I believe we need in-depth video tutorial on Microchords, with several real world examples / different case uses & genres.

Thank you for considering.

P.S. There is this video:
https://youtu.be/GaF7kqZu-II?si=jS7GVl8uYUDQKFgn

It mainly deals with a single genre / style. The request is for something similar that shows in depth use of motifs, rests, etc.

One thing's for sure. The drums don't follow the motifs using a swing style in midi.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

I agree 100% on this one. I just did a search on YouTube and could only find the video by PGMusic. It is just a quick overview and does not go into the depths of this feature. I am surprised that there is only one that I could find in the quick 10 minute search.

Me too. The more the merrier.

In addition to the obvious, this new (and great) feature seems to be just scratching the surface of what might be possible in using similar technology to create solos from real instruments.

When I first saw this the first thing I did was to play a scale of three or maybe four octaves the same way you would record a user track of chords or comping.

And then I gave different chord names in that key to each note. Using those notes by way of those micro chords I was able to write solos.

I fully realize this is like Frankenstein's monster, but by using this idea I found I was able to generate a passable jazz guitar solo using the notes of scales I recorded in user track format.

I passed this idea on because I think something can be done with it in the future since the technology already clearly exists with the micro chords.

I think the Holy Grail will be the day when you can just as easily generate a note for note solo you have written with real instruments the same as you can create chord progressions and backing tracks now. And I'm not talking about playable real tracks because they're still MIDI. I'm talking about using the program to play single audio notes that are superior to midi samples in any existing library.

If you can fill up those spaces in the micro chord boxes with chords it's just a matter of time until you can fill them up with notes using the same technology.

Now, one might ask: why would I do this if I can just sit down and play it?

Because messing around with this stuff is fun and sure beats Netflix.

I can see that this request is continually gaining momentum.

I'm sure that such a learning video will eventuate.

David, Thank you for sharing your idea with us.
Please post this idea in the +++ Post your own Tips and Tricks here +++ forum section.
Your suggestion combines two innovative, powerful Band-in-a-Box features, UserTracks and MicroChords. As more people are exposed to the unique features that are only available in Band-in-a-Box , the more people will want to add Band-in-a-Box to their musical toolbox.

In the past, Eyes on Success featured an episode that discussed our company history and Band-in-a-Box® program with Tobin, our chief development officer, including how Band-in-a-Box® is even more accessible with the help of their JAWS screen reader scripts!

Later on this month, Eyes on Success will be releasing an episode that features Gudrun Brunot talking about her new tutorials about how to use Band-in-a-Box® with JAWS.

It's a great idea to pair the two episodes together!

So, while waiting for their Gudrun Brunot episode, take 30 minutes and to listen to this episode from Eyes on Success. To download and listen to the podcast, use the link www.EyesOnSuccess.net/eos_2344_podcast.mp3

User Tip: How to add drum fills without changing any other tracks

MarioD has shared some great advice when it comes to adding drum fills without changing any other tracks in your song:

There have been a number of questions asking how to add drum fills without changing any other tracks in a song. This is especially important if one is holding a chord for a few measures and wants to add a drum fill prior to the next chord. The following is how to accomplish that:

1-get the instruments/tracks to play like you want but don't worry about the drums for now.
2-generate the song.
3-freeze all tracks
4-unfreeze the drum track
5-add your fills where you want them
6-generated the song again - note this will only generate the drum track and not the frozen tracks
7- when you get the drums like you want them freeze the track

Review - Band-in-a-Box® 2023 for Windows is Overflowing with Features!

Dennis posted his very thorough Band-in-a-Box® review recently, where he dives into some of the new features added with version 2023: Sound-Guy's Band-in-a-Box Review

Read his thoughts on the Download & Install Manager, partial track regeneration, Playable RealTracks, Audio Editing, the addition of SynthMaster, the VST DAW Plugin, and more!

"Band-in-a-Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is, without negative connotation, a monster of a program. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. No DAW can do some of the things BIAB does, while BIAB can do a lot that DAWs do."
