I've spent the weekend playing with Band in a box 2006. Got a little frustrated with it at times and I hate the fact that you can't seem to use it in 'real time' play.

I played the demo of one man band v8.0 and this seems to let you play in real time using my synth to change chords. Still it cuts out after thirty seconds because it is a demo. I am thinking of buying the prog if it does what I want it to.

Still I like very much some of the features on BIAB like the ability to record a vocal line and how you can export to midi so easily. I love the tc helicon harmony feature for the vocals as well. Very swish!

Am I missing something or will BIAB definately not work in real time? (Like OMB does).

I am going to check out Jammer live and I assume by the name that I will be able to use it in real time?

Sorry for all the questions but I am green when it comes to this subject (and not just this subject truth be told ). I was going to go out and buy an arranger to compliment my Roland Synth (and probably still will) but for now I am happy exploring these new possibilities!

Thanks in advance for any advice.
Best wishes

Just in case it makes a difference I am using the Roland synth hooked up to the mixer and then to the pc via m-audio audiophile card and also using the synth as the midi sound engine (GM2).
