Norton Music's User Style Disk #10
for Band-in-a-Box

"You Asked For It -- Come And Get It!" A brand new, all request, style disk

Thank you all so much for your requests. I keep a notebook by my phone and computer. In that notebook I keep a tally of all the style requests that you have phoned, written and e-mailed to me. Here is the result of your "votes".

These power user styles have been written to take advantage of Band-in-a-Box's "Live Drum" feature, so the grooves really work. You will need version 7.0g or higher to use this disk.

Norton Music Style Disks have been recommended in Keyboard Magazine, Electronic Musician Magazine, The Micro Computer Journal, Music & Computers Magazine, Jazz Times Magazine, on the internet , the McGraw-Hill textbook, Multimedia Literacy by Dr. Fred T. Hoffstetter, and by word of mouth in over 75 different countries by musicians like you.

The best way to describe what is on this disk is to list the styles and post the demo songs. So here we go: Click the Demo link to listen to the MP3 demo.
Note: The audio MP3 files were recorded using Band-in-a-Box and the Edirol VSC3 Virtual Sound Canvas synthesizer. They were encoded at a low bit-rate and in mono so they will download fast, even for those with a dial-up connection. The low bit-rate results in low fidelity, but you will still be able to hear all the parts, and you won't have to wait long for the music to start. In most cases the demo plays only a few bars of the A section, a few bars of the B section, and the ending. In other words, what you hear is only a fraction of what you get.

Suggested musical applications for each style are written in RED:

16 beat #3 (#16beat3.sty): So many of you asked for more 16 beats styles. Here is a nice, funky 16-beat style
mp3 demo R&B-POP-DANCE-JAZZ-FUSION-CCM
Latin 3/4 [or 6-8 expanded] (#3latin1.sty): A Latin 3/4 or 6/8 (EXPANDED) style inspired by Tito Puente and Ray Baretto songs with Acou Bass, Piano, Guitar and Strings. While doing the Latin Fake Book (Norton Fake Disk #18), I was surprised at how thoroughly versatile this style was (and I wrote it!) Slow, fast, 3/4, 6/8, 12/8, if it was based in 3 and Latin, this style seemed to fit!
mp3 demo LATIN-JAZZ
70's Funk #1 (#70funk1.sty): Another popular request, 70s funk. Here’s one in the style of the Average White Band's hit, Pick Up The Pieces with E. Bass, Perc. Organ, Mute E. Guitar and Sax section

"In fact I will be recommending [in my new book] that people not even use Band-In-In-A-Box UNLESS THEY USE YOUR STYLES WITH IT! I'm not sure how you do it, but you make an average program turn into one on the "honor roll"! if you know what I mean. ... Your styles give it a more realistic, "live" feel.... thus the name of the program should then be changed to A-REAL-BAND-OUT-OF-THE-BOX"---- Maybe you should advertise.... "Is it LIVE...or is it NORTON? Guess that's already taken...Just a thought."Keith Burrows / Trumpet Sound Music Productions / Terre Haute, IN

"I just wanted to respond and say how much I appreciate the personal interest you've taken in me as a customer. I'm so impressed that I made sure to write this right away. ... Nowadays it is very rare to find business people who take genuine interest in their clients and customers. To put yourself in your clients shoes is a very admirable quality. ... Once again I would like to thank you and praise your business ethics. There should be more people like you. I look forward to making my next purchase from you knowing that I'll receive a good product and excellent service. Sincerely, ~ Don Barayuga"donafied@....
