Type in chord names and let Band in a Box Pro back you up with samples of real musicians. Optimized for Windows, this software is a composer's best friend.

The award-winning PG Music Band-in-a-Box for Windows is so easy to use! Just type in the chords for 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 or horns. Plus, add REAL accompaniment to your song with RealTracks and RealDrums. These are actual recordings of top studio musicians that replace the MIDI track with audio instruments. They sound like real musicians, because they are recordings of real musicians!

Features:

- With over 50 added features, 101 RealTracks, 54 MIDI SuperTracks, 20 Artist Performances, 8 Hi-Q MIDI Sounds and a great look! There are now over 1,200 hours of RealTracks/RealDrums available!
- The GUI had been redesigned, with a great look and feel, and many time-saving features have been added: Toolbars, Song/Style areas, on-screen mixer, redesigned chord sheet with handwritten "real" looking chord fonts and more.
- You can now make your own RealTracks - "UserTracks" - and you can use them like any RealTracks.
- There's a handy Instant Preview of Styles, RealTracks, and RealDrums so that you can quickly audition them to choose the best ones for your song.
- Loops now support Acidized Loops, so that tempo/chord root info is automatic. Support for FretLight guitar has been added. You can now hear Band-in-a-Box singing, with built-in support added for the read more popular online vocal synth "Sinsy." A Legato Strings feature automatically optimizes MIDI string parts to prevent retriggering the same notes.

I couldn't write music if my life depended on it. I can create songs in my mind, but putting them on paper is something I can't do. I had two songs that I created many years ago, and when I got Band in a Box, I decided to see if I could at least create some background for them. I can't believe the results I've got so far. No, I'm not finished, but I'm closer now than I've ever been.

Musical Background:

I'm a retired working musician of at least 35 years. I play bass guitar and rhythm and lead guitar, and I'm also a vocalist.

Musical Style:

Country, blues, old rock, jazz
