That was fantastic. Funnily enough I used to use this programme about 15 years ago also. I rediscovered an old version of it on a pc a few weeks back and spend quite a while playing with it. I became quite intrigued with it - although the tutorial booklet was most confusing. I thought BIAB could be really useful in my work, so i came onto KZbin to see if anyone's heard of it. And they have indeed! What worries me is that the original programme has now morphed into really complex software now, although, I still recognise a lot of it as above. The original programme is quite complex with all its menus. Fantastic sounds on the video, and a really helpful programme for working out ideas. Excellent!

Hi Woody . . . Great introductory tutorial. Well done! As is the case with many of those who've commented on your post, I first used BIAB way back in the Stone Age. At that time it was a pretty cheesy, MIDI-based auto-accompaniment tool. However the novelty of entering one's own chords, tempos and styles, etc. was great fun - and a bit addicting. Ultimately my interest in BIAB kind of waned over the years; however about 10 years ago, I noticed that BIAB's cheesy MIDI sounds had become passe and that the BIAB tracks were then being generated using audio samples, i.e. RealTracks, RealDrums, etc. So I hopped back on the BIAB bandwagon and purchased the EverythingPAK. I actually used that 2010 iteration of BIAB to do the backing tracks for a complete, commercial release, "Feelin' Alright" by the Memory Brothers. That particular CD project turned out surprisingly well and continues to be available on iTunes and Amazon. ( Click link to give a listen: dougkoempelmusic.blogspot.com/2019/09/blog-post.html ) Fast forward to 2020 - the other day I realized that my version of BIAB was nearly a decade old (where DOES the time go!), and I decided I'd better upgrade. So I did and have just received my UltraPAK portable drive. Installation was a cinch; and upon firing up the software, I noticed some significant changes in the user interface (and a lot of new features.) But thankfully the mechanics of the workflow seemed pretty familiar. Nevertheless I thought I'd search out a tutorial for this more-current BIAB version. And yours fit the bill perfectly! Thanks for the fun tour of the new interface and features!

Yes, I've been using BIAB since the mid 90's. It didn't make sense back then to devote HOURS writing drum parts when this software could do it in seconds! As the Real Instrument Tracks were added, I began using BIAB for everything. I arrange the song, then transfer "Dry" to DAW. The learning curve is fast and results are wonderful especially when creativity strikes me at 3am!

Happy to see your interest in BIAB. I joined a harmonica band about 10 years ago and we used it for our backing tracks. The leader of the group showed me how it works and eventually purchased a copy for my iMAC 6 years ago. Sadly, with the iMAC came Garageband and BIAB was shelved. Now I am getting re-interested in it again and hope you show more info and bring me up to speed on new changes and improvements. Sincerely, Jack

I've had about 4 versions of BIAB, just upgraded from 2017 version to the new 2019 version. I love the program. I use it for making some of my soundtracks, adding some of my own music as well. It is possible to record each track separate and import them into your DAW and have as many BIAB tracks for the same song as you want. The new version even has a program that will let you open it in a DAW and use it together with your DAW. The possibilities are endless.

I got BIAB in the 90's and loved it! I bought the Mac version a couple of years ago and found it really frustrating. The Mac and PC versions are not the same (or at least they weren't then). The GUI still has that Win95 look about it but it's become so busy and convoluted. It works great as auto-accompaniment, or practice/learning aid, but as a compositional tool I found doing things like importing piano or bass from different styles to build a new style, or editing a style to be very cryptic or impossible. I did come up with some cool stuff on it that I exported as a .MID and imported into Reason. I'm glad to see you showing this on your channel. I never thought BIAB was given the love it deserved, as it was never taken seriously. There's a lot of potential there which I think could be of great interest to electronic musicians with a few modifications.

I've made a similar leap from 2006 version to 2018 with the Real Tracks, Real Drums, and all. Loved it then. Love it more now. I use and have used it to create original songs, primarily. It is a track, groove, and idea delivery system for me, but it's functions are so broad as to not limit its use to any one "thing". You've barely scratched the surface, but scratched it quite well. I'd like to see you demonstrate the entry and use of things like part-markers, pushes, rest, shots, and holds to vary the rhythmic feel.

The first time I used it was in 2008 - made a small piano piece on it and ignored it for 11 years. That version was 5 or 6 computers ago - long lost. I just purchased their new version and was looking for a KZbin tutorial (yours was the first I clicked on). But they have an extensive tutorial library available - I just haven't got around to looking at it. I'm glad I hit yours - sorta jogged my memory a little. As a composer, the program made me feel a little guilty. I mean, you can begin with no idea of a tune and let it run wild with only a little nudging from your ear and end up with something that sounds pretty good (even on that 2008 one I used). I was impressed, but I felt a bit like a painter who throws paint at the canvas, says, "Hey! That's pretty cool!", and then signs it.

BIAB is very effective on jazz bass lines. Some of the soloing is quite impressive as well. I did a little jazz combo with a live drummer and sax man. I played guitar and did the programming. We exported the MIDI file and used Sonar (now Cakewalk by Bandlab) as the performance platform after doing most of the arrangement in BIAB. I edited some of the more mechanical sounding parts, muted all but the bass and piano and it worked out pretty well. But you're right. It's really good for practicing. Plus with chords marching along on the screen it makes it easier to follow the chart.

Hi Woody. Thanks - that was great. I have been on the Band In a Box forums for the last month or so, trying to decide if I want to invest in the programme when the new version comes out in December. As moog Dome said in another comment, in a way it feels like cheating to me, but then again my plan - if I do buy it - is to use BIAB to create a quick demo, and then drag it into my DAW and do all kinds of editing and overdubbing there. It might be worth mentioning in a subsequent video about BIAB that there are several different methods for using and/or installing; these different methods include buying the programme on a hard drive, getting it on a flash drive, or installing it on a HD (either by streaming the download, or by buying a DVD and installing it from there. Take care, and I look forward to more of your videos.

Hi Woody, I only came accross BIAB about 4 years ago, and use it to draft new songs and occasional instrumental backing tracks as a sketch board. Being able to mess with styles, tempo and even weird chord progressions is a great way to find a starting place for a new piece. I usually import the audio into ProTools and then overdub my own instruments - but often I can't better BIAB's real tracks. There are however so many features of the software that I am sure I don't use well, or even at all, so any hints, tips or tricks videos based on real world use would be most welcome. One particular thing I don't seem to get on with is sending the midi generated tracks/instruments (sorry yes I do use them) to my external Roland FA07 so anything on that would be appreciated - and it is your fault that I invested in the FA07 with your excellent reviews of the FA series (which I really like BTW) so I reckon you owe me one :-) Thanks for a great channel.

hi Graham congrats on the FA, the 7 is the sweetest in the range I have heard! thanks for the suggestions and great to hear from another user.

When I press the spacebar, nothing happens. There is no sound coming out of t he software. I have all the content installed. What am I missing?

perhaps space bar not the right button, but i don't remember, ask on the biab forums perhaps?

No way you made a video about BIB... I just found mine (20 min ago) still installed on my Win 98 laptop from 2000! lol

Bought Biab in 9/2018, saw your You tube today, your setup out the box appears different. My program is on 4 cds, does not seem to have Coyote (???) as a midi selection. Still love Biab and will be checking out your videos on KZbin

not sure why that would be, i'm completely confused myself about coyote and the midi config, but i've only used real styles so far, so doesn't matter
