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.

Do you use Band-in-a-Box® with other programs on the list?

Cool article. Go Band-in-a-Box.

How did Finale and Sonar (now Cakewalk by Bandlab) get left off?

Oh, well, best kept secrets I guess. The pro channel in Sonar 2018 is awesome.

I do BIAB + Real Band + Finale + Garritan + IK Multimedia SampleTank3 + Philharmonik2 + Sonar + IK Multimedia T-Racks Max and Amplitube 4 + about 32 things by Waves, including REDD, J-37 and Vocal Rider.


Oh, and Reaper, for the ReaTune aspect.


How could anyone LIVE without these things???

My workflow is very simple. BiaB to Studio One Pro and sometimes, if I need manuscript, Musescore 2.

I extremely glad to see BiaB get some good reviews. It's about time!
