wow I didn't know Band in a Box was 20 years old. When I buy it soon for the first time it should be incredible. Ok well back in 2005 composing your song using BIAB then giving that track to the musicians really got things rolling for you a lot faster. The muscians could play along with your track at home for a week or so to be ready for the studio. But as you say now you can do something great with BIAB alone. Hey why don't you start working on some new BIAB productions? Just BIAB with your trumpet or whatever horn produced on your pc? Do something like that for an example. Who knows what I will do. Maybe since I will have this program I can maybe learn a few more instruments. It isn't too late. I may be 46 but I can start playing the trumpet or Ukulele or make my albums sound interesting. I just play guitar a little. All the easy chords and some bar chords. Nothing real tricky. And I know how to play arpeggio to make it sound good. I am also buying a TC Helicon product for my vocals. I am looking at the VoiceLive Play and the VoiceLive Touch.

So I guess BIAB isn't ready to create a grammy award winning album yet but it is getting close. I will become a better muscian because of it, a better songwriter. A Songwriter of more than just country songs. I wrote the collection of country years back because it was easy. The easy chords and all. But really my country voice isn't me since I don't really have an accent. Though Australian country singer Keith Urban changes his accent for his singing. Anyway I like to sing Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Perry Como, Dean Martin, a lot of Jazz Standards. But it takes a lot of work to get to be as good as them with a perfect flowing vibrato and everything else. I am getting close to being a professional singer but I still need to keep working on it.

You can hear some of my shabby recordings on www.JazzyShow.com. I have a YouTube demo. The effects on my voice isn't much of anything. It all takes time to sing like Sinatra lol. I might have to write some songs in the style of Chet Baker with some clear tone singing. Try that style out also.

By the way are you in this for BiaB or to break the record for posting? I haven't heard anything about what you do. Any recording links or anything. Just you beating down my avatar like a dirty little red headed stepchild lol. If you are a true producer let me hear what you have came up with. I will critique it fairly. Pay no attention to my frivolous avatar. Think about BiaB and what you will do when you get the new version coming out soon.

I know you are trying to make 2000 posts. No need to rush and put frivolous avatar critiques out. Give us some insight on the program. Show your expertise. That is what the community wants. Go for it. We are all listening now. We want to know what your BiaB mind is about. We want to know the ins'and out's of the program. Give us the links to your productions. We would really like to hear them. I won't play harsh Hollywood producer and critique them down to a B movie on a bad day. I will bring up he positive points. Allow you to shine as much as I think you deserve. Wow!

Given the style of music that is your strength, I predict that you will absolutely love BIAB! Many of the included styles are a perfect match for the jazzy songs you sing so well! Welcome to the forum! I look forward to hearing your first submission to the Users Showcase (That's where people who use this software post original songs they've recorded using PGMusic products)

Some one needs to write BIAB for dummies. I sure would buy it! I wish someone would do a "RealBand for Dummies"... I'd snap it up in an instant. Every time I try to pull it out and learn it, I get frustrated within an hour and just close it and move on... Yeah, I know...."It's easy--if you know how..." But for some reason I just cannot seem to make any headway with it. A "Dummies" book, please?!? Anyone?!? And I'll add +1 for the Beta-testers!... I would also like to add that I think it's time for a MAJOR overhaul of the built-in HELP functions... Thanks!

Hey Pat Marr, Thanks for the compliment on my singing. I hope to keep improving my skills. I want to buy some effects from TC-Helicon to improve the sound of my voice also. You can double your voice and tons of different things. There is VoiceLive Touch I am considering and VoiceLive Play. The quality is professional. Many pros use their equipment. But of course I have to sing quality into it to really sound great. I know it will build my confidence also so that will be good for me. One of my projects I want to do with BiaB is Bossa Nova style music. Sinatra collaborated with Antonio Carlos Jobim for a while. He was the originator of Bossa Nova they claim. Songs like Quiet Nights, One Note Samba, Wave, Girl From Ipanema, Triste, Meditation, Dindi. Songs like that. Look for them on YouTube. So I am planning on attemping to do something similar to these songs. With BiaB I have a good chance. There is so many different styles and I see Bossa Nova also. In the past I wrote me a collection of Country songs because when I was 20 or so I learned to fabricate a good country western accent and I just wrote a big collection with some basic chords. I still of course have my collection of songs I wrote and in fact I will be producing them in BiaB also. But country isn't my main desire here. But I will have some fun with it. I plan on producing a few different artists from my record company Artist Virtual Records. All my artists will just be online bands or singers. 3d Virtual World artists. Like Gorillaz were considered a cartoon band. Very successful. There were many more cartoon bands in the past. But now we need Virtual World success. It just means I can be anyone I want to be. I actually only plan on being the artists that I produce with my record company. No plans for anyone else. One is a band I call Frychester. You can see a picture of my band on www.Frychester.com. So you can see the three avatars that will be the stars. I believe my country western productions will be Jerry Angel. But I am singing in Second Life as Jerry Angel and singing Jazz Standards..lol..anyway as you can see even before I own BiaB it has me doing some thinking. My dreams of being a star is back! I will produce the best albums I can and sell them digitally all over the world with using my record company with a great distributor called Mondo Tunes. Check out that company. They also have CD Baby. CD Baby will make your CD's for 4 dollars..but Amazon will do it for 3 dollars if you buy 100. But I am not sure if that means they ship them all to you at once then you have to ship them. CD Baby ships them. Ok now I am just type happy on this. Anyway yes I am waiting for this to come out. I was a little impatient going to pgmusic looking to see if it is out yet but I am not worried about it. I changed my mindset. I want them to take all month because they might be in the studio now producing some more hours to really pack it with a lot of new tracks. But of coure to me they are all new since I don't own it yet. So I am sure it will be great. Also thanks for telling me that I will really like it with the genre that I sing. So there must be a lot of potential to produce some songs in the Jazz Vocal genre...and hopefully Bossa Nova also. Oh I was just thinking you called me Jerry. I thought how did he know that? My website Jerry Angel...ok lol..I have many singing Aliases lol. SlyRuby aka Jerry Angel, aka Frychester lol

13:40 central standard time and still no 2013.5. Doesn't look like it will be today..... Of course I like a few others are waiting with baited breath but to no avail. Maybe next week... would be nice if a beta tester would at least say that yes indeed they have been testing it so it will be coming.

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."
