It's all very beautiful. The question I ask myself is: what will be the 50 new releases this year ??? You have to imagine the brain factory that designs and realizes 50 new ideas per year, or 1 per week ! And every year I buy the same software ! Honestly updates should be free, or pay for 1 out of 2, but every year ??? And despite everything, we are still very far from the ease and user-friendliness of the EZ Toontrack or the famous simplicity of the BeatBuddy. I vote 2, like everyone else

Ray, this has a wonderful classic rock sound. The vocals, guitars and bass sound GREAT. I really like both the repetition and the changes you inserted. Creates a cool dynamic shift that's very fun to listen to. I would call this a nice pop song, but I get the feeling sometimes that the term isn't universally "pop"ular. Anyway, I really like your song!

Thanks for the kind words Hans. Well, Janice has four sisters but none would throw her out! 😀 And we appreciate you mentioning floyd and Peter. They nailed it. Glad you liked it! J&B

You are never on the outskirts; you're full on fun.
Thank you Marty. I (Bud) have often thought that Janice sings like a method actor. She puts herself totally into the song while working on it and then walks away from it after recording. 😀 And you are so right - it’s all about feeling. Glad you liked it! J&B

To tell ya the truth...I like simple songs without all the bells and whistles. James Taylor can still stand there with just a guitar and get it done. It's over whelming all the plug ins and toys . How about make sure my guitar is tuned and a pretty girl in Italy to play violin .lol thanks Izzy .

#2 for me. Also really looking forward to VST3. Actually I can add that I'd really like to see more MIDI styles and tracks/supertracks given that I have tons of excellent plugins and also often transfer what I do in BIAB to notation software at some point, which is greatly simplified by having good quality MIDI data as the starting point.

Prigioniero dei pixel - by Francescotuba Francesco Nespoli 1 hour ago Forum: User Showcase
La mia nuova canzone che affronta la tematica delle dipendenze comportamentale, un problema cui sono particolarmente sensibile. Saluti da Atri (Te) - Abruzzo - Italia: Prigioniero dei pixel Verse 1) Nel riflesso di uno schermo che m'inghiotte, Spirali di desideri e sogni che si spengono. Ore svaniscono in un vortice digitale, Ma l'anima sussurra, nella sua prigione ancestrale. (Pre-Chorus) Schermo e tasti, catene virtuali, Like e condivisioni, vuoti rituali. Sono un prigioniero di questa illusione, Ma dentro so che c'è un'antica dimensione. (Chorus) Dipendenze che mi stringono il cuore, In un abbraccio di solitudine e rumore. Social, pornografia, alimento di desideri, Catene sottili, ma pesanti come miraggi. (Verse 2) Tra le pieghe di pixel e filtri incantati, La fame cresce, vuota e ingorda, affamata. Nutrito di immagini, ma assetato di vita, Nel labirinto virtuale, la verità è sconosciuta. (Pre-Chorus) Schermo e tasti, catene virtuali, Like e condivisioni, vuoti rituali. Sono un prigioniero di questa illusione, Ma dentro so che c'è un'antica dimensione. (Chorus) Dipendenze che mi stringono il cuore, In un abbraccio di solitudine e rumore. Social, pornografia, alimento di desideri, Ma posso spezzare le catene, risvegliare i veri bisogni, i veri sentieri. (Bridge) Tra le luci finte e le ombre digitali, Brilla un'essenza antica, come luce nei gorghi. È la volontà di rinascere, di spezzare l'incanto, E danzare libero nell'eterno canto. (Chorus) Dipendenze che mi stringono il cuore, In un abbraccio di solitudine e rumore. Social, pornografia, alimento di desideri, Ma posso spezzare le catene, e ritrovare l'essenza, i veri respiri. Prigioniero dei pixel

I guess sometimes one needs to do the hard work themselves to find answers, and sometimes also to be prepared to make compromises. BIAB probably does not have a musical replication of every possible musical delivery.

It's been a couple of months ...Apparently. rayc 2 hours ago Forum: User Showcase
Hello Folks, It's been a couple of months since I posted Judith Said - the song with a SUPERB vocal by Janice Merritt. I've a few things I'm working on but only one that's in a state for any sort of listening. This is a song I wrote with my college writing partner Eric Drabwell, formerly of small town near Shreveport - but we did this about eight years ago rather than back in '76. It sat unfinished because it had potential but plodded along with insufficient variation for me to feel comfortable with it. I used BIAB to recreate the original song then added some chords changes to give some variation. Originally this was all G and C but I added a D/Dsus and an Am plus a C to give it some movement. I used the drums, organ & lead guitar from BIAB and recorded the rhythm guitars & bass myself. I copied the original vocal into the project and did some tuning to have the vocals agree with the news chords as well as a fair but of slicing & dicing to get the timing & phrasing right. Eric's not fussed on the changes and dislikes having his vocals tuned but I needed to do that nasty thing to make the changes work. His essential melody remains, pretty much, untrammeled though. I'll add the chords, BIAB components & lyrics presently, (I'm cooking dinner as I'm doing this). For the moment here's the unmastered current mix: APPARENTLY - The Newlings BIAB STUFF: Organ - 671 Solo - 1260 Drums - RockHardLA^7 LYRIC: (Eric added the NO and some variations to the You don't part) For those in the know this is based on the very famous lyric by a cloth capped English chap doing introspection amidst the glam world. I used to rewrite famous lyrics as an exercise and to absorb forms etc. This one seemed to work better than most. Not so very long from now A few minutes or maybe an hour I’ve arranged by stealth to help myself To take residence in the tower And once because I’m soft will send my tears aloft All that just to make it plain to you That what we had you’ve completely shattered Left standing in a daze you amaze As you were saying: "It’s all a lie I will not try" No point in you refraining From tearing down my life And landing me in strife You don't love me? Apparently, No. It could have been any day For you to chose to go away But it’s not for you that wouldn’t do Demise to be its own decay So to make it all come down You brought the world around Once with so much, Now it's cut by your touch Displayed me in little pieces Leaving them no doubt All about your lack of mercy You took your grand exit And took it without me No, there was no need But you knew I’d plead You've walked again? Apparently, No. It seems to be That there are more lives Wasted in the world That you have rended They can’t be mended Why do you do that which you do? If I consider the years The shouting and the tears I recall you cried when I said you’d lied Not knowing you hid your fears And of all the lies you told Not one was oh so bold As the things you said beside me in bed You don’t love me, apparently, no. You’ve found someone, apparently, oh. You’ve walked again, apparently, oh. You don't love me? Apparently no.

Deej: thank you! I'm so glad you like it. Herb: thanks. Yes, Eleanor sounded surprisingly nice, to my ears, when I first checked to see how she'd perform this ... and I used the "Tender" preset for this one, to give her some extra "softness" of sound, so to speak. I intend for her to feature more, in my songs (touch wood), from now on smile Thanks for listening and for your ever so kind comments!

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.
