Band in a box 2008.5 upgrade pack for Windows
Band in a box 2008.5 upgrade pack for Windows at DC Music. Thank you for your interest in the Band in a box 2008.5 upgrade pack for Windows. Band in a box 2008.5 upgrade pack for Windows. This will upgrade your
current 2007 version of windows band in a box to the new Band in a box
2008.5 version. Note: This is an upgrade version only. You must have a current Band in a box 2007 or higher version already installed on your pc.
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.
Band-in-a-Box is a unique and flexible program
with a broad range of uses. It is a powerful and creative music
composition tool for exploring and developing musical ideas with
near-instantaneous feedback. Amaze friends and family by coming up with
your own original songs in as little as a few minutes! Band-in-a-Box is
also an excellent educational tool, used both by professional musicians
to sharpen their skills, and as a learning aid by people with little or
no musical background. It's also an essential program for practicing
your instrument in a full band setting - you play your instrument while
Band-in-a-Box takes the place of the other members in your band. And of
course, people use Band-in-a-Box just to have fun!
While the
basic concept behind Band-in-a-Box has remained the same since it was
first conceived over 20 years ago, hundreds of innovative features have
been added. The list of things that you can do with Band-in-a-Box is
endless! The Soloist, Melodist, and Audio Chord Wizard are examples of
amazing "intelligent" features; the Soloist generates professional
quality solos over any chord progression, the Melodist can create
entire songs from scratch with Chords, Melodies, Intros, and Solos
(even a Title!), the Medley Maker can combine songs to create
interesting medleys, and the Audio Chord Wizard can figure out the
chords in any audio file (wave files, MP3, WMA, etc.).
In
addition to these and many more amazing features, over the years
Band-in-a-Box has expanded from originally being a Jazz oriented
program, to encompass a diverse range of musical genres including Pop,
Rock, Latin, Country, Classical, World, Blues, Bluegrass, New Age,
Techno, Metal, and much more. There is something for everyone! Over
1700 styles are currently available from PG Music and more are always
being developed, many based directly on customer requests. Moreover,
since each style is a large database of musical patterns and ideas, the
song arrangements will always be fresh, never sounding exactly the same
each time.
It's easy to get started using Band-in-a-Box. Here
are the basic steps you might use to put together a song from start to
finish...
*Input chords for your song. Choose a key/tempo and
set the number of bars/choruses/loops,etc. You can type in the chord
symbols using the computer (qwerty) keyboard, however it's also
possible to enter chords in other ways: You can play the chords from a
connected MIDI keyboard and use MIDI Chord Detection, you can use the
built-in Chord Builder, and you can even have Band-in-a-Box figure out
the chords in any MIDI or audio file. The chords that you input can
include common chord symbols such as C7, Cm, and Cmaj7, or more complex
chords such as Csus#5#9 and C7#5b9#11. Over 100 chords are supported,
plus you can enter an alternate root for any chord (slash chord).
*Choose a style of music using the StylePicker Window. You can quickly
and easily preview your song in many different styles, or you can
listen to original demo songs for any of the PG Music styles available.
Styles will use up to five tracks for the accompaniment, depending on
what is suitable for that specific style. For example, a Classical
style might only use the Piano track, while a Rock style may use Bass,
Drums, and Guitar. You can also choose a style made entirely of
RealTracks and you wont hear any MIDI at all... your song will sound
like it was recorded by professional studio musicians!
*Arrange
your song using automatic intros, 2-bar endings, substyle variations,
drum fills, intelligent chord substitutions, pushes, shots, rests, and
more!
*Press Play to have Band-in-a-Box instantly develop an
original arrangement for your song, which is played back through the
sound card or MIDI synthesizer of your choice. For playback, you can
use a software synth (stand-alone/DXi/VSTi) such as the VSC-DXi
included with Band-in-a-Box, or a hardware synth (sound card synth/MIDI
keyboard/sound module). In addition to MIDI tracks, Band-in-a-Box also
generates original audio tracks called RealDrums and RealTracks.
*Input your own instrumental melody/solo track using an external MIDI
keyboard, or by using your computer mouse and keyboard in the Editable
Notation window. Or, have Band-in-a-Box create the solo and melody for
you using the Melodist and Soloist!
*Record an audio track. You
could use a microphone to record yourself singing, then harmonize your
vocal track using the built-in audio harmonizer.
*Make an audio CD of your music! Render your song to a wave file and burn a CD, then play the CD in any standard CD player.
General
system requirements (Band-in-a-Box for Windows). Band-in-a-Box runs on
Windows 98 (98SE preferred), NT, ME, 2000, XP, and Vista, and requires
a minimum of 128MB available RAM (256MB or greater preferred). You
should have a minimum of about 150MB (for the Pro version) or 500 MB
(for the MegaPAK) of free hard disk space. This doesn't include the
RealDrums and RealTracks, which require more hard disk space - about
100 MB per RealDrums set and 800 MB per RealTracks set. If you are
planning on recording digital audio tracks with your songs (e.g.
vocals), this will also require more hard disk space, about 10 MB per
minute of audio recording.
New!!! We've just added over 40 new RealTracks styles with the release of Band-in-a-Box 2008.5!
