Hi all,
I always had the dream of writing/producing some piece of music and somehow selling it to make some decent money. Granted, I love music and using BB/RB as a hobby and passion, regardless of trying to make some $$$ from it, but the remote possibility fuels some of my daydreams.
I think I recall reading that once you buy BB/RB, you're free to create and use all the music generated by them in compositions that you sell - no royalties or copyright permissions required (please correct me if I'm wrong).
All that said, I'm wondering if anyone can reference some individuals that have written and sold a large number of CDs/MP3 where at least 1 track was generated/composed on BB/RB. If so, what albums/mp3s or songs, and what tracks ?
Regards,
Joe

On the recent Bonjovi album they used the Richie Sambora Real Tracks to generate the lead!.......... or so I'm told.

And trust me, I'd rather listen to Real Band than Richie So-boring any day. The 70's called. They want their talk box back. And next year, can we add a 4th chord? You have those 3 down after 27 years.
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.

Ahh, but RB and BiaB can make those three chords into many more already (don't have to wait until next year Eddie!)

I posted a list of what you need to become a star producer of music on the headphones thread somewhere here. But beware, according to the ex-spurts here, you need a big bank account and a proper room of your own, about 40 by 40 feet, with a movable ceiling.
The furniture is going to be about 3k.
The mac is more expensive.
Near fields, I hope you know them.
Headphones, don't get me started.
A real DAW. RealBand is a toy, get over it.
64 tracks I/O with sidechaining.
A dozen mics. - Pop filters. Weasels. (For the pop to go).
None of the above matters. If you have talent, and know someone who...you get the picture.

Don't know what you consider a 'large number' of CD's/MP3s .. but when realtracks first came out Ed Bulmer, a member here, made a CD using some realtracks and it ended up doing OK for him, a song or two got used for a TV show and some other promotion if I recall..
I know of other studios where they have been used, but not sure how they have sold.
I've made a CD using RB that sold hundreds of copies, but it didn't have realtracks, we just used RB to record it.

Now Rharv, that is getting very forgetful!
Old age is Bob's fault!

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.

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."
