What's new?

Band-in-a-Box Version 2007.5

One of the bigger updates in the 2007.5 version is a major overhaul to RealDrums, which replaces the MIDI drum track with actual recordings of quality studio Jazz/Rock/Country drummers. More than samples, they are full recordings from 1 to 8 bars which perfectly sync with other Band-in-a-Box tracks, giving your song ideas a more realistic feel. They will instinctively adjust to changes in tempo/volume and you can even add third party WAV files or create styles that control fills/post-fills/pattern lengths/substyles, etc.

Other new and enhanced features include MP3/WVA/WMA generation; Audio Chord Wizard which can analyze an audio file and figure out the chords for you; "Reharmonist", which generates chord progressions in the genre you choose for all or part of a song; auto-memo generation; a melody influenced soloist that allows you to choose how much the melody will influence the pitch, rhythm, note density and more of the solo; and a Soundtrack Generator for producing original music that you can tweak to fit any style of film or video. You also get support for TranzPort a wireless remote control that works up to 30 feet away so you can work on a piano while cueing up your "virtual bandmates". Improvements have been made to the notation, audio dialog, practice, and chord functions, as well as better DXi features. There's just loads of fun to be discovered and had with this product.
