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.

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

Best wishes,

Deacon

Thanks Tony,

Discovering these little nuggets keeps me addicted to this sometimes frustrating, but ultimately magical, program! :-)

Thanks for this, Deacon.

Very clever mod of the functions in BIAB.

What about also using volume automation, and compression to give a similar amount of control?

You could have a base 'Mmmm' track (or any other track) as a kind of template, import it to multiple tracks in your DAW, and slightly vary the volume automation, compression and do some other types of manipulation to achieve other effects (e.g., slightly de-tuning some of the copied and making other copied tracks of the same part slightly higher, would contribute to an impression of greater 'width').

Hi Drutgat,

As I mentioned in the reply to your YT comment, these are all amazing tips, of course, but decidedly out of scope of the particular issue(s) I address here (namely the choppiness issue with "section-based"/ensemble RTs).

Thanks Deacon,
Yeah, saw and replied to your YT response.

I should have said in my message that I was just really posting to give others ideas of other tips that they could use in addition to your brilliant one here.

Looking forward to your next video.

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."
