You are very welcome Tiger. There is another way involving style changes. I'll explore that in a future video. Thanks as usual for watching, commenting and also giving me the idea to make this video. :)

Thank you Brian very much appreciated! Style changes is great! I’ve used on a few of my songs, but would be great to see how you do it. Can you also do a video on endings to songs. I can’t find for the life of me the video I used to watch to help me change endings. It was 8 years ago.

@@sabrinamariamusic Thanks for watching. Yes I will address various ways to end songs so you are not stuck with the BIAB one size fits all. I appreciate you bringing this idea to my attention. :)

@ much appreciated! 😃

@@sabrinamariamusic Thanks Sabrina for that suggestion. I was curious about that also!!

Thanks Sabrina. It was your and Andy's comments on my last video that encouraged me to get this video done, so thanks for the inspiration.

The comments in this video led to my latest video :)

Brian, 2 questions. How do you change time signature midway thru a song? Also, how do i enter the Australian songwriting competition?

@@TigerRogers0660 It can be a little complex to change time signature mid song but very doable. I will make a video showing how I do it soon. Entries for the Contest will re-open in March next year I think. You can find details at www.asai.org.au. They usually announce the comp a few months before the deadline.

@@BandInABoxRevealed-ke5tp Thank you Brian.

Thanks TigerRogers0660. Some folks generate a lead break through out a whole song then cut and paste it in a DAW until they are happy enough with it. I much prefer to build it using the biab interface. When you consider that each bar can be played in 20 or more different ways, It gives you far greater control of the process and ultimately a better outcome. It just takes patience and sometimes a fair bit of mind numbing repetition. It's all worth it to get the best results for your music. Thanks for watching and commenting. :)

I've also listened to some of your originals. Whilst some might not be immediately appealing to me, i do like "The Fozi Song" & "Water Under The Bridge" !! The songs are all well written!! I have 2 or 3 songs in a similar style. Are all of these done in BIAB??

@@BandInABoxRevealed-ke5tp I tried the generating thru a whole song - then using cut & paste. Slow method. This method will not work if you have many sections with different chord patterns.

@@TigerRogers0660 Most of those songs were generated in biab over the last 6 months. A few of them are analogue recordings made with a reel to reel machine. 5 of my biab songs have made it through to the finals of the Australian National Song contest this year. I will find out the results next week when I attend the Awards night in Sydney next week. I'd certainly be interested in hearing some of your music if you'd like to drop a link to my email. biabrevealed@gmail.com.

@@TigerRogers0660 this method is also brilliant for small fills and riffs throughout your songs.

Hi Andy. The technique I use can be viewed in my video "Starting A New Song In Band In A Box" where I use the Multi riff tool to generate a guitar part. ruclips.net/video/iRp7oIlnxDo/видео.html . I should have explained it in this video as well. I will do a deeper dive in my next video. Thanks for watching.

@BandInABoxRevealed-ke5tp Thanks. I'll take a look

Hi Sabrina. I have covered this process in earlier videos. The Blue part markers indicate a softer approach to the drums and other instruments or "A" section eg: Rim shots on the drums. The green part markers indicate a heavier approach with snare hits ect or "B" sections. If you have no colour on the part markers the drums and instruments will continue as per the last colour indicated. The part markers, no matter the colour will always trigger a drum fill, Blue or green. No colour will not trigger a drum fill. This also applies to some of the instruments and helps to create dynamics in the arrangement. I hope that helps. Thank you for watching and commenting.

@ thank you. I actually meant on the top, not the side. 2021 doesn’t have the thin lines on the top in blue and green. The ones on the side, yes, I use regularly. OK, I shall search for your video. Many thanks!

@@sabrinamariamusic Hi Sabrina. Thanks for clarifying. The blue and green markers at the top simply map out the part markers selected in the song and gives you a quick overview of the songs dynamics as chosen at the beginning of each bar. regards Brian.

@@BandInABoxRevealed-ke5tp thanks for responding. Time for an upgrade I think.

Thanks for watching :)

Thanks for watching. My mother was born in Falkirk Scotland and I spent some of my childhood there. I still have a tartan heart, In fact, I wrote a song called 'Tartan heart' which you can listen to by clicking the link in the description of this video. Take care and keep riding that Harley ") Yes I subscribed.

@BandInABoxRevealed-ke5tp I sensed something Scottish in your genes. I meant to also say you have a nice voice too and without doubt a good ear for a nice tune. Like yourself I gigged for over 30 years, pubs and clubs. Retired from it about 5 years ago and had a break from playing. You sound like you have had a similar experience and journey with too much gear and too much software and getting nothing done. I have a lot of stuff but like yourself I did buy a Zoom R20 with the idea of going back to old school and did consider the boss recorder. Your analogy is bang on about keeping it simple and working with less could mean more success in the end. Thanks for subscribing, stay safe and keep on filling up those sound waves in the nice way you do.

I somewhat agree. I was dipping my toe into AI and probably should have used the slider to make it more intense.

OOH that last click of the wheel! Thanks for participating. :)

You are very welcome Paul. I hope you capture some great music with it in places where it is otherwise impossible. :)

I'm already planning my next giveaway. More details soon.

Thanks for your interest. Yes, a lot of folks only have DAW experience these days. Having a pocket studio is really handy especially when travelling.

I use an external recording device because I have some issues with latency and I haven't really figured out how to use the reverb effects while monitoring live vocal recording in biab. If you have any advice on this topic please feel free to enlighten me. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks Paul. By the way I'm looking forward to recording your song "Mortuary Station" next time you visit my home. Take care mate.

@@dhoch 40 odd years of busking and gigging, you get to finding your voice.

@TigerRogers0660 biab is the key to cataloguing my years of songwriting. I still have so many to record. Thank God for biab.

May I say, that I have know Brian for over 30 years. He is an astounding song writer...I am dobbing him in, but he is the Former President of the ASA, the Australian Songwriting Association, who travelled the country meeting the members and mentoring songwriters. He and his wife established an original open mic nights called Wax Lyrical, and these open mics still run across Australia. All of that means something, however, what impressed me the most was his ability one time to make the Name Sheen, rhyme with Japan!

@@paulconnelly6560 I did not know this! Huge respect to Brian!

@@paulconnelly6560 Thank you Paul for your kind words. I don't like to blow my own trumpet, that's another reason I love Band In A Box! :)

Thanks Tiger. It is totally worth upgrading. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it.

It's basic, It's free, It's easy to use and if you are anything like me, you only use it to top and tail and export a mix. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Regards Brian.

BIAB 2024 It's worth upgrading if you have an early version.

Hi Bill. If I understand your question correctly, The answer may be to select the region you want to regenerate and then in the mixer select the instrument you want to regenerate. Right click on it, eg Bass, then select track action from the drop down menu. You can then select "Regenerate in selected region" this will regenerate the bass only in the bars you have selected. you can repeat this process for as many instruments as you like. It will auto freeze the results in place. I hope that helps. many of my videos demonstrate this process. Thanks for watching. Regards Brian.

I'm currently using the Zoom R8 along with Band In A Box 2024. It's a fabulous combo for those of us who prefer DAWless recording. The BR 80 is great for its size but it does have some limitations, no XLR inputs or phantom power. Good luck in the random draw on November 5th. Thanks for watching.

Yes and no! Once i found the progression I wanted, biab allowed me to simply repeat it for 5 bars while I faded it out.

Thank you Brian for your in-depth, deep dive. I really do appreciate and value your opinion. Thanks again for taking the time to watch and listen through your high end system as well as consumer level audio.

The little BR 80 is surprisingly easy and fun to use. I wish I'd had more time, I really believe I could have made it even more competitive. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks!

Thanks and sorry for the confusion. 😊

It sounds like we shared the same recording journey. :)

@@Garvoltstudios I'm glad you found it helpful. I will be making part 2 of this video soon. Thanks for watching.

Yes this is the 2024 version. there are options on how you view the interface. I will cover this in a video soon. Under the word Master you will see a choice of views in the "Drop" section

Which version. I have pro..is your video using a higher version?​@@BandInABoxRevealed-ke5tp

Thanks ..got it...much better view!​@@BandInABoxRevealed-ke5tp

Thanks got! Much better view!!!

I appreciate that!

Good on you John. I am keen to hear some of your results. Thanks for watching.

Hi Tom. It was very observant of you to notice my location and temp range :). I visited California in 2015, LOVED IT! Especially San Francisco. I am using Audacity because I am trying to keep it as simple and cheap as possible. I am Currently In Perth in a $100K studio to see if I can replicate their results on a $250 handheld recording device. Wish me luck and keep an eye out for my next video. Thanks for watching, subbing and commenting. B.
