Hi everyone, I am new to Band in a Box and was just wondering if somebody could help me, as I have never used it before.

Basically, I am a song writer and would like to turn my lyrics into songs. I dont play guitar, but I know exactly how I want my songs to sound. I know the tempo, the melody, etc. Its just a case of putting the music in my head onto the pc.

Is this software ideal for it? Am I able to create a song from scratch, adding my own instruments and creating my own sounds/melodies?

I know this probably sounds riduclous to ask, but I have never used the software before, and I basically just need some software to enable me to create songs from scratch.

Rather than paying some bogus company to make a demo for me, Id rather create my own songs on my pc because I know exactly how they should sound. My songs will only be for personal use though, I dont plan on taking them any further, I simply want to create my own album from the material I have written.

Many thanks.
