PG Music Band-in-a-Box 2011.5 for Macintosh Automatic Accompaniment Software

Band-in-a-Box is so easy to use!

Just type in the chords for any song using standard chord symbols (like C, Fm7, or C13b9), choose the style you’d like, and Band-in-a-Box does the rest, automatically generating a complete professional-quality arrangement of piano, bass, drums, guitar, and strings or horns in a wide variety of popular styles plus optional live audio tracks with RealDrums and RealTracks.

And that’s not all...

PG Music’s Band-in-a-Box is a powerful and creative music composition tool for exploring and developing musical ideas with near-instantaneous feedback.

Over the years many features have been added to Band-in-a-Box – Notation and Lyrics, Piano Roll, 16-channel MIDI Multitracks, Harmonization, the StyleMaker and StylePicker, Medley Maker, and 24 –substyle Multistyles. The Soloist and the Melodist are popular “intelligent” features that generate professional solos or even create whole new songs from scratch. RealDrums adds the human element of a live drummer while RealTracks add even more live session musicians, bringing the entire Band-in-a-Box arrangement to life. The Audio Chord Wizard has the amazing ability to analyze, extract, and show the chords from audio recordings on-screen and then write them to the Band-in-a-Box chord sheet.

You can print out your finished creation with lyrics, chords, repeats and endings, DC markings and codas, or save it as a graphics file for web publication or to e-mail to a friend. And when you're ready to let others hear your composition, you can burn it directly to an audio CD. Or save your composition as a Macintosh Media File (or in any other compressed formats you have) for a file that’s “Internet ready.”

Plus, you can Save, Print, and Render your songs! Print out your complete song arrangement, save it as a MIDI file, or render to an AIFF, M4A, or other audio formats, and Internet formats.

There are 20 new features and enhancements in Band-in-a-Box 2011.5 since version 2011!

There's the new "Same-But-Different" feature, which ensures that, if you have 2 (or more) of the same RealTracks on different tracks, that they will never play the same thing at the same time.

Support for Pedal Bass RealTracks!

There are 101 new RealTracks in sets 122-136, including: 70's Soul, Celtic Hornpipes & Slipjigs, Crossover Pop, Gypsy Jazz, Jazz Piano and Organ, Brent Mason Country soloing, Praise & Worship, and much more!

There were over 50 new features in Band-in-a-Box 2011!

Big improvements to the sounds of the RealTracks so that they sound more natural over a much wider range of tempos, using the elastique Pro V2 time stretching engine by zplane.development. These improvements are built-in, so there's nothing you need to do to get it working.

Your existing songs will just sound better automatically!

A new Mixer window allows you to quickly set volumes, panning, reverb, tone and patches. The Mixer floats on top of the current window, so you can place it wherever it's convenient to make quick and easy adjustments to your Band-in-a-Box track settings.

Enhanced RealTracks, so that you can now have RealTracks style changes within a song, generate RealTracks Soloist Medleys, and more.

There's a Scales Wizard for practicing, which generates scales for any chord progression, and new StylePicker Filters show you only the styles that match your search criteria.

101 new RealTracks since July 2010, including: Gypsy Jazz, Celtic Jigs & Reels, Calypso, Praise & Worship, Reggae, Brent Mason Guitar, and so much more!
