Finishing the Song Arrangement
Use the powerful musical intelligence of features like the Harmonies and the Soloist to add the final touches to your

patches, styles, harmonies, tempo, and meter anywhere in the song.
Add variations in the Edit Settings for Current Bar dialog.
Record a Melody
Band-in-a-Box has two built-in sequencer tracks so you can record and edit your own melodies or solos. These
tracks are recorded from a MIDI keyboard (or other MIDI controller) connected to Band-in-a-Box by your MIDI
driver.
If you want a metronome to play while you are recording, you can select it in the Opt. | Preferences dialog. You can
even have a visual metronome if you like.
Press the [Rec] toolbar button to begin recording. This launches the Record Melody dialog box, which prompts
you to set the position (bar and chorus) where you wish to start recording.
