Chapter 4: Guided Tour of Band-in-a-Box 38
Record a Melody
Band-in-a-Box has 2 built-in sequencer tracks so you can record and edit your
own melodies or solos. These tracks are recorded from a MIDI keyboard (or
other MIDI controller) connected to Band-in-a-Box by your MIDI driver.
Press the [Rec] button to begin recording. This launches
the Record Track dialog box.
You can punch in, overdub, and record directly to the ending or the tag, and use
the filter to choose which MIDI events are recorded.
Pressing the [Record] button will start Band-in-a-Box recording what you play
on the Thru track. An audible count is played in prior to recording.
Once you have completed recording your melody Band-in-a-Box will ask you if
you would like to keep the take and if you would like to copy the recorded
chorus to the whole song.
