Put A Better Band In Your Box With Norton Music's User Style Disk #8 For Band-in-a-Box

The Grooviest Style Disk Norton Music Has Made To Date! Norton Music's Power User Style Disk #8 utilizes the live drum feature of Band-in-a-box version 7.0g. Finally, a full general MIDI drum set is available in the stylemaker ... and the drum set is no longer quantized! That makes this disk The Grooviest style disk Norton Music has made to date! 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. As most of my customers know, I keep a list of style requests on my desk. The styles on this disk represent the ones that I had the most requests for. Keep those requests coming, I love to hear from you. 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: 16 beat Ballad 1 (#16bbal1.sty): (16 beat Ballad 1) A 70's - '90's 16 beat ballad style with Fretless Bass, Synth Voices and both Acoustic and Rhodes piano, reminiscent of Every Time You Go Away H.D.demo POP - ROCK - R&B - SmoothJAZZ - GOSPEL - CCM 16 Beat 1 (#16beat1.sty): A light, funky 16 Beat, a little busier than #16bbal1.sty.

"Norton has outdone himself with a new styles disk that grabs you by the imagination... The real-time drums and percussion have to be experienced to be believed!" ~ Steve Cox, Memphis, TN

My favorite Birthday present this year? A Bob Norton styles disk for my Band-In-The-Box program. Your styles disks bring the sounds generated by Band-In-The-Box to a new level. Canned music without the can. As a composer and a musician, I find that I am pleased with the sounds that come out. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking the time to put your musical expertise into a form that can be utilized by others . . . and especially me. Thanks! ~ John Carlile - isadora@ [domain omitted to avoid spam]
