PG Music’s Band in a Box is well known among jazz musicians as intelligent automatic accompaniment software that makes it easy to produce backing tracks on the fly. I have been using BIAB since the late ’90s and while the earliest versions only used MIDI, the modern version of the program uses recordings of real studio musicians playing real instruments (called RealTracks and RealDrums), a serious advancement in the quality of the sound.<\/span><\/p>\n

While it is easy to get a basic backing track going, Band in a Box<\/a> has a lot of features and can do a lot more compared to alternatives such as iReal Pro.<\/p>\n

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use Band in a Box for jazz guitar practice, starting with a review of the basics.<\/p>\n
