About the Band-in-a-Box step-by-step book

Band-in-a-Box is a music program that automatically creates a musical accompaniment or arrangement, using almost any instrument that belongs to various musical styles. Many musical styles! Such as jazz, blues, rock, folk, country, disco, pop, and the like. With BiaB, we can automatically create solos in any musical style. We can create loops and riffs and print a song. We can find the chords of any recorded song, both in audio and MIDI format. We can add lyrics, use functions to automatically add a song's intro and coda, find new melodies, etc.

In short, the BiaB program is extremely extensive, so any beginner who wants to learn this rather extensive program encounters many difficulties right from the beginning. And the book Band in a box step-by-step is intended to bridge these beginner's problems.

The content is written extremely thoughtfully, as it introduces the reader first to the world of music theory, which is necessary to understand the creation and arrangement of songs. Then it takes us into the world of modern music. We get to know the expressions in the BiaB program. Soon after, we discover the first practical examples of working with the program. We learn how to add chords to a song and insert intro and outro. Next, we learn how to change musical styles and sub-styles and add and remove instruments. We will learn how to insert solos, how the mixer works, how to use percussion, and other synthesized and real, studio-recorded sounds. We will learn to harmonize chords, create loops and riffs, discover how to automatically find chords in a song, how to add lyrics and how to insert and change notes.

And so on, but slowly and gradually, so the reader can write and edit the first song in a week without any major problems.
