I've been writing music for many years, and even though I've known about Band in a Box for a long time, I wasn't of a mind to buy it until recently. Even to old musicians like me, the technology involved in music creation has become increasingly important and in the end I decided, after watching several videos on YouTube, to throw caution to the wind and purchase it. I've had positive dealings with Thomson before, so I turned to them - I tend to go for companies I trust.
Boy am I glad that I went for it. It's infinitely better than I thought it would be, and you get an awful lot for your money.
I can't pretend I'm an expert with it - as I said earlier, I'm on the senior side of life now and not as quick as I used to be, but I'm having great fun with this brilliant song writing tool. it's great for inspiration and you can be up and running with it in no time.
You get the 64 & 32 bit versions of the stand alone application, as well as the VST version - which works superbly well in Reaper (and all the other DAWs) and it also comes with Realband which I haven't got round to using yet.
I just wish I'd bought it years ago. I've only scraped the surface of it yet, but I'm loving everything about it.
