You need to spend some serious time on that one - you could get those tracks where you want them and make that a BIG song. It's got "fun" written all over it. Maybe get LOTS of people singing those "whoa's" and "lala's"... (the crowd at the bar thing...). I think it's cool... floyd 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

I hope you find time down the line to work on this one. I'd love to hear it. All the best, Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

OP Kemmrich Expert Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 1,815	Floyd and Noel: Thanks for checking out those tunes. I have had success on a couple of other big sing along tunes, I might have to try that here. I have been remiss in doing any listening here (FAWM and all that, ya know), but hopefully I can get a little commenting in this week. 4.) Descent (a non-BIAB instrumental with voices and guitars song) ***************************************************************** 5.) Don't Keep Me Waiting: A western swing song -- I don't know if I had done one of these before. This was a skirmish title (write and record in a hour). I did the first cut in 45 minutes or so, but then I went back and took a couple of hours to put the BIAB version together. Style is _WNSWING.STY (WesternSwing Quintet Sw(150-220)) Key=E , Tempo 115, Length (m:s)=2:08 RealTracks in style: ~~536:Bass, Acoustic, Pop Sw 120 RealTracks in style: ~~372:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Hank Sw 120 RealTracks in style: ~1128:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm WesternSwingWarmA-B Sw 165 RealTracks in style: ~812:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Western Swing Sw 165 RealTracks in song: ~1966:Clarinet, Soloist DixielandMediumA-B Sw 110 RealTracks in song: 1207:Fiddle, Soloist GypsyJazzBallad Sw 110 RealDrums in style: NashvilleSwing8^1-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride *************************************************************** 6.) No Second Chances (a non-BIAB guitar/vocal tune -- another skirmish!) *************************************************************** 7.) Indian Trance: I went looking for something different and loaded the demo for this style. I just used that and added a couple of electric guitars. Key=C , Tempo 190, Length (m:s)=1:33 Style is CHAKRA1.STY (Chakra1 - 6/8 Indian Raga New Ag) Style MIDI Instruments are : Synth Strings 1 (51), Marimba (13), Kalimba (109), Sitar (105), MIDI Drums :1 Standard Drum Kit (1) ***************************************************************** Now at bandcamp: Crows Say Vee-Eh @ bandcamp or soundcloud: Kevin @ soundcloud

OP Kemmrich Expert Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 1,815	Thanks for the listens, fellow FAWMers (and non-fawmers, too!). I finally wrote the 2nd verse for Song # 6, No Second Chances (a skirmish tune). I also re-recorded it and while it is OK, I lost a little bit when I recorded everything separately. Instead of re-doing it, I added a BIAB cello and fiddle (ha, ha). I really wanted to use that cello somewhere anyway! 6.)

floyd jane Veteran Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 11,694 Florida	Kevin, No Second Chances came out nicely. I like Connection a lot. Great "overall sound" (you do that so well) on that. And a cool lyric. Collision Course is my favorite. Terrific song. On all of these, your playing is so nice. Really "makes" the song. You get an amazing recorded sound with your acoustic guitars! And it all fits together so well... floyd 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

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."
