![]() For instance, if I want to develop an easy rock song, I won’t dabble into the metal selections, nor bossa nova, for instance. Generally, presuming I have a riff, melody or song idea, I will choose a ‘style’ in BIAB, based on my needs. To summarize the demo, there are a number of steps that I take when working with BIAB, and to get my creative juices flowing (I’ll get to the 2021 updates shortly). The demo below goes over the various ways in which I use the program, as a jammer and music composer. BIAB has crossed leaps and bounds ever since, with higher quality audio output, the annual creation of new styles (e.g., sub-genres of blues, metal, country, jazz, etc.) and, as important, the inclusion of RealTracks (e.g., rather than a MIDI piano, imagine an actual sampled grand piano). BIAB fits that niche perfectly, which is why it’s so popular among home musicians, but also music developers. Even back then I found BIAB sufficient to maintain my playing interests, since I had no aspirations of playing in a band, doing gigs, etc., but wanted a band in which to compose and jam. Band-in-a-Box (BIAB) has been around for about three decades, beginning with a basic Windows DOS platform (remember those days?) and working with MIDI instruments and signals.
