And with the newest 2019 version, even more than seven musicians can play at once. and a powerful and creative music composition tool for exploring and developing musical ideas with near-instantaneous feedback.” BIAB can complete an arrangement in seconds based on a musical style and key signature, or a chord progression you have specified, then play it with a ‘band’ of up to seven musicians who “live” in your computer. It is easy to use its basic features, but there is tremendous depth, many functions and dozens of educational and practice tools that can keep you busy for at least months, and likely years.Īccording to PG Music, the creators of BIAB, “Band In A Box is an intelligent automatic accompaniment program. This is a music program with incredible range and features although it does take some getting to grips with so prepare to immerse yourself.Band-in-a-Box includes thousands of styles, songs and sounds and can supply everything from inspiration to background accompaniments to complete musical productions.īIAB is not a digital audio workstation, but like most DAWs it is a very complex program. Note that this demo version is fully functional except that the Save features, Notation, Soloist/Melodist, and accessory plugins have been disabled. It also features a new 'multistyler' which bascially allows you to create compositions with far more depth. The latest version features even more realistic instrument sounds such as even better acoustic guitars and saxophones. Once you've tried this though, you'll be hooked. The only problem I had was exploring all the features which seem to go on an on. Other great features include save your creations as an MP3 and batch MP3/WAV/WMA generation. The 'Reharmonist' feature figures out a chord progression for any melody which allows you to create a new chord progression or enhance an existing one.

There's also a new soundtrack feature allows you to generate new royalty-free music of a specified length of time for use in home or corporate videos, soundtracks, etc.

There's a huge library of RealDrums styles and a superb 'Chords from MP3' feature (Audio Chord Wizard) which automatically figures out the chords from any MP3, WAV or WMA audio file, and displays them in Band-in-a-Box - great for learning songs on your instrument. And adding a real instrument to the mix makes all of the Band-in-a-Box parts sound more authentic.

They sound like a real drummer, because they are genuine recordings of a real drummer - not just MIDI tracks. The samples feature full recordings, lasting from 1 to 8 bars, playing along in perfect sync with the other Band-in-a-Box tracks. This program is a hell of a lot of fun if you're a music lover. If you've always wanted your own orchestra in your bedroom but can't play a single instrument then this is the program for you.
