This request comes up regularly, both for guitar and piano.

The question I have about it is, since you want to define your own chord, what would you expect RealTracks to play when it encountered this user-defined chord? No one would have recorded anything to match it, so you would just hear silence plus drums. Or at best, perhaps the program could select the closest match to your chord type that was already defined in BIAB, but then what have you gained?

I can see it working in MIDI, though.

That would be wonderful. If it were possible, it would solve both your request and the other frequent request: can RealTracks play the melody and soloist parts.

I see this as a ways off, since articulation/volume/velocity/timbre issues would need to be addressed, and especially voice leading. At least your request is clearer to me now. Maybe that will help PG Music.

Might I suggest that BIAB begin to resolve the chord name as soon as you have 3 notes, and then calculate the variation based on additional notes added in real-time for example CMaj7 , Dsus2, etc and only goes as far as the chords in the standard database. This way Realtracks could use them.

This would also help the guitarist who has a great chord but does not know the name of it.

The MIDI Chord detection input chord finder already work similarly but being able to use a mouse would be good for someone without a MIDI guitar.

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.

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."
