FWIW I bought the Roland V 700 system quite a while ago and I like it just fine. I don't think the Quad or Octa captures are much different except they don't have the Fantom synthesizer chip built in. WSS

I am checking out Berklee now. Looks interesting. I may have to buy a DAW that they list as what they teach. I am watching some video now. Thanks you can use realband here is the link for your quad capture drivers and if applicable operating system update http://www.rolandus.com/products/details/1166/downloads/

Hey Sly, First thanks for your postings. Your enthusiasem is contagious and reminds me why I love music. Whatever you do, keep your joy. You're putting together a heck of a music production system. The Berklee Introduction To Music Production at Coursea is a great suggestion. It will open your eyes regarding the potential of music production and of the workflow needed to complete a song project. Good news is the class doesn't require using any specific daw. You'll have a good opportunity to learn how to do many common daw tasks in RealBand. Last may I suggest you take a look at ProAudioDVDs.com. David Wills has been providing audio training to home studio owners for a long time and has free and for purchase videos. Many manufacturers have used him to introduce new products to their new owners. He also has many videos on YouTube. Another good choice for video training is Groove3 Groove3 offers solid training in the basics of recording, editing, mixing and mastering. It also offers video training on most daws, but not RealBand. The best feature is the all access pass for $99. You can view any video they have for a year.

Thanks I am just putting together this all by chance. I heard about BiaB years ago but I didn't think much of it. But then again years back it probably was about as much as I thought. Because it was just starting out. But now years later the many years of RealTracks made something very interesting for me. I wanted it after I heard a lady perform in Second Life the virtual world...doing a show. And she always referred to her band during her show. It sounded like a live band. But I thought how could she get this band together on every gig she had? Seemed like a lot to do for a few dollars in tips for a virual world show. So I asked her about it. I said hey is that a real band you are playing with? She said no it is Band in a Box. Oh really wow...I might have said. I was interested right away. So I went to the site and I saw 2013 up for sale. I thought maybe a new one is coming out soon. I was waiting then for about a month for the .5 version. I thought I might get that one. But a couple months went by and that still didn't come out. Then I said well if it comes out I am not getting it, now I will just wait for Christmas and get the big update I heard about. So I went for it and bought the Audiophile. In fact I have the package here unopened. I receieved it yesterday. I think I might open it tonight. I didn't want to jump to it too fast. I wanted to wait a while building up my mind like a Christmas gift. Though maybe I will wait because I have to rehearse a Christmas show. I am doing a show tomorrow night at this North Pole venue in Second Life tomorrow night at 4pm. Ok thanks for the link to the training videos I appreciate it

Thanks I will get that brochure asap. I am looking forward to setting this interface up and becoming familiarized with it. What a great interface to have that technology to keep my audio levels right. Knowing how important that is I had to get this one. It was a few more dollars but I said it is worth it. I should get it in a few days.

I don't see an interface with that name. I found this Roland V-Combo VR-700 it is a keyboard. But I don't think you are talking about that. I am buying a keyboard maybe in a couple months to hook up to my Roland QuadCapture interface. See what I can do with it. I haven't been a pianst but I am musically inclined. I have written songs and can play some guitar. But I know when I create some nice tracks I can work on playing along with a keyboard. Finding the chords. Record some kind of arpeggio to it. Then maybe do another track with the bass notes. I might do it in three tracks. Sure a trained pianst can do it all at once but since I can't play piano I an do it a little at a time lol.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
