Band in a Box....Whats the Scoop?

[Terry]

I just want jazz and rock backing stuff.  Jam at home/maybe play out.

I don't want to ressurrect Leonard Bernstein from the dead (believe me).

A. What can I get away with?  Whats the cheapest version/package/date?

B.Where do I go/what do I do... to fullfill cheapness?

C. Are they any good/worth it?

D.  Are they just a hassle?

I use to use Jammer Pro software---kind of like "Band in a Box". You find your music style of their rock, blues, jazz, country patterns and insert measures, timing, cord changes, drum rolls, beginnings and endings. It's a good songwritting tool. Plate
