I have never understood the viewpoint that use of the computer for music endeavors as anything other than some sort of easy "one-button-and-its-a-great-finished-product" is problematic.

**The day you bought or were given your first instrument, could you just pick it up and instantly make wonderful music that other people applauded?**

Or did you have to spend some time learning a few new things, new names, nomenclature, etc. before you could play the doggone thing?

Band in a Box is much the same. Treat it like a brand new musical instrument that is indeed rather complicated as compared to any single instrument. After all, most are suddenly encountering aspects of playing instruments *other* than the instrument that they've been trying to master. The Drummer may have some things to learn about the Melodic Instruments, the player of a Melodic Instrument may have to learn a few things about Drums and Percussion, all may have to learn about things such as MIDI, at least to the extent that the foundation behind Band in a Box, whether you choose all Realtracks or not, is MIDI-based.

Along the way, Band in a Box will make you a better musician...

The key to getting there as fast as possible lies in spending an ordinate and typically small amount of time with the program on a daily basis.

Didn't learn to play the Piano, the Trumpet and then the Guitar overnight.

But, in the process I've learned to enjoy The Journey.
