I've had friends ask me about Band in a Box and where they can get it. Of course they are looking for something free. As we all know Band In a Box is an expensive investment. It is worth every penny and I'm proud to own the software and love using it. I've been using BIAB since the 1990s and have spent countless hours creating music with the program since then. I remember when all you had was a Roland SCCI sound card to make the program work and it sounded great.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if new users had access to a Free MIDI version of BIAB. The program would be a stripped down version without all the bells and whistles (Real Tracks) but still had the ability to interface with Midi Sound Modules or sound cards to product songs. The stripped down version would come with a limited amount of styles and PG Music could offer Sets of Styles for purchase that would expand the basic program. This would introduce the program to whole new group of musicians and open the door for them to then buy the full-fledged version of the program once they get hooked and grasp the power and fun of creating music with BIAB.
Midi is just as popular today as it was years ago and the midi version should be programmed to work with today's modern DAWs.
I truly believe that PG Music could make this a huge success and help new aspiring musicians along the way.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT. Thanks Eric
