"Band in a Box is more like laying your hands on a musical instrument that is new to you than being like any other software I know about."

No, you likely won't be able to find out all the things that BiaB can do within the 30-day trial period.

Yes, you should be able to better evaluate the program and what it might provide that suits your needs, although the above analogy applies: The beginning guitarist may be able to learn two or three chord shapes and how to strum along with a song kind of rapidly, enjoying the instant gratification, but all too soon they will find out the kind of daily dedication, learning curve, discipline of practice and all the rest that goes along with becoming a master of the instrument.


The good news is that with BiaB it is a rather comprehensive situation that won't wear out or get old in a short time at all. The more you work with it, the more you will be able to accomplish.

For the Music Creator, Band in a Box can be like having a full cadre of well-honed Studio Musicians at your beck and call, ready to interpret your ideas with finesse. Just as when using live musicians for that kind of thing, their interpretation may or may not be what you had in mind - so switch musicians or change direction - to me the single biggest thing I had to learn in the early days was to not try to fight the program or force it to do something that the virtual musicians refused to do. As my knowledge of how to use BiaB increased, I found that many of those things could indeed actually be done anyway, but my own obstinate way of thinking was in the way of revealing the methodology needed to get the computer to do that special something.
