I purchased BIAB Mega Pak and thought it included a selection of string quartets...But I am unable to find any. And a lot of the Styles seems to have "0" next to them....

Hi bloodtrakker,

If you go to the following link, you'll see what the different packages contain. Simply click on the package tab (see the image below).

http://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.packages.htm



After selecting the package tab, there are hyperlinks that will take you to a complete summary of what is sold with each version.

For example, with the MegaPak, if you click on the link I've highlighted below, you'll be taken to a list of what Realtracks are included.



The string quartets are not listed.

When I took a look at the UltraPlusPak, and clicked on the highlighted link, the string quartets did appear in the list.



Under the UltraPlusPak, I also found that the 49-Pak (marked with **), which is included with the UltraPlusPak, can be purchased separately and this seems to include some string quartets also.

I suggest that you get in touch with PG Music. Explain your situation and what you were after and then ask them about what is the most cost effective way of getting what you seek.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Noel

The String Quartet style is located near the bottom of the style list. It also uses a Horn Section in the style.
To locate the style, type in Horn in the search box and it should get listed toward the top.

I used this style yesterday for America The Beautiful and it sounded amazing. I added Viola, Bow Bass, and 2 Violins for a full orchestra sound.

Add in a little reverb to the parts and it will sound like a concert hall.

It is a great style in and of itself, btw.

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."
