I use Band-in-a-Box mainly for its original stated purpose of providing accompaniment for my jazz practicing. Certainly RealStyles are far superior to midi but I remain very disappointed with the small number of conventional jazz styles (Classic RealStyles) available - 17 only, ignoring Latin and smooth jazz and many of these use the same musicians in different combinations. I discounted so-called Smooth Jazz because most of the jazz musicians I know could not be less interested. Honestly, I am really getting bored playing with the same old rhythm sections every day - particularly that bass player who can't play a straight four-in-the-bar walking bass to save his life. I am even more disappointed about the small number of styles available for the faster tempos - say 200 bpm up to 300 bpm, which in my opinion covers the tempos at which a very large part of the jazz repertoire is played - from Dixieland to Bebop. Actually there are none! I really don't know why I bothered with 2010.5 which only gave me a few styles with a jazz organ added.

I generally agree with some of the above points. However, the more I try to use the new organ real tracks, the more I dislike the bass. I hope pgmusic will offer more organ tracks, with hot licks, sustained sounds, and all the rest, but with no organ bass, unless it's a separate real bass track and part of the style.

IMHO BIAB has captured the sound of an organ trio very well. The organ bass sounds very good. I guess you don't like organ groups like Joey D and Tony Monaco. BIAB's organ bass sounds very much like theirs. Later, Ray

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."
