Looks like a very creative space. I'm not familiar with any of the outboard gear, but I am wondering how old the house is and whether that radiator still works:)

Big room. Dig those Gibsons. Is that Sonar I see? I use it too.

Just saw this and laughed. The house was built in 1912 by my wife's grandparents. The radiator works fine.

1912! Wow, how sensational is that!

Sure hope you gave it a party for its centenary. I sometimes wonder if houses they build today might see a century.

No big deal - my cabin is older. All we know is that it was there in a map of 1890.

(Sorry to hijack this thread.)

Cool, real cool. Don't tell me, 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 4 car garage. No?

Nevermind, I like that. As a youngster we used to find & restore old cattleman's & loggers cabins in the High Country. Kerosene fridges, pot-belly stoves. Ahhh.

(Now, back to Studios)

OK, so I whined to my wife about not being cool like all the other guys here since I didn't have a lava lamp.

So guess what showed up in the mail today, to my surprise?

Well, all I can say is that before - no matter how cool it looked, it was never a real studio.

But now? Yes now, you've made the grade. A real studio. Congratulations!

Not exactly a studio, but my workspace in a place where space is at a premium. Hong Kong...:-)

How do you find the Integra-7?

It is currently still a little above my pay grade. The unit itself is incredible. The sounds are incredible.

I got off to a rough start due to my lack of understanding midi in getting it to communicate with BIAB and Matt Finley helped me to get over that bump. I'm still working in that area.

Looks like a great box Charlie. Have you got to listen to the drum sounds? How are they?

All of the drums are really good. The Integra comes with a drum expansion sound addition and just playing the demos, they are practically indistinguishable from RealDrums in BIAB to my ear. The Supernatural guitars was the main purpose for my decision to purchase it.

Thanks Matt. My current struggle is trying to understand the CC's and program changes from a good, quality midi song file in BIAB and the way the Integra processes them.
For instance- Glenn Frey's "The One You Love" sax intro.
I will post a new thread so as to not hijack this one.

I cannot quite call my work space a studio but it meets my requirements for now.

A noisy desktop for mixing and a laptop for recording.

I did a little DIY on a mike isolation shield and I am quite surprised at the "flat" response.

I hope I will be able to attach some pics of the man cave which is conveniently separated from the main house

Nice looking space.... love that brick

I'm in the process of building a new studio.... there's a forum thread about it with pictures.

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."
