Well,

My Following the Science Album is finally out on all major retailers after re-mixing each song about a hundred times. But is is getting on some cool playlists I hear and the feedback has been good.

I am posting this to say thanks to the forum because every one of these songs received extensive feedback and suggestions from this forum and it would not be where it is without your help and feedback.

Also, on one of the playlists I have been on, I cannot tell much of a production difference between these tunes and the ones coming out of million dollars studios. (For better or worse, mind you. cool )

Put the point is, I am not using PG tools as a gimmick or "last resort": I am using them as full on production tools, and I am very happy with this. I think it is the best thing I have done.

Congratulations on the album David!

Looks interesting, and I like the artwork.

I noticed you have one song called "Standing Like Bono". Sounds cool! How did you manage to get that Edge sound in the beginning? Is it you on guitar or is this a new RT (we are using an older BIAB version)?

Thanks Rob and Anne-Marie!

smile

I am playing some guitar on this song. But it has been so long ago (1 year = 10 years to me) I can't remember which tracks. There is a style I used called "Dublin" style which has some very U2 sounding stuff. Check it out.

I also can do a pretty close U2 imitation but it is not that hard to do if you know the effects.

smile

P.S. The purpose and theme of this album was to give a nod to some of my biggest influences, and favorite artists and sounds. For example, the first song is an ode to Bowie, and there is even an ode to Dave Matthews in there on the list. That song was an ode to U2.

This! It's still you who has to make the song, but BIAB is a BIG time saver. And the drummer is always on time and doesn't smell grin

Congrats, Dude!

Love the cover.

Just listened to the whole thing.
Good balance from song to song.

A truly interesting album.

I'll be watching the Billboard charts smile

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."
