Henry, I just love your videos. Simple, down to earth, unpretentious, and clear. I'm 81 years old and have been using BIAB since it came out on floppy disks. That's almost as long as I've been alive. Regardless, every time I watch one of your tutorials, I learn something. Keep up the great work. BR
When selecting Realtracks, I have noticed that sometimes a specific instrument already included in a style will show up under "Swing/Even Feel doesn't match" or "Genre doesn't match". This has happened to me several times, so you can't fully depend on the reccomendations that show up.
You can't look for 100% accuracy from any software. Yes you are correct that sometimes instruments will show up that "supposedly" don't match the style and/or Genre but I have also used them from time to time. So you shouldn't entirely depend on the recommendations but they can definitely accelerate your search. Especially if you have a ton of tracks because you're upgraded the software pretty frequently over the years.
Great job Henry! I really enjoy your channel. I have had Band in a Box for years and it was so overwhelming. Thank you for explaining this so well. I finally made some Christmas tracks this year and it worked great.
I have many song ideas but can't afford to get into a studio. This sounds like exactly the solution I need. I will be getting this plug in. Thanks for the video.
Henry, I thank you! I have learned so much watching your videos so far! This was one of the main things I wanted to learn! I have worked on some songs that I found the perfect style to, but needed certain instruments for the song that wasn’t included in the style. This will make all the difference! Thank you so much!
Thanks so much Henry!🙏🙏🙏 Adding real tracks was a guessing game for me up until I watched this video. I never thought that someone could add a track in sync with a 12/8 or 4/4 in BIAB. This really helps but I do have a problem as I have the 2014 version, 😢😭 even so listening to your videos with my BIAB open at the same time I try much of the suggestions you send our way. Will be putting out my first demo of a Afro-Cuban piece I put together....THANKS AGAIN.
OK Ok will break my piggy bank, Ha Ha... Jokes aside Henry I will wait for the Holiday Season to come around and then splurge for the new version BIAB. Have to replace my Old Clunker cumputer to start with since I had to stop at 2014 because I do not have sufficient space for the newer versions. Thank Henry for the valuable tips on BIAB. Appreciative🙏🙏🙏
As always, very helpful, Henry. Have a question/video suggestion for you: is it just me or is it really hard to find good strings in RealTracks? Not a string quartet, not solo strings, just a nice string section or two for background sweetening. I haven't found any. Thanks
Hard to answer your question without knowing which version of BIAB you have. If you have a slimmed down version like Pro or Megapak you may have trouble finding one that is suitable. However you should be able to use the technique in the video and find one. I actually did that in this video where I showed how even though it didn't match the genre I found a smooth string pad to use.
@@loumarzeles326 I'm not sure but that may be the issue. Those paks you purchased are extremely limited. Please look at this video and maybe it will help you in deciding the right Pak going forward. ruclips.net/video/zpOTcsB_pHw/видео.html
I have to admit that I have never worked out Band In A Box I always give up, there are so many variations and controls and I always seem to have very limited live tracks?
Nice vidéo but band innbox look like 80 ans is here since 50 years !! Why guys don’t work on a modern aspect ! It’s awful ! Every DAWS look amazing , last iPad Logic version is socbeautiful , Colors , options ! But this …… Cam on !!!

This was such fun and SO clear! Thanks, mate. I'm a BB beginner and this was really worth the time. Thanks from a 70 year old grandma in Australia! x
OMG. I love that I can help you. That's what my channel is all about :-)
Man, I love watching your videos.
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoy them.
Henry, would you be able to explain the solo, melody etc., tracks. It’s always confused me. Great video thank you!
They are not complicate. They are mainly recommended place holders for creating. You can use any track on them.
Great job Henry! I really enjoy your channel. I have had Band in a Box for years and it was so overwhelming. Thank you for explaining this so well. I finally made some Christmas tracks this year and it worked great.
Thanks, glad to hear you got some good tracks made. It's great you're making Christmas music!

Be cautious. This is not a plugin but a full fledged software suite.
@@henryclarke5407 I understand. I am really digging it. And I enjoy your videos.
BTW I really love your accent and the way you speak. SO different to anything I hear!
I have to tell my friend Brian Richards who is Australian. We chat on zoom from time to time and we're connect frequently on facebook !! :-)

You're very welcome!
Thanks for the info about using Utility Tracks....opened up a whole new dimension 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Best thing they ever did !!
Good video...I discovered those features during my travels through BIAB this week.
Great !!

2014 is really really old. You're missing out on a ton of features that not only sound better but will improve your workflow.

Another top video Henry. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Love your channel! Good job Henry.

Great video again Henry
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you! That was very informative!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks again
No problem
You sound unwell Henry. I hope you r doing well. Thanks for another excellent video.
I'm doing quite well. I think I had a touch of a cold when I created this video. Thanks for asking.

@@henryclarke5407 Thank you for your response, Henry. I have BIAB 2022 and every Pro and Megapak they make.
@@loumarzeles326 I'm not sure but that may be the issue. Those paks you purchased are extremely limited. Please look at this video and maybe it will help you in deciding the right Pak going forward. ruclips.net/video/zpOTcsB_pHw/видео.html
Not bad. Could use some editing but it does follow the logic of the BIAB instructions.
I have to admit that I have never worked out Band In A Box I always give up, there are so many variations and controls and I always seem to have very limited live tracks?
Could be the version "PAK" you choose. I always go with the UltraPak and find the number of tracks mind boggling. More than I would ever use.
What version of band in a box do you have?
I have 2024.
Nice vidéo but band innbox look like 80 ans is here since 50 years !! Why guys don’t work on a modern aspect !
It’s awful !
Every DAWS look amazing , last iPad Logic version is socbeautiful , Colors , options !
But this ……
Cam on !!!
I think what it does is more important than having a modern look. However I get your point.
