Frequently Asked Questions
We often receive questions about the differences between the regular version of Band-in-a Box and the MegaPak. This should clear things up...

Question: What is the advantage of buying the MegaPak over the regular version?
Answer: The main program is exactly the same, and the regular verison is great, but the megapak includes all the style sets. This gives you literally 1000's more choices when creating songs. It also saves you a lot of money if you decide to buy them seperately later. You also get more audio samples for use with the RealDrums and RealTracks features.

Question: What exactly do the style sets do?
Answer: The styles are basically a blueprint of what the song will sound like. Here's an example. Let's say you created chord progression and you want to choose a style of music for Band-in-a-Box to play it in. With the regular version, you would have the choice of a few different rock styles, a few different country styles, jazz styles, etc. The MegaPak includes many more styles in any genre you can think of. The styles in the MegaPak are more diverse than in the regular version. For example, instead of chosing a generic style like "Rock", you would have many varieties of Rock to choose from. You would get different instrument arrangements different time signatures, or even styles of popular musicians. This doesn't mean the regular version is lacking though. You can create your own styles and make songs sound any way you want in either version, but this version gives you 1000's of pre-made styles ready at the push of a button.

Question: What are RealDrums and RealTracks?
Answer: They are high quality audio samples recorded by professional musicians. Band in a Box used to only play back music using MIDI. Now you can hear your creations with real instruments not just a computer generated MIDI sound. The Megapak includes more of these audio samples than the regular Band in a Box package. This is a huge saving over purchasing all of the individual Real Disks, and it gives you more variety of sounds for playback.
