cool tune.... and as far as guitars go, they can't ever be too loud. Ask any guitar player worth his salt.

On the serious side.... yeah, as a guitar player who is used to "hearing himself" on stage..... it was a real eye opener to start mixing guitar into a mix so that it sat in the proper place in the mix...... fat and full, not to loud and not too quiet. I still find myself second guessing my mixes.

I am listening on small speakers but I was kinda missing the bass and bottom end.... perhaps from the guitar being too upfront in the mix. If the guitar is backed off 6 to 10 db..... perhaps the mix as a whole could be turned up several db allowing the bass to shine and kick that bottom around a bit more.

NOTE: I will listen on my lappy later with my cans where I can turn it up more.

I'm hearing plenty of bass but the backing instruments sound too far back. When I get time I'll fix it. Too much going on today. Thanks for listening/commenting.

SD, I was having an absolute blast(off)! I love the many new features of v2014. I haven't yet tackled the vocal synthesis feature but I'm very excited about the prospect of singing again. Wow!

Thanks for listening.

Don,
Yep, pretty cool stuff in BB2014. Great job PGMusic!!
I just got my copy over the weekend and have just started looking at at. I've got a lot of catching up to do since I upgraded from BB 2011 MegaPak.

Hi Don,

What a great listen! Doesn't sound like you're too lost on 2014 to me at all.

All the best,
Noel

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."
