How Much Do You Know About Band-in-a-Box?
Let us see how well you know the features and capabilities of Band-in-a-Box.
What do the yellow tracks in the Band-in-a-Box mixer mean?
The green tracks are RealTracks, which are real audio samples recorded in a top-class studio with world-class musicians. This is the real value of using Band in a Box to make backing tracks or in your original song (in my opinion). Realtracks sound like real musicians because they are real musicians! The yellow tracks are midi and the blue ones are super midi.

What is the main difference between the Ultra Pak and the Pro Pak?
The real value of Band-in-a-Box (in my opinion) is the Realtracks and the RealStyles. The Pro version is the "entry level" version of the program and comes with 300 RealTracks and 100 RealStyles. The UltraPak has over 3000 ReaklTracks and enough RealStyles to keep you creatively engaged for the rest of your life! To give you an idea, the Pro version takes up around 13 Gigs of disc space while the Ultra Pak is 120 Gigs!
Band-in-aBox is one of the few software products that offers you identical functionality between the versions. The main difference is in the number of RealTracks and RealStyles that you are getting.
If you are thinking of an upgrade, visit https://www.joannecooper.co.za/ and upgrade to the UltraPak from any version of Band-in-a-Box for only $269 (plus a few freebies thrown in)

Band in a box can be described as
Yes, Band-in-a-Box is truly a wonderful tool! It can be used as a DAW (Digital Audio Work Station) since nobody can really agree on the appropriate definition of a DAW, we can safely say it is indeed a DAW. It is also a music creation package (obviously). It is also a sequencer (since it can record, edit, and playback music). Lastly, it is also a music player, as it wouldn't make sense if we could record and edit but not actually "play" the music! You might be thinking this is a trick question and you would be right. A multiple-choice quiz is just not a multiple-choice quiz without at least one trick question!
