Band-in-a-Box contains a huge number of styles (over 2000), understands all the existing accords, allows flexible control over arrangement, you can delete and insert new musical instruments, write the melody and vocal arrangement in the export format MIDI, then to open it and edit in a professional editor, such as Cubase 6. Also in the scope of the program includes the so-called RealTracks, which allow to achieve the realistic sound of drums, guitars and other instruments.
The structure of Band-in-a-Box also includes a sequencer RealBand, which is a fairly simple virtual studio. In general, we recommend this package for novice musicians, who for some reason did not want or can not create their own arrangements.
We’re excited to offer Band-in-a-Box 2012 for Windows with over 50 great new features and enhancements. There’s VST Synth support for each track allowing for multiple synths playing in your songs and the option to use VST Audio Plug-ins (reverb, delay etc.) on each track. Customize over 150 of the Guitar based RealTracks using the new Guitar Amp Simulator (AmpliTube CS). We’ve included “Direct Input” (clean signal) Guitar RealTracks for these, so all of the added effects come from the Guitar Amp Simulator.
We’ve added “Loops” support, so you can add your own, or 3rd party loops to any Band-in-a-Box track. The “BB Remote” app for iPhone, iPad, Android has been updated with new features. There’s a Simpler RealTracks setting that makes the RealTracks play a less busy or embellished arrangement. You can add MIDITracks individually now, simply select your favorite MIDITrack from any style to any track of your current song. EZ selection of “DrumGrooves” has been added, which are different grooves within drum styles.
