Band-in-a-Box 2009 for Mac

Band-in-a-Box 2009 for Macintosh

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. Live audio tracks can be created using RealDrums and RealTracks.

And that’s not all... Band-in-a-Box is a powerful and creative music composition tool for exploring and developing musical ideas with near-instantaneous feedback. Version 2009 is designed for MacIntel, and boasts major new features like RealDrums, RealTracks and the Audio Chord Wizard! 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.

Band-in-a-Box 2009 for Macintosh is full of major new features, including:

  • RealTracks! We’ve added "Real" instruments, including guitars, piano, bass, and many more! These are not "samples," but are full recordings, lasting from 1 to 8 bars at a time, playing along in perfect sync with the other Band-in-a-Box tracks.
  • RealDrums! RealDrums replace the MIDI Drum track with real recordings of top studio Jazz/Rock/Country drummers. These are not "samples," but are full recordings, lasting from 1 to 8 bars at a time, playing along in perfect sync with the other Band-in-a-Box tracks. The results are dramatically better than MIDI. They sound like a real drummer, because they are recordings of a real drummer. Adding a real instrument to the mix makes all of the Band-in-a-Box parts sound more authentic.
  • RealCharts. Many RealTracks can also display notation showing the notes that are being played. This is a great educational feature, allowing you to see the performance on the on-screen piano, guitar, or notation. Some Guitar RealTracks also show accurate on-screen fretboard guitar display to show what is being played on guitar. The RealCharts can be saved to MIDI file or Songs (MGU).
  • Look Ma, No MIDI! You can use the RealTracks just like any other Band-in-a-Box styles. Previous Band-in-a-Box styles were all MIDI instruments. Now the styles can have both MIDI and RealTracks instruments, or they can be RealStyles – which are styles which are all RealTracks, with no MIDI instruments
  • Audio Chord Wizard - automatically figures out the chords from MP4A files (or other audio files like AIFF, M4A, and audio CD etc.). Using the Audio Chord Wizard is a great way to learn and practice popular songs, as you play along and see the chords. You can use the Audio Chord Wizard standalone, or with Band-in-a-Box!
  • "Direct-to-Disk" Audio Rendering - Audio rendering means converting a song to audio format, usually to an AIFF, M4A or other audio file. Now you can render directly to disk. You can choose to save an entire arrangement on a single track, or on a separate file for each track, or you can save a single track to disk. Band-in-a-Box will save to disk in AIFF format in 5-10 seconds!
