Hi everybody.
I have a beginner question. I would buy biab, but before spend that money i would be sure if i can create backing tracks to play with my guitar after. The meaning is to make a backing track for example, let it be, from the beatles, but i want to play the chords on my guitar. So the backing track contains, drum, lead and solo guitar, some other instruments for accompagnment, but no guitar chords. Is this possible, and or diifficult ?
Thank you all for reply.
Christiaan

Hi Christian, that's exactly what I bought BiaB for, and it's really great.....except if you want a guitar lead break to sound like the original you will have to work on that via other processes. At the same time you can add your own lead while everything just plays behind you. I'm rather keen on the idea not trying to sound like the original...kinda of adds your own feel to the song. Is it easy??? Probably I would have to say yes when you get the basics but there is soooo much to learn if you want to get involved. I'm a long long way from that but loving my backing tracks.
Wish I had found this years ago but buy as much as you can possibly afford, you won't regret it.

Thank you a lot for your reply. I am 63 old expat from Belgium, living on retirement in Bangkok, Thailand. My whole life i played the organ, and now keyboard yamaha psr s 750, but 3 months ago i bought an Epiphone SG guitar. I can read music notation, so i think it will go. Thanks to you i will buy the same pack as you did, higher is quit expensive. So, thank you very mutch, and hope to hear from you in a while.
Best regards,
Christiaan.

Christiaan, PG Music offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. With that in mind, what you could do it to get (say) the ProPak and give it a try. If the program doesn't do what you'd like it to do, then you can always ask for a refund provided it's within that 30-day window. Most users on here use the UltraPlusPak. It's the cheapest package that has the complete collection of Realtracks, Realdrums and styles. The Pro and Mega packages use the same program engine but only provide a selection of Realtracks, Realdrums and styles. http://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.packages.htmHope this helps, Noel

I play guitar and sing. I have created over 70 backing tracks with BIAB just as you are wanting to do. Proceed with confidence.
Does the noise in your head bother me ?

Hi Christian
I purchased BIAB back in 2011 as I was wanting a tool to practice with. After reading all the incredible things it could do and browsing a few of these forums I made the decision to purchase. I have not looked back it has made learning to play guitar again so much fun. I played the sample tracks until I decided to put some chords together, picked a style and made my first song. One bucket list items completed :-).. I did a few more and some of my friends and family liked them so I decided to upload it to Soundcloud and post it in the user showcase forum. I was so nervous thinking I would be ridiculed for what I had done. It was the exact opposite. The forum members invited and welcomed me in. I was offered some of the best advice to improve my songs from some of the kindest people I have ever met.. I now have 40 - 50 songs done and some collaborations with some other forum members.
I play everyday and try to visit the forums on a regular basis just to checking to hear some incredible music and hear how this software has made their lives more enjoyable.
Regards
Scott Collingwood

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."
