First let me say BIAB is an amazing program which I have had since it was DOS .... I am often frustrated by obvious gaps in American Music Styles ... the basics that 90% + of all subsequent American 'popular' music rests upon ... eg ... the different areas that blues developed from ... basic New Orleans/Texas Barrel House/St Louis/Kansas/Chicago ... that is a historical progression ... THe early soul styles once again it always seems to start in New Orleans ... Philly/Motown/Memphis etc. get those styles down .. hire the right people who know exactly that feel ... me pressing on suggested style for The Band's THe Weight was laughable .. I made it happen with experimentation .. and my latest frustration Fellahs>!!! A basic Bo Diddley style playing Bo Diddley ... it is basic New Orleans 2nd line beat (which you do not have in the 2 New Orleans styles) ... Kick goes ... Ba ba Ba ... Ba Snare ... listen to THe Neville Bros Fiyo on the Biyo ... Herman V. Ernest 3 holding down the drums ... This is a beat that shows up everywhere ... even Ozzy Osbourne's 'See you on the otherside' from his album 'Ozzmosis' uses it to great effect ... my frustration arose again trying to find backup for Elvis Presley's early song, 'His Latest Flame'that has that same beat ... come on fellahs it's a simple song!! ... hire me .. (40 year veteran Audio engineer ... 17 in New Orleans) ... I'll sort y'all out and fill in those gaping musical gaps ...

Hello Audio Guy,
Long time user but first post so welcome to the forum! I hope you'll join in on some of the threads and would really like to hear some of your music in the User Showcase.
Have you tried some of the midi styles? Using nice sounding VSTi instrument patches like Ivory Keys for piano (they have a great sounding tack piano) and Ample Sound for guitar you can get very natural sounding backing tracks.
The popularity of RealTracks has diminished the use of midi styles. That's a shame because users forget midi styles have been around much longer than RealTracks so sometimes they are more developed and better reflect older music forms.
I'm not sure what to suggest regarding drumtracks. Most of the midi styles include drum patterns so you may find that you need a drum pattern from a different style than the other instruments.
Have you given any thought to making some UserTracks or RealDrums emulating some of the styles and patterns you desire? That would help PG Music better understand what you're requesting.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

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."
