Hi there folks,

I was prompted to record and publish this quick video in honor of the exquisite new gospel vocal RTs released with BiaB 2019.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUBNZvNAjzk&feature=youtu.be


Hope this is of use to some of y'all.

Best wishes,

Deacon

Great little trick, Deacon!
I've been avoiding using strings because of those really bad transitions between chords, but this video gave me some hope for future productions.

Thanks a lot for doing this!

I want to thank everyone that I have not responded to individually for all the kind feedback!

P.S. I live in Israel, which is 7 hours (or more ahead) of many of you folks, so sometimes I'm asleep or spending the evening with my wife or kids when a lot of you guys are active here on the forums...

Fantastically useful and cool technique which I can see really opening some new doors for me and the software. And really well explained and demonstarted. You would be a great BIAB tutor.

Thanks Lingyia,

I'm glad this has been enjoyed and appreciated.

Stay tuned, because I get the sense that the next "hack" video (that I hope to post by the end of this weekend) will really blow a lot of folks away!

after trying this technique, I ran into a problem when I tried saving the generated Medley track as a Wav file to use in my Cakewalk DAW... BiaB only wanted to save it as a "type W" file..?
Where can I find more info on using the Medley feature in the Realtracks picker page?

Hi bloc-head,

Did you try saving the file to WAV via the drop-station as demonstrated here?

So to clarify; my video specifically addresses "section-based" RTs that are comprised of of several (for the most part) monophonic instruments (e.g. horns, string instruments) when working in tandem. As for other RTs, the quality definitely varies in that respect.

For curiosity's sake, I'm interested in knowing what specific RTs you are having issues with, and what progressions you are playing them over (if you don't mind sharing this info).

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."
