None of the packages (Pro, Mega, Ultra or Audiophile) include Xtra or Xpro style PAKs. Style PAKs are optional, add-on purchases. _SLEIGHT is included in Xtra PAK 6.

Hi Pablo.

Welcome to the forums smile

The style _SLEIGHT.STY is a sw8 style at 140... this means it's a rhythm based on a swing feel in 1/8th notes (i.e. a bouncy 1/8th note triplet feel) at a tempo of 140 beats per minute.Personally, I think that a shuffle light rock style will probably work better than a shuffle jazz style. With this in mind, it's possible to narrow down the search for other styles that might do the job.

Use the filter in stylepicker to locate other sw8 styles at 140. Alternatively, sw16 styles (swing style based on 1/16th note triplets) at 70 beats per minute. Simply select a style and then click on the "Demo" button. It will be easy to hear if it is a good fit or not. For the record, _SLEIGHT.STY is not an exact fit for Waterloo. It's what I'd call a comfortable fit that would do the job.

To filter styles in style picker to show sw8 rock styles designed to used at 140 beats per minute (bpm), do the following...

1) Open Multilibrary Picker (F7).

2) Select the Styles tab. (#1 on the image)

3) Set Stylepickers filters to those shown (#2). This is "Everything Pop". If you want to try jazz styles, simply choose "Everything Jazz" as the far left filter.

4) Select a style from the list (#3) and then press "Demo" (#4) to hear how it sounds and gauge if it fits comfortably with Waterloo.

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

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
