QuickStart Tutorial for Band-in-a-Box 2011 for Windows
Welcome to BB 2011 for Windows! We’ve been working hard on new features. This tutorial will be a quick tour
around the program, to show you some of the newest features. This tutorial assumes that you are already familiar
with previous versions of Band-in-a-Box.
First off, we’ve made big improvements to the sounds of RealTracks and RealDrums. They sound much better over
a wider range of tempos. To hear the improvements, load in a song with RealTracks (there are lots in the Real
Tracks Demos folder). Start the song playing, and then change the tempo as the song plays. Notice how the sound
is much more natural over a wide range of tempos.
Next, if you have an iPhone, you get the Band-in-a-Box iPhone app, and use it along with BB 2011. To do this, go
the App Store, and download the Band-in-a-Box app.
Then, on the Windows desktop machine, make sure that the Band-in-a-Box Server app is running. If it is running,
you will see its icon (a musical note) in the system tray, and when you mouse over, it will say Band-in-a-Box
Server. If it isn’t running, then run Band-in-a-Box, choose menu-Windows-BB2Go, and choose “Run Band-in-a-
Box Server Now.” If you have Firewall or Anti-Virus programs, they will likely produce some warning when the
server is run for the first time. This is because the Server contacts a program (iPhone BB) outside of your computer.
So ignore the warnings, and reply ‘yes’ if it asks you to grant permissions to Band-in-a-Box Server.
