PG Music announces Band-in-a-Box 2011

Band-in-a-Box has been around forever, I remember using it on an Atari ST, and now PG Music have released version 2011 of their popular, award-winning Band-in-a-Box intelligent music accompaniment software for Windows.

Each copy also includes RealBand 2011 for Windows – a fully featured DAW workstation with ability to generate Band-in-a-Box accompaniments and RealTracks.
“Version 2011 of Band-in-a-Box has over 50 great new features and enhancements and 101 more RealTracks for Jazz, Rock-Pop and Country. This new version offers huge advances to the RealTracks feature – the audio fidelity has improved and the RealTracks files are now 70% smaller.” said program author and creator Peter Gannon.

Band-in-a-Box is an intelligent automatic accompaniment program for your Windows or Mac PC. Just type in the chords for any song using standard chord symbols (like C, Fm7, or C13b9), choose the style you’d like, and Band-in-a-Box does the rest, automatically generating a complete professional-quality arrangement of piano, bass, drums, guitar, and strings or horns in a wide variety of popular styles plus optional live audio tracks with RealDrums and RealTracks. RealTracks are audio instruments that replace the MIDI track with actual recordings of top studio musicians and they are better than ever in Band-in-a-Box 2011! With the élastique Pro V2 time stretching engine by zplane.development, existing and new RealTracks sound better over a wider range of tempos and the file sizes are up to 70% smaller. These improvements are built-in, so you don’t need to do anything to get them working.

The new Band-in-a-Box App, available from the Apple App Store, works by connecting to your Band-in-a-Box 2011 Windows desktop version. By connecting to your Windows desktop version of Band-in-a-Box 2011, you can generate, play, and save songs on your iPhone or iPad with the same high quality RealTracks sound that you get with the desktop version of Band-in-a-Box.

Additional features added to Band-in-a-Box version 2011 include RealTracks Style and instrument changes at any bar, Soloist Medleys – solos that change RealTracks instruments during the solos, a Scales Wizard for practicing, which generates scales for any chord progression, new StylePicker Filters show you only the styles that match your search criteria, and many more.
