IF YOU WANT A CHANCE TO WIN A FREE BAND-IN-A-BOX ULTRAPAK, act quickly... by March 31, you should do the following:
1. If you have Band-in-a-Box 2014 already, watch one of the first 2 videos (see below, making UserTracks with Band-in-a-Box, or with RealBand. If you don't have BiaB 2014, then watch the video below on making UserTracks with ProTools (or any DAW).
2. Download a template (pop or jazz) from http://www.pgmusic.com/usertracks1.htm
3. Record 1 minute of audio. Make it into a UserTracks folder following the instructions in the video or the web page http://www.pgmusic.com/usertracks1.htm
4. Upload the zip file with your UserTracks to the Contest forum at http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=78&page=1


- We've just made 3 videos on how to make a UserTrack in less than 10 minutes:


For many people posting in this forum, making UserTracks seems like a fairly daunting task, but if you check out these videos, you can see that it's actually quite easy to get a working UserTrack.

One thing you should note is that the video refers to zip files in <C:\bb\RealTracks\UserTracks\UserTracks Templates>. Those are not there yet, but will be put there in an upcoming patch update. For now, this zip file is located at http://www.pgmusic.com/usertracks1.htm

I'm looking forward to hearing some cool 10-minute UserTracks from all of you!
