This major new upgrade to Band-in-a-Box includes over 50 new features! We've
added a full featured digital audio track, so you can add live vocals or guitar
playing to your song. There's also an intelligent style selection wizard which
shows you what styles would work best in your song, highlighting all styles that
have a similar tempo, genre, and feel. Guitarists will love the guitar
enhancements, tablature display, and a great automatic feature that creates a pro
quality guitar chord solo to any melody, displayed perfectly on the guitar
fretboard. There's a new
Big Lyrics Window
with selectable font and size, and a
Big Piano Window
that displays a piano with large size keys and optional note
names. And much more…Read on for details!
There have been many improvements and added features in Version 9.0 for
Windows. People familiar with the previous versions of Band-in-a-Box will be
pleased to know that we have kept the same functionality of our previous
releases. All of the new features are optional and don't interfere with familiar
methods of using the program. All songs, styles etc. are completely compatible
with previous versions, so that you can upgrade without losing any of your
existing work.
