As a combination of some hashtag trends, let's celebrate #FlashbackFriday and #FunFactFriday and take a look back... all the way back to the birth of RealTracks!

In 2008, we added this incredibly popular feature to Band-in-a-Box! It all started with three instruments: Guitar (artist: Tony King), Pedal Steel (artist: Steve Hinson) and Tenor Sax (artist: Jack Stafford)!

Listen to Peter introduce the new RealTracks video in our Band-in-a-Box 2008 New Features Video!

Of course, these new RealTracks were a HUGE HIT and we've been adding more every year! We now have 227 Sets of RealTracks to offer, with over 1,800 RealTracks! That's over 2,200 hours of studio recordings!

Learn more about the RealTracks we have to offer and listen to demos:

I remember those Callie. I was in awe of the sound at the time and wished for more... it was the same when Realdrums were first introduced. Amazing inventions from the workshops of PG Music!

Thanks Noel96... glad your wish came true! RealDrums were the start in our 2007 version, and adding these RealTracks just made everything that much more realistic sounding smile

Catherine and I actually attending Musikmesse in Frankfurt shortly after the release of our RealTracks in Version 2008. It was such a thrill to share this new feature in all of the demonstrations we did during the show (I lost my voice very quickly that week!) - people were totally awestruck!

Callie, I use to set up my company's booth. There is nothing quite like the feeling of knowing your employer has somthing light years ahead of anyone else. As the commercial says, priceless.

Here it is seven years later and there still is nothing like RealTracks. Look out though as I hear Cubase is starting to catch up.

This was before my time, as it were, and made for an interesting history lesson, thank you.

Thank goodness words aren't knives.

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."
