Thanks a bunch, Greg! I kinda like that track, too.It meanders quite a bit, so you have to calm it down at times. Again, many thanks. Best to you.

That solo guitar RT is a real gem (I think) that not many people have used. It does SO many different things, so you have to "work with it" a lot to get something this cohesive - but well worth the effort here... Super. The added effects sound great, too...

Really enjoyed this.

Hi Floyd,

Yeah that track meanders a lot, as I mentioned to Greg. Gotta rope it in once in a while. I tried not to overdo the effects. A bit of delay with short decay and just enough flange that it's barely noticeable in the phones. The version of that track I used was number 17 out of 22 variations.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know - much appreciated. Best to you.

Alan

Basically it is written by jazz chord progression, but the guitar is rock and the drum is very tight.
The added delay and flange to the guitar are very comfortable.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

All the best to both of you.

Hi Shigeki,

I always smile when I see you have dropped in to listen to one of my songs. Thank you very much for all that kindness. I spent more time on this one than I do on many of my songs. This one required three days from start to finish.

Wishing you the very best.

Alan

Hello Deej,

I am honored you chose to hear this one out. I appreciate that so much. And many thanks for the nice comments. It was actually a real track , rather than me playing the lead. Once upon a year I was pretty good. but I now have Focal Dystonia which is robbing me of my skills. No complaints, though - I had a 50+ year run of making music with some stellar musicians. It's all good! Wishing you well.

Alan

I ask all that because the tone is great.

Well done and enjoyable!

Hey!

Hope all is well with ya'll. We've been spending more time at the doctors' offices and at the hospital than at home the past couple of weeks. Two appts today, one tomorrow and one FridaY. That's a typical week for us in recent months - also, part of my scarcity on the forum recently.

Glad ya liked it - thanks! As far as the effects - some delay with a short decay and so little flange you can barely hear it - but just enough to make a difference. We used BIAB's indigenous plugins. They usually work pretty good for me. I bumped the upper EQ a small amount. The mild distortion is already in the track. I almost always bump the higher EQ just a little when I use the flanger - the individual notes aren't quite as muddled. I then do a mils compression.

Hope that answered your question. Many thanks for all the kindness and support you always throw our way. Best to you.

Alan

Guten Abend, Stefan,

Vielen Dank für jene freundlichen Anmerkungen. "Geschmackvoll" - so sehr nett von Ihnen, um zu sagen.

Your English is probably much better than my German. I lived in Germany for 12 years, but that was a long time ago (1070s and 1980s). I have forgotten so much of the language.

As I mentioned above, thank you so much for those very kind comments "Tasteful" - so nice of you to say.

Wishing you the very best,

Alan

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."
