I am in the 2nd day of the FAWM songwriting challenge. Here is my home page. The songs are linked to my reverbnation account. I began using My Space but the Reverbnation is a little more viewer friendly, as you can post a link to the individual songs. I hope you will give them a listen and let me know what you think.

Song # 5 is complete. It is a challenge song. The challenge was to write a song and talk about nothing. Here is my song.

Song # six is up it is called God is Faithful and True. It is 6:31 long. Grab a sandwich and sit down in front of the computer and stay awhile, ha, ha. If you have time give it a listen. The vocal is rough, I will try to put a better vocal on tomorrow. Can't promise anything though. Here is a link to it.

Robert,

You are on fire!

I thought about trying it but I'm too slow and chicken. One of these days...maybe...if I can get up the nerve. LOL.

So far you've some great ideas going. I'll wait until it's over and you pick your keepers with your final mixes to comment on anything specific.

It's so cool watching your progress.

Go brother!

You are very talented I am sure you could do it. The thing is you can just put a rough draft of the song on the site, you can also just put the lyrics if you choose. My goal was to write the lyrics on the odd days and then put to BIAB the next. It has just worked out to where I was able to complete them in a day. That way I get a little cushion if needed. I think that it helped that I signed up about a week before, so I thought about the process I was going to use beforehand. So by the time the day came I was not wasting it trying to figure out what method I would use. I had my pad and pen and most importantly BIAB. You ought to give it a try next year!

I have done it! 14 songs in 22 days. Here is # 14.

Was It Easy

While you are there check out all 14. A couple I have to re-sing, due to some pitch problems. My voice went south on me for a few days I hope you will enjoy them though.

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!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
