Really simple chord but a ‘redic’ name request to be added to BIAB request #598654 05/23/20 03:40 AM Band-in-a-Box Wishlist

I’m putting a Spanish flavour tune together and want that Esus4, E sound. The chord has a really over complicated name, and I can’t get biab to recognise it. It’s an Esus4(b6B9) which is just an E major played a fret higher up the neck. Any assistance from your team and the forum in this would be much appreciated. Best regards Mark

If you have a MIDI keyboard, try Windows menu, MIDI Chord Detection. Play the notes and see what the program suggests. I don’t play guitar so I have no clue, but I always imagined that if you shift all the fingers of an E chord up one fret, you get an F chord. So you must not be fretting all six strings?

Yeah it’s just an open E maj on guitar moved up one fret but you don’t barre, so the rest of the strings are open. An Esus is close, biab doesn’t allow me to enter Esus4 so I will have to work around it for now. Cheers!

I last played an E chord from Mel Bay in 1960. Now, about the Esus4. BIAB has a few conventions when entering chords. Esus is Esus4. BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile.

This one is matched to the sound of one of the RealTrack guitars so you can use F5 to mute the RealTrack then play your own midi or a modified RealChart midi. https://www.dropbox.com/s/6krkobu3yb65wsr/RealTrack-ShinyGuitar.mp4?dl=0 https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=415151#Post415151 Biab Track Injector for Reaper Free Biab Chord Picker Tool

Workings out: EMaj Notes G# E B Up one fret goes to: A F C and open E It would look like: 1E open 2B open 3G 2nd fret = A 4D 3rd fret = F 5A 3rd fret = C 6E open Thanks for the nod to the F!! :-) I’ve found a RTrack Spanish style too which I might lift some strings from, only the 1 style in there so I will search to see any of the extra paks have any Spanish real tracks Mel Bay - get in there!! Cheers!

I think you are spelling, from root up: E C F A B E So that would be Fmaj7(#11)/E or FMaj7(b5)/E depending on which register the B falls. BIAB won't take FMaj7(#11) - it will accept Fmaj9(#11) if you can live with a G. But it will accept FMaj7(b5)/E and I'm pretty sure that's the Malaguena-type sound you want. And I'm going to leave Mel Bay right where I left him 60 years ago. BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home.

Piano can play it, but bass can not. Not even in the MIDI styles. This thread has a lot of information about that https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=77508&Number=599931#Post599931 And this youtube video can help https://youtu.be/dNdrtjwdlik Band in a box is very limited in the harmony department, sadly. Fmaj9#11/E is the harmonically right thing to write. But personally, I’d go for F/E. it will be easier to read and will help you get a grasp on slash chords. You will see the F/E chord often in the New Real Books for instance, it’s common in jazz since Miles’ wonderful Sketches of Spain. Check Mark Levine’s books for advice on slash chords. Biab, Kontakt, Sampletank and lots of nice libraries, from Fluffy audio to Abbey Road drums. Check out these great contemporary Jazz Styles: www.jazzstylezz.com

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."
