Give this page a set of musical notes and/or chords, and it'll tell you what chords and scales contain or are contained by that set (along with all the notes in those scales and chords).

Lots of good info here. Good find.


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.

I scrolled down to see how many upper extensions they handled (lots) but noticed something odd: a minor third is always shown as a sharped second.

For example, look at a simple Cm chord. It isn’t C, Eb, G but instead is C, D#, G. I wonder why.

EDIT: Found it. There is a setting to show only sharps, only flats, or both. Still, a bit odd that it shows both sharp AND flat, rather than choosing the 'right' enharmonic note.

The great feature is that if you enter chord tones (must separate by a space or a comma!), it gives you chord names containing those notes, including other notes. Good feature.

pghboemike:
That is a cool piece of work.
Would you mind elaborating for the benefit of the (largely) self taught an example or two of how you
(or any others on this thread) put this remarkable tool to use?
I can see how advanced composers such as
Mario or Matt Finley, David Snyder, or yourself might run into
theoretical applications quite often beyond
the scope of counting by fingers, (my method.) I have also been struck by how many Berklee grads, esp. the jazz ones, are so totally versed in chords.
Briefly, how can this tool help someone like me?

first i'm in no way in the same company as Mario or Matt Finley, David Snyder or any of the other fine songwriters who are members of these forums
though i do enjoy composing mostly instrumental original material using my ears guitar & tools like this

which is why something like this is valuable

the reaultes of entering Cmaj Gmaj Am Fmaj as chords for a song like let it be and may others



presuming you had these chords in your song in some order you could then use biab/rb to experiment using the scales and additional chord suggestions

if you enter the notes of your melody instead you'll get suggested scales and chords to go with it

Chord Identifier (Reverse Chord Finder) is also useful

Thanks for the information, pbghmike. You're modest.
I hadn't intended to single out anyone in particular, but,
rather, to illustrate the point. If I were to list the exceptional
talents associated with this forum, I'd still be writing.
The topic has had the effect of stimulating thought on
my part. Probably shouldn't go there, but, "How the heck
does Band-in-a-Box work, anyway?" The video that shows
how the same progressions may create different songs
provides a clue, not the whole answer. I find, sometimes,
renderings seem to contain the melody, with no
explanation as to how that could be. It's like they
have some weird Ai in a cage, somewhere.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
