Put A Better Band In Your Box With Norton Music's User Style Disk #13 For Band-in-a-Box

An ALL NEW -- ALL REQUEST -- ALL VARIETY -- User Style Disk You Asked For It -- You Got It!!! I keep a list of all the requests I get and this disk represents the currently most frequently asked for styles. There is an old entertainer's saying, "If you stand on stage long enough, the public will tell you what they want to hear." Well, I've been "on stage" writing styles for Band-in-a-Box ever since the old BiaB/MS-DOS/Mac/Atari days (the early 1990s), and you have been telling me what you want. This is a current collection of the most commonly requested styles. All the styles on this disk take advantage of the Band-in-a-Box LiveDrums feature for styles that really groove. In addition, most of the styles on this disk take advantage of the Guitar Macros introduced in version 10 of Band-in-a-Box. This results in more realistic sounding guitar parts using strumming techniques, finger-picking techniques and real guitar chord voicing! Norton Music Style Disks have been recommended in Keyboard Magazine, Electronic Musician Magazine, The Micro Computer Journal, Music & Computers Magazine, Jazz Times Magazine, on the internet , the McGraw-Hill textbook, Multimedia Literacy by Dr. Fred T. Hoffstetter, and by word of mouth in over 75 different countries by musicians like you. Check out the useability, versatility and musicality of these new styles! The best way to describe what is on this disk is to list the styles and post the demo songs. So here we go: Click the Demo link to listen to the MP3 demo. Note: The audio MP3 files were recorded using Band-in-a-Box and the Edirol VSC3 Virtual Sound Canvas synthesizer. They were encoded at a low bit-rate and in mono so they will download fast, even for those with a dial-up connection. The low bit-rate results in low fidelity, but you will still be able to hear all the parts, and you won't have to wait long for the music to start. In most cases the demo plays only a few bars of the A section, a few bars of the B section, and the ending. In other words, what you hear is only a fraction of what you get. Suggested musical applications for each style are written in RED: 12-8 Rock (#12-8rok.sty): A nice 6/8 or 12/8 rock shuffle featuring Electric Bass, Piano, Distorted Guitar Muted Guitar. Works great for Heartache Tonight (Eagles) H.D. mp3 demo ROCK-COUNTRY-R&B-GOSPEL-CCM 60s Soul #1 (#60soul1.sty): Nice, slightly funky late 60s-00s soul music style featuring Electric Bass, Bright Piano, Jazz Guitar and Percussive Organ. The demo song is I Was Made To Love Her (Stevie Wonder) HD.demo ROCK-POP-R&B-CCM 70s Disco #3 (#70disc3.sty): They said Disco would die. Judging from the multitude of requests I get, they were wrong! Here is a great 1970s Disco style for those "get under the mirrored ball" classics with Electric Bass, Bright Piano, Muted Guitar and Strings. Works for Disco Inferno (Trammps), Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now (McFadden & Whitehead) and others mp3 demo DISCO-DANCE-SmoothJAZZ 70s Soul #1 (#70soul1.sty): A 1970s Soul/Rock crossover style with Electric Bass, Piano, Clean Guitar and Brass. Works great for Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye (Steam) mp3 demo ROCK-SOUL-R&B-SmoothJAZZ-GOSPEL-modernC&W-CCM Big Band #2 (#b_band2.sty): Big Band Jazz has become a classic American art form that still lives. This one is done in the style of the Count Basie Band (sans piano - sorry, not enough tracks in BiaB) with Bass, Sax Section, Jazz Guitar & Brass. Great for Shiny Stockings (Basie) I Ain't Got Nothing But The Blues (Ellington) Corner Pocket (Basie - Manhattan Transfer) Orange Colored Sky (Natalie Cole - Nat, too!) mp3 demo JAZZ-2000sRetroSWING Bossa~4 [with brushes] (#bossa~4.sty): After a few years without any, I've suddenly gotten a lot of Bossa Nova requests.

Works fine for I Was Made To Lover Her, Superstition (Stevie Wonder) and others mp3 demo POP-ROCK-FUSION-CCM Gospel #4 (#gospel4.sty): A Gospel style with a funky, almost fatback A section & a swinging up-beat, two-beat B style with Bass, Piano, M.Guitar & Hammond Organ mp3 demo GOSPEL-R&B-ROCK Gospel Blues #1 (#gosblu1.sty): This 6/8 (EXPANDED in 3/4) style has been used in so many different kinds of music, I didn't really know what to call it. Although it is found in Rock, Blues, Country and other forms of music, it's roots are in the African American church, so I settled on Gospel/Blues. This one features Acoustic Bass, Piano, Clean Guitar & "Hammond" Organ. WOrks wonderfully for With A Little Help From My Friends (Joe Cocker Version) mp3 demo GOSPEL-ROCK-R&B-modernCOUNTRY-CCM Gospel Blues #2 (#gosblu2.sty): Another out of the church, through the blues to end up in Rock and Country music style. This rocking, swinging Gospel/Rock features Acoustic Bass, Piano, Clean Guitar & Percussive Organ.

Among the thousands of songs this will work on, We Got The Beat (Go-Gos) is one of them ROCK-POP-COUNTRY-CCM Long Cool Woman #1 [In a Black Dress] (#l_c_wmn.sty): Similar to the Hollies hit, "Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress)" with Acoustic Bass, Piano, Acoustic Guitar and Distorted Guitar. The demo song is (what else?) Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress) (The Hollies) mp3 demo ROCK-COUNTRY-CCM Piano Jazz #1 (#pnojz~1.sty): Nothing but piano (3 channels) and a brushed drum set to make you sound like a great jazz piano player for almost any jazz standard or swing tune.

...I installed them about 10:30 or 11, and have been playing along with them for the past 4 hours. Before I head off to catch a few hours sleep, I just wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed the songs and what a great job you did with the styles. I know you've probably heard it before, but thanks for the great job!" ~ Rob Fish, Powell, Ohio

"Thank you very much for your fast deliverance. I just installed your styles and they work very nice. I just have to tell you that I couldn't imagine that Band-in-a-Box could sound like that. It's a great pleasure to work with these sounds." ~ Alfred Niederhofer, Regensburg, Germany
