Learned so much from watching your workflow. Please complete next stage of the song when you find the time. Thanks.

Thank you that was very helpful.

are you in 2024 version? if so how do you get to that view?

I like your great voice Bryan. Thank you.

I’m a switch, knob and slider man myself! Old school, (old brain🤣😂) old guy🤦‍♂️ making real music, the proper way! Nothing against DAWers! Whatever rocks your boat, good luck with your choice of recording technique👍 But I’m totally in agreement with you!

Great video, new like and sub from me (all the way from California - although I saw some fluctuating temperatures in your computer system tray over the course of your various videos and thought to myself, where is he, Melbourne?? - I grew up in Mulgrave and see you are in beautiful Sunbury). Anyway 1:43 I see you are using Audacity as your DAW for this video. Have you switched from Reaper and/or settled on a new DAW, and are you using hardware less on each subsequent video? Thank you and, go Saints!

I like it, nicely done!

An easier way to add separate chords to beats 3 and 4 is to type them in separated by a comma e.g to add C to beat 3 and D to beat 4 just type C, D into beat 3. Great video.

What a well produced video. Good for you mate. An excellent introduction to a program where many tend to fall down the rabbit hole, but you kept it simple which is the way to dive in. Let me caution you on the use of bar markers (the blue bar numbers) which you use every two bars. You are using them for visual structure to the chart, but these force the drum to play a leadin prior to playing that bar. So your durms got very busy. But keep going and show us the rest of the arrangement.

Thanks. This was very helpful. Hope you will build the song further.

I can understand what you are doing, but would you not achieve the same or a better result if you actually played the progression on guitar or even a piano.

Thanks Brian!! This was very helpful !! I did not know how to use the multi riff feature properly. I do now. Like you i prefer to do nearly all the work in BIAB. Using the DAW just for last minute processing.

At some point you are going to have to use a daw though, or what are you going to do with your tape ? Throw it at the internet and hope it lands on a streaming sight.

Lovin' the OG recording and the harmonies! Haven't seen the BIAB changes yet (still watching), but awesome song.

Thanks Brian!! Did not know about the audio edit function!!

I am song writer too. Posted a couple on my FB profile for memory sakes and for my friends to enjoy. I have not considered using a platform to perform my music as that would require some form of home recording studio and I am not technically skilled to set something like that up. But I have read about spotify and how hard it is to make any money from posting music on that facility. One user said that it will take millions of download to make a living. Not sure how correct that is, but if its the case, someone is raking in a lot of money that they do not deserve. Composers are the least valued amongst artists, unless you are lucky enough to have your songs included in a movie.

Great video Brian, & excellent advice! Just subscribed! I'm about your age, but unlike you i have only had experience in a short lived local band performing in some local pubs. I've written songs for the past 30 or 40 years (most unfinished). I have a had a few recorded in studios in the late 90s/early 2000s. I decided 3 or 4 years ago to get back into songwriting & try to finish some unfinished ideas. I discovered BIAB about 2 or 3 years ago & purchased the mid priced version. Best thing i ever did. It's now given me REAL passion to devote a lot of time to songwriting. I'm not after making money, but am considering opening a 2nd RUclips channel for my original music. I do currently perform some of the songs at our "open mic day" at a local pub.

I agree 100% l used a laptop and DAW spent a good bit of time learning it, Did a fairly good track and the laptop freezes up it just never turned on again, l was so disappointed, smashed it with a hammer, never used PC since that was 6 years ago similar experiences with ipad don’t use a DAW on it only a few synth apps, much prefer my korg triton LE and my ultranova , play guitar mostly for the past 50 years

With a DAW it would be limiting for instance when I record a guitar I record a clean channel and an effects channel at the same time. Not easy to do on a recording device. I would however use a recording device for quickly prototyping ideas though.

I have no interest in recording in a daw. I like to play the guitar. I don't care what the audience thinks. I don't have an audience.

👍

Hi , Brian , I Like your Videos about BITB , do you use BITB for composing songs and How do you proceed ? it could be a Interesting Vidéo , Thank You !!

Nice video!! My process for recording my original songs is using Band In A Box for 95% of the process. I then just do a small bit of tweaking in ProTools - for instance if a guitar sound is not quite right i might add a bit more distortion or a chorus effect or whatever. A few months ago i was doing a lot more of the process in ProTools - but now, understanding BIAB a lot more has helped me do most of it in house. It's an AMAZING program!!

nice work

It was nice looking over your shoulder as you edited a song. I’ve been using BIAB since mid 90’s and realize I don’t know Many shortcuts! I learned about highlighting and regenerating “selected region”. Thank You for making this video!

Love that song ❤ great recording

Love the video!! I use BIAB 2022 edition for my songwriting. Seems the new version has a few nice upgrades. Thanks for showing me some things i did not know!! Love the realistic sound that BIAB gives. I appreciate the tips!!

I make music (on a separate channel) and the only AI integration I use is ONLY vocals, because every time i sing i sound like a dying eagle being strangled by a raccoon on LSD.

Did you have to subscribe and pay to use Audimee or was it free?

Just got the latest update for Audacity, and the interface looks like a toy. Audacity is definitely heading in the wrong direction when it comes to the look of the interface.

You didn't do it right at all.

wonderful demonstration many thx for that

Great video.🥰 The original recording sounded late 60's early 70's influence. I like the direction with BiaB. More modern. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Thank you! Nice song you got there! :)

What a great sound a rhythm at 4 mins in. What did you use?

Very interesting video ✌🙏

Great Job. Thanks for sharing. 😀

Another nice video. A couple of suggestions if you don't mind. You can toggle between Band-in-a-Box's two interfaces using the pc keyboard command Control+T or Command+T for the Mac. Some things are easier to to in one view than the other view. The audio mixer can be hidden from view or undocked so it can be resized and moved to wherever you want. In the view you use, click on the little folders icon to the right of the audio editor settings icon. Hiding the audio mixer makes the default Chord Sheet view much bigger so the chords you enter look bigger. There are icons in each interface to make the audio mixer visible. When selecting RealTracks, you can save steps and speed up the regeneration process by selecting the "regenerate track" button in the RealTracks Picker instead of waiting until you exit out of the picker.

Great series. I'm enjoying watching you use Band-in-a-Box and your songs. I thought using Band-in-a-Box's Audio Editor to fade out the sax and piano was a good idea Keep it up!

Nice job. Keep up the great work!

Great work Jackdog. You have come a long way with this application since you got it, and now teaching others and solving problems!

Go ahead and bore me with adding parts. I could stand to see how to do it.😁

Thanks!

Hey folks! I have found the answer to making several key changes in one song and will be demonstrating the technique in my next video. Stay tuned :)

I like workflow videos the best.🥰

Good work mate. Great episode. I remember this song now.

I have been waiting for Mac 2024, and I ended up getting the Windows version anyways. 6 months for nothing.😆 Oh well, I found some new channels while waiting.😉
