I remain a fan of the Band-in-a-Box app and I’m pleased to see their continued support for the Mac. This app lets you easily create backing tracks for any song. You just type in your chord changes, pick a style, and then you can start singing (or jamming) on top of it. I’m pretty sure the first time I bought this app was in the late 80’s.

They just released the 2021 edition with over 80 new features and loads of new content like 202 RealTracks, new RealStyles, MIDI SuperTracks, Instrumental Studies, Artist Performances, Bonus RealDrums “Singles,” RealDrums transcriptions, MultiStyles PAK 1, XPro Styles PAK 1, Xtra Styles PAK 11, and more. From now until June 30th, you can save up to 50% off upgrades, Bonus PAKs with 40 Additional RealTracks, MultiStyles PAK 1, and more.
