Why does the same song sound different in Band-in-a-Box than when I play it with Windows Media Player?
You may be experiencing one of the following: • If you saved your Band-in-a-Box song as a MIDI file that you are playing in Windows Media Player, WMP is probably using a different MIDI driver than in Band-in-a-Box. WMP will use the Windows default in the Control Panel | Multimedia -or- Sounds and Audio Devices. In Band-in-a-Box, you choose your MIDI Driver from Opt. | MIDI/Audio Driver Setup. • If you imported a MIDI file into Band-in-a-Box, you may be either using a different driver (as explained above), or you are hearing the MIDI file along with an unwanted Band-in-a-Box style. Disable the style, choose a blank style, or mute all of the tracks except the melody. Also, you may need to set the Melody track to be Multi-channel. • If you saved your song as a MIDI file, you may not have saved the songs from Band-in-a-Box with Patches & Harmony prior to doing this, so the patches are different then you expected.
