Here is an original song "The Reason" I wrote in 2008. All the instruments are BIAB, It was recorded with a $13.00 Mic so I really had to eq vocal, I used a High Pass filter I cut at 250 hz. There is also a traditional tune O Little Town of Bethlehem. I just recorded it today, My voice is still on the mend. The guitars are midi and the fiddle Realtracks. I appreciate any feedback and comments. Merry Christmas!

Robert,

Very well done. A very nice song. Great mix. The simplicity of the acoustic guitars and pedal steel is perfect. And your vocal sounds good.

It would be quite cool if you could have a "choir" singing along on the chorus - maybe run your vocal through the harmonizer. Think it would really "set it off"...

Great job.

Hi Robert,

As others have said, the simplicity of this arrangement is a major strength of the song. Well done.

Hi, Robert. I had a listen to "Little Town of Bethlehem." It's a nice arrangement: simple and to the point. Very effective, and where you drop everything down for the final verse is +1 Super Effective.

My only negative comment is that you pop T's and S's throughout the song. I don't think that shows up in other songs, so it might just be how close you are to your mike. This sort of stuff can be surgically corrected in a lot of DAWs, but it's not a big thing.

Good to hear you are on the mend!

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

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."
