This is another song written by Alta Florence. I used Biab to create the guitar. I then took it into realband to correct when the guitar player went into left field, as he sometimes will. Ha, Ha. I just kept regenerating each bar that needed it until it fit the song. it is just a guitar Rt 365 acoustic finger picking. I doubled the guitar and then did a very small offset of the two in time. All feedback is welcome. Thanks!

Nice work - clear and uncluttered.

While the fingerpicking guitar is nice, it would be nice to have something to provide a bit of variety. For example, instead of continuing the fingerpicking pattern throughout, use a single chord strum and a beat of silence on the last measures. For example

[Strum] If you want to see...
[Strum] What true love could be...
[Strum] Look at Him
[Beat of silence, the fingerpicking resumes]

Anyway, nicely done.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Robert,

Alta wrote a beautiful lyric. The mix, vocal and guitar has a nice sound - I think that David's idea would add a nice touch too.

Robert,

I agree with David and Josie about the guitar work. The lyrics are really good. I do like the song. Keep up the good work!

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."
