Microsoft DirectMusic is the interactive audio component of the Microsoft DirectX application program interface (API) that works with digital audio as well as message-based musical data that is converted to digital audio either by your sound card or by its built-in software synthesizer.
It allows sound effects and music to be composed and played as well as provides a flexible control over the way the sound effects and music are played.
The dmband.dll process is commonly called the Microsoft DirectMusic Band. It is part of a group of files together with the dmime.dll file and the dmsynth.dll process. They have the necessary codes for the operation of Microsoft DirectMusic particularly in creating music and sound effects.
The file dmband.dll API supports input in Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) format and supports both compressed and uncompressed digital audio formats. It provides software developers with the ability to create immersive dynamic soundtracks that respond to a variety of changes in the software environment not the least of which is direct user input.
The dmband.dll process contains the codes for the sounds of instruments and other sound effects that can be accessed when creating music and sound effects. For example when you want to use the sound of a horn or guitar the Microsoft DirectMusic has the sound because it can access the dmband.dll process.
It is also used by the operating system to generate sounds and sound effects from instruments.
Microsoft DirectMusic is a high-level set of objects that are built on top of DirectSound. It allows the user to play sound and music without needing to get quite as low-level as DirectSound. The difference is that DirectSound allows for the capture and playback of digital sound samples whereas the DirectMusic works with message-based musical data.
It also has a complete system for implementing dynamic soundtracks, which take advantage of hardware acceleration.

What is a DLL?
Your operating system comes pre-installed with Microsoft DLL’s and most third party programs also install DLL’s.
DLL (Dynamic Link Library) is Microsoft’s implementation of the shared library concept. Meaning there’s a DLL library on your computer and each DLL can be shared among different Microsoft and third party programs. This shared library method helps your computer run faster by having fewer operations running at the same time.
When a DLL is missing or corrupt it may show an error message and programs may fail or crash.
Because DLL’s are shared, one missing or corrupt DLL may affect multiple programs on your computer.
