Sadly it is for ipad only and uses only "in house" Yamaha styles many of which were taken from 20 year old sequencers. It took best features from hardware sequencers and added many new ones. Yamaha, a few years back came out with software arranger as an app sadly for ipad only. Where you can mix various parts/genres re voice them on the fly etc. One of the best approaches into creating complete ideas for tunes fast were first introduced in Yamaha QY sequencer series (20+ years ago). It is very stable and fast, uses many style types from different hardware arrangers, but has a hefty price tag and many shortcomings. Having said that, vArranger (hi Dan) has more traditional approach compared to making backing tracks. But in reality there are not too many choices if you want to make backing tracks that actually sound good and not spend weeks if not months in studio and they take full advantage of that refusing to modernize their stone age program to make it robust and user friendly.
#Band in a box tracks 32 bit#
Overall I think their software engineers are ignorant boneheads.(not musicians who record stuff for real tracks, musicians are actually awesome) It is a "feature creep" 32 bit program that looks like something from late 90s, and feels that way too. It is possible to manipulate their tracks to make a tune, but not intuitive at all. Created songs at times resemble looong snakes because it lacks proper "breaks", "fills" and "bridge" parts. What I mean, they do not have a traditional approach like arrangers do, with parts for Intros, Variations, Breaks, Endings only imitations of them. BIAB has amazing sounding tracks that you can manipulate in many ways, but I think because they used a more universal linear approach in their "Real tracks" (the muscle behind it all) it is very hard to actually create a complete song.
