Hi

No it’s quite straight forward.

In BIAB when in chord sheet view, click on the down arrow on the RH end of the mixer for the track you want to change and then selected you track type you now want.
Real tracks will be offered in order of suitability top to bottom to suit your current style and tempo etc.

As real tracks are performances recorded by live musicians don’t expect them to play your original midi note pattern!

Don’t forget to regenerate the song after changing track type!

Have fun
Mike

Welcome to the "Bewildered" threads.lol.Once you get into it its sweet to use.
In BB assuming you have set a style that is midi and has say Acoustic Piano in track2.In themixer window right-click on the track and youll get a submenu one of which is Select Realtrack or similar.And away you go. smile
BTW it will dependon which BB/RB you bought.thecheaper ones have much fewer realtracks than say the Plus one.

Also....

The below link will take you to some tutorial video clips that BIAB have put together. These may help with your learning journey.

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

Even though some of the clips use older versions of BIAB, the principles are still the same today so the information contained in the clip is still relevant.

I think that everyone who has learnt how to drive BIAB would agree that there is a learning curve associated with coming to terms with the software. Once one starts to become familiar with various aspects of the program, though, the software starts to make sense. Hang in there!

Regards,
Noel

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."
