If BIAB catered to this backing tracks for toplining and contemporary songwriting genre, you could corner the market and reach lots of customers under the age of 40.ġ. The backing tracks provided by companies in this business are well arranged and contemporary-sounding but you are stuck with their chord progressions which are often limited and dull dull dull! The GREAT thing about Band In A Box is that you can use whatever chords you want and the arrangement adapts to them brilliantly. I recently did a course on Writing to Tracks (toplining). I think PG is missing out on a new demographic for which the program's functions are ideally suited (if they were modified in the ways I will suggest). I'm not going to wade through a thousand loops listed in alphabetical order. If I type in song title chart hits from the past couple of years, they are not recognised. There are a billion excellent jazz, country, blues and worship styles but what passes for 'Modern Pop' is a bit limited and lame. I know there are very good styles and very good players on the Realtracks but, even when using the search filters, I find myself wading through Euro ooompah music and old time stuff that is no use for writing modern pop songs. BIAB should be better than these because it can provide integrated styles but it is neglecting the contemporary pop and AC genres.ĭon't get me wrong. I spend more time now in things like EZ Keys and various UJAM drum and string programs.
But I rarely use BIAB for songwriting and, when I do, I generally lose creative focus and get disappointed, in the endless search for a useable style. I know how sophisticated some of the features are and I have thousands of styles.
I've been updating BIAB for many years out of habit.
