08:51 PM 
PG Music recently released Band in a Box 2008.5 with a number of new features focused on their RealDrums and RealTracks technology. RealTracks and Realdrums now take up 1/8 the space that they used to take since they now use compressed WMA files instead of WAV files. RealTracks also generate faster and have a wider tempo range. They''ve added "RealStyles" which allow you to use audio recordings for all instruments in a style instead of MIDI. Other new features include the ability for soloist to solo over different chords than the song, crescendo soloing, and the ability to save a single part to a WAV file by right clicking. - Kelly

Teaching Music with Reason Teaching Music with Reason
05:47 PM 
Teaching Music with Reason has been a popular tool for teachers wanting to teach composition and music production. Based around a specially adapted version of Reason, Teaching Music with Reason is a series of lessons that form an introductory level curriculum for creating music with Reason in the classroom. Designed for use in secondary and high school music classes and college introductory modules in Music or Music Technology, it meets national curriculum requirements and music teaching guidelines in many territories. Originally developed around Reason 2.5, Propellerheads has decided against updating the excellent curriculum for Reason 4. Fortunately, they have released the curriculum, including the teacher guide and student workbooks in the public domain. You can now download the materials free! Of course the curriculum is free, but you will still need Reason or Reason Adapted. Reason 4 is available for purchase, while Reason Adapted comes free with many soundcards. - Kelly

Band in a Box 2008 Band in a Box 2008
02:23 AM 
Right on schedule, PG Music recently announced Band in a Box 2008. New features include RealTracks, Multi-Styles, updates to the Audio Chord Wizard, RealDrums Style changes and a lot more. Band in a Box 2007 introduced the highly effective concept of RealDrums - using real recordings of real drummers instead of MIDI tracks. Now they've extended the concept to other tracks as well with RealTracks. Real Pedal Steel, Real Acoustica Guitar and Real Tenor Sax (only for soling) have been added to make playback even more realistic. You can now have up to 24 substyles within a style, you can change RealDrum styles within a song, and you can now change the key signature anywhere in a song. There are lots of other great new features, and if you already own Band in a Box, you can purchase an upgrade. If you don't already own Band in a Box, be sure to check it out today! - Kelly.

Canadians: Lower prices! Canadians: Lower prices!
07:21 PM 
Due to the strength of the Canadian dollar, we've been able to lower even more of our Canadian prices. We haven't got through everything yet, so if you find a price that you think should be lower, please let us know, or try our "Name Your Price" feature. Keep in mind that Kelly's Music Canada can't always offer the same price as Kelly's Music USA. In some cases, the Canadian distributor hasn't lowered their prices to the same as the US, so we have to charge a bit more. In other cases (such as M-Audio), the distributor is very good at keeping up with price changes and our Canadian prices are very attractive. As well, if we have to import an item from the US, we pay the extra shipping, duties, customs fees and brokerage for you - sometimes that means that an item imported from the US may sell for more in Canada than the US. However, since you usually get free shipping, and don't have to pay the brokerage or duty, the total price of ordering from us is still much less than ordering from the US. We are here for you, so please call or e-mail if you have any questions about our pricing or the products we sell. - Kelly

Canadian Prices Lowered... Canadian Prices Lowered...
07:21 PM 
Our Canadian customers will be glad to hear that we've dropped our pricing on a huge number of products over the past few weeks given the strength of the Canadian dollar. Keep in mind that when we source products from US vendors, we still have to pay customs charges, including duty, brokerage, and taxes. Of course shipping from the US can be expensive, so we have to account for all of these costs when setting our selling prices in Canada. In other cases, we source products from Canadian suppliers (such as Steinberg Canada or Roland Canada), and often they are slow to adjust their prices (if they adjust them at all) to reflect the current exchange rate. If you see an item that you think isn't priced fairly, compared to the US price, please let us know and we will see what we can do for you. - Kelly

Finale 2008 Finale 2008
05:04 PM 
Ahead of schedule, MakeMusic recently announced Finale 2008. One of the most exciting features is the ability to record an audio track or import a wave file to playback along with score! After importing the audio file, you can use TempoTap to line-up the audio file to the notation. With Kontakt 2 included with Finale 2008, you can easily use sounds from multiple NI compatible sound libraries. So you don't have to fiddle with other sound libraries if you don't want to, there are now more Garritan sounds included as well, such as saxes and choirs. Although most people probably won't need to use it very frequently, Finale has a handy new feature that can merge multiple scores into one file. This would allow you to import multiple movements into a single document, or merge a bunch of individual parts into one score. There are a host of other new features, but if you want to upgrade, you have to purchase the upgrade directly from MakeMusic, as they don't sell the upgrades through dealers. However, if you are a first time Finale buyer, you can buy Finale 2008 now. - Kelly
