Hi Deacon Just coming back on this because it works so very well as a concept - AND in practise.
Is there any way that this can be "pegged" or "pinned" or whatever it is called so that it doesn't disappear down the threads and out of sight? There will still be many who haven't seen or watched this, and I think it is an important tweak.
I am currently running through a few SGU's in my Too Hard File where the RT strings in particular were just horrid and I abandoned the project. This clever idea seems to smooth them out at the changes. I had to remember to set them ALL to "simple" when adding them to my Medley otherwise I got random "excitement" from one or another at different times.
I did find that when using the vocal ooohs or aaahs (2 male + 2 female) in a section, they didn't always give me the expected triad as harmony and often not the 7th either etc. e.g. C,Dm would still sound like an ensemble C through the Dm part and when C became C7, the ensemble still Ooh'd a straight C. Minor issues and I am sure that with more practise on my side, they will get even better.
So - Can this be "pinned"??
Cheers ian

Hey there sixchannel, I'm so glad you appreciated the video, and I can really tell you've grasped and utilized what I was going for there With respect to the pinning thing, I'm in no way associated or affiliated with PG Music, and that's something they would have to do, and what I gather, they only pin posts about product, updates, contests, and the like. Now as far as the chord tones bit, well I'm so glad you brought that up. It's actually a major drawback to my method--potentially ;-) As you correctly refer to in your post, chords necessitate chord degrees, which you're are not going to get with vocals and instruments that are monophonic. Since my method is basically stacking single tones, where all extensions, even the critical third, will not be reproduced by the monophonic "1 Track Sections", something is bound to be sacrificed because that one voice will never opt to follow the seventh degree, or even the third, because it's committal. However, there is a somewhat advanced theory-based workaround that I kind of outlined at the end of the video before I decided to cut it short, and maybe I'll post about later this evening if I have the time. :-) All the best, Deacon

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.

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."
