Ive listened to the latest offering of reggae styles by BAND IN A BOX but I wasnt impressed.It doesnt seem to have changed that much since my 2014 purchase. i wrote a few years ago songs that would benefit from a good quality reggae style but I cant find it here which is surprising knowing how great PG music tracks are. Any advice would be a great help.Cheers Frankie

Hi hitsman, we suggest posting your ideas for new Reggae Styles and/or Realtracks to the Wishlist forum here: https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=6&page=1 The more people who agree with the ideas, the more likely they are to be included in future releases. Also, it is really helpful if you post links with examples to listen to.
Best, Chantelle

Hi Chantelle,I posted my query here hoping someone might be able to point me in a direction that might help me NOW. Putting it on a wishlist doesnt guarantee new reggae styles will be on BIAB anytime soon. Pipeline gave ne an answer which I will listen to but my point of not seeing hardly any improvement since my purchase in 2014 was surprising..I will share what I think are quality reggae styles..Also thanks Pipeline for those 2 links will take a listen Thanks Frank

I can attest to the value of the two User Tracks linked by Pipeline.
Generally BIAB reggae is, as with much of BIAB, cookie cutter generic. It's the spice you add that makes it tastier. I, personally, find the lack of low end in the kick drum annoying, (all thwack n click but no thud), though compensated for by the bass guitar to some degree it's very difficult to EQ to fix this. Getting a Clavinet sound and phrases to do classic Marely part is also difficult, (mostly a matter of finding a phrase worthy of repeating in the necessary spots and "tuning" the notes so they'll fit). Adding in the bits of percussion, timbale etc, makes an huge difference though. A drum machine of cheap electronic keyboard will provide those.
Expecting a NOW resolution/response is interesting.

Reggae / Ska / Reggaeton While there are plenty of MIDI items in BIAB, very few RTs (Reggaeton is missing completely)
These styles can be intermixed too, please post to RT wishlist, as Chantelle suggested, will definitely support the topic.

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."
