Chapter 1: Welcome to Band-in-a-Box!
Congratulations on your purchase of Band-in-a-Box for Mac®, the favorite of musicians, students, and songwriters
everywhere. Get ready to have fun!
What is Band-in-a-Box?
Band-in-a-Box is an intelligent automatic accompaniment program for your multimedia
computer.
You can hear and play along to many song ideas and go from “nothing” to “something” in a
very short period of time with Band-in-a-Box as your “on demand” backup band.
Band-in-a-Box is so easy to use!
Just type in the chords for any song using standard chord symbols (like C, Fm7, or C13b9), choose the style you’d like,
and Band-in-a-Box does the rest, automatically generating a complete professional-quality arrangement of piano, bass,
drums, guitar, and strings or horns in a wide variety of popular styles plus optional live audio tracks with RealDrums
and RealTracks.
RealTracks are audio instruments that replace the MIDI track with actual recordings of top studio Jazz/Rock/Country
musicians! These are not “samples” of single instrument hits; they are full recordings, lasting from 1 to 8 bars at a time,
playing along in perfect sync with the other Band-in-a-Box tracks. We have a huge library of RealTracks available,
including lots of Jazz, Rock, Blues, Country, Folk, and Bluegrass styles.
Best of all, you use these instruments like regular styles. Many of them offer a “simpler” option that plays a less busy
or embellished arrangement. We include “Direct Input” (clean signal) guitar RealTracks so you can generate files with
a clean guitar, and then, using your DAW (e.g. GarageBand), you can add custom amp and F/X settings using the
AmpliTube CS guitar amp and effects simulator that is included.
By simply choosing a RealStyle, you will hear your new or existing songs played by real instruments, with a dramatic
improvement in sound and musicality. You can even have your old MIDI styles automatically replaced with the
equivalent RealStyle (if installed). Moreover, the number of RealTracks and RealStyles keeps growing.
Many of the RealTracks have RealCharts; this allows you to see notation and correct guitar fretboard display, a great
help for learning to play from the masters performing on the RealTracks.
You can view and edit the Band-in-a-Box tracks in notation with optional Jazz chords and symbols. In the Lead Sheet
window, you can see multiple instrumental tracks or view all four parts of a harmony. Print out your finished creation
with lyrics and chords, or save it as a PDF file to publish on the web or to e-mail to a friend.
MIDI SuperTracks combine the editing options of MIDI with the human element of RealTracks. Instead of MIDI styles
based on chord patterns, the MIDI SuperTracks are based on actual playing by studio musicians.
RealDrums replace the MIDI Drum track with actual recordings of top studio Jazz/Rock/Country drummers! Again,
these are not “samples” of single drum hits; they are full recordings, lasting from 1 to 8 bars at a time, playing along in
perfect sync with the other Band-in-a-Box tracks. Hundreds of RealDrums styles are available, and EZ selection of
“DrumGrooves” lets you choose different grooves within drum styles.
For added versatility, you can add your own or 3rd party loops to any Band-in-a-Box track, or add your favorite
MIDITrack from any MIDI style to any track of your current song. The Mixer window allows you to quickly set
volumes, panning, reverb, tone, and patches. The Mixer floats on top of the current window, so you can place it
wherever it is convenient to make quick and easy adjustments to your Band-in-a-Box track settings. It features a unique
“Combo” slider for making changes to all tracks at once.
The amazing Audio Chord Wizard automatically figures out the chords from any audio file and imports the chords and
audio to Band-in-a-Box. Just load in any audio file and you will instantly see the chords in Band-in-a-Box. The Audio
Wizard also figures out tempo, bar lines, key and fine-tuning from the audio file.
With the Direct Render to Disk feature, you can save your files directly as audio files (AIFF, M4A, WAV), for use in
other programs (GarageBand, Cubase, etc.), or in Internet formats.
And much more…

System Requirements
− Mac® OS X 10.5 or later, Intel processor.
− Minimum 512 MB RAM
− Screen Resolution: 1024x768 or higher
− Hard Disk space: Minimum 400 MB for the main Band-in-a-Box program. More space is required for RealTracks,
depending on which package you buy...
− RealTracks & RealDrums: ~100-400 MB per set
− Pro RealCombos: ~8 GB
− MegaPAK RealCombos: ~18 GB
− Full UltraPlusPAK/EverythingPAK when installed to internal hard drive: ~120 GB
− Hard drive versions of the EverythingPAK or UltraPlusPAK do not require any hard disk space when run directly
from the external hard drive they are shipped on. A USB port is required.
− Optical drive for the MegaPAK or Pro version shipped on disc.
Installation
Band-in-a-Box is available on discs (DVD-ROM) and for Internet download. Premium versions are optionally
available pre-installed on an external hard drive. The hard drive version includes installation files that can also be
installed to the Mac® HD.
The Band-in-a-Box program installs by default to its own Band-in-a-Box folder inside the /Applications folder. Unless
there is an important reason to install it to a different location, we suggest that you accept the default location.
The /Band-in-a-Box folder has a clean look with only one application file in the folder - Band-in-a-Box. The rest of the
files are in subfolders.
The folders include the Drums folder for RealDrums files and the RealTracks folder for RealTracks files. If any of
these folders is moved or the files are installed in a custom location, the new location must be entered in the
RealDrums Settings dialog or the RealTracks Settings dialog so that Band-in-a-Box knows where to find them.
The Preferences you set in the program are saved in the Preferences folder, and this folder also has a file named
Intrface.BBM with all the program settings including MIDI and audio driver setup. If this file is removed to the trash
the program will open like a new installation the next time it runs. It will prompt for all of the initial setup selections.
This is useful as a “global reset” if there are system settings that have been changed by accident.

Band-in-a-Box External USB Hard Drive
Band-in-a-Box, RealTracks, and RealDrums are pre-installed on the portable hard drive. You have three basic choices
for how to run Band-in-a-Box.
1. Run Band-in-a-Box directly from hard drive.
You can run Band-in-a-Box directly from this hard drive, and not copy anything to your computer’s internal hard
drive. (0 GB disk space required.)
To do this, first run the “Band-in-a-Box Setup” installer located on the root level of the hard drive. This will install
the PG Music fonts on your computer, necessary for viewing the Notation Window. You don’t need to select the
option to install BIAB to your internal hard drive.
You can use Band-in-a-Box simply by double-clicking on the Band-in-a-Box application in the /Applications/Band-
in-a-Box folder on this hard drive. You can make an alias for it ( +L) or add it to the dock if you wish.
2. Install only the Band-in-a-Box program to your computer.
You can install Band-in-a-Box on your computer’s hard drive, but leave the RealTracks and RealDrums on the USB
hard drive. (10 GB free disk space required.)
To do this, run the “Band-in-a-Box Setup” installer located on the root level of the hard drive, and select the option
to install BIAB to your internal hard drive. Band-in-a-Box will be installed to the /Applications/Band-in-a-Box
folder. Note that you will need to specify a custom location in the RealTracks and RealDrums Settings dialogs
within Band-in-a-Box - that is, point to the “Drums” and “RealTracks” folders in the Band-in-a-Box folder on the
USB drive.
This choice is useful because it allows you to keep a backup of the factory Band-in-a-Box program files on the USB
drive, but save space on your Mac® hard drive by not copying the “real files.”
3. Install the full program with RealTracks and RealDrums to your computer.
You can install Band-in-a-Box, RealTracks, and RealDrums on your computer’s hard drive, and leave the USB hard
drive entirely for backup. (About 100 GB free disk space required.)
To do this, run the “Band-in-a-Box Setup” installer located on the root level of the hard drive, and select the option
to install BIAB to your internal hard drive. Band-in-a-Box will be installed to the /Applications/Band-in-a-Box
folder, like option #2.
You’ll then need to copy the “RealTracks” and “Drums” folders manually from the USB drive. They aren’t installed
automatically. Note that you only need to copy those two folders - “Drums,” and “RealTracks” - nothing else. The
Band-in-a-Box Setup installer will have taken care of all the other files.
Note that copying the RealDrums and RealTracks to your Mac® hard drive may take 60 minutes or longer to complete, depending on
how fast your computer is, and requires over 80 GB of free hard disk space.
Using the USB Hard Drive
When you plug the hard drive into a USB port, it should be mounted on your desktop automatically. Before
disconnecting the drive, make sure to “eject” it first. To do this, either drag the icon to the trash, or click on it and press
+E.
The hard drive may have a “Y” cable with two USB connectors on one end. The large connector is the main data
connector and needs to be plugged in. The smaller connector is for extra power, in case a single USB port on your
computer doesn’t supply enough power for the drive. If you are having trouble with the drive, and you have another
empty USB port, plug that second cable in.
Setup
Band-in-a-Box automatically sets up to default settings that use the built-in Mac® audio input and output, and the Apple
DLS Music Device as the General MIDI synthesizer. For many users, these settings do not need to change.
For users with more elaborate setups and additional outboard audio or MIDI equipment, Band-in-a-Box offers the
ability to customize both audio and MIDI settings through the Apple Audio MIDI Setup dialog and through its own
dialogs.
MIDI and Audio Setup
The MIDI and audio settings for playing your music in Band-in-a-Box are made in the Options menu.
Chapter 1: Welcome to Band-in-a-Box!
15
MIDI Settings
The first item in this menu is MIDI Settings, but they may not require any changes. We suggest that you start with the
default settings, and see the MIDI Setup section if you find that changes to MIDI channels, patches, volume levels or
effects levels are needed.
Apple Audio Devices and MIDI Studio Setup
The Options | CoreMIDI Audio MIDI Setup menu item opens the Apple Audio Devices and MIDI Studio dialogs,
which control the system settings for audio and MIDI.
There are two separate windows for Audio Devices and MIDI Studio.
Each window has its own Apple Help topic, which opens by clicking on the [?] button.
MIDI Drivers
Band-in-a-Box automatically detects the MIDI drivers installed in your system. The Options | ***Select MIDI Driver
or Apple DLS Synth menu command opens the MIDI Drivers dialog, which lists the drivers that have been detected.
Chapter 1: Welcome to Band-in-a-Box!
16
Selecting “Apple DLS Synth” plays your MIDI tracks through the
high quality built-in Apple DLS Music Device, or software
synthesizer. No special configuration should be necessary.
“MacOS X CoreMIDI” lets you configure a custom setup with
other software synths or external MIDI devices.
The MIDI Setup chapter gives detailed instructions for your MIDI setup.
Select Ports / Instruments
When MacOS X CoreMIDI has been selected in the MIDI Drivers dialog (Options | **Select MIDI Driver or Apple
DLS Synth) the Select Ports/Instruments dialog opens for your assignments.
Click on the [CoreMIDI Help] button for detailed
instructions and see the tutorial in the CoreMIDI
and Apple DLS Synth chapter.
When CoreMIDI has been selected as the MIDI driver, the selections in the Options menu change to provide access to
CoreMIDI features.
CoreMIDI Audio MIDI Setup launches the Apple Audio MIDI Setup dialog.
***CoreMIDI (choose ports) opens the Select Ports/Instruments dialog.
***Select MIDI Driver or Apple DLS Synth returns to the MIDI Drivers dialog.

Chapter 2: QuickStart Tutorial
Creating music with Band-in-a-Box is as easy as 1-2-3! In this tutorial, you will see just how easy it is to get Band-
in-a-Box making music for you.
Step 1 – Enter the Chords
There are numerous ways of entering chords into Band-in-a-Box. We will discuss five fast ways of entering chords:
1. Using the Computer Keyboard
2. Playing directly on a MIDI Controller Keyboard
3. Using the Chord Builder
4. Importing Chords from a MIDI file
5. Loading an Existing Band-in-a-Box Format Song
On the main screen of the program, you will see an area called the Chord Sheet.
Each of the numbered cells on the Chord Sheet represents a bar. In this example, you can see that there is an F6 chord
in the first bar of this song. Similarly, one row down, you can see an F6 chord in bar 5, and later in the song, a G7 in
bar 7. Notice the box in the first half of bar 1. This is the highlight cell, and it represents the bar you are currently
working on. You can move the highlight cell around using the cursor keys, or select a specific bar using the mouse.
Enter Chords Using the Computer Keyboard
To enter a specific chord, move the highlight cell to where you want to place the chord. For example, if you wanted to
add (or change) a chord in bar 20, you would highlight bar 20 on the Chord Sheet. Next, type in your chords. If you
want F7 at bar 2, type F and 7 on your keyboard and press Return. Notice that when you use the Return key, the
highlight cell moves to the second half of the bar. You could then enter another chord at beat 3. Chords are commonly
typed using standard chord symbols (like C or Fm7 or Bb7 or Bb13#9/E), but you can enter them in any of the
supported chord symbol display formats like Roman Numerals, Nashville Notation, and Solfeggio.
Enter Chords Using a MIDI Controller Keyboard
If you have a MIDI controller keyboard, you can use it to enter chords into Band-in-a-Box. First, you must make sure
that your cables are properly connected and you have the correct input drivers selected.
If you play a chord on your MIDI keyboard, and then press control+return, the chord will be entered into the Chord
Sheet at the current highlight cell position.
Enter Chords Using the Chord Builder
Press the [Chord Builder] button to open the Chord Builder dialog with a list of chord roots and
extensions.
Chapter 2: QuickStart Tutorial
18
To enter a chord at the current bar, select the chord root from the left pane, and then the extension on the right pane.
Pressing [Enter Chord ___ ] enters the chord and advances the highlight cell to the next half bar.
Import Chords from a MIDI File
Band-in-a-Box can import chords from an existing MIDI file with the Chord Wizard.
Choose the File | Import | Import Chords from MIDI File menu item or use the keystrokes control+option+I to open
the Chord Wizard dialog.
When the Chord Wizard dialog opens, press the [Open (Change)…] button to choose the MIDI file that you want
Band-in-a-Box to interpret the chords from.
To help Band-in-a-Box interpret the chords better, you can choose a preset for the song. Choose from among such
genres as Pop, Rock, or Jazz Standard.
Load an existing Band-in-a-Box format song
You can load a song using the [Open] or [Song] button on the toolbar. The [Song] is a split
button. The top half of the button uses the default method to load a song. The bottom half shows
a menu of different methods to load a song, and allows you to set the default for the top.
Here are the choices available for different methods to load a song.
Chapter 2: QuickStart Tutorial
19
You could also load a pre-existing song by using the File | Open Song menu item, or by pressing the F3 function key,
which will launch the familiar Mac® file dialog. Note that most songs will automatically load a “Style,” which we’ll
learn about in the next section.
Going to the next step …
Now that you have chords on your Chord Sheet, you are ready to move on to Step 2 – Choosing a Style.
Step 2 – Choose a Style
Band-in-a-Box creates backing arrangements based on the chords you type in, applied to a particular Style.
What’s a Style?
A style is a set of rules that determine how Band-in-a-Box creates music using your chords. By adjusting the rules, we
have created hundreds of styles that are appropriate for everything from Country to Bebop. Some style examples would
be Jazz Swing, Blues Shuffle, Hip Hop, Country 4/4, Pop Ballad, Waltz, and Medium Rock to name just a few. If you
don’t find a pre-made style that suits your tastes, create one from scratch using the StyleMaker. Making custom styles
with the StyleMaker is explained in detail in the full documentation.
Opening a Style
You can open a style using the [Style] button. This is also a split button, with the top half being the
default function, and the bottom half-listing different methods to load a style, and allows you to set
the default.
Selecting a Style using the StylePicker
The StylePicker window lists all styles with full information. It has a great filter feature for finding a perfect style for
your song by selecting elements such as time signature, feel, or tempo or by simply typing in a familiar song title.
You can browse styles by sorting columns or hear an “instant” preview by double clicking on the list. If style has both
MIDI and RealDrums available, you can hear both, and choose which one you want. This makes it much faster to find
the style that fits your song.
Note: The first time you use the StylePicker there will be a short delay while it builds the list of styles.
Chapter 2: QuickStart Tutorial
20
Step 3 – Play your song!
Now that we’ve entered chords on the Chord Sheet and chosen a style, it’s time to play the song! First we need to tell
Band-in-a-Box how long our song is, in what key and how fast, and how many times we want the program to play
through the chords, in what key, and how fast.
Framing the Song
To tell Band-in-a-Box where the start and end of the song is, look at the middle of the Band-in-a-Box main screen.
Locate the framing settings; there are three of them. The numbers (1-32) in brackets are the bar numbers for the
beginning and the end of the Chorus. The number 3 to the right of the brackets is the number of times the Chorus
repeats. In the example above, the Chorus starts at bar 1, ends on bar 32, and is going to play 3 times. You can change
these settings to play more choruses, or make the Chorus start later, for example in the case where you want an intro to
play.
Setting the Key
In the example shown, the key is set to C but you can choose any key by clicking on the key signature and choosing
from a list. If you do change the key, Band-in-a-Box will offer to transpose the Chord Sheet for you. If you’ve entered
a progression that you intend for a particular key, and then choose the key afterward, you should say no when asked to
transpose the Chord Sheet.
Setting the Tempo
If you know the tempo value of your song, you can enter it in the tempo box. The song example above has a tempo of
140. There is an even faster way to enter a tempo. Locate the minus key [-] and the equals key [=] in the number row
of your computer keyboard, they are usually next to each other. If you tap the [-] key 4 times at your tempo, Band-in-a-
Box will set the tempo automatically for you. If you tap the [=] key four times, Band-in-a-Box will set the tempo and
begin song playback!
