You Can Put A Better Band In Your BoxWith Norton Music's Critically Acclaimed User Style Disks |
Norton Music's User Style Disks are completely different
from the ones that came with Band-in-a-Box. |
---|
PG Music's Band-in-a-Box program is an excellent auto-accompaniment program. Many musicians use it as a practicing tool, a sequencing tool, and some even use it as a working tool (playing gigs while using the Band-in-a-Box program as their rhythm section). The original "built- in" styles were quite confining and musically limiting, so PG Music responded to popular demand by upgrading the Band-in-a-Box program to allow musicians to program and edit their own User Styles. The up side of this is that the number of rhythms available in your Band-in-a-Box is virtually limitless. The down side of this is the process of writing your own User Style is very time consuming. Writing anything but the simplest of User Styles also requires extensive music theory and arrangement skills. Like synthesizer programming and sampler looping, most musicians simply do not have the time to program good Band-in-a-Box User Styles. If you are like the majority of musicians, you too would rather spend your time making great music than programming. That is where third party programming comes in. The third party programmer usually approaches the product in his or her own individual way, and comes up with ideas that the mother company never even thought of. Often, the third party software is even better than the software the factory provides. NORTON MUSIC is proud to be the number one, third party programmer for Band-in-a-Box. My name is Bob "Notes" Norton. I personally wrote all the styles on Norton Music's User Style Disks. Since the day that I introduced the first disk (on Band-in-a-Box version 4.0), I have received numerous letters, faxes, and phone calls from people from all over the world who purchased their disk, telling me how much they enjoyed these refreshing new styles, and asking me to write styles for newer versions of Band-in-a-Box. Before I go any further, I would like to thank all of you for your kind words, enthusiasm, encouragement, and your support.
