This is the objective of this course. I think PG-Music needs to have an over view course web page for absolute beginners on this topic "making the melody track such that it does not turn people new to BIAB off". Maybe this is the way to get that course I am talking about. I googled these two search strings ....#1 "how to make the band in a box midi melody tracks sound better" ....#2 "how to make the notation I enter into the band in a box midi melody track sound better". The above and other related wish list details are in this thread. https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=603048&page=1

+1. I should note that PG Music has two midi tutorial articles +++ HERE +++ and +++ HERE +++ but I agree a video about how to set up a soft synth that is not GM compatible would be very useful. There are a few excellent "introduction to midi" videos on YouTube but they are not orientated to Band-in-a-Box.

1. Midi Styles vs/ Real Styles How are they different, How are they alike. What must I be aware of when mixing and matching 2. Midi Tracks vs Real Tracks. Same as #1 above.
3. Using 3rd party libraries (Kontakt, Ez Drummer) inside BIAB
4. Using 3rd party midi tools (EzDrummer, ExKeys, JamStix) to"improve" biab tracks your DAW. Especially interested in this topic. Perhaps limit it to RealBand.

In an earlier post I linked to some PG Music midi tutorials. While they are not specific to PG Music, Band-in-a-Box or RealBand, +++ THIS POST +++ has links to a eight part video series that provides a comprehensive guide to using midi. If nothing else, the first video provides an overview that is invaluable.

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."
