Hello all. I am sorry that there was no blog post in June. I was very busy preparing for the National Arts festival and let that one slip past! Anyway, I am back in the saddle and here is my July blog post HOW I USE BAND-IN-A-BOX IN MY SONGWRITING I would love to hear your own tips and tricks! (Ps. Mario I have included your tip about using the generated melody in your DAW. Thanks for that!)

Joanne,
That's an excellent article. The clarity with which you've covered everything is outstanding. It must have taken a heap of time to prepare with all those really informative graphics.
Like you, I'm a huge fan of the Melodist and its ability to provide songwriting inspiration.
Have you thought about also posting this in the Songwriting forum? I bet that there are many BIAB users over there who will find this very instructive and very valuable.
All the best,
Noel

My original post disappeared! So here goes a second try:
This is a excellent blog. This has so much valuable information that it should be pinned in the tips forum IMHO.
PS - thanx for mentioning my name and my tip.
Have you ever noticed there are no lines to a bathroom at a water park?
