A multitracking music sequencer and digital audio recording program with tons of new features.

PG Music PowerTracks Pro Audio 2010 is a full-featured, multitrack music sequencing and digital audio recording program. PowerTracks Pro Audio includes powerful and unique features such as the Audio Chord Wizard, which automatically and accurately figures out the chords from MP3/WMA/WAV audio files; the TC Helicon Vocal Harmonizer to add harmonies or pitch correct your audio tracks; and RealDrums (Sets 1-3) which allow you to instantly generate audio drum tracks that are real recordings of drummers—not single drum hit samples but full recordings lasting 1 to 8 bars.

With version 2010 of this powerful music production software, PG Music has added over 50 cool features, including a Conductor mode with over 80 functions, giving you full control over live performances; a Plug-in mode to drag-and-drop files to another sequencer/DAW or to Windows Explorer; Audio Chord Wizard enhancements; automatic tempo mapping for MIDI performances recorded in free-time; and much more.

PG Music RealDrums
These are audio drum styles that replace the MIDI drum track with actual recordings of top studio Jazz/Rock/Country drummers. These are not samples of single drum hits. They are actually full recordings, lasting from 1 to 8 bars, playing along in perfect sync with the other Band-in-a-Box tracks. For example, choose a brushes style, and you will now hear lush jazz brushes, exactly as you'd hear if the drummer was in the room with you. The results are dramatically better than MIDI. They sound like a real drummer, because they are recordings of a real drummer. Adding this real instrument to the mix makes all of your Band-in-a-Box parts sound more authentic. As well as improved drum sounds, you are hearing the exact rhythms played by the drummer, including features not seen in MIDI (subtle drum rolls, variations in ride cymbal taps, complex fills, etc.). A RealDrums dialog allows you to set whether you want to hear RealDrums with all styles, no styles, or somewhere in between. This PowerTracks Pro Audio 2010 includes sets 1-3

PG Music PowerTracks 2010 Features:

• Includes RealDrums Sets 1-3
  
  Features for PowerTracks Pro Audio 2010
• Plug-in mode makes PowerTracks open as a small window and acts as a plug-in for your favorite DAW/sequencer by allowing you to drag-n-drop MIDI and audio (WAV) tracks from PowerTracks to the other program (or to Explorer)—simply drag the track from PowerTracks to your sequencer's track at the desired track and bar location
• Conductor: Live Looping/Playback control
• Tempo mapping for MIDI tracks allows you to align a freely recorded MIDI performance (i.e., not recorded to a click track)
• You can drag-and-drop wave, MIDI, and other media files into the Tracks window from Explorer which will get added to the project on the track that you dropped them, at the current time
• You can open Band-in-a-Box song files: PowerTracks will read the chords, part markers, Melody and Soloist tracks of SGU and MGU files.
• The Coyote Wavetable DXi synth is included which works with PowerTracks and other DXi-compatible host programs to produce realistic instrument sounds, and is compatible with all the latest Windows operating systems
• Audio Chord Wizard is enhanced with the addition of a Leadsheet window that shows the chords for the whole song on a single screen
• Audio Chord Wizard has better detection of chords, bar lines, and tempos. 2 chords per bar can now be detected (previously only 1 per bar), and chord interpretation is faster

• If you record while in Loop mode (which is activated using the loop button) the music will loop when recording is started with the Record button (The music that is recording during each loop can be put onto individual tracks after recording is finished, or the entire take can be put onto a single track like an ordinary recorded take)
