And to Herb, sorry, this thread seems to have gotten pretty badly hijacked. Apologies... What can I say?
That's OK.... I'm setting here reading the posts and eating popcorn.... It's amazing the people who get so "out there" when you mention "rules" and "songwriting" in the same general context. You can always find exceptions to the "rules" but they are not the norm. Do you think there's not rules of the road for writing songs? There certainly are rules if you're trying to get songs cut and released and get them past the secretary at the front desk. If you're writing for yourself and you don't care about getting artist cuts or hits or used in any commercial way.... hey, who am I to tell you to follow the rules?
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.

a couple things guys. First I have a hard time believing anyone writes music and doesn't care what anyone else thinks of it. Second I caution people who write as a form of therapy to try and think of your finished product through the ears of someone else. Most people share similar experiences happiness sorrow etcetera but if you get too specific or start rambling about any particular chick that broke your heart it can get tedious. Don't be afraid to change a verse if it makes it sound cooler even if it doesn't exactly follow the course of your break up. 10 verses about how bad she sucks will bore anybody. tighten it up kids.

Talking about “my nagging old lady” is probably not going to get you a cut.
Except in the Blues genre...

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.

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."
