The original mix of this song was created purely with keyboard simulating the sound of various instruments. I like the arrangement but it sound so artificial.

I bought BIAB a month ago and tried improving the mix and I really love it, given that the instruments used are real!!!

Below is the link:
https://soundcloud.com/froilan-g-villegas/pain-remixed

Here are the details of the track:

Guitar 1: ~~543:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Dreamy Ev 120
Guitar 2: ~~522:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 120
String Quartet: 2335:String Quartet, Rhythm PopHall Ev 085

Vocal track was recorded using Acid Pro 7 and final mix was done using Garageband.

My inspiration in the song arrangement is Dan Fogelberg's song Longer and The Beatles' song Eleanor Rigby

I'm currently reworking on my other songs to use BIAB.

I hope you'll like it!

Froi,

A new first post. Nice song, beautiful melody. Very pleasant vocal.

Very nice mix. Everything blends well. Acoustic guitar, strings and vocal all in good balance. The strings work well.

Well done.

Welcome to the Showcase!

Froi,
Very well done in all respects - a warm and sincere song with a very pretty melody and your arrangement is just right.
An amazingly polished production for your first BiaB song-
looking forward to more.

Thank you for all your kind words and comments. BIAB has been a great help. It helps me expand my creativity. I've heard of this app before but never got interested until lately and I'm glad I did.

There are still a lot of things that I need to explore in BIAB but in time I'll get know how use its full potential.

I have posted another remixed song that I made but the vocal and guitar solo track recorded still need some fine tuning. I might still post this later to get some suggestions on how to improve it. But the BIAB real tracks that I used there really sound great.

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."
