Re: Band-in-a-Box 2010Nice find, Robert!

Re: Band-in-a-Box 2010I didn't find it, I only received an email advising of an upgrade. I think it was Paul or Ken that mentioned Band-in-a-Box some time ago.
Re: Band-in-a-Box 2010I keep looking at that software and might purchase it someday.
It isn't something that seems like it could be learned fairly quickly so I will need to have some time to learn it. Looks like a great program for creating music though. 1. Thinkpad W530 Laptop, Core i7-3820QM Processor 8M Cache 3.70 GHz, 16 GB DDR3, NVIDIA Quadro K1000M 2GB Memory.
2. Cybertron PC - Liquid Cooled AMD FX6300, 6 cores, 3.50ghz - 32GB DDR3 - MSI GeForce GTX 960 Gaming 4G, 4GB Video Ram, 1024 Cuda Cores.
Re: Band-in-a-Box 2010I've used this for a few years now and love it. It does have a somewhat steep learning curve in order to take advantage of all its variables but you can get started instantly. It's just more powerful than it seems at first. I recommend it.

Re: Band-in-a-Box 2010I've been tempted to get this also.
Charles, did you get the pro pak or the megapak? Do you have any recommendations?
Re: Band-in-a-Box 2010
Not that it is hugely important, like a matter of life and death, but I think that it was Charles Deemer that first brought it to the attention of this forum.

Re: Band-in-a-Box 2010I think you are right John, Charles is the first one I remember mentioning Band in a Box

Re: Band-in-a-Box 2010I'm at a different computer but if memory serves right I have the 2008 megapak version. Can't recall the differences. I use it often but probably utilize only 25% of its potential ... it's a deceptively powerful program. You can even generate sheet music of the tunes you create if you're a musician. It's a bit overwhelming and takes some time to fool around and experiment, depending on your needs, once you realize how much more is there than creating a tune.

Re: Band-in-a-Box 2010I just upgraded to the MEGAPAK version, and if I could afford it I would get the whole package. I had to download 18 gigabytes last night. Included is Coyote ForteDXi demo plugin. After listening to some songs with that synthesizer, I bought it for $40.00.
It's very easy to create a song. Press SHIFT-F5, then select a genre. Chords and melody will be genereated and the song starts to play. But that's just one of many, many things you can do. I also download MIDI songs from the internet and play those in Band-in-a-Box. With the Coyote ForteDXi plugin, songs sound amazing. The best way to learn is to watch all the tutorials they have on their website.
Re: Band-in-a-Box 2010I've heard that it can import a mp3 and then you can create a whole new version of the song. I thought that would be pretty cool if I could import a popular song and just make a few changes to it and create something similar but different.

Re: Band-in-a-Box 2010OK, I made the plunge and bought the BIAB 2010 Megapak while it was still on sale. 18 GB is a bit to download so I'm having it mailed to me. I did download the main application to play with while waiting for the package with the realtracks discs.
For those with Vista or Windows 7 64-bit, the Roland DXi/VST plugin is not compatible with 64-bit. You'll want to buy the Coyote ForteDXi plugin for decent sound.
Re: Band-in-a-Box 2010Bob, Please keep us informed as you learn the program. I'm very interested in giving it a try but the price is a little steep for me. I am particularly interested in the MP3 import and if it can really create a song from an MP3. If that works it would seal the deal for me

Re: Band-in-a-Box 2010
One thing you can do with an MP3 or WAV file is generate the chords in the song. From there you can then apply a style, such as Jazz or Bosa Nova. At that point you won't have a melody, but it does have a feature to do that. You can easily change the instruments, tempo, key. Normally you would get rid of the MP3/WAV audio portion and be left with a new song, but you can keep it as part of the song if it sounds decent. There is a filter to remove vocals, but only if the song was engineered a certain way.
Re: Band-in-a-Box 2010Can you give the basic steps for that, RJ? I'm playing around with a Demo today.
