I have occasion to RECORD WHAT I HEAR and save it as an mp3. I had been using an app that has since been loaded with malware and I am afraid to try it again.

Don, what app are you using now, and what kind of computer (Mac, Windows, what OS, surface, laptop etc.)?

I use my very old copy of Adobe Audition for this purpose, but I don't think this is available anymore. Do you have a DAW? It's really just a question of selecting the input device.

Hey good buddy, I use the free Audacity for that purpose. If you let us know what you want to record we can help you further.

There is also the possibility that your sound card driver might offer a "loopback" device, which routes the outgoing audio to a virtual input. You would then see that as an option in any audio recording software you might have, likely labeled "Stereo Mix" or something similar.

The quick and dirty option is to plug the output of your soundcard to the input, then record. It's certainly low-tech, but might get the job done quicker than installing another program!

If you try this be sure that your speaker and/or headphone volumes are very low. If you get a feedback loop it will be a squeal and if your volume(s) are high you could cause damage to your speaker or more important to your ears.

Also important; what device (audio interface/driver) is being used?
It may make a difference in how to approach this.

I use Studio One and my PreSonus interface using the virtual inputs that are available from the control panel for the interface.

That's true, I didn't think of it at the time. In the recording program, you would want to mute it's output so it's not trying to play sound while it's recording.

RealBand will only record what the computer is currently playing if there's a loopback or Stereo Mix option in the sound card driver.

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!

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."
