The typical setup would be for you to take the lead.

Thus if you take a Standard like All of Me...(you can find 30 versions of it FOR Band in a Box on the net) and mute the Melody. I then have solos generated and print them out and freeze them which speeds things up. I mute that part too.

So I have a drummer, a piano player a bass player and guitar perhaps and I play along for 1 verse, on the 2nd I play the solo part it generated and on the 3rd pass I go back to melody with enhancements.

Works great no matter if you want Danny Boy or Satin Doll or I'm so Lonesome I Could Die.

The best is the fact you can speed up, slow down, and change keys or octaves with just a click or two.

As far as internal samples to play with I don't know, I suspect there is going to be some issue there, but that I can't predict. What I can predict is that if you get about 5,000 songs from the internet that play in the box, and use the whole with a mixer and some nice speakers or headphones, you have enough music to play for years.

I learned how to play horns using Band in a Box. I bet I would be no good at all unless I had the software, because it's easy to get bored. I've never wanted for music for years, as long as the box awaits...
