But the interest I pay on your love that I get, Makes me only want to get deeper in debt. Chorus: My prime interest is you. My prime interest is you. Our love is safe, locked away, and my prime interest is you. Verse: May never be a millionaire, think I’ll stop trying. In your love I own a million shares, and I’m still buying. And if success in life is based on the things that I hold, Then having you here girl, is wealth untold. Chorus: My prime interest is you. My prime interest is you. Our love is safe, locked away, and my prime interest is you Bridge: The other accounts were closed so long ago. And just for the record girl, I want you to know… Chorus: My prime interest is you. My prime interest is you. Our love is safe, locked away, and my prime interest is you

OP BIGALTX Enthusiast Joined: Aug 2018 Posts: 18	WOW... Deryk... Thanks so much! I asked a relative of mine (an amazing musician, who has done studio work) about the quality of the Real Tracks. He said they were as good or better than I could get if I hired musicians and studio time in a local studio (a well known and respected studio). He just confirmed what I thought. The Real Tracks (in my opinion) could be used on ANYONE'S project. They are THAT good. Most folks have no problem using drum tracks like EZ Drummer, etc, but would balk at using "canned" guitar, bass, etc tracks. NOT ME. Anyway, thanks for the "ready for radio" comment. alan PS... I know others are requesting it, but please consider splitting the drums into at least 4 tracks. Kick, snare, and stereo overheads. To me... that's the only thing lacking in BIAB!

OP BIGALTX Enthusiast Joined: Aug 2018 Posts: 18	Thanks so much, Joe! And thanks for helping to bring Band In A Box to hack musicians (like me). I play bass, rhythm guitar, and keys, but I could never play like these "Real Track Musicians". Not in a million years. I hope to have some BIAB "testimonial" and "how-to" videos soon. I've been using BIAB since at least 2004, maybe earlier. More songs coming soon... alan

Nicely done! -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

It has just enough of that country 'twang' without being overbearing. Very tastefully done. Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Ember

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."
