And who is it that says you can't do modern country with BiaB?
Nonsense. If you can imagine it, you can do it.
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.

Terry - congratulations!! on your #1. Super cool achievement.
You say that you use BIAB to do your demos... any chance you could post your demo for this song (if it was done using BIAB - I get that that might not be the case)? I think that would be cool to hear... (in the Showcase?)
Did you (forum) guys find more than just a 40 second snippet of this song? Where?
(this is not "showing off" BIAB tracks - for those who are "confused")

Thanks Callie! This is so cool to be able to hear!
I honestly feel that, with some proper mixing, and a little more time, the demo music wouldn't be all that far from the final.
The end vocals are what make these songs sound pro!

Thanks Callie, great to hear the evolution from demo to mastered final. I've read many post here on the forums from folks mastering their songs, but this simple a / b comparison gives me a great appreciation what mastering is and what it can do. There's much more to it than I originally thought. It really makes the song "pop"!

Yes. Great to hear the comparison. It is similar in transition to several songs that forum members have done with several of my compositions. Josie (Sundance)and Pat Marr took "From You to Me" adding new dimension by changing the lead vocal from male to female, added backing vocals and a few special effects plus Pat's live overdub creating a difference as obvious as night to day.
Tom Adams took my demo of "Looking From Where I'm At" and the changes he made were more of adding better quality than changes to the demo. He closely followed the demo in instrumentation and lyrics, he played live guitar, added better quality vocals and harmonies and did his usual masterful mix/master creating a radio ready product.
The most dramatic change between my demo and finished 'demo' created from BIAB was by Herb Hartley (Guitarhacker). He cleaned up the lyrics, created a remarkable mix from scratch, added live guitar and singlehandedly created a professional record from what was originally a boom-chink rhythm guitar/vocal unrecognizable between the original and finished product. Impressive work. He heard the changes I did to the demo of a song a personal friend had asked me to work with him on, I posted my demo here on the forum (with permission of the songwriter) and Herb jumped on board to help. Unfortunately, my friend got seriously ill at that time and the song became a solo project for Herb.
Regarding Terry's demo, it is easily recognizable BIAB backing track and appears to me he chose a style, entered chords, put the backing tracks in his DAW and added the vocals. Production is similar to many User Showcase quality. At 0.48 - the jump in volume of the vocals lead me to think he did an punch in at that point. "Here it is with no hesitation" comes in louder than the preceding vocal phrase and drops back to the original level following the phrase.
I find this thread to be insightful, inspirational and encouragement there is hope that it's not only possible but that someone has actually garnered a #1 using BIAB as a tool to accomplish the feat. I have always speculated there are more instances than we imagine of hit songs that have reached their destination on the charts with BIAB tracks both as an inspirational tool and as an actual track in the song.....

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."
