Put A Better Band In Your Box With
Norton Music's User Style Disk #7
For Band-in-a-Box

Variety IS the Spice of Life

This is another all request disk. I keep a note pad on my desk, near the phone. Whenever somebody requests a particular style, I write it down. The styles that get requested most frequently get written next. This disk represents what you have been asking for.

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.

This may be my best style disk to date. Band-in-a-Box keeps getting better, allowing me to write better 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 the an 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:

  • 70's Disco 0 (#70Disc0.sty): For 70's Disco tunes like "I Love The Night Life" and many others with Synth Bass, Piano, Muted E. Guitar and Strings. Get out that three piece double knit suit and those Danskins, and let's boogie under the mirrored ball
