If you have any arrangements that you would like to contribute to this effort, you can send them via email attachments to the email address below, and I would be glad to give honorable mention to your original arrangements in the song notes. I joined The BIAB forum out of desperation and got referred to Notes Nortons website where you can buy a disk with all the 625 tunes in The Ultimate Jazz Fake Book as. I have BIAB and am a real rookie with it.

With no intention of copyright infringement or financial reward, and only because I'd like to share what I've learned and created with others, I am trying to put together a fairly comprehensive library of BiaB backing tracks to make available free to all here on the Café. Posted: Sun 6:01 pm Post subject: Band In A Box Fake Book Disk. I found some of these doing Internet searches through the years, but have edited all to be sure than no melody lines exist. You can use everything you produce commercially.īe aware that BB has a moderate learning curve, but once you have your 'Ah Ha' moment you will find it a pretty exciting and powerful piece of software.ĮDIT: The PGMusic website has a bunch of great free Band in a Box downloadable video tutorials HERE.Greetings all BiaB users! In the last 10+ years that I have been using Band-in-a-Box to create backing tracks for various nursing-home and church gigs, as well as for my own home amusement (at my low pickin' level it more like amazement!), I've managed to put together over a thousand BiaB backing tracks, without melody lines, in both midi and Realtracks. It also comes with a huge variety of songs, styles, solos, melodies, that you can rearrange and fiddle with. Among other things, I loved the new Real Drums (there are now 20.

IMO, this is what makes BB worth the investment. Like every year in December, PG Music has released a new version of Band in a Box I have already downloaded mine and can say that is well worth the price (which, if you upgrade from a previous version, is really a bargain). The PlusPAK includes 2019 Band-in-a-Box and RealBand, sets 301 to 328 RealTracks sets (for a total of 202 RealTracks). These are live performances of riffs and licks and runs, etc., on a variety of instruments that BB seamlessly adds to your MIDI accompaniment giving your composition a very real 'human' feel. If you use Band-in-a-Box and purchased the UltraPlus PAK, Everything PAK or Audiophile edition in 2018 then the most cost effective upgrade is the 99 PlusPAK. Most of the analogue keyboards, like Yamaha, require a MIDI interface gizmo to work with a computer.īand in a Box is a great sequencer/composer, but only if you get one of the packages that contain the Real Tracks. It is the same keystation without the built in audio controls. There is a less pricey model 49e that I think you can still find on the net. If you play the piano or keys then you will appreciate the feel of the keys on this board. There are some real basic USB keyboards that are only 2-3 octaves and have no frills.most of those are $100 or under. It's a real workhorse with the right program. With programs like Reason and it's packages, you could use this keyboard to play instruments in an orchestra if you desired. It's likely that you could actually use the MIDI keyboard to play any virtual instrument in the program in real time, which may save you steps and is a real boon if you are a pianist and don't really know guitar.
With one of these, if you use an audio recording package like Band in a Box or Reason or the like that has MIDI support and virtual instruments, you can use this keyboard i n-program to compose. It is essentially a workstation specifically designed for doing MIDI sequences and composition. Electronic keyboards may be able to, but they usually have MIDI support for sequencing, so they may suit your needs as well.īut what I'm talking about is specifically a MIDI Keyboard.
