Check out our latest video, which video demonstrates the new Audio Harmonies feature in the Audio Edit Window of Band-in-a-Box® 2018:
The video was made on the Mac platform, but all features are also applicable in the Windows version.
New Feature: Audio Harmonies
Harmonize the Audio track with up to 4 voices. You can choose one of the 4 harmonizing modes.
The "Chords" mode will harmonize the audio based on the chords in your song. Choose a type of harmony from the "Harmony type" option. Choose either the intelligent mode, which allows you to select the number of voices, or one of the Band-in-a-Box® harmony presets.
The "Melody track" mode will add voices (up to 4 voices) to the audio, based on melodies in the Melody track.
The "Soloist track" mode will add voices (up to 4 voices) to the audio, based on melodies in the Soloist track.
The "Fix Tuning" mode will analyze the Audio track and correct out-of-tune notes according to the key of your song.
The Fix Tuning feature analyzes the Audio track and correct out-of-tune notes in the selected region according to the key of your song. For example, in the key of C, if a C# is detected, then it will be transposed down to C or up to D depending on which one is closer. You can use the Auto-Transcribe feature to transcribe the Audio track to the Melody or Soloist track as MIDI data.
You can use the Auto-Transcribe feature to transcribe the audio data to the Melody or Soloist track as MIDI data.
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."
