Band-in-a-Box Version 2007.5
Whether you're a working musician wanting a simplified way to flesh out new ideas or an aspiring songwriter who wants
an affordable way to create songs but can't afford the thousands of dollars worth of gear to record music the traditional
way Band-in-a-Box for PC computers is an affordable fun-to-use MIDI music software solution. This award-winning series turns
your computer into a ready-to-go back-up band. You choose the length of songs the chords you want to use placing them where
you want and then you can add your melodies or choose ready-to-go intuitive accompaniments from the plethora of styles found
in the included Soloist Melodist and RealDrums Sets.
One of the bigger updates in the 2007.5 version is a major overhaul
to RealDrums which replaces the MIDI drum track with actual recordings of quality studio Jazz/Rock/Country drummers. More
than samples they are full recordings from 1 to 8 bars which perfectly sync with other Band-in-a-Box tracks giving your song
ideas a more realistic feel. They will instinctively adjust to changes in tempo/volume and you can even add third party WAV
files or create styles that control fills/post-fills/pattern lengths/substyles etc.
Other enhanced features in this
music production software include MP3/WVA/WMA generation; Audio Chord Wizard which can analyze an audio file and figure out
the chords for you; "Reharmonist" which generates chord progressions in the genre you choose for all or part of a song; auto-memo
generation; a melody influenced soloist that allows you to choose how much the melody will influence the pitch rhythm note
density and more of the solo; and a Soundtrack Generator for producing original music that you can tweak to fit any style
of film or video. You also get support for TranzPort a wireless remote control that works up to 30 feet away so you can work
on a piano while cueing up your "virtual bandmates". Improvements have been made to the notation audio dialog practice and
chord functions as well as better DXi features. There's just loads of fun to be discovered with the Band-in-a-box music software.
