Hello Troopies!

Here's my latest experiment using virtual instruments.

If you have a minute, give it a listen!

All the best,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Beautiful melody and a nice chord progression, but I honestly think you'll have to experiment a bit more before you have a coherent song here. So sorry to write that because I generally really like your work.

I just think that some of the transitions and timings in this track is a bit off at too many places, which disturbs the listening-experience.

Please don't hate me for saying that!

I believe we all only can get better if we are honest to each other and I would feel like being dishonest to you if I wrote that the track is perfect as it is.

I know you have a huge talent for composing so I just think you have posted this track a bit too early (like I have done myself too many times).

Will

Hey, good work, Dave.
I was intrigued by this Requiem at first listen, especially by how much you are squeezing out of Band in a Box. I don't know that I will ever get to venture into this territory. (Have my hands full with six strings.) Still, I admire your adventurous spirit. The graphic is priceless.

Hello Mr. Shaw:

Thanks for your listen and kind comments.

Like my cohort Will joseph said, too much, too soon! There are still a couple of bugs I have to workout, but I'm impressed with the overall concept. The bass and piano sync is a bit**! But the fun comes after I get everything to compliment each other!

No perfection here, that why I call them experiments!!!

Thanks again, I hope you are well...

All the best,
Dave

P.S. Later for Smoochie, I'm glad his tyrannical [*****] is dead!!! =D

Dave, I'll echo some of my friends here on the forum, and your own comments..there's more work to be done here.

I agree with you that getting from the 'head' version that sounds so great down into the 'real world' is often challenging, sometimes frustrating, and sometimes takes a heck of a lot more work than anticipated.

I've just thrown in the towel on something that I've spent alot of time on (actually influenced by your work with strings and orchestral ideas)...I just couldn't get it to come out right, and my 'innovative' ideas kept crashing my DAW...finally I decided to move on, come back to it later (maybe).

I look forward to your work because of your interest in using those symphonic ideas and components, and how you treat strings...but I think on this one, let us know if there are updates!

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."
