Very creative work here! Love what you did with the video! Great to see you perform! You must have spent a ton of time editing that film work. That mix sounds super to me! Alison's work on this really pulls this tune together...it's excellent! Top notch work!

Thanks Torrey, Grey mood, grey words, grey images. Alison's a modern wonder...and a New Mexico award winning arranger.

This is really great Ray. The cello, the metallic FX on your vocal, the black-and-white video. It all cumulates in a compelling (but eerie) experience.

Well, we loved the song already but this video was great.
The black and white vintage educational film with your face appearing and disappearing in the dark at just the right points gave us chills. The lonely, cold faraway look on the face of the star actress was perfect.
Again, Allison ‘s mournful cello tugs at your heart.
Ray...the song is Bowie-esque and very haunting,,,the cello is magnificent...great track...cool video and great ending...very nice production!

You are who you are because you do what you do because of what you believe.
Ray, Cool video for this beauty. Probably one of the best mixed tunes I have heard by you. Very professional. Alison is a wonderful player, adds a deep layer of drama to this. Liked it! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Rob, The cello is the backbone of the song. I had used an RT cello in the draft versions and it was nice but having a person listen and create with the instrument is always going to be something extra.

Add updated printing options, enhanced tracks settings, smoother use of MGU and SGU (BB files) within PowerTracks, and more with the latest PowerTracks Pro Audio 2024 update!
Download and install this to your RealBand 2024 for updated print options, streamlined loading and saving of .SGU & MGU (BB) files, and to add a number of program adjustments that address user-reported bugs and concerns.
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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
