becomes a four-trick pony.

. Under the hood Jammer is immensely complicated, in fact almost too complicated, I bought Jammer and BIAB at the same time in the 1990's and so have spent many, many hours exploring both. Band In A Box is INDISPENSIBLE and has helped me turn some of my 400+ songs into music. (Some people on here disagreed with my use of the word "music" as their comments showed with my earlier attempts. )
Jammer, at first, was not even a 4 trick pony, more like a one legged cross-eyed mule but after many, and I mean, many hours the deeper I dug the more I discovered. I was the "computer-music geek" in a few studios for 7+ years so that gave me plenty of time to mess around, coffee being my choice of relaxation. I do not use the Jammer styles tho', I use the musicians, but every song was/is at least 75% BIAB

Band In A Box however was a Pedigree Stallion, to continue the analogy, from day 1 and still continues to amaze me with what it can do. I haven't even scratched the list of styles as there are many I haven't even listened to the demos.

I only use MIDI and with a little lateral thinking BIAB can produce STUNNING results. The "Freeze" facility and the sequencer on the Melody and Solo tracks mean I can end up with 16 tracks to play with. One example of my weird way of working is to let the Melody/Solo Maker write a simple "tune" with the Jacobass, 37 I think, harmony and voila one funky bass part.Takes a few goes tho'
