It would be great to have "pop music" accompaniment cello RealTracks. Not really "rock", but something that would fit nicely with a guitar ballad. The classic song that comes to mind is James Taylor's "Fire and Rain", which sounds wonderful on cello: Fire and Rain (with cello)A more upbeat example: Finally - David James Martinez (guitar, cello and cajon)There are several different styles I can think of: - Simple arco bass. This would be a simple bowed style, pretty much the same as what you'd get from a bowed bass. For example, what the cello plays on Long and Winding Road under the first verse, or in What Would You Do?.
- Arco bass fills. The cello version of the "Background Allis Fiddle", but in the lower register. There's enough motion in them to have character, but not so much that it would be confused with a melodic line. Probably played in the middle register of the cello, so the melodic character comes out, with more passing notes than the "simpler arco" style. For example, at 1:00 in Jupiter and Mars the cello gives the melody over to the guitar, but plays more than single bass notes.
I'll admit, there's not much difference between "simple" and "fills", other than a matter of degree.
- Pizzicato bass. Much like the simple plucked bass, and not particularly interesting by itself, but very useful as a "B" style for the cello. I'd think it would be more in the middle register of the cello. It's used often in Finally, for example.
- Solo fills. This is really why I want a cello style - bits and fills where the cello can take the lead. Check out just about any of the prior examples... Only they typically pilfer melodic lines and phrases from the melody, so I don't know of any generic examples, So I'll just point to the background fiddle styles in BiaB and suggest that they be along those lines. I'd imagine these to be in the middle to high register of the cello, although by "high" I'm not really thinking too high - it should be something that sounds characteristic of the cello, instead of part that gets into the violin's register.
I don't really know how clever RealTracks are about this, but it might make sense to have a "major" and "minor" option, in the same way that some RealTracks have "blues" options. The big selling point of RealTracks is that they give all the stuff that MIDI doesn't. So expressive bowing and slurs would really sell the track.

RealTracks Set 167: Country Boogie and More Cello, Background Pop, Ev 85 Sounds sweet! Thanks, PG Music! I guess I'll have to buy the upgrade now! Now I'm really curious if the cello and fiddle soloist play well together...

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
