For those who create songs with BIAB, but for some reason don't sing by themselves, the following may be useful: Rob has created several free Vocal Packs in the past, mainly for use in DAWs. However they may also be useful in your Band in a Box arrangements. The samples are completely royalty-free (free as in 'free beer'). You can also use them for your commercial music projects. You can download the packs from the Vocalpack section on his website (you can also watch some preview videos): Rob's Musical Homepage If you use them, we are very curious to hear the results (however you're not obliged to). Have fun with the samples! Regards, R & AM

I can't comment on this product, but when I downloaded the first sample Vocalpack files from the link above, the Winzip feature included with it hijacked my browser - requiring me to jump through all the required hoops to get back to a prior Windows restore point.
This happened even though I declined the offer to make their sponsored link my homepage.
just an old analog dog tryin' to learn new tricks...

I haven't had that problem yet, you should only click on the green download button (ignore the rest of the page). All sample packs are in rar/zip format. Save the file on your computer and extract it with winrar. However, here is a direct link from dropbox: direct link The download links of the other two vocal packs are all dropbox links, so they shouldn't cause any problems. Simply click the blue download button and save the file to your computer. regards, R & AM

Can you describe in more detail exactly what the "Vocal Packs" are?
In Kontakt for example....I have choir vocal samples ....oooohs and ahhs, and vowels in both male and female. You can hear them in use in my song called Give Me A Chance on my music page.... they are in the part where the little girl is singing the chorus near the end.
Just being curious here about what you have and are offering.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Hello Guitarhacker, The sample pack consists of mashed up singing lines of some of our previous compositions. Others are improvised purely for the vocal packs. That means that all samples contain lyrics. Quite some people find this inspiring and used them for their own compositions. Here is a good example: Words you say by Le Sixieme Jour Using the samples in your songs is a question of trial and error, some may be very functional in one specific arrangement, others may not work. Before downloading you can watch the previews Vocal Pack 3 Vocal Pack 2 Vocal Pack 1 Hope this clears things up, Regards, Rob

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."
