At any point in my production process I can select a portion of the lead vocal (or the whole lead vocal) and generate and try out various harmonies. I have the ability to generate harmonies on the fly I can generate a Midisuper track on the fly and then change the midi instrument to, say, a xylophone.Ħ. This one is similar to number 4 where I am trying to find something interesting for the bridge but using MIDI instead of Realtracks. I have the ability to generate MidiSuper tracks on the fly

GARAGEBAND VS BAND IN A BOX PLUS

I can just insert a new track select those bars and try out any of PG Music's 3000 plus RealTracks without ever leaving my DAW.ĥ. Then I decide "it needs something else in the bridge". Say I am nearing the end of producing my song, and I have the vocals recorded and beautifully mixed in and I have the instrument tracks already arranged and mixed in. I have the ability to generate Realtracks on the fly

GARAGEBAND VS BAND IN A BOX PRO

I love this computer but it is no good at running Pro Tools!Ĥ. It is a Dell Lattitude i5 with only 4 GB ram running windows 7 Enterprise (what can I say except that my work are very reluctant to upgrade.). I have a fairly entry level laptop that work gave me.

GARAGEBAND VS BAND IN A BOX SOFTWARE

I could hardly even start Pro Tools up on my laptop and I certainly couldn't run any other software or even any plugins at the same time. This comes from an equally short and equally disastrous foray into Pro Tools. Gobbler is also the worst software I have ever come across (and I have come across some pretty bad software in my time) If you are making music sitting in your home studio on your desktop with loads of spare USB ports, then the iLok may not be a problem for you but for me it is a deal breaker. You may have guessed that I really hate the iLok. It takes up one of my only three USB ports, it hangs out the side of the computer, gets lost, gets broken. The iLok has to be the worst thing for a laptop user. I love my laptop (almost as much as I love my husband but that is another story.) and it comes everywhere with me. I do not want another device to maintain. I use my laptop computer extensively for my music production and I use my laptop for work.

This comes after a short but disastrous foray into Slate Digital plugins. If I am wrong please feel free to correct me.

Now understand that I have not investigated or tried out every other DAW out there but I am pretty sure that there is no another DAW out there that has or does all of these eight things. There are eight things that Realband has that I believe no other DAW has. I am going to go through eight reasons why I, as a dedicated Band-in-a-Box user, use Realband as my DAW of choice. The purpose of this post is, however, not to invoke an argument (but hey, conversation is good so fire away!) but rather to encourage new Band-in-a-Box users to give RealBand a try before spending tons of money on a new DAW. I am expecting a lot of flack for this blog post.
