Shameless self promo. Very chuffed that PG Music has included an integration with LyricLab in BIAB for windows 2024. Can’t wait to put this to use.

This isn't something I need but I can see that is should be a great help to many. The product says it's free, no catch, and the video is clear with no ads or wasted time. Great job.

It appears that you can type in your own lyrics and chords (in other words, without using ChatGTP) and create the file format that will import into BIAB.

Quite impressive. It certainly makes it particularly easy for anyone to create songs.

Thanks for the demo.

Hi Matt. There is a free version (LyricLabLite) that is free for life. There is also a premium version with additional functionality (including the ability to interface with Band-in-a-box)
Edited to add. Yes you can use your own chords and lyrics and format them correctly for import into Band-in-a-box.

Joanne, thank you for the video demonstration. LyricLab is very impressive. That is a great way to use artificial intelligence.

I have some observations before ending with a question if I may.

You mentioned in the video you wanted the song to be in the chord of "G" and selected "G" from a drop down menu. The chords printed in the LyricLab text file appear to be based on the "G" key signature.
However Band-in-a-Box defaults to the "C" key signature and "C" can be seen in the Band-in-a-Box key signature box. The "G" based chords were entered into the Band-in-a-Box chord sheet. Won't they change if the user changes the Band-in-a-Box key signature to "G"?

Hi Jim

Setting the key signature (and other elements such as style, tempo, feel and time signature) are “on the list” for future development. For now, the file opens in BIAB with “default” settings and you will need to pull down the “key selection “ and choose “G” without transposing.

I hope this helps.

Good morning Joanne. I've enjoyed giving LyricLab a tryout this morning and everything works as you demonstrated in your video except the convert to BIAB is locked. I opened LyricLab Lite free version. Is there a step I'm missing or maybe I'm in the wrong version?

I can manually convert the LyricLab song and save it as a text file and import that into BIAB and it appears to load properly but does not perform correctly. It needs to go through the BIAB conversion apparently.

Thanks,

Charlie

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
