The above doc is currently available on Amazon Prime and perhaps other platforms. It covers ways the streaming paradigm has affected big recording studios. Those interviewed express the gamut of opinions from bitterness to acceptance.

The doc will not please all and has its weaknesses but we found it well worth the watch.

It’s on Amazon Prime. I can't link to it if you aren't a user so this was just a heads up.

Bud was it you who posted a book about music publishing a few months back? I can describe it by the quote that said something like "If you say 'I want to sell a song' you are doing it wrong. I tried to find it in a search but the search here is so boolean and literal that if you use the word "and" in the string it finds every post with "and" in it.


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

I watched it. I wasn't that impressed.

Not everyone is ready for a recording studio. I am one of those people. Software gives the rest of us the chance at recording something.

With BIAB, RB and PreSonus Studio One I have the opportunity to grow without a huge budget hit. I place my videos/audios on YouTube, Twitter, Soundcloud, and Facebook. A couple of likes is fine with me.

On the other hand, for those of you who play fantastically you have a choice -- expensive time in a studio or mixing something with the DAW of your choice. Whatever your budget and desire will be.

To me the notion was not that everybody needed a recording studio. I saw it as a presentation of the perspective of studio engineers and producers who are trying to adapt to the new paradigm of so many musicians not needing/wanting a big studio. FWIW!!

I don't think the big recording studios are ready to go the way of the buggy whip companies when the automobile came along, just yet.... but the advent of home studios and low cost gear, and software that allows one to produce broadcast ready music has certainly moved the overton window a fair distance.

When you compare the quality of the big studios to what someone can now do in a corner of their bedroom.... it's certainly a game changer. Every band and songwriter used to have no other choice. But that has changed.

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."
