Band in a Box users - Sir Duke?

Sign in to disble this ad
Based on input here, I downloaded the trial of Band in a Box.
What a great practice tool!!

I'm gonna wait a bit and use the demo version for a while before I upgrade (but if I continue to use it, I WILL upgrade - definitely can see getting value out of that investment!)

Meanwhile, 2 questions for you users.

First - anyone have a version of Stevie's "Sir Duke"?
The "line" is easy enough, but the bass approach over the changes is SO hip - I want to just have a chance to play a bunch over those changes with the backing tracks and mess wif' dat groove approach.

Anyone got it?

Also, I'd appreciate a tip on using the BiB demo as a straight metronome? Right now the best I can manage is a swing drumbeat, which doesn't work for me for a straight-eighths groove...

Gracias amigos y amigas...
