and a powerful and creative music composition tool for exploring and developing musical ideas with near-instantaneous feedback.вЂќ Unlike my venerable Casio CT6000, which played accompaniments in real time as chords were formed with the left hand, BIAB is an вЂofflineвЂ™ composer and arranger that can complete an arrangement in seconds, then play it with a вЂbandвЂ™ of up to seven musicians who live in your computer. Thinking Out Of The BoxДЄs it says on the tin, вЂњBand In A Box is an intelligent automatic accompaniment program. If you are a brand new user, or just considering BIAB, I will explain what it might do for you, and if youвЂ™ve been using the program for years, I hope to provide some useful tips. Much is clearly explained in the manual, but some steps can get lost in all that text, and some details are not covered.

I first used BIAB in 1990, so IвЂ™m familiar with its basic functions, but decided, after getting the 2017 version, to read the entire manual and check out new and old features. To learn its basic features requires only a little time, but you could spend weeks delving into the more advanced features. I will not delve into the moral philosophy of using artificial intelligence to help compose music!Д«IAB is not a digital audio workstation, but like most DAWs today, it is a very complex program.

In this two-part review-cum-workshop I will review what Band In A Box (widely known as BIAB by its users) offers, and provide tips and explanations of features that may not be evident by looking at the main program window, or even by reading the 675-page PDF manual! Of course, working with a program yourself is the best way to learn and I will try to guide you to the fastest routes to the most useful features. Band In A Box 2017 is available for Windows and Mac OS. In addition, it provides a wealth of educational and practical tools for keyboardists, guitarists, composers and music students. In the 17 years that have elapsed since then, it has undergone continuous development, and remains hugely popular with gigging and home musicians who need decent accompaniments but donвЂ™t have the necessary skills or resources to create them.

PG MusicвЂ™s automated composing, arranging and auto-accompaniment program Band In A Box was last reviewed in SOS JulyВ 2000. With thousands of styles, songs and sounds on tap, Band In A Box 2017 can supply everything from inspiration to finished tracks.
