Awesome demos ! I really love those new real tracks and crooners seems like having a almost mysterious way of getting adjusted to the style it will be used in...

Great sound from the new crooner horn section, Jareth, but they tend to upstage my own melody and improv. playing. (Can't have that.) Is there a simpler version available? Thanks.

That is what 9 horn players are supposed to do! grin
It is up to you to "arrange" them. They stand up and they sit down. Just like in a real gig.

And speaking as a horn player who does this, don't forget that horn players need to breathe every so often!

Yes, we plan on a simple variation in future free patch (sparser, less melodic, less notes).


Have Fun!

Producer: "OK, I need you guys to play a wall of sound with a 9 piece brass arrangement, but keep it simple, don't overpower the soloist"

Brass Section: "Right, but who is going to tell the trumpets?"

Wouldn't it be nice if each group of instruments in an ensemble had their own volume control?


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Since I first discovered RealTracks the"Hank" acoustic guitar strumming and fingerpick series have been the bar I measure each RealTrack by. Hank just seems to end up playing in almost every song I've worked on. I've got the feeling "PG Brass" will be heard on many User Showcase recordings not just in the immediate future but for years to come.

Way to go PG Music! Sounds like a homerun to me.

Attended a holiday party with a 25 piece orchestra. The brass section was fantastic. I meet several of them at the bar at intermission and told them they should be featured more in the arrangement. They immediately called over the conductor and asked me to repeat my request. Which I did..... grin

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
