I had the same thought.
Real Bass would be fantastic (though with my forum name you'd think I'd want to play the bass part myself).
And as long as were listing specific names: bass g-d Jack Casady. That would be hot.

I think you are already working on it, but please, allow us to choose between wma or uncompressed (and without effect) realbass versions with no added costs

Hi Sergio,
I understand that we can do that right now if we like with the current RealInst files.
When you install, the installer creates both .wma and .wav files in your RealInst folders.
By default, BIAB2008 will use the .wav files -- if they are there.
If it finds only .wma files of the same name as the corresponding .wav files instead, it will then convert and load the .wma files on the fly. This can take a little bit longer to load each song, of course.
You can try this easily enough, open up one of the RealInst folders and move all of the .wav files out of it temporarily, then start up BIAB and try loading some songs that use those files.
Happy New Year!
--Mac

I have to admit that I'm disappointed that we didn't get Real Bass in Biab 2008. It seems like the next logical step after Real Drums. I'm sure they are working on it and I'll buy it as soon as it does become available. Maybe we'll get a 2008.5 update that will include it. 
The harder I work the luckier I get.

I agree RealBass would seem like the next logical step. I hope that they come out with this soon.

I don't agree. I really hope PG Music is not wasting their time recording a mess of bass tracks. I don't mean to trash the idea, but I think bass is one instrument (along with piano) that tends to sound ok with samples. There are so many instruments that don't (trumpet, sax, pedal steel), I can't see why they would waste time with the ones that do.

I think we're talking about the style of bass playing rather than the actual sound. There's a world of difference in the style between, say Ray Brown and Jaco. We have a lot of different drum styles, why not bass styles? Later, Ray

Although I can play bass, I would definitely appreciate RealBass. We already have RealGuitar and most folk / country / rock bands consist of drums, guitar and bass. With my setup, I play guitar and sing, my gf plays keys, I have arrangements produced in BIAB and mixed in PTPA and use backing tracks created in this way. RealDrums is great, RealBass would be an added bonus.
Of course, I'm not a jazz musician but then many others aren't either

Just an example of why it's a good idea to read back through the wishlists. As I write, a nearly identical request is just two listings ahead, and there is a similar request in the "Styles" wishlist.
. . . But I'll second it here, too.

I was so disappointed by the lack of Real Bass that I didn't upgrade this year. In the past I upgraded every year as soon as it came out. Now I'm hoping we'll get a 2008.5 with Real Bass.
The harder I work the luckier I get.

Who is 'Paul' on Bass? I assume that 'Ray' is Ray Brown.

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."
