Band-in-a-Box for Windows
|
|
Is there a way to change the color outline of the current playing measure in the lead sheet display? The default is a navy blue which is hard for me to see against the black ledger lines. Must be someplace in the "Colors" options under "preferences" but I can't figure out which one. Thanks Jeff

I hope Jim Fogle won't mind if I quote a comment he recently made: "RealBand (RB) handles RealTracks differently than Band-in-a-Box (BiaB). BiaB generates the first few seconds of the RealTracks in a song project then begins playback. The rest of each RealTracks is generated as a background task while the song project continues to be played. RB will not start until all of each RealTracks is generated so the time that it takes for playback to begin is much longer when compared to BiaB."

With Band-in-a-Box®, Making Music Has Never Been Easier!
We came across this recent post, Music Making Software: Record, Edit, Create and Share Your Own Songs, which includes Band-in-a-Box® in their list of software you'll need to record and edit your own songs!
One of our favourite products, and one that doesn’t seem to come up much in discussions about music making software, is Band-In-A-Box from PG Music. This is probably the longest established and certainly one of the most popular music making software packages of all time. Already packed with features, the latest version has added functions that in our opinion make this an essential buy for musicians in any genre, for keyboard players, guitarists, singers, in fact any musician looking for an outstanding tool to make the most of their creative ideas.
