Hi everybody. Just to share my latest two "albums" - i.e. two collections of songs I've written with Band-in-a-Box over the past year or so. Nine songs in all.

I've already posted each and every one of these songs already on here before, so I hope it's ok if I don't post the RealTracks used for each one this time - I'd be here until noon otherwise :-) But, if I absolutely must, please let me know.

Prayer is all about songs with a sacred theme.

Write About Love is a little wider in range - "love songs" about different kinds of love ... societal, romantic, wordless, divine and unconditional (agape).

You don't have to listen to them all (or indeed any, haha!), that goes without saying - besides, they've all been posted here as single tracks over the last year or so. It's really more of a "looking back" type "exercise" for me and hopefully a chance for whoever wants it to have these songs easily accessible to them, in two easy links. To me, it's also a little interesting to see how they fit together in "albums", but that's another matter, too. Hope you enjoy - that's the main aim here :-) ... and, as always, all feedback is very welcome.

THANKS for listening and THANK YOU to everyone at PGMusic ... without Band-in-a-Box, it's a certainty that I would not have written ANY of these songs. Thank you for creating a small miracle ... something which has given a bedroom songwriter a chance to have a musical voice and a top-quality medium through which to write. Finally (and I hope this is not starting to sound like a speech at the Oscars, haha), thanks EVERYONE for ALL your kind support and encouragement since I've been on this forum.

Haha - thanks Jim, but that's totally NOT the reason they're there. I fully expect to make not a single dime! but Bandcamp is, for me, the best place to put my songs on. Good website, nice, professional graphics and, best of all, I can upload lossless files on there for free, as much as I want to! SoundCloud charges after a certain point and Audiomack is full of adverts, so ... in short, I'm totally NOT doing it for the money, lol (what money? haha!). But thanks for the good wishes anyway - if, by any miracle, anything does get sold, it's not like I'd say no, of course ;-)

I have this bookmarked for later and couldn't listen to it all now - but Prayer and From The Cross are both really solid. Your vocal delivery is soaked in sincerity and emotion, and the backing tracks are the perfect vehicle for your spoken word-esque vocals.

Looking forward to hearing the rest - thanks for sharing smile

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."
