A tune I composed which lead to me starting playing again. I DO have to say thanks to the wonderful band in a box team and forum members for this. The support & encouragement I got was outstanding. Special thanks to Mac, & others who gave some good verbal kicks up the [*****] to get me going. I had to give up playing full time due to severe tendonitis and never touced the accordion for 20 years.
I downloaded a trial copy and I was hooked. At the time I was using a small midi keyboard my bought me to mess around on. She heard the melody and suggested I dig out my accordion and play it on that.
On this recording I'm only using midi as there's no real tracks that really work well for slow tunes such as this. I DID sue the super midi patch for a Celtic waltz and used a Rhodes piano on reason 3 which I also love using. The pads & choir are also from the reason 3 synth. The original band in a box tracks were strings & slow strings.

It's been recorded by a few folk over the last 10 years or so.

Thanks Deryk, I remember posting this tune years ago when I first joined the forum, in the days when biab was pure midi. LOL

What a beautiful song Graham. I loved this. So peaceful and relaxing. Beautiful countryside. I can see why you would want to retire there...

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!

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."
