We gratefully acknowledge the company’s willingness to work with us by connecting us with one of their own analysts from their documentation department. This has led to many accessibility enhancements, including valuable hotkeys, to be found in the 2023 BIAB update. We have striven to explain and show as many functions as possible in these tutorials, which are the result of countless hours of research, trial and error to achieve what we hope will be materials that’s informative and easy to follow.

This Bundle2 is almost 3 times as big as our previous bundle with 31 audio instruction files and 19 music files for practice, plus help documents. We are not rehashing what’s been covered in Bundle one--all new material. The Function Keystroke List has been seriously updated. Topics include:

* ABACA, let’s make a song form
* Recording melody and lead-in

* Playing and editing: part markers; the handy clipboard. The play function. Search and replace
* Microchords
* Multiriffs

Review - Band-in-a-Box® 2023 for Windows is Overflowing with Features!

Dennis posted his very thorough Band-in-a-Box® review recently, where he dives into some of the new features added with version 2023: Sound-Guy's Band-in-a-Box Review

Read his thoughts on the Download & Install Manager, partial track regeneration, Playable RealTracks, Audio Editing, the addition of SynthMaster, the VST DAW Plugin, and more!

"Band-in-a-Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is, without negative connotation, a monster of a program. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. No DAW can do some of the things BIAB does, while BIAB can do a lot that DAWs do."
