I just released my cd yesterday and sold 25 copies on the first day.
Thanks to those great real tracks which enabled me to do a whole one man show using them as backing tracks. People were amazed and so "to infinity and beyond." I'm exited.
Thanks all you guys who have helped me out and for your comments and suggestions and also to Rharv and Oren at masteringtmatters for their help with the mix and mastering.

Wow! 25 the first day. Most of the musicians around here just throw them out to the audience so they'll be listened to. This is exciting. Keep us abreast of things.

Keep on keepin' on, Ed!
Always take along CDs to every live performance. Set up a table to sell them. This is something the wife can do, although I'll warn you right away that mine thinks that the CD sales money from gigs goes directly into her purse!

 What great news Ed. Nice to complete a vision. At what type of venue were you appearing? Obviously they enjoyed the "live" show. Also, if you don't mind a question or two, were they self-burned and self-printed? Any other details from which we in the masses could benefit. Way to go.

They were pressed by Sony. A local guy here deals with them and got me a steal.
A thousand copies for $1100. Shrink wrapped, full color cover and insert with full color back cover and jewel case. Glad I didn't have to do it.
The venue was a party at a boat club. Mu music is geared towards that crowd.
I sort of crashed the party with my cd released. Hey it worked. And Mac I haven't seen any of the money my wife collected yet hmmm.

Congrats Ed
I, too, have found that 90% of CD sales happen at performances. Covers the tab some nights..pays the bills other nights..
Glad it all came together for you on time.
Make your sound your own!
.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

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."
