Agreed.... Band in a Box (BB) is such a great and comprehensive program and will do so many things, and can be used in many different ways.

Here's what I did. Read the manual first...completely through.

Next, decide exactly what you want BB/RB to do for you. In my case I want to use it to write songs and render the tracks for use in my DAW, Sonar.

As a result, I don't really need to use the myriad of other features in it so I simply ignore them. If and when I need to detect chords or something else, I look up those features and read about them.

It's very easy to become overwhelmed with all the things this program can do.
