Also, which Pak do you have? There may be missing styles in the Pak level that you're using?

Could you try the following styles?

_EVFNK60 2013/07 RT 191
_PEACE2U 2018/09 Xtra PAK 6
_SERENE 2018/09 Xtra PAK 6
_FNKSYN2 2015/11 RT 240

They all match the song title you mentioned.

fiddler
it was a record label in the early 60s called bluebeat (jamaican i think)
a lot of their recordings were similar a kinda off beat reggae
heres a link to a track,pretty simple stuff
there are also similar tracks with same off beat thing but with a slight shuffle.
i have all the style tracks except bonus pak 5.

Try searching for "shuffle" in the style search box. This should list all the shuffle styles and maybe you can recognize the ska/reggae listed ones there to help eliminate the list?

This is my list of Ska Reggae according to BB2019PLus anyway.Maybe you can adapt one of these.For MockinBird Hill there is an Ev16 that might do for it.Im going to poke some chords in later and see.

Listening to a lot above: All the stuff has sort of a whiteness type grooving, sort of a boring squarish simple kind? Seems like with white blues and ditto zydeco bands; them palefaces ain't got it. But that's IMO ... Bob Marley for ever ... And some of BIAB's RTs are quite a bit better grin ... BTW Pipeline: i like _MELLOW, has a sort of UB40 (the original band) feel. F

The video almost sounds like Blueberry Hill song and I know Biab has the style for that song. Try a Fats Domino/Blueberry Hill style search.

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
