Chapter 6: Band-in-a-Box PowerGuide 66

You should select a style that is present in the Styles folder in Band-in-a-Box (or

the same folder where the song resides).

Note: If you want to mix styles with 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures you should make the

main style used in the song a 4/4 style. You could then change back to 3/4 at bar 1 if

you want.

- When you select a style change, you'll notice that there is a red frame drawn

around the bar line. This indicates that there is a style change (or other

change at that bar) found in the Edit Bar Settings dialog.

Tempo Change At This Bar.

Most songs will have a single tempo throughout, but if you want to change the

tempo at a certain bar of the song, then use this dialog box to type in the new

tempo in beats per minute. Or type in a relative tempo change in a range of –90

to +100. A setting of –50 halves the tempo, a setting of 100 doubles it.

Tempo can also be set by clicking on the metronome button. Clicking

on this button 4 times will set the tempo to your tapped-in value. The

tempo change takes effect at the beginning of the bar and remains

until a new tempo change at another bar is inserted.

Patch Changes at any Bar.

This setting allows you to insert a patch change at the beginning of any bar.

Type the number of the patch change in the appropriate box (i.e. Bass, Soloist,

etc.) that you want to affect.

Note: To save a song with patch changes at the beginning of the song you should use the

Edit | Save Song with Patches… dialog instead of this one.

Harmony Change At Any Bar/Beat.

You can insert harmony changes into the song at any bar and beat. For

example, start the song with “no harmony” then have “SuperSax” come in on

the bridge, then “Shearing” on the next chorus, etc. This is also effective when

used with the Soloist on the Thru part. With this setting, you can have multiple

types of horn section solos (i.e. Brass, Sax, etc.) or harmonized distortion guitar

effects for guitar solos.

Chord Preview/Builder

You can instantly hear how any chord sounds by selecting it in the chordsheet

and pressing Shift+Return, or use the “Chord Builder” feature to audition

different chords until you find the one that sounds best to you. In other words,

you can enter chords “by ear” without having to know the actual chord names or

any music theory. This feature also illustrates the differences between various

chord types.
