayada, but well...both of them have the wrong chord at the end

Hi

I get an audio recording on the video but just a black screen for the video itself on my PC. I've tried different codecs and different dimensions. I just used 'Show video file' not 'Upload to Youtube'. I've got two screens, a TV and a monitor and I moved BIAB to both, but still just a blank screen. When I export from BIAB to Youtube. it works fine. See below: (I was just trying to demonstrate/test lyrics)

Also, the BIAB Save as Video pop up screen hides behind the BIAB main screen. (I reckon that's a bug.) I also have to import it into Youtube. The drag option won't work.
