I would like to request for styles with a Middle Eastern, Indian and Far Eastern flavour to them so that western worship songs can be given these flavours to make those in the Churches from these backgrounds feel more at home.

+1 to support the idea but ...

Does PG Music offer any Middle Eastern, Indian or Far Eastern RealTrack instruments? Perhaps some audio drum loops or RealDrums but that's all I can think of and I'm not sure about that. Also, some Eastern instruments are microtonal and are constrained by the Western model of twelve notes per octave.

For these reasons some arranger keyboards offer Eastern and Western model variations where the Eastern model includes Eastern and Indian instruments, microtonal capability and include Eastern styles.

I believe PG Music must offer Eastern instrument RealTracks at the same time, or prior to, offering Middle Eastern, Indian or Far Eastern Styles.

Nice suggestion! smile I'd personally love to see this too. I'll go ahead and add it to the wishlist - if you don't mind, it would be very helpful if you sent in to sales@pgmusic.com some youtube examples of exactly what you mean by those genres and styles so we know what people are looking for. We can then add those links into wishlist reports for the developers to review so they know what to draw inspiration from.

Thanks!


Cheers,
Ember

I can't speak for Will E, but it just so happens I have been wrapped up in Myanmar (Burma) worship music for some time now. It started about 4-5 years ago with Myanmar choir music going viral on You Tube. My guess is that it was a little too upbeat for the authorities. Whatever, the videos were taken down. Now, they are back in a different form, the members now adults. In the meanwhile, there has been another military junta, basically not unusual in Burma.
This request might not be as hard to fill as we might think. What they are doing appears to be a fusion of 1950's country music with contemporary Praise & Worship.
Search You Tube for "EBC Central Choir," "The Seraphim Choir," and "The Myanmar Choir."
Another fruitful genre is the solo vocalists. Somewhere in between is Akuk. She is popular with locals and visitors and could be called "the old hand" at it.

Several of them make the international gospel circuit and may be seen in San Francisco.

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."
