After listening to all of the demos of the latest real tracks, guess I'm hooked to upgrade. I think BIAB is headed in the right direction and is ahead of the arranger keyboards at the moment. I hardly touch mine, preferring BIAB instead. However, I wish we had a few more varieties of the western swing style and the uptempo country swings, with the walking bass line. I suppose the demo PATS1GP gets closest to what I'm looking for. Also, I didn't hear much in the way of background fiddle parts in the new swing styles. Maybe they're there and I missed them. Finally, BIAB seems to have much of the country rock, traditional, folk, Hank, etc. covered. And the Country Electric Guitar is super. Sure sounds like Brent Mason's hot licks in there. Most of my gigging time is spent on jazz standards, bossas, and ballads. I just happen to like medium-to-up country swing and wish we had more of it, especially if it has a "jazzy" flavor to it.

A little late getting here but I've had a small complaint in my craw for quite some time. Given that Ray Price was - and still is, at 82 years - one of country's greatest vocalists, one would think that the signature shuffle of his style would have been one of the first shuffles to be written in BIAB. Not. Wonder why?

With out a doubt the only way BIAB will please us all is when it has every style known to man and we will need half a dozen external hard drives to hold them all. I can't wait  However, just to make sure I get my two cents in, I use my BIAB pretty much as simply as one could. Stick the cords in and build the back up that I need to pick and sing along with. I have to admit that I seem to be running into alot of tunes that I can find a style that is close enough but I can't get a real track that fits. The real tracks that are there are fantastic, playing with Mark Knopfler or Chet Atkins is so cool and I have nothing but praise for all the folks at PG and what they have done with this product. I may be off and maybe what I am thinking just isn't so but I am wondering if there isn't some more generic real tracks that could be layed down for some of the genres. They would not be a cool as a track of the real player but they would get us through until those tracks became available. A case in point from my experience, I love bluegrass and have not run accross a tune yet where the current real tracks can't pull it off. Bluegrass is probably one of the easiest to get enough tracks to cover most of the tunes that fit the genre. At the same time I fully appreciate the difficulty. I am not into Jazz what so ever, although I continue to try the jazz tracks, they never fit into anything that I am plugging into BIAB. Anyway, theres my two cents.

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."
