Chapter 9: Recording Tracks
Overview
Band-in-a-Box has a built-in sequencer allowing you to record and edit up to
two MIDI tracks. One track is the Melody track, the other is the Soloist track,
and they are identical in function. Most often melodies are recorded, but the two
sequencer tracks can be used for any type of MIDI recording – overdubs, extra
parts, or 2-part melodies. MIDI can be recorded into Band-in-a-Box in a
number of ways:
- From a MIDI keyboard or MIDI controller connected to your computer.
- In the Notation window using your mouse.
- With the Wizard feature using your QWERTY keyboard.
