Wendy, an excellent way to effectively search for a suitable style for a song is to use the Play Button rather than the Play Icon in the Style Picker Window.
The Play Icon, plays the selected style demo.
The Play Button, plays the selected style over your chord progression and your song's tempo.
There can be dramatic differences between the sound of the selected style demo and the sound of the selected style over your chord progression.
Coupled with the Style Picker search filters, you can not only search for an appropriate style, but for a featured PGMusic session musician, a Realtrack in your selected style from another style that will be the same instrument by the same musician but playing a different pattern or style that you can use to change within your song. For instance, an acoustic guitar RealTrack, alternate the same instrument between fingerpicking and strumming patterns.
There are many other possibilities and I've recommended to Joanne Cooper that she features this in one of her future blogs. I've found it to be a very powerful search feature.
Hello Charlie. I never know there was a difference. I do now and it does help a lot especially when trying to get a style to fit some chords. I shall remember that one. Many thanks. Hello Floyd.Spot On-its a darned RUMBA!! Ive been trying all manner of country ballads, pop ballads etc etc and geting nowhere. Thank you for spotting that. Rumbabol is great. I subbed out the 920 piano for a Piano, held, 120 and its as close as I'm going to want for a Live gig. What a great site this is. WendyM

That's a great tip Charlie! I've always used the green "Play" icon, always wondered why it didn't sound as good when I move it over to my chord progression and tempo. This makes all the difference in the world. Many thanks for posting this great tip!
Perhaps you'll take time to repost your information in the Tips & Tricks section of the forum. That will make it much easier to find in future forum searches!
An observation. Ive tried the Play button and i like whatit does but it only plays the first 4 bars of my chord sheet. All well and good if all instruments in yr song play together in those 4 bars. But i have a song where bars 1-8 are piano only before the band gets out of bed so the Play feature doesnt help there. Unless of course, there is a way to extend the number of bars in Play? WendyM

Deselect (uncheck) the 4 bar preview button and the whole song will play.
But here's a tip. Many songs use the first 4 bars for the intro which many times is a different chord progression than your verse, chorus or the hook of your song.
I sometimes temporarily change those first 4 bars of the song to different chords than the intro and use those 4 bars to focus in on a particular section of my song and this allows me to quickly search and audition styles or RealTracks. When I find a suitable style or track, I change the first 4 bars back to the correct chords for my song.
Those 4 bars can be any chord progression you wish, rather than only the first 4 bars of your song. It's a time saving feature.

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.

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."
