I'm a brand new BIAB user. I have no training or eduction in MIDI or acoustic recording. The closest thing I have ever done to the technical side of that is plugging a guitar into the correct jack on a 10 channel PA.
I just bought and installed the Mega Pack BIAB 2010. When I play YouTube videos or other sound music related thins online or play MP3 files with Windows Media Player they sound great as the computer is plugged in through a USB Audio adapter, which is plugged into two channels of a 400watt Peavy PA system with 2x15's and horns. My Boss JamStation JS-5 is also plugged into the PA and sounds great. Karoke tracks played with a CD player, or on the computer going into the PS System sounds great.

The only thing that does not sound great is the new $200 Mega bucks worth of Band in a Box, which sounds like a little kid playing on a $37 keyboard at WalMart. The melodist on the tracks I have tried sounds like a toy flute or a kazoo depending on what song I'm trying. I hope this is just a matter of my not having the settings configured correctly, but with all the other sources of music there were not even any settings to configure.

Would some of you experienced people take pity on an old guitarist and help me get this Mega Band sounding like a band, rather than a kazoo and cheap keyboard demo?

Thanks - I'll take all the help that I can get...and will be eternally grateful.
