Why We Love This Product!

The Easy Way to Compose and Rehearse!

Awesome for songwriters and a killer practice tool! Ever wished you had a group of musicians who were ready to jam, on a dime, without any whining... without needing you to walk them through every single part of the song (over and over again)... you know, so you could just tell them the changes, tell them the style, tell them the tempo and say "GO!" We're pretty sure you get where we're going with this. Because that's just what using Band-in-a-Box UltraPlusPAK for Mac is like. Just type in chords using standard chord symbols (you know, like E, Em, Em7, etc.)... let the software take care of it from there.

If you want to practice soloing or working on a tricky progression, just let BIAB do its thing in the background and you're cool. The best thing is, it doesn't sound like junky instruments playing with you - Band-in-a-Box UltraPlusPAK for Mac features great built-in sounds and even "RealTracks" that are actual instrument tracks to play along with. Instead of MIDI, you'll be playing along with real-deal audio - drums, pedal steel, acoustic guitar, and tenor sax. Cool, right? All the RealTracks were recorded by great artists.

If you're a songwriter, you'll appreciate some cool tricks up Band-in-a-Box UltraPlusPAK for Mac's sleeve. Try out the Melody Wizard. It can help come up with variations of the melody to give something a bit more life or make it feel less rigid. You can even have the software come up with an interesting solo part over the top of your tracks! All in all, this is a great value for any musician - true, it's like having a "Band in a Box" to rehearse with, jam with, try out new ideas with, etc., etc., etc... no phone calls or whiners necessary. Good deal.

This content includes almost every RealTracks Set, RealDrums Set, Style Set, Soloist Set, and Melodist Set, as well as several others, giving you the ability to easily lay out songs in styles ranging from pop to polka, country to metal, and more.
