Band-in-a-Box

With Band-in-a-Box 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. Band-in-a-Box automatically generates a complete professional quality arrangement of piano, bass, drums, guitar and strings in a wide variety of popular styles. (Jazz, Pop, Country, Classical and more.)

Improved

• With bigger screen resolutions, Section Letters and bar numbers will display on the Chord Sheet (not just Section Letters).
• Band-in-a-Box can now record audio in any sample rate, instead of having to change the settings of the device before opening the program (the audio data will be resampled to 44.1kHz after recording).
• Audio Settings dialog added, which can be accessed from the general Preferences dialog. This allows you to choose your default audio track type (mono/stereo), or current track type, and which channels to record from (left/right/both). There is also a new option for getting a warning message when you open a song and the audio track is missing. The Audio Devices dialog can also be launched from the Audio Settings dialog.
• There is a new item added in the Audio > Edit Audio menu: "Convert Channels (mono/stereo)...". This allows you to convert your audio track from mono to stereo, or stereo to mono. You can choose the % of each channel to include in the conversion.
• The Audio Devices dialog now shows the streaming format specifications of each output and input device listed. This shows the number of channels, bit depth, and sampling rate.

Fixed

• Audio Devices dialog did not have hints.
• Old Mixer window was not getting updated when changing values on the main screen Mixer.
• File > Open Special > Open Audio was not changing the song form to match the duration of the imported audio file.
• When opening the VU meters window, it was taking focus away from the Pre-Record dialog.
• If Audio Edit window was open during playback, some of the controls on the Mixer would not redraw properly when being moved by the mouse.
• External resizes did not trigger the entire application window to redraw properly (eg an app like Spectacle can make a window fill the screen, half-screen, etc.).
• Big Piano was showing a 'CC' label until the user moves their mouse over the keys.
• Video Window button had wrong hint.
• Simple button had wrong hint.
• Email dialog did not provide option to attach AIFF or M4A Artist Performance Tracks.
• Adding a section letter from Notation window would not update the Chord Sheet.
• Section letters would not show on the Chord Sheet if past bar 64 (beyond the first page), and any such section letter would end up drawing on the first page (eg 'H' on bar 65 would display on bar 1).
• Volume changes (using Bar Settings) were not working properly for RealTracks or RealDrums.
