I would love a large range of Resonator Blues Styles - in every possible 'feel' and style, slow mid-tempo and faster styles!!!! This could make up a separate "Resonator Blues Style PAK"!

Should have broad appeal to BB users!

Hi,

And welcome to probably the least frequented forum on the PG Music website.

I think your suggestion definitely has merit however please don't be disappointed if you get very few responses. This is because BIAB users who visit this forum almost never add their support, ideas or thoughts to the posts on this forum.

Worse still the staff at PG Music completely ignore it when they produce new Real Tracks.

There probably is a way to influence the staff at PG Music but after 5 years of regular contributions to this and other forums I have given up.

Best Regards
Nigel

Hi Nigel - thanks a lot for your response!!

Yes I was kinda hopeful my post might trigger a PGM response too - BB already contains some excellent resonator styles which I have used in the past, I was really just hoping for an expansion of these to include many more inspirational styles with a 'blues feel'!

Well here's hoping - I don't think there's any shortage of interest in blues influenced material??

Cheers, Carl

Hi Carl,

If you are just after new styles - there are virtually limitless possibilities by simply adding your favourite BIAB Resonator Real Tracks to the thousands of BIAB Styles available.

I almost never use a BIAB created Style as is - I always replace at least some of the Real Track Instruments & Real Drums and add new ones.

What I was talking about in my last email was completely new Real Tracks and new Real Drums - i.e. in your case new musicians (or existing musicians) playing new Resonator phrases.

Best Regards
Nigel

Thanks a lot Nigel for your suggestion to add Resonator Real Tracks to virtually any BB style - something I haven't experimented with, will definitely try that.

I mostly use the BB styles as they are (with my own chord structures) but remove what I don't want or don't like - such as ac/el guitar chords or piano/rhodes chords or lead parts, then I replace them with my own in Logic Pro X. Adding Resonator Real Tracks should prove really useful - thanks again Nigel!!

Cheers, best regards - Carl

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."
