Band-in-a-Box 2005
I am only a plinker and use the PC keyboard to make my fun music.
So it seems that the newer systems do not sound the note exactly when I hit the PC keyboard key.
My very old PC (now out of service) did a much better job getting the note where I wanted it.

(1) any tips to getting the notes right the first time when I hit a PC keyboard key?
My PC has both PS2 and USB ports and is plenty fast. Much faster than my old PC. but there seems to be overhead that keep the notes delayed a little too much.

(2) is there a way to make a Roland keyboard work like the PC Keyboard. i.e. black and white keys do not play there assigned note but simulate the PC keyboard? Step by step help please.

(3) How do I automatically align notes to the melody? I think I remember that my Band-in-a-Box 2005
could do that. Looking for tutorials on how to. Step by step help please.

It has been a long time since I have worked with all of this. I am now retired with too much time on my hands.

An remember, I do not know the terminology so it is difficult for me to search for anything.
I hope to be soon up to speed. Well, my speed anyway.
I am 69 and rather slow so be gentle.
