Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Band-in-a-Box is an intelligent automatic accompaniment program for your multimedia computer. You can hear and play along to many song ideas and go from "nothing" to "something" in a very short period of time. It’s your on-call band, ready to make music whenever you are.

The award winning Band-in-a-Box is so easy to use! Just type in the chords to 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. Band-in-a-Box automatically generates a complete professional quality arrangement of piano, bass, drums, guitar and strings in a wide variety of popular styles – Jazz, Pop, Country, Classical, and more.

With Band-in-a-Box, you can input a typical song in just two minutes. You’ll quickly build up a large library of your favorite songs!

And that’s not all... Band-in-a-Box is a powerful and creative music composition tool. The program lends itself to experimentation, exploration, and rapid development of musical ideas with near-instantaneous feedback. Over the years many features have been added to Band-in-a-Box; Notation, Lyrics, Melody Tracks, Harmonization, and a programmable StyleMaker. The Soloist and the Melodist are two major "intelligent" features. The Soloist can generate professional quality solos over any chord progression. The Melodist can create songs from scratch with Chords, Melodies, Intros, Solos, melodic Embellishments, and even an original Song Title! There’s an amazing Chord Wizard that will interpret the chords in any MIDI file to create a new Band-in-a-Box arrangement of the song.

Band-in-a-Box for Windows can also record your voice or acoustic instrument while the program backs you up with professional accompaniment. The inclusion of digital audio features helps to make Band-in-a-Box the perfect tool for creating, playing, and recording your music in any style quickly and easily - with MIDI, Vocals, and Acoustic instruments. You also get professional audio effects plug-ins for "studio quality" finished audio production.

You can print out your finished song in leadsheet or a multi-part score formats, and save it in popular graphic file formats for online 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 you can save your composition in Windows Media Format for a file that’s "Internet ready."

You’ll have hours of fun listening to songs and playing along with Band-in-a-Box for both practice and pleasure.
