A friend asked me what would be a good program to use to get into PC music, steel guitar in particular. We're both novices and I didn't have an answer. He inquired about either Band-in-a-box or Cakewalk. I know this is probably elementary stuff to you experienced guys, but there may be a lot of others like me who don't have the background to know which way to go. Thanks in advance.

I use BIAB all the time to make backup tracks to play along with. I believe Cakewalk is a program to record through. Two different programs with two different applications.
PG Music makes BIAB and they also make a program called Power Tracks Pro Audio that can be used to record with and it costs a mighty $29.00 (through Dec.)

Tom,
Band-In-A-Box can actually record ONE stereo track of audio in it's present version, so if all you need is a track for your steel, this might be it ! You get the best accompainment (sp?) program around AND you can record yourself.
I personally have both BiaB AND Power Tracks, but that's because I do a lot of overdubbing - due to my playing (dis)abilities
