PG Music Inc. announces the release of a brand new powerful sequencer program, RealBand 2008.5 for Windows®. Unlike other sequencers, RealBand combines the legendary power of Band-in-a-Box and PowerTracks Pro Audio DAW, plus PG Music's revolutionary new RealTracks and RealDrums, all in a single program. This enables users to create their own performance, combining their own tracks with generate MIDI and audio accompaniments based on input chord progressions. Packed with powerful features, RealBand makes it easy to produce your own song arrangements as if you were in the recording studio with top session musicians. Type in the chords, add RealTracks and RealDrums that follow the chord changes automatically, add your own tracks, and then edit and produce the finished song without ever leaving the program! Record up to 48 audio or MIDI tracks. RealBand 2008.5 is Your All-in-One Audio Workstation and Accompaniment Program!

In announcing the release of RealBand 2008.5, program author and creator Peter Gannon said, "RealBand brings a new level of ease and flexibility to anyone creating recordings. Record your own tracks, type in the chords, pick a style, and then add any MIDI or audio (Real) tracks to follow your chords — all in a single program. For example, type in chords to your song, generate a RealDrums track, record in your guitar and vocal parts. Then put on your 'arranger' hat and have some fun automatically adding RealTracks — maybe a guitar solo, or pedal steel background for the bridge."

PG Music Inc. has also released three NEW RealTracks Sets, bringing the total number of RealTracks Sets to 12, with a total of 63 RealTracks for Country, Jazz, Rock, Metal, Blues and Bluegrass! The newest RealTracks Sets are Bluegrass (Rhythm/Soloing — bass, mandolin, guitar, fiddle and banjo) and, Blues (drums, bass, guitar, harp, Rock Organ).

All the RealTracks and RealDrums are actual audio recordings of Jazz, Country, Rock and Metal studio musicians that replace the MIDI track. These audio recordings of studio musicians play along to the chord progressions you enter, not MIDI patterns or audio samples. Best of all, the RealTracks, RealDrums and MIDI styles work with both RealBand and Band-in-a-Box.
