Take01 21 8 2018 Hi all I made a video of just playing whatever comes for 9 minutes, reduced to 3 minutes. Band-in-a-box was later wrapped around the piano. The midi sounded pretty unremarkable... BIAB saved the performance. Sorry I didn't tidy up my room! _SLOBOSG.STY _CBOSBOL.STY M_BOLERO.STY _BOSASSA.STY M_PCWJ90.STY Take01 21 8 2018.midi Take01 21 8 2018.MGX

Cool jam. Nice listen and loved the assortment of real tracks Thanks Scott, at the 32 seconds mark of this song, my piano parts ways with BIAB... Not sure for a solution... I am still exploring Key modulation on the fly. I think my chord mapping is probably still missing a counterpoint component... Species counterpoint is a method used for centuries to teach students how to compose the sort of counterpoint found in the works of Palestrina. ... For each stage the student is asked to write a different species (or type) of contrapuntral line to go with a given melody in semibreves called the cantus firmus. I have tried to avoid this; I need to better prepare key change targeting for improvisation. It would have sounded better replacing my piano with a BIAB pano as the final piano track... no doubt! If I can write music progressions on the fly and BIAB can make it sound better! I am happy

I just played to a tic-toc, while recording it all to a midi file. Then opened the midi file with Band-in-a-Box 2018. The project is in my Tethered 2018 link below. I changed the style often, but I kept RealTracks as is, unedited... Thanks so much for listening

Hello, LPman
Very unique. The music style will change more and more, but it sounds comfortable. Very strange! I could not understand Tethered 2018 so well though I read them. It seems completely different from the music theory I learned. Nevertheless, Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

I normally don’t like to watch videos of people playing music… But I’m glad I stuck through it to get a better understanding of what you were trying to accomplish… I have to admit, I don’t understand the theory you were talking about in your comments, but it interested me to see that you were freeform playing and then attempting to flush out the composition based on what you had originally entered. I think that, based on your approach, the result was remarkable.
I certainly wish that I had a level of keyboard in theory skill that was evident in the video, I have to work much harder to come up with something that has value!
Thanks for helping expand my thinking regarding what can be done with music and with BIAB.

Shigeki Adachi Thanks Shigeki Adachi, I will have to eventually explain my music theory, but would like to make some normal songs, that satisfies a simpler memorable progression. Thanks for listening, and your support

Thanks for helping expand my thinking regarding what can be done with music and with BIAB. Thanks Tano Music, The freeform approach is my way of testing how diverse my key modulation really is... Now I have to prove to myself that I can write regular songs with good hooks.... I am glad this forum exists... I really appreciate your valued comments, and all those who took the time to watch and listen.

Some cool music there! It appears you are lying down? Is that how you chose your handle? No criticism here....I lie down every chance I get. I'm a swimmer and my wife teases me, saying I even exercise lying down. Some nice stuff! Take care. Greg

There maybe jokes\ questions in the future about private piano lessons... I think I am the only piano man who makes video's playing piano in bed. This way, I suffer no extra back pain problems. Thanks for listening, and sharing your comments.

This was interesting and entertaining! Thanks, Torrey Thanks so much Torrey... I read recently that music theory is a description, not a prescription. I made some updates towards making it lean towards a prescription... hoping things will continue to work out... thanks so much for your support

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."
