Several folks have asked why we haven't posted any new songs with Di singing or why she has sung harmony with me on some of my vocals. She has a serious respiratory condition and may not be able to sing for quite a while. It's depressing to her ... and leaves you folks having to listen to me or a bunch of instruments for a while. That alone should give you good reason to hope she's back sooner rather than later ...HA!

Also, have a question for you folks. We have a number of songs with backgrounds tracks created on software other than BIAB. But we added some BAIB strings to some of them ... nothing else, just strings. Does that make them acceptable to post here, or is that to minimal of an association with BIAB? Don't want to break the rules. Thanks in advance.

Best to everyone. Oh, also, today is our first anniversary!!!!! We got married a year ago today ... now the neighbors have nothing to talk about!

Al - Di says hello!

Hi Al and Di
Congrats on your first year and I hope you have many more. I do hope Di's health situation improves. I think it is fine to post a song with just one BIAB track. If I recall others have done so in the past.

One year...congrats... you're still on your honeymoon....

As far as posting ...yep, if the song has but one track in it that was BB/RB I think it easily qualifies. I'd even say if it only had a clip such as a sax or steel guitar solo that BB/RB created..... the point of this forum is to show how you use BB/RB in your music.

Yeah - absolutely fine, Al.
There are Posters on here who dont even use BIAB/RB at all and get away with it.
Always look forward to your Posts (even though I dont comment on many - the more clued-up guys than I say it all so much better)and I guess you are getting stuck into that Axe and learning your chops for some geetar based stuff?
Hope so anyway.
cheers

ps -Al - Passed by USAAF Burtonwood on Friday. Nowadays, from the Motorway (M62)you wouldnt know it was ever there but some of the building on the north side are still in use - as farm storage etc, I guess.

Hi Ian,

Thanks! Actually, I'm tied up with some legal issues that have me driving 475 miles each way a couple times a month. Also, I have a new novel out on Amazon (I also write books as well as music) and I had a deadline to meet for that publication. So, between those two issues, not had much time for music. Looking forward to getting back on a regular basis.

Kind of sad about Burtonwood. I have a few nice memories from there! Best to you my friend.

Al

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."
