hello members

My name is Wojtek I am from poland. I will like to create electronic music, I heard band-in-a-box on youtube and make account here to ask you

is it possible to create electronic music (dance) by band-in-a-box? I use FL studio now for that, but I am searching something with more built-in content (loops, beats, samples, so on).

thank you for your help already!

greetings

With BiaB's MIDI capabilities and a couple of plugins you can do just about anything.

Here's a snippet I put together in about 2 minutes:

To echo what VideoTrack suggested, it's best to listen to those so see how well it fits with the styles you had in mind.

While BiaB is a great for a wide variety of styles, the main focus is on "real" instruments.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Guys, I want to create a home recording studio, and if you can tell me what equipment is needed for this and how much it costs, I would really appreciate it. Actually, I think I have musical potential and I really can create tracks that people will like. In addition, a friend recommended me a producer who discovers young talents. But I have a lot of work to do before I meet him. If you are interested, you can take a look at his blog, which you can find on razklinghoffer.com. There are a lot of interesting things to read there and you will be able to listen to his tracks. Anyway, I need to have a home recording studio to make my plan a reality.
