If you don't know what the Mersey beat is...listen to the Beatle song, From Me To You... Cheers

But be aware that it can vary quite a bit, but for ‘From Me to You’ (and ‘Dr Robert’) Ringo uses the following drum pattern in one bar that is repeated with some additional fills: Eight taps on the cymbal A hit of the snare on the first tap and seventh tap And a hit on the bass drum on the first tap; a half time hit on the fourth tap and a full time hit on the fifth tap. The best way to implement this is to use a Sequencer/DAW (e.g. Sonar, Reaper or Real Band) using for example EZ Drummer or equivalent to program the drum pattern and transfer as required other sound tracks based on the chords generated by BIAB. If you need to get the detail drum patterns get the entire music scores: The BEATLES Complete Scores by Hal Leonard Corp. ISBN 0-7935-1832-6 1993. It has musical notation parts for all instruments used in all their songs. (Tip: If you get into the Beatles style as I have, getting hold of the EW ‘Fab Four’ sound library is a good move as it contains many of the exact original instrument sounds used by them.)

There are free midi files and others that can be purchased however the purchased ones are generally better. Once you have the MIDI file just use the drum track. You can use it as the MIDI file or convert it to a wav. Good luck. I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................" 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

After its finished a version with some guitar chords generated by BIAB. Not the best backing but you get the idea. https://soundcloud.com/user672529678/mersey-beat-drums-only If it does not play immediately when you get to the site click # Mersey Beat Drums and then click the red circled arrow. If the second version doesn’t play you can hear it at: https://soundcloud.com/user672529678/mersey-beat-drums-and-guitars

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."
