PG Music Band in a Box Pro (Mac)

Product Description

PG Music is excited to announce the release of Band-in-a-Box 2011 for Macintosh, with over 50 new features and enhancements. New features for Band-in-a-Box 2011 for Macintosh include big improvements to the sounds of RealTracks, with better sound over a much wider range of tempos. The RealTracks are now 70% smaller in size - and you can reclaim lots of existing hard drive space by shrinking your existing RealTracks without losing quality.

PG Music also has added a new Mixer window, allowing you to quickly set volumes, panning, reverb, tone and patches. The Mixer floats on top of the current window, so you can place it wherever it's convenient to make quick and easy adjustments to your Band-in-a-Box track settings. This is just the beginning of the over 50 features added.

Plus, they've released 101 new RealTracks for Macintosh in Sets 101 to 121 with great new styles - Gypsy Jazz, Celtic Jigs & Reels, Calypso, Praise & Worship, Reggae, Brent Mason Guitar, and much more. Now there are over 600 RealTracks available in RealTracks Sets 1-121. This provides new Macintosh RealPAK Volume 5 packages for Jazz, Rock-Pop and Country.
