MIDI Files for Faster Styles - BIAB
Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge with us---very professional and easy to understand!
I've just downloaded all your band in a box tutorial videos for studying. Thanks a lot sir.
Every generation prefers its own "growing up" music.
I was wondering how you created the backup vocals - were they done from band in a box somehow or another way from within your DAW?
Newbie here. Glad to find these videos. How do I import a wav file that was created in the Tascam 12? All I need to do is trim the endings of my songs... the Tascam 12 won't do it. Any help is appreciated.
Why use BIAB. Why not throw it in a DAW and chop it up the way you want. Can't find a valid reason to use BIAB for this type of work unless I'm missing something.
So happy to have found this. Thank you!
Well thank you. Glad it helped.
Hello Henry I know this is a older video. I am just getting started with BIAB. I am having an issue with the load demo function working after I have chosen a style so I can get the chords for that style to show up on the front screen. Have you seen this before?
NM figured it out. Had to reset setting to default.
I'm 40 plus and your points totally resonate with me. Looking forward to getting the BiaB soon!
Thanks. I suggest you wait for BIAB 2025 which comes out usually in Nov or December.
@@henryclarke5407 Great, thanks for the advice!
omg the strings genuis
Glad it helped.
"SONG FORM"! I shoulda known... Thanks again Henry
Needs to be short due to lack of great compositional content, ie great melodies, interesting harmonies, non sophisticated rhythms! American popular music began its decline in the 50s thanks to the Beatles. Elvis, etc.
Maybe. Things do change over time so I don't think decline as much as I think changing attitudes toward music but I get your point.
Attention Deficit Disorder...post modernism etc.
I think the business model also had a hand in this.
@@gregedenfield1080 definitely!

If you do not get to the point of your song quick, your song is dead -- paraphrase from Huey Lewis.
Totally agree !!
Dear Henry, is there a way to determine a song's length in BIAB in minutes? It seems a huge omission by PG Music.
I have never found a way to time the song. I actually use a stopwatch on my tablet sometimes but of course when I move to my DAW it's not an issue.
Which version do you use? In my version i dont have any blue or orange colours. // Carl
Did you start with a chord in the 1st bar? The system needs something to start with.
You Got It Henry !
Thanks
Very interesting.
Yes. When you do the research you find some interesting points.
Because a microphone can't even be turned on unless the plan is to get famous from a TikTok dance.
When we record, our songs are as long as they need to be but you are right, Henry, songs (particularily on the radio) are getting shorter. Sometimes, short is sweet but in others, even short is too long 😁 Just kidding 😇
That's no joke!
It's a tuff call but if you want to get heard you need to be at least aware of the business model you're trying to get into.
🤙🤙
I see that, Buying BIAB 2024 Pro ($129) plus upgrade to BIAB 2024 Ultrapack ($279) = $408 is cheaper than buying BIAB 2024 Ultrapack First Time Purchase $469. How would you suggest of this, or perhaps i missunderstood what you explained in the video? Thank you..
Wait until you see the pricing for 2025 before you make a decision.
Yes showing your different creative angles is very helpful. I’ve been a studio musician and and a performing musician for many years. I really enjoy seeing new (for me) content which can enhance my creative process as well I’m turning 68 next month and music rocks my work. Thanks Henry for your very cool content. Keep em coming.. Matthew From California.
Hey Henry.. I so enjoy your tutorials. It has really allowed me to cut to the chase on music creation. Thanks. As a retired 67 year old teacher I appreciate all the content you provide. Henry I want to upgrade to Ultra Pack for the Real Tracks. I just purchased a 2024 Pro Pack first time but was wondering the best most affordable way to get the most Real tracks and styles. Could you give me advise as to a good way to get the best upgrade at the best value. Thanks Henry. Keep up the Good Vibes. Matthew. 😂
Hi. Glad you enjoy the videos. I personally think that the best time to get bargain upgrades is when they announce the new release. They usually have attractive promotional pricing at that time because they want to get off to a good start. They haven't formally announced but usually around October or November they will probably release 2025. At that time I would look at the upgrade chart from 2024 Pro to 2025 Ultra. It's usually a pretty good price at that time.
Love it!
Thaks so much !!
Once again an interesting video. Thank you Henry for sharing your knowledge and some of your history.
Thanks. I think that even though a lot of people on the channel don't necessarily have my background I think that their chord theory is a bit limited and I wanted to show how the tool can help them.
Great video Henry!! Another new setting i've been introduced to.
Thanks. Hope you get the chance to use it. I think it's great !!
Great suggestive instruction. Very helpful for adding flavor to a song to make the song more interesting.
Definitely. I've found some chords to use I would have never thought of before.
Hi Henry. Very helpful video. Thank you! : ) And who said us wrinklies can’t have style! lol Kind regards, Darren (Wales, UK)
Ha. Did you know that I performed in Cardiff back in my singing group days !! I also had a girlfriend in Cardiff and I used to go up on the weekends when I was living outside Oxford. Cardiff was such a cool trip. Just hit the M4 and cruise .. hahahaha Small world huh :-)
Yep. It truly is a small world. : ) If you'd stayed on the M4 a bit further West you would have come to fairer part of Wales. Tom Jones country. : ) I saw a lot of bands in Cardiff back in the day. Played there many times myself. Loved to have caught you live. : ) We may be getting on Henry, but if you're ever over this way again, there'll always be a warm welcome for you here. Take care of yourself. Darren (Wales, UK)
I 'play' with BIAB on and off. This is my first time with Chord Builder. Thank you. One thing,... how did you set up the blue and orange outlines around the chords. My has no colour outlines
Did you put in the root chord in the first bar? That should five the system something to work with.
Another superb video, Henry. I love the hat, the shirt not so much.
Ha. Raider Nation Baby. Been a Raider fan all my life even though they haven't won in 20 years :-)
@@henryclarke5407 Yeah, I too don't know about the shirt, go the 49ers
Man, these videos are so helpful, even though I've been using Band In A Box for 20 years. Seems like there is always more to learn! You might enjoy my new Band In A Box/Cakewalk song about getting older "The Older You Get The Faster It Goes" ruclips.net/video/NLDIE3lFksE/видео.html
What a great song and delivery. I like the way you did the video and your vocal captured the spirit excellently!! I wish more (would be) singers would learn from what you did with this type of song. Bravo !!
@@henryclarke5407 Thanks so much, Band IN a box/cakewalk (with plugins) is a powerful combo.
I liked it so much…. I thanked you twice 😂😂
hahahah .. thanks !!
Great stuff Henry! Hope I’m the first to thank you! Appreciate all your hard work. Top Man👍 Keep up the great work! Mike…in England!😊👌

This says more to me than any lyric written: ruclips.net/video/nndLfrHXplA/видео.htmlsi=1Im4oEctwkpkrDrL
Amazing idea your the GOAT for this !!!!
Well not exactly the GOAT but I'm glad the video was entertaining and useful !!
Henry- I have a mind problem. What is My Songs?
That's just a directory I create where I have me BIAB files located. It makes it easier for me to search for songs I'm working on. It's not a directory that the software creates. Just one I prefer to make. It really comes in handy when you upgrade to newer versions.
Cool... video Mr. Henry Clarke... Bravo.
Thanks. This was fun though the video is a bit old and I've learned a lot since then.
👍👍☮
So instrumentals don't move people.....? Have you not listened to Henry Mancini, Michel Legrand, Miles Davis?
Sure I have but those are niche markets (Jazz). Jazz is so limited that most of the Jazz Radio stations are no longer in service. I don't know anyone under 50 who listens to these artist. Even Jazz giants like Quincy Jones and George Benson did not fully break through until they started using vocals in their productions. This video was done based on research. However, you don't have to agree. You're more than entitled to your view and I respect that position.
I'm just saying for me, great melodies and beautiful chords don't 'need' lyrics to be great.
@@pianoman_JP And I respect that. I'm just saying that IF there are lyrics it's the vocals that bring those songs to life.
So, "Breezin' ", "Sleepwalk", "Axel F", "Mr. Magic", "Tequila", "Frankenstein", "Jessica", "Green Onions","Wipe Out", "Classical Gas", "Rockit", "Cantaloupe Island", "Chameleon", "Sun Goddess", etc., are not memorable? "I don't know anyone under 50 who listens to these artists" is short-sighted and, frankly, offensive.
@@MichaelCrutcher Not sure how this got so twisted. The video is about Lyrics and Vocal delivery of songs. NOT Lyrical songs versus instrumentals.
Very true. I'm not sure what proportion of top 40 or even hot 100 hits have been pure instrumentals but I'd bet it's well under 1%.
True. I think the last instrumental pop number one was 1985 !!
All parts of a song matter. A good song should contain all the ingredients, songwriting, instrumentation, melody, and good vocals. You'll find that a lot of good singers can play instruments as well.
All parts may matter but all parts do not carry the same weight. I'm saying here that if the song is a vocal song that matters more than anything. Not sure how the fact that good singers can play instruments matters except for the fact that when they are instrumentalists it actually works out a bit better because they know how to play to accompany a vocalist more. How to leave appropriate space, etc ...
Really? One of the great in lyrics of all time, Hotel California" isn't exactly burning up the charts as spoken word. @@henryclarke5407
After I recorded my piano playing on band in the box, how do I put that on a cd
You save the song in the appropriate format for burning. MP3 is usually the best choice to burn a song to CD assuming that you have a CD burner.
Great Teacher TU Henry !
Thaks for watching.
So true. Remember you are never too old to make music, BUT time flies faster as you get older so GET BUSY; (my song on the subject) ruclips.net/video/krVtqTVu84k/видео.html
Christmas card from a hooker in Minneapolis or Burma Shave (Tom Waits) : wonderful lyrics, interesting vocal, still two of my favourites
I've never heard of these songs ... hahahahahha must be songthing from "down under" ! :-)
Nice audio here...😁
Thaks. had to make sure I uploaded the correct video. I messed up the last one.
I agree brother. Vocalist are often also stylist. They'll take your lyrics in a direction you never imagined depending on genre. Very special people
I agree. Great vocalist can do some amazing stuff that the original lyricist never even thought of. Also when you come you can even come up with an approach to a line that you hadn't even thought of before.
Thanks henry, I use a sm58 and I'm going to try your advice with it. Hopefully we'll add to clear vocals
Cool. Give it a shot. Sorry bout the poor audio on this video. I used the wrong dub but hopefully the information was valuable and allowed you to overlook my error :-)
