Hi, not sure if this post belongs here but I was recommended a software called Band in a box to use for practices arpeggios. Anyone here used it before and know where I can find tutorials? Also, where I can get a free download? Thanks Firstly, welcome. From the help: "Arpeggios are a musical technique where the notes of a chord are played individually, rather than all at once. They are commonly used in various genres of music to add texture and movement to a piece. In Band-in-a-Box, you can create arpeggios using the Soloist menu (Chapter 14) or by manually entering the chord progression (Chapter 6). Additionally, you can use the Melody menu to generate arpeggiated melodies. For more detailed information on how to create arpeggios in Band-in-a-Box, you can refer to Chapter 14: User Programmable Functions and Chapter 6: Making Songs in the Band-in-a-Box documentation." The 3023 version states this: "Chord Track Added Chord track is added, for use with a VST (e.g., arpeggiators want a chord track) or for simple “pad” (held chords) tracks. Chord track can be generated on any track. Specifying note range is required. There is an option to always put a chord track on a specified track (e.g., Utility track #16). Specific MIDI SuperTracks are added that generate a simple chord track (triads/7ths) or a chord track including 9ths/13ths. Adding these MIDI SuperTracks to your track will write a chord track in the range set, for use with arpeggiators or other VST’s wanting a chord track. With each play a new chord track is written. To do this, open the Select MIDI SuperTracks and choose one that has “Arpeggio” in the name. " There are no free downloads to my knowledge, however, there is a 30 day money-back guarantee if you purchase, shown on this page

Also, where I can get a free download? Thanks PGMusics own tutorials are +++ here (text) +++ or +++ here (videos) +++ . Another excellent resource for learning how BIAB works are Henry Clarke's video tutorials +++ here +++. Personally I prefer Henry's for many things, perhaps as I think they're done more from a user's perspective than the company's perspective. YMMV.
Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful. Kawai MP6, Korg M50, Ui24R, Saffire Pro 40. AVL:MXE Linux; Windows 11; Win8.1: Scarletts BIAB2022 UltraPAK, Reaper, a bunch of stuff.

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."
