In addition to all of the above, I would like to also have "filler styles" that are mostly silent when there is a melody but accentuate the chords when the melody is more or less silent like on held notes in the melody or during rests.

I love the Crooner series and would love more (who wouldn't?). I put My Way together in a couple of hours on Saturday night. I was just messing around putting it together for my live set, but it really shows how nice the crooner realtracks can be when mixed into a different jazz style. In this case the Style is _JGTGRMS.STY (Med-Slow Jazz w/ Groovin' Piano). Forgive the dodgy guitar solo at the start and the rather insipid vocals ..... Crooner real track comes in at 1:35 and 3:10. https://soundcloud.com/salsatomebaby/my-way-1RealTracks in style: ~768:Bass, Acoustic, Jazz Sw 110 RealTracks in style: ~771:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Jazz Sw 110 RealTracks in style: ~1101:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm JazzSwingGrooveComp Sw 110 RealTracks in style: 1152:Silence RealDrums in style: JazzBrushes: a: Brushes Swirling b: Brushes Busier Tenor Sax solo is 361

Thanks for the example. It illustrates what I meant. The Crooner RealTracks sometimes get real busy and try to fight your vocals -- when thy actually should be more quiet. I know you put in a lot of time to get that result. But listen to it at 1:48 to 1:53. A band should support you not boost its own ego. ...

Thanks GHinch, I agree. They can be a bit full on. I think also there's a couple of places where the backing jars eg 3.44, perhaps it's the issue with 7ths? I follow what the more experienced users do and say which helps speed up the learning curve.
Tobin, I would also love to see some BB King type brass sections.

Ok, I'm sure this poor (brave?) PG Staff member already got way more than he wished for when creating this thread - so here's a bit more! I second pretty much every suggestion already mentioned, but here's my specific "still missing" ideas in the "sections" department: 1. I'm still hoping for those exclusive Muted Trumpet RT's, both swing and even feel, fast & slow, soloists & groups/background. 2. Fast, aggressive trumpet/brass, for bebop & latin (i.e. swing & even, particularly the latter). 3. Waltz, especially EVEN feel waltz RT sets & sections (Accordion+violin blend would be a dream!) Other of my ideas are more about individual instruments than sections, so I'll stop here - Congrats again for the wonderful Crooners
