These I'm sure could easily be added to existing styles. I'm talking mainly piano backing here. Many piano styles ( I'm sure folks would agree ) are just too busy. So, how's about making a few simple additions ? A plain 1,2,3 1,2,3 vamp for a waltz ? The simple vamp for other tempos 2/4 time, 4/4 time & 6/8 time. I've asked for a simple 6/8 vamp before. There's a 6/8 vamp for Celtic styles but I can't use it as there's just far too much going on and it spoils any material I try and use it with. It doesn't sound natural having a piano with so many notes flying around. Sometimes simple is best Pretty please ???????

Just wondering. Is there a command or box to click that will simplify all real tracks in a song, with one click? Or, is it only one instrument at a time to do that? I often use the simplest bass parts and piano. The less busy the part, the better the track sounds (to me)for all the live players jamming along.

To make a song simple using BIAB 2013 for Windows:
Edit > bottom selection of the submenu "Settings (for this song)" or "CNTRL N" > 7th checkbox from top "Force Song To Simple Arrangement (non-embellished)"
To make simple the default selection when a new song is created:
Opt. > bottom selection of teh submenu "Preferences" or "CNTRL E" > select "Overrides" button > bottom of submenu under "Defaults for new Songs" check the box for "Force to Simple Arrangement"

Jim---your suggestions worked like a charm. Many thanks. If only I were more curious in exploring BIAB, maybe I would have found those options. I had been simplifying a few of the individual tracks via the respective track button (mainly piano and bass), but was not aware that the entire song could be affected with one click. My view is that a less busy track works better in live play, where you have others playing solos, improvisation, fills, turnarounds, vocals, and all that.

I'm glad my suggestions helped. I also like simple RealTracks most of the time.
Sometimes I will generate simple tracks and render the simple tracks to audio then I'll change the setting to embellish, generate embellished tracks and render the embellished tracks to audio. Then I can compare, cut and paste what I like and create something totally unique. It all depends on what best helps present the song as I envision it.

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."
