Charlie, you have proven that with BiaB and a little imagination you can produce every music genre out there.

Of course you need the knowledge to proceed. You are light-years ahead of me when it comes to the inner workings of BiaB.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Wonderful track but (obviously) too short.

This thread has been eye-opening and interesting for me. I need to check out what that Holy Grail is... sorry, I of course mean RT1152... smile

Great work, Charlie!

Thanks for the kind remarks Mario and also for listening and commenting.

Lol, the thread's more productive than my musical piece. It was long enough to demonstrate my point. Any thing more than that would have been bragging, don't you think? wink

I found an old thread that Andrew-PG Music participated in and gave his thoughts, insight and some programming tips on the mysterious RT1152. I'm thinking to put a Tips and Tricks post together sometime soon. I appreciate your comment and taking time to review this musical piece.

As always (big fan of 1152 here!) I would appreciate that. The metaphysical underpinnings are fun for me but tips would be great.

Hey Charlie, I've listened to this multiple times over several days and really like what you've done. I don't think it's that far off from what some of the BIG studios are doing, and you did this at home with a single tool! Great job!

Btw, one thing that seems to throw me is how people seem to think if it's a sound that's not in BIAB that you just can't make a song. With the number of people that do a BIAB song and add their own guitar should really be an example that we can bring these elements from various programs and samples together. I feel at that point what BIAB can do becomes that much more powerful for people in developing their songs.

Not to mention, it seems as though many are looking exclusively at RT's. There are TONS of useful pieces of MIDI that BIAB can generate. Pair that with more of the modern (which happen to be throw back sounds) and those "dated" style sets sounds current.

Then you come along and say "Here. It can be done with RT's. It's not theory, give it a listen."

I like pop music a lot. It's very adventurous right now. I would say I am pretty decent at writing it. I'm pretty decent at producing it...I just can't mix to save my life! Maybe I will give it a whirl and just accept that it won't be mixed well. eek I struggle a lot with that concept.

Anyway, I really appreciate that you posted it. I'm not saying I don't like the other stuff that's put out on the showcase. I very much do. This was just refreshing to hear!

Thank you SO VERY MUCH for this post!

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."
