I have just completed a new original song. The inspiration came from just playing with RB2009! Although it is a sad-ish song it is not from personal experience---- Just from a RealBand experience! (And a lot of production tweaking and poking ;o)
I'm very excited pleased with the result. RB is making my life so much easier!

The song can be heard here:
I'm Not What You Want

Thanks for giving it a whirl,
Dave.

I like the song! Its good sitting in the balcony looking at the horizon at dusk.

Whats the bpm that you usually select? (beats per min)
Did you use external instruments or purely real band BIAB ?


And are the other songs using Real band as well?

Thanks Asian Sun and Rob.

The BPM for this one started at 65 but I wanted it slightly faster (about 70) but increasing the BPM in BB or RB can sometimes cause unwanted artifacts which in more aparent on acoustic guitar so transposed the track in a wav editor which brought it to 70BPM and a semitone higher.

I used an acoustic guitar patch from sampletank for the intro, solo and end. Apart from that it was RB and adjustments!

Of my other songs to which you refer, "The Message" was RB, the others were not..

Hope this addresses your questions,

Thanks,

Kindest Regards,

Dave.

Dave,

Good song and nice job on the recording/mixing. I am finding that a lot of the tunes I am trying to get into BIAB/RB are not at that "recommended" BPM setting, so I am going to be fighting those "artifacts".

Thanks Kevin.
Yeah it's worth tweaking to lose the artifacts and sometimes the other instruments can help mask them to some extent. Peter Gannon told me it is something they are continually striving to improve so here's to the future updates!

Cheers,
Dave.

PS Just been listening to some of the tracks you've been working on...... There's some pretty cool stuff there! I'm gonna listen some more tomorrow, it's late here ;o)

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!

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.
