Because I saw several ways to write it on YouTube. Let me play this song in the key of C major. His chord progression is C-E7/B-Am-Gm-C7-F about "E7/B", I see 2 other chords. These are G#dim/B and Bdim7 so, E7/B = G#dim/B = Bdim7 ? ? In fact, I often use E7/G# in front of Am This is the first time I've seen E7/B WIN10 20H2, AMD R4800H ,16G , 2T ,FOCUSRITE 2i4 MKII，Studio One,FL STUDIO

If you have just ignore it. If you haven't, maybe it will give come more insight into music for you. One of the ways that diminished chords work is that they can be considered to be a 7th chord without the root note. E7 = E G# B D If the root note (E) is removed, the chord becomes G# B D = G#dim (a diminished triad). Bdim7 = B D F Ab (where Ab is just another way of writing G#). Because the distance between each note in a dim7 chord is 3 semitones, there are really only three dim7th chords. They're just notated differently. What I mean is... Bdim7 = B (up 3 semitones) D (up 3 st) F (up 3 st) Ab (up 3 st) B (I'm back to the root note) This chord is the same notes as E7b9 (E G# (or Ab) B D F) without the root. In the key of C major, E7b9 will often sound better because the key has F in rather than the F3 that's found in E9. So Ddim7 = D (up 3 st) F (up 3 st) Ab (up 3 st) B (up 3 st) D These are exactly the same notes as Bdim7. It's just the root note that is different. The bottom line is that in a diminished 7th chord, the dim7 of each note in the chord contains the same notes. So... Bdim7 = Ddim7 = Fdim7 = Abdim7 Cdim7 = Ebdim7 = Gbdim7 = Adim7 C#dim7 = Edim7 = Gdim7 = Bbdim7 Therefore E7/B, G#dim/B, Bdim7 (and also Ddim7, Fdim7, Abdim7 since they are enharmonic equivalents of Bdim7) are all good chords that can be interchanged with one another to create a slightly different musical texture while preserving the harmonic movement. I hope this helps with understanding why different people have arranged it in different ways. --Noel MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

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."
