BTW, using Band in a Box in this fashion really defeats the purpose. My suggestion is to find a folder in the band in a box files that says FOLK. Under this are Irish, Scottish, English, and Children's folders. Find a song you know and like. Play it. Change the key, play it. Check the tempo, the time sig, and press the style button and go find a country style for it. Play that.

Figure out how to right click an instrument at the top, remembering the tempo, and go find yourself a fiddle or harmonica with a close tempo. Play it. Change volumes on the tracks. Right click on the buttons at the top to mute the thing.

Then go into the Styles file and find the 'example' for each style. Load that and listen and watch. Change the key, mute the guitar and strum along.

You'll soon fine out the last thing you want to do is use it to play someone's midi file from the internet.

You can also find all sorts of predone band in a box files using google. Just type in "Band in a Box songs" and go hunting.

Good Luck
