-==What is Band in a Box==
-[[About_Band_in_a_Box|Band-in-a-Box]]''' '''can create a background for almost any chord progression used in almost any music. It can then play that song back using the user's choice of one of thousands of different background styles. In addition to playing back the users' songs with built in, additional, or aftermarket styles, users can edit these or create their own styles from scratch or from existing MIDI files.
-Users can play the songs back and vary the key and/or the song's speed independently or even change the number of times any section of the song repeats. Each song will have up to 5 main tracks (bass, piano, drums, guitar, strings). Each track can have a different 'voice' and can be muted or soloed. They can also have limited EQ and FX applied.
-There are also Melodist and Soloist tracks. These tracks allow users to choose instruments and specify almost all details, Band-in-a-Box will create these tracks based on the users selections. The Melodist and Soloist tracks can be edited note by note in the Notation window.
-Band in a Box is a great auto accompaniment program for musicians who need accompaniment and don't have access to other musicians. Band in a Box is also useful for song writers who want to quickly hear their ideas.
