Does the software generate 'unique' parts/different every time or is it always the same patterns and fills over the chosen chords?Ģ. Right now I'm into country, rock and general americana music which all crave a bit of guitar and/or piano fluency to get it to sound right.ġ. I'm trying to learn guitar and piano, but I really can't play good enough yet to record my own parts.

Sorry for the long abstract, but I recently got my eyes on Band In A Box and can't get my head around if it's a product for me or what it can do for my process.

I think I start in the wrong end with too much technical detail and producing and I'm looking for some advice on changing that to get to the songwriting part. Maybe sprinkle a generic Ezkeys pattern on top of the turd to finish the job. The process as of now is that I lay down the drum part in a short amount of time and then spend three weeks screaming at a guitar VST after programming 2 measures that still sound bad, end up forgetting what I wanted to do in the first place and/or hate the song. A few years ago I got interested in making my own music and I've been on and off about it, the off periods have been due to some frustration and light burnout as I more often than not get stuck on details and technical 'issues' (due to limitations of my own). I'm a very amateur hobbyist that grew up playing the alto saxophone and later on picked up drums and percussion.
