#209989 - 07/21/13 10:15 AM [User Showcase] Same Old Road
Registered: 12/12/02 Posts: 1187 Loc: Scotland George Nelson Expert Registered: 12/12/02 Posts: 1187 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 2021 825, Realband 2021 3c 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.

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 2021 825, Realband 2021 3c i7 Desktop Computer 16Gb Memory

Band-in-a-Box® - Boxing Clever - Sound on Sound #TBT

Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® is more than 30 years old? I stumbled across this 1990 magazine article explaining the relatively new program, and think it's an enjoyable read for any Band-in-a-Box user - it really shows that we are always listening to user feedback when developing our program!

Read the article: Boxing Clever: Band-In-A-Box Software

A few of my favorite statements:

"The intention of PG Music's Band-In-A-Box package is to couple that speed and convenience with the improved flexibility of the personal computer. Versions are available for the Atari ST, Mac, and PC compatibles. Have the programmers succeeded? And can they rid themselves of the stigma of the auto-accompaniment section? Given the above state of affairs, the first hurdle that the program has to overcome is one of acceptance and, frankly, a name like 'Band-In-A-Box' is a bad start."

(I think our name was a great start!)

"The final results are, to say the least, impressive. Band-In-A-Box achieves something that most hardwired auto-accompaniment sections have never been able to do - inject a degree of feel into the music. It really does sound more human than so many of the computer generated pieces I've heard."

"...I'm quite convinced that PG Music will have a winner on their hands. This is one piece of software that you can get more out of than you put in."
