Hi all,

Just finished my latest project, called Music From The Other Room. All the instrumentation is RealTrax & RealDrums. No live instruments or midi were used. Recorded in my little spare bedroom with a laptop and one mic. Let me know what you think.

Music From The Other Room

Thanks,

Steve Young

Hi, Stephen.

You've got an ear for melody, and a good feel for lyrics. The songs are smooth and pleasant, and the mix is good. You've done a great job.

My only real issue is the pitch correction on the vocals. You generally want it to be as transparent and natural as possible, and it been pretty heavily applied on most of the songs.

Anyway, nice work.

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

Sorry, I don't know how to put those blue boxes around the quotes.
But a big +1. Good luck.

Steve,

Great Job! The cool part is..."Recorded in my little spare bedroom with a laptop and one mic."

It wasn't that long ago when you would have spent un-told thousands $$$ at a local studio to get what "might" have sounded half as good!!

PG Music ROCKS!

How true about the technology! So much we can do now with just a laptop and a mic!

You can get the blue box around the quote by using the [quote] tag. So write something like this:

[quote] stuff i want to quote [/quote]

and you'll get:

Sorry Frankie. It works for me. If you try it again maybe it will work for you. May have been a bandwidth problem. Let me know if you continue to have a problem with it.

Thanks!

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.

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."
