Good Day
Is there a way to addin the Ooh and Aah RealTracks in RB 2018 (4). I cannot seem to locate them using "Generate...."? I may be missing something obvious?
Thank you
Roy

In Generate RealTrack section, scroll to bottom and look for Vocals .. they should be there.
If not, try re-installing the RT set 278, or rebuilding the Styles list.

The styles list is different than the RT list, but it affects the RTs that Realband can see. (RT's are included in Styles).

Roy, here's what I had to do to get the Ooh and Aah RealTracks in RB 2018 (4).

When I initially searched for the Ooh and Aah RealTracks in RB 2018 (4), Search for the Oohlala Style wasn't found. All of the BGV RT's showed as **NA** in RB StylePicker even though they showed normally in the BIAB StylePicker.


I did a complete rebuild of the BIAB StylePicker and although the BGV styles were searchable and appeared ok, the rebuild found 29 additional styles although my total number of styles did not increase but stayed the same total as before the rebuild (6094).

Then I opened RB and did a complete rebuild of the RB StylePicker. The rebuild produced the same results in the RB StylePicker, adding 29 files but with no difference in the total number of styles.

I was able to search, load and generate a song using the Oohlala style and using the 2975 RT after taking these steps.

You may also need to rebuild your RB StylePicker. I see Rharv posted the same as I was composing my comment.

Thank you rharv - problem solved. I loaded an sgu file into the new RB2018 without going to the stylepicker. Just opening the stylpicker triggered the style and RealTrack rebuild (or the rebuild button also works)
All styles now visible.

Thnaks to Charlie as well!

Yup, same here. First time I launched the style picker in both BIAB and RB for the first time (2018) it re-populated the list.

Which level of Real Band has those vocals? I have the $269 one, whatever it is called. I too see the 3069 as N/A. Do you guys have the uber pack that costs almost 500 bucks? I am starting to think they are just not available on my version. I did the rebuilding as Charlie said but I still don't have those vocals available to me.

I guess my being cheap is the problem. I only go up to 2780 in Real Tracks. I have to buy more to go to 3062. I don't have the Mondo-Gives You Everything version. Yet. Emailed asking about this situation and what more I'd have to buy.

Revisiting this topic. I have the level of product I need to get those Real Tracks for vocals, but almost every time I try to use them they show as NA and I have to rebuild before they show. Is that a common bug? I know Charlie posted about this as well.

I DID manage to get things working with rharv's help. I just pretty much didn't know what I was doing....

My gripe with them was that they mix both ooh and aah in the same real track. I am working on something now that needs ooh to a certain point and then aah and I don't have control over that. I could make it work by cutting and pasting and pitch changing the correct syllable, but that's like a part time job. And I don't work even part time anymore....

I haven't gone back and confirmed but some of these tracks, the ooh's and aah's are determined by the part marker. Blue = ooh and green = aah.

The problem is that I'm a dumbass and don't take the time to read. It says in the description if it is ooh, aah, or a mix of both.

Time to go tweak a song....

I was gonna say; different RT variationss have different ooh/ahh results as shown in my image .. but I think you see that now!
Good hunting.

I haven't played with them much .. too many singers around here, so I just ask someone to sing what I want, which is rarely an ooh/ahh anyway.
I tinkered/tested them during beta, but have not used them in real life much

Hi all

Just my opinion but this is how good backing vocals should sound .
Nice track this one but I am a fan.

No. They do not. They sound like real people pushed through some autotuning software, with that kind nasal, something is stuck in my throat kind of sound.

I used them a couple of time so far but what I did was sang all the parts I could reach myself in addition to the packaged ones and mixed them. It kinda sorta fools the ear some.

I've heard her perform. There's no bias required. She is outstanding.

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
