Registered: 12/12/02 Posts: 1182 Loc: Scotland George Nelson Expert Registered: 12/12/02 Posts: 1182 Loc: Scotland	Here is my latest song with Band in a Box: Same Old Road I used the Audio track in BIAB to record my singing then changed the Wav file to read "Same Old Road soloist". This Placed the Audio as a Performance track onto the Soloist Track. I was then able to re-record the Audio track without having to overdub the Audio. **** Song Summary *********** Key=C , Tempo 120, Length (m:s)=3:08 Style is _CTRRKJN.STY (MedCountryRock with Piano[120RS]) RealTracks in style: 1293:Bass, Electric, TexMexCountry Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 2023:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm CountryRockJohn Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 847:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountryRockRiff Ev 120 RealTracks in style: 844:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountryRockPopping Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 1515:Guitar, Electric, Soloist CountryBrent Ev 120 RealDrums in style: RockTexas^1-a:HiHat, b:OpenHat All comments welcome George Lyrics Here again down this old road Longing for you all the time Seems like I have been here before Your promises dashed on the shore How I long for your tender touch To feel your body close to mine To feel again the warmth of your lips I think that would be divine Yeah baby I'm walking down the same old road Just thinking of you once again Instrumental How I long for your tender touch To feel your body close to mine To feel again the warmth of your lips I think that it would be divine How we danced on that balmy night Well we danced till the morning light We held each other so very tight Baby yeah it felt alright _________________________ Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, Biab 2019 614, Realband 2019 2 i7 Desktop Computer 16Gb Memory

Very smooth flow, So if I understand correctly all of this was recorded, without leaving biab? Thanks for sharing! _________________________ My Tunes Psalm 57:7 My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music.

Registered: 12/12/02 Posts: 1182 Loc: Scotland George Nelson Expert Registered: 12/12/02 Posts: 1182 Loc: Scotland	Hi PgFantastic, Thanks for your comments. Yes it was all recorded in BIAB using the Soloist spare track as the main vocal (by changing the Audio Tracks name to Same Old Road Soloist). Then recording the backing in the Audio Track and adding Harmonies One up. This saved me from any mistakes (although not all ) as I could just re-record again keeping the good recording - does that make sense? - what I mean is that if the Audio on the Soloist track is good then I can leave that one alone and record the backing again. Phew... George _________________________ Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, Biab 2019 614, Realband 2019 2 i7 Desktop Computer 16Gb Memory

Band-in-a-Box® Tip of the Day!

Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® will show you some helpful "Tips" when you start the program? What a great way for new program users to learn all the features of the program! Want to know Tips on just the latest version? This feature can be adjusted to just show the Tips for that too.

Maybe you're a long-time user of the program, and have this feature turned off? To access Tip of the Day (450+ available!), head to Help | Tip of the Day. Your Tip will appear right away - and you'll have the option of reading the Next Tip if you wanted too! Within this window is where you would also choose to "Show Tips at Startup" (if this is unchecked, you won't see them), or "Only Show Tips for Version 2019".

Here's a few Tips the program informed me of the last time I opened Band-in-a-Box®:

In the Piano Roll window, the 'Ghost Note' function allows you to view a single-channel, and see notes on all other channels display in light grey. This is useful when working with multi-channel tracks.

Want a bigger guitar display? Drag the bottom end of the Guitar Window to change its size, or press the SETTINGS button to set a custom size.

The Printout can use left and right MARGINS. This is useful to make printouts for small paper size or 3 hole paper that requires margins.

Edit | Nudge Chords/Melody. Let's say that you have entered a complete song chord progression, and you then realize that all of the chords starting at bar 23 are 1 beat to late. You can use this feature to slide your chords over by 1 beat.
