A couple of questions for you, Nic.


  • What kind of computer, and what interface? I'm going to guess a Mac
  • What are you planning on using it for? In particular, how many instruments do you plan on connecting to it?
  • You COULD use RealBand with it. Export your output from Band In A Box to RealBand, and then record.
  • Are you looking to get some kind of sound out of it, or do you have an external sound generator for the BIAB parts?


Unless there is a huge change in BIAB 2014 that I'm unaware of (I've only recently upgraded), Band in a Box still only uses two channels of audio input and two channels of audio output. You have 16 in and 8 out on this device. Anything above 1 and 2 is going to be a waste, unless you have 16 different inputs all going at the same time.

My feeling is a simple 2x2 audio interface is probably the best for the singer/songwriter. I would look at the Scarlett 2i2.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!
