Band-in-a-Box is so easy to use!
Just type in the chords for any song using standard chord
symbols (like C, Fm7, or C13b9), choose the style you’d like, and
Band-in-a-Box does the rest, automatically generating a complete
professional-quality arrangement of piano, bass, drums, guitar, and
strings or horns in a wide variety of popular styles plus optional live
audio tracks with RealDrums and RealTracks.
And that’s not all...
Band-in-a-Box is a powerful and creative music composition
tool for exploring and developing musical ideas with near-instantaneous
feedback.
Over the years many features have been added to
Band-in-a-Box – Notation and Lyrics, Piano Roll, 16-channel MIDI
Multitracks, Harmonization, the StyleMaker and StylePicker, a live
performance Conductor window, Medley Maker, and 24 –substyle
Multistyles. The Soloist and the Melodist are popular “intelligent”
features that generate professional solos or even create whole new songs
from scratch. RealDrums adds the human element of a live drummer while
RealTracks add even more live session musicians, bringing the entire
Band-in-a-Box arrangement to life. The Audio Chord Wizard has the
amazing ability to analyze, extract, and show the chords from audio
recordings on-screen and then write them to the Band-in-a-Box chord
sheet.
The inclusion of digital audio features makes Band-in-a-Box
the perfect tool for creating, playing, and recording your music with
MIDI, vocals, and acoustic instruments. Band-in-a-Box for Windows® can
also record an acoustic instrument or voice to add to the composition,
with processing through its own DirectX audio effects. Its built-in TC
Helicon audio harmonies will turn your audio track into multiple harmony
parts or adjust its pitch, with vibrato and scooping effects for
realistic vocal styles and up to sixteen choral parts.
You can print out your finished creation with lyrics,
chords, repeats and endings, DC markings and codas, or save it as a
graphics file for web publication or to e-mail to a friend. And when
you're ready to let others hear your composition, you can burn it
directly to an audio CD. Or save your composition as a Windows Media
File (or in any other compressed formats you have) for a file that’s
“Internet ready.”
You'll have even more fun making automatic medleys, playing
your favorite song lists in the Band-in-a-Box Jukebox, and singing
along to your Karaoke files with CDG graphics.
