Product Description
Band-in-a-Box is an intelligent automatic accompaniment program, which means that you can go from nothing to complete song arrangements in as little as a few seconds. Simply enter chords to a song, choose a style of music, and Band-in-a-Box does the rest, generating a full band arrangement complete with Bass, Piano, Drums, Guitar, Strings, and more. You can arrange, listen to, or play along with songs in hundreds of musical styles. The MIDI and audio tracks that Band-in-a-Box creates are automatically played out through your computer's built-in sound card or synthesizer, and the music notation is displayed in a lead sheet window.
Tempo is set based on Style when choosing File | New. Instead of always resetting to tempo=140, the tempo is now the best tempo for the current Style Improved Enharmonics

 Very Difficult.... October 31, 2008
I'm usually very good with any computer program. This program is complicated and a lot of work. Audio sounds like cheap midi...couldn't get real instrument audio despite all attempts. Very disappointed.
 A Great Program January 13, 2008
Band in a Box has everything my husband needs for the music he uses in different music programs, he really loves it. The only problem he has with it is that it is difficult to learn how to get the combinations of back up tracks he needs. But it has all the equipment for groups and the different back up tracks. After he figures out how to make it do all the things he wants it to do, we will be ordering more up grades for it. He thinks it is a fantstic program for musicians from beginners and professionals.
INSTRUMENT ACCOMPANIMENT December 24, 2007
This was a gift for my brother who is a musician. He said that Band in a Box was excellent and the perfect present for him.

Simply put, this is a kickass product. I dig the "big piano" which helps with left hand / right hand position. Since I purchased this item, my playing has improved 10-fold over the last 3-months. Now I realize I went too long playing solo. A backing band is what I needed and now it's what I got when I come home from the old day job and plunk the ebony and ivories.

I started with Band In A Box in the 90s when it was on DOS Diskettes. It has been my co-writer ever since. Each upgrade has taken it to new levels.
Band In A Box is like having musicians on call 24/7. And now with the "Auto Chord Wizard" I can let Band In A Box figure out the chord changes to any song within minutes.
