![]() Or you can use BIAB’s Melodist and Soloist to create a more complete song before exporting. You can create only the backing tracks in BIAB (these, as we saw last month, are tracks 1-5, nominally bass, drums, piano, guitar and strings) and send the results to your DAW to add your own melody, solos and vocals. Let’s start by exporting an unfinished song to a DAW. There are many ways to gain more variety in music created with BIAB, both within the program itself, and by exporting MIDI and audio to your DAW. However, while these methods can produce some entertaining results, they generally won’t provide really polished songs without further work. In the first part of this review, we looked at how BIAB’s automatic composition features can quickly create and ‘perform’ a song. This month we’ll look in more detail at its composition/performance features and have a look at some of its educational devices. ![]() Last month, we saw that Band In A Box 2017 is an intelligent automatic accompaniment program, a powerful music composition engine, and a source of educational and practical tools for keyboardists, guitarists, composers and music students. We conclude our review of PG Music’s unique music auto-generation package by exploring some of the more advanced ways you can shape its output. The menu shown here is the file management and options window and includes sending audio directly to SoundCloud! The DAW Plugin button accesses the plug-in mode that shrinks the BIAB window for drag-and-drop action. ![]() I noticed that the Demo 3 track for the Boogaloo style is called "Side Winder"(guess what is supposed to sound like) and will try to use some of the same chord types and fills that it does (mainly 7(13) and some m7(9) chords).Īt this stage I can't really see what the App is for, but maybe that is because I am already familiar with the much more expensive and capable Band in a Box.Screen 1: BIAB’s Master track, or any single track, can be dragged to the Drop Station at the upper left to export tracks to a folder. It doesn't seem to be as flexible as BiaB in that regard and I haven't detected it using any substitutions. The Booglaoo style is OK but because the chords I want to use are fairly straightforward they probably don't suit the strengths of this App and the resulting loops are very repetitive. Initially I found it quite slow to build up a track but that is getting quicker as I get more familiar with the layout and functionality. It is usable on the small screen size but I am finding the same sort of issues that described. ![]() I downloaded Jazz Volume 2 onto my iPhone and have been playing around with it. If looking to develop improvisation skills or work with professionals who create music then wikiloops tracks can potentially give you that experience. Playing known tunes is OK, if that's where you want to wind up. Up to you if you post your rendition or not. Instead pick a category/genre and find a track you like. Don't treat this section like most forum threads by just going to the last track. It can be made simple by listening over and over, or you can challenge yourself to play along at the first hearing (real time advanced improv.) There's around 200 tracks there with more to come if people like/use them. You have the opportunity to be creative by hearing, playing and anticipating through the changes or modal backings. It's about being ORIGINAL and not just another copier. The challenge is to NOT have a known tune and the opportunity to fit your interpretation (melodic or otherwise) on to the backing. These are all originals categorized into genres with an example sax track and then the same without the sax for you to give a shot. For those who are a bit more adventurous and DON'T wish to play standards the Cafe (this site) has a section under "your sound clips" called "Wikiloops Backing Tracks".
