How about a tamborine that could go with a side-stick or snare for country and pop tunes....I have to add a real one to get the sound I want... it would be nice to include in the next Real Drums edition

Hi Deacon,
I often end up adding a tambourine or some other percussion instrument to my BIAB tracks after I have exported them to my DAW (Cubase), in order to give the choruses a bit of a lift and to change the feel from the verses. I usually use one of the many percussion loops within Stylus RMX for this.

Although I am not a percussionist I have grown to appreciate, (from auditioning the RMX loops), the very many different rhythmic tambourine playing styles that are possible and that some will fit a particular song much better than others. I therefore think that for BIAB to support tambourines (and/or any other percussion intsruments), it would need to provide a reasonably large number of different realtracks with different rhythmic patterns (or perhaps one realtrack with a large number of 'variations').

I think that the other problem is that I would be loathe to give up one of my BIAB instrument tracks, (I usually need them all for other instruments), in order to get a percussion track. This would not be a problem in Realband (which I don't yet use) but it would definitely be an issue for me in BIAB. Another two or three instrument slots within BIAB itself would be great!

I do, however, think that the idea of 'Real Percussionists' within BIAB is great!

Regards, Aubrey

Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

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."
