My first submission since my liver started failing from an overabundance of iron dues to hemochromatosis leading to a diagnosis of N.A.S.H. Got a transplant and got back to work.

Here is a song I wrote back in 2014 - worked on for a bit in 2015 - and just recently finished.

Hallūyāh (Worthy Of Our Praise!)

It was created using the all midi Chopin Slow Waltz in Band in a Box.

I then subbed out a couple of midi parts with big sample libraries such as: Miroslav Philharmonik I and II with Sample Tank from IK Multimedia
I then wrote the most of the 20 plus parts using the same program
Finally I wrote and added the vocals using East/West Hollywood Choirs teaching it how to say the words.
I laid most of the parts I wrote using a guitar with Jam Origins Midi guitar 2 software
and with a Komplete Kontrol S-49 keyboard.

Let me know what you think - blessings!

At 2.17 it begins to sound like parts of the Damien soundtrack.
BIG sound and interesting arrangement.


Cheers

When this piece started I wasn't sure if I would keep me engaged for the entire journey. However, skilful use of well-chosen instruments plus impressive build of tension and drama did the trick. Very cinematic. Thought the final note of the violin was choked off somewhat and would have preferred to hear it prolonged for another second or so. Hope 2020 sees you overcome those challenges you wrote about.

Take care,

Brian.

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."
