My own band but without the band members ego's. Wow!
By Mr. Michael Hill
I have always enjoyed putting words to music. From whatever music source I would start singing my own lyrics. Once retirement came along I decided to try my hand at song writing. Big problem was I can't play any musical instruments. I used samples of music and sounds created by others but the music then lacked a professional feel. Also, I needed to provide music for my Animations and Musical Slideshows.Then I found Band-in-a-Box and it seemed just the job. My new computer was a Matrix Pro NERO by MESH. It has a AMD Phenom II X4 995 Black Edition Processor, 2GB DDR3 1333MHz Ram Memory and Windows 7 Professional.Installation was simple using the default settings. On starting the software, it was quite apparent that I had a learning curve ahead of me. Now, 5 weeks later, I have composed the music for one song and have another in progress. How it all works is beyond me, but the results are truly amazing. I am now at the stage where I can alter what the program offers me to suit my needs. Buying the MegaPAK meant I was also getting Add-ons which prevented me getting bogged down in what to buy.In addition, if a singer wants to record my song, I can also provide the Chords, Notation and Lyrics for their Arranger. The Audio Chord Wizard is really something. Simply play an audio file and it will type in the Chords. The website has easily found Updates and the Forum is full of helpful people. For someone as new to this sort of thing as I am, this Product is just the job.EDIT added 04/04/2011:I have now recorded 6 songs with others in production and all using this product. I have since downloaded, as an existing 2010 owner, Band-in-a-Box 2011 free of charge. The Download Files were many and HUGE, taking a working day to download with a 250kb sec Virgin Media Internet connection. But as the downloads worked in the background, it was no problem and the upgrade went smoothly. As all online upgrades from PG Music have. I don't know why, but I do not get update notifications, so have to check the PG Music website. It's still a great product!!! Though Amazon are saying today that Band-in-a-Box 2011 is currently unavailable from Amazon.co.uk.
