Or you could skip one visit to Panera for a cup of soup and half a sandwich and finance a new album release.

Beat,
4.99 a month pro subscription to get enough monthly credits to really do anything.
I said I would give it year or so. It's a cup of coffee. But I won't do that forever if it seems their model is the 4.99, the postings are bait, and only an algorithm is "listening."
That's one expensive cup of coffee lol Been to Starbucks lately?  Nope. I only do Starbucks maybe once or twice a year. Mostly I do gas station coffee or make my own.

Samuel,
Have you ever tried pouring gas station peanuts into a bottle of coke and hitting the road?
It makes a good lunch man when you're heading off to a gig at a bar with chicken wire.

Hahaha...I grew up doing that. My aunt ran a little country store on a dirt road and I'd walk to it, watch the old men sitting on the benches in bib overalls whittlin' and then go in and pour those nuts in a cold 6oz bottled coke....gotta shake it up too. I nearly finished a song about that store so thanks for the reminder - I need to wrap it up. Bud

Can't say I have. This it the first I've heard of it. I do love me some Cajun style boiled peanuts though.

David, you shouldn't need the excuse of a gig at a bar with chicken wire to enjoy a Coke with peanuts. That's a good lunch anytime. I agree with with Bud that the Coke has to be the small, 6 1/2 ounce bottle. Lance salted peanuts are the best for this combo.

Jim, that is some good thinking.
When I get to Winston-Salem we'll have to sit in front of the store and have a couple of those!!

Mostly from iTunes and Spotify and some from Mood Media licenses. I should’ve clarified that. Phone typing. We’ve made it to a music supervisor 33 times. 22 of those were through deals. Hometown Refugee now resides with a supervisor - not expecting any more than the other 10 that died at that point. One thing that does seem significant is that we have three songs on three different roots genre playlists. Each playlist has only around a dozen songs. We didn’t submit them any way - they were just picked up with no notification from ST. I just found them looking through their featured genres. At least somebody there seems to like what we’re doing. $5 a month - we’ll play. But I have zero plans to produce any songs specifically for a placement. We do it for fun, post it here and then upload to ST. And it is very infrequently that they ask for any music that even remotely resembles our stuff.
OK back to the Hurricane Michael count down.

Yeah, I have had 2 make it to music supervisor, end of the road. It doesn't seem promising in the long run. I am not into the younger scene, and probably will not make any money at this. CLiff

Steve and Bob, That is pretty funny--really--and you both are probably more than 100% right in whatever direction you are coming from. There is a lot of delusion out there in the Starmaker Universe. HOWEVER: As for myself, I long ago decided that I am only doing this for fun, and as a great hobby. I have NO preconceptions (or delusions) that anything is going to happen with ANYTHING I do in this market beyond having some fun and getting some streams. Still, ya never know. Someone here might get lucky, so I do not want to be discouraging to anyone. I don't think discouraging people, or yourself even, is healthy. Yes, I do believe that about 99.999999 percent of what is going on in today's world is a business model based on hype and delusion, really. It cuts across all industries. Apple has built a fortune on it--but that's another tale. But that's not going to stop me, personally, from having fun. So yeah, I have been shown to a lot of music supervisors and have not made a dime. Haven't given that a second thought. I have about a gazillion more songs to write for fun. I just like to play them back for myself. I have to get my good music from somewhere, don't I?

So, I take that as a "no" from you?

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!

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."
