CloseYour New Backing Band!
This is a special 5-pack of Band-in-a-Box for educational facilities.The PG Music Band-in-a-Box 2009 for PC is a snap to use with your Windows-based rig - just type in the chords for any song using standard chord symbols (like C, Fm7 or C13b9), go with the style you'd like, and this incredible software does the rest. Band-in-a-Box automatically generates a complete pro quality arrangement of piano, bass, drums, guitar and strings in a wide wide range of popular styles (jazz, pop, country, classical, and more). It's now easier than ever to get amazing, realistic-sounding arrangements straight from your PC with the PG Music Band-in-a-Box 2009 for PC.
PG Music Band-in-a-Box 2009 for PC Accompaniment and Composition Software at a Glance:
- MultiStyles
- RealTracks
- Chords from MP3 function
RealTracks
Plus RealDrums, there are three more "Real" instruments, including Genuine Pedal Steel, Genuine Acoustic Guitar, and Tenor Sax soloing (RealSax). These tracks replace the MIDI track for that instrument, and can be controlled just like the MIDI instrument (volume changes, muting etc.). Best of all, they follow the chord progression that you have entered, so that you hear an authentic audio accompaniment to your song. These are not "samples," but are full recordings, lasting from 1 to 8 bars at a time, playing along in perfect sync with the other Band-in-a-Box tracks. RealTracks can be made in to the style, and would replace either the bass, guitar, piano, or strings part, or they can be generated to the Soloist (or Melody) track using the Soloist feature.
Get chords from audio files
The amazing "Chords from MP3" feature (Audio Chord Wizard) automatically figures out the chords from any MP3, WAV or WMA audio file, and displays them in Band-in-a-Box 2009 for PC. Just load in any MP3 file and you'll instantly see the chords. The Audio Wizard also figures out tempo, bar lines, key and fine-tuning from the MP3, WAV or WMA audio file.
MultiStyles
Inside Band-in-a-Box 2009 for Windows, there are styles that can have anywhere from 4 to 24 substyles. Previous Band-in-a-Box Styles were limited to 2 substyles ("a" and "b"). Now, for example, a MultiStyle with 4 substyles (First Verse, Verse, Chorus, Break) can be used, and you select the various sections using "a"/"b"/"c"/"d" part markers. Some of our newest Styles Sets are MultiStyles, typically with 4 substyles, but some Techno Styles have 24 substyles. You can easily make your own MultiStyles, either from scratch, or combining parts from existing Styles to make a MultiStyle. For example, if you have 10 favorite Country Styles, you can quickly make one MultiStyle that has 20 substyles available within the same song.
