Hi there ,
if I compose or give in a certain melody in BIAB , will BIAB
chose the correct chords automatically or do I have to chose
the correct chords myself ??
Which BIAB version should I buy ?
Thanks for your answer
Udo

Hi Udo - I think it depends on how committed you are AND hoiw much you are prepared to spend. I have UltraPlusPak and have never regretted it. If you start with PlusPak, you will not have enough RTs etc to keep you excited in my opinion.
Its best to enter the chords yourself. You CAN use the Auto Chord Wizard to try and find chords to fit your mel;ody line BUT if its only a solo melody the program will have little guidance as to key and nuance and so may come up with the wrong chords.
Regards
Ian

I bought the basic pro pack 4 months ago and I need lots more so can't wait to get the ultraplus PAK and then I can buy the 49 pack I believe.
The starter pack will leave you wanting.

Hi Ian ,
Thanks for your interesting answer.I play guitar and
a Tyros 5 and I wanted the BIAB to help me to find
the right chords.
I don't mean Tonica , dominate and Subdominante
but sometimes you think it is the correct chord but
its not and that single wrong chord leads you on a complete
wrong track if you know what I mean
Anyway thanks for your opinion
Cheers
Udo

Udo, If you play guitar, bookmark this website and look at where your fingers are on certain chords you are not sure of. It is hardly ever wrong. Enter those in.  BIAB is pretty good with 80%. Use this for the other 20. http://www.all-guitar-chords.com/chord_name.php

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
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."
