Hi All

I've been away for a while. I play in a couple of bands now - I am always rehearsing for something or running to a gig so I haven't been able to touch BIAB for about a year. But I finally have some down time with the holidays so I got the 2013 upgrade and laid down some BIAB drums, bass and synth pad tracks for an instrumental idea I have had in my head for while. This is just a scratchpad of the idea. We may try it with the band and maybe record it at some point.

Hope you all like it.


Standing in the Storm


Cheers

your keyboard sounds more like a guitar than most guitars!
I bet your band plays at least one song by TOTO... you have their sound nailed.

Loved the camera angle so I could watch (and envy) your technique. I was about 60% that good in my prime, and that prime was about 15 years ago so now it's a WHOLE different story.

The presence of the 8 pads on your top keyboard makes me think that is a controller and you were playing a sample from somewhere other than an internal patch. What was that authentic guitar sound???


I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.

Hi All

Thanks for the kind words.

You are correct - the top keyboard is an m-audio axiom midi controller. The electric guitar sound is coming from my laptop. It is RealLPC 3.0 from MusicLab running thru Guitar Rig 5 as the amp effect.

Jeff, your guitar playing sounds just like the real thing, wow. I'll have to take up knitting or something if keyboarders are taking over from guitarists. Nice.

Great sound and great chops man!

Are you keyboardists trying to put us guitarists out of business? That was one of the best guitar emulations that I have ever heard!


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests 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."
