The instant previews sometimes play demos from the internet. Now you can save any file that is being played from the internet by clicking the folder icon and choosing a name and Save As location..

Instant preview of rendered file. When the song is rendered ([.WAV] - Export Song as…), a message shows and if you click on it, you can preview the rendered file.

MIDI files can be read from Guitar Pro® and displayed correctly on the Guitar Fretboard in Band-in-a-Box. You can then import the audio file, and using Audio Chord Wizard, you can sync up the original audio recording with the Guitar Pro® MIDI file. So you then listen to the original audio as you watch the guitar transcription (from Guitar Pro® playing in Band-in-a-Box).

  • There is now a Transpose Type setting. This is useful for single note mid-high pitch loops (sax, violin) where you can choose to transpose to the closest chord tone (triad or 7th) instead of always transposing to the root of the next chord. This achieves “Smooth Voice Leading” and makes a single note “root” loop play various chord tones and different notes.
