Kinda like "real" RealTracks I guess. Anyone ever use any of these guys? https://www.fiverr.com/categories/music-audio/session-musicians?source=category_tree Jeff Win11, Intel i7 7700K 4.2Ghz, 32Gb RAM, 2x1Tb HD, 500Gb NVMe, BIAB/RB 2024, MOTU 828MK3 audio, MOTU Midi Express, Yamaha Montage 7, DX7II, TX802, Motif XS Rack, Roland Fantom XR Rack, Oberheim Matrix 1000, VoiceLive3 Extreme, Kontakt 6, SampleTank 4.3

Reminds me more and more why I should not post any of my own music on the internet!! There are so many talented folks out there.

I could never be that good!

Given the weakness of my vocal "demo", I'd give high marks to both singers. One, in particular, wailed. A combo of vocal demo and sheet music (even if simplified) would probably have worked better. The sax player was asked to "interpret" the melody, but play certain phrases as demoed in the vocal melody. In addition, I gave him free reign to play what he liked. He did not disappoint. Still, he may have come closer to my "vision" if he had had charts to play with. Ultimately it depends on what you ask them to do. Turnarounds were fairly quick and communication decent. I've also used a guy to run midi through his more extensive and expensive libraries. He charged so little, I practically doubled it with tips. It was well worth it to keep from having to buy sounds and re-learn midi. I'll likely use him again. https://soundcloud.com/user-47797156/cloudy-day --Singer from Houston, sax player from Spain. https://soundcloud.com/user-47797156/cloudy-day-reprise --Singer from Nigeria, same sax player, but different take. He sent me much more than advertised. I'd be happy to provide a link to any of these guys. BIAB 2021 Audiophile. Windows 10 64bit. Songwriter, lyricist, composer(?) loving all styles.

It has very much to do with good and clear communication. The better you are in describing what you want, the better results you will get. Remember to read the comments to each artist before choosing though - such a site can attract scammers too. Will

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."
