Every year this halftime show gets worse and worse. I really miss "musicians".


I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.

1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.

My 25 year old son tells me Weeknd is actually very good and knew all the songs he was singing. He is a R/B Soul singer so not exactly suitable for a studium show. On top of that the show was held in the stands and not on stage on the field. But more likely the issue was the sound system. Half time shows have a very bad reputation for pulling off the sound. Me - I could not hear a thing. My family does not allow me to turn up the TV that loud.

I thought it was fine, a very curious choice for the halftime show though. I can't say I'd imagine the fanbase of football and The Weeknd really matching. My dad hated it, but I personally thought it was so-so. Didn't really captivate me or anything, but I didn't think it was awful.

All prerecorded, Dan. They used to record the music and the performer would sing, but even that went away about 8 years ago. I think Red Hot Chili Peppers was the last band that sang live over prerecorded music. They showed some closeups and people took still frame captures of Flea playing his bass with the output jack on his bass completely empty. In this case I don't even know what Weeknd or Dwntown or whatever his deliberately misspelled name is does, nor did I care much to find out.

I think the last halftime show I watched was Bruno Mars.

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.

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."
