But it's great for practicing over chord changes or for working on ideas.
Band in a Box 11 includes Roland Virtual Sound Canvas which offers better midi sound.
There is (or used to be) a 50mb tutorial video for download on their website. Check it out.

I wouldn't recommend composing an orchestral arrangement on it though. One reason I bought it was because my teacher had a lot of songs from over the years that he saved on his Mac version of BIAB, basically the whole real book, and I transferred them over to PC format so I could use them.
Overall though, it's really handy and easy to learn. I'd recommend it if you find it at a decent price. |

Wow, man, thanks for those songs!
I have BIAB - demo version, which cannot save new files.
I think it's definitely a useful software and i'm planning on getting a definitive version soon.

I'm not sure what version I have? |

Just try it, you can't break anything.

I've been thinking about getting the Band-In-A-Box too but I'd like to know if it's possible to make your own drumtracks with it or am I limited into using the pre-made styles? I tried the free demo but couldn't figure it out...
