I have a new release called "A Better Me".

It is (roughly) 95% Band-In-A-Box RealTracks.

IF you have a subscription to any of the major streaming services, you should be able to find it (search for "floyd jane").

It was put together to have the flow and feel of an album - like the records that we grew up listening to... it is not just a "bunch of songs thrown together".
I would label it "Americana-Singer-Songwriter". Some might disagree (but, of course you would have to actually listen to the whole thing to do that) smile

Several songs feature fellow PG forumites Janice Merritt and Tom Adams

You can find it on
Apple Music
Spotify
Pandora
Amazon Music Unlimited
and others...
(without a subscription, you can only hear snippets.
NOT the way to assess a record)


If you do not have a music subscription (and why IS that??) you can hear it on my web site


If you find the orange cover album, that is an old release BEFORE I was using BIAB...the new one is better (because it is all RealTracks!!).
It looks like this:

Thanks for posting the link. I don't pay for any streaming services or subscribe to any. I do have an Alexa so I'll see if the album's available on it. Sometimes there's a free trial version or otherwise limited version, so I'll try that. If not, off to your web site. I'm looking forward to hearing it.

Congrats, floyd!

I'm listening now over on Spotify. Also added you to the artists I follow over there and "liked" your album, for what that's worth wink

Sounds great, nice collection of songs.

Now I'll go and have a listen...

Thanks to everyone who took the time to listen to any of the album.

And I appreciate the mention of the cover art...it is one of my paintings, so nice to have that noted as well...

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."
