I really enjoy BIAB 2016 for Mac for three reasons, the MIDI, XML, and RealTracks. I love being able to take a find a MIDI track online and being able to input the chords right into BIAB . Second, I being able to input XML files right into BIAB, and I just realized that you can export a song as an XML file which is so cool. Last, I am really enjoying the RealTracks. I love having recordings of real instruments played by real musicians, giving me professional quality backing tracks. I have heard people who use backing tracks that were obviously either created with MIDI files or outdated keyboard sounds, and they sound terrible to my ears.

....... I have heard people who use backing tracks that were obviously either created with MIDI files or outdated keyboard sounds, and they sound terrible to my ears. FYI MIDI has not sounds. They were using inexpensive MIDI sound sources. More expensive MIDI sound sources can sound equal to or better than RTs IMHO and there is a lot more editing you can do with them.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

I know that, I use the MIDI to extract the chords and then use the RTs.

Hi Inlansoul, Glad to hear you are enjoying Band-in-a-Box! Have you considered using any of the MIDI SuperTrack styles? They're similar to RealTracks except its recorded MIDI data instead. You can find them on our Add-Ons page here: http://www.pgmusic.com/addons.supertracks.php?os=mac
Cheers, Joe

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
