Hi,
I am talking RealTracks here..
Wouldn't it be cool to have a horn section in Band In a Box (we almost have that now) that you could choose like the Medley. They could all play in harmony and sit on stage together depending on the style chosen.
At the moment they just noodle through a song all competing for their own space, and, unless you are a horn player it is difficult to cut and paste sections that fit together.
So this is a wish, have them playing either alone (as they are now) or together in harmony (your choice)
Best regards George

Hi,
Just to clarify....
I don't mean just to have, for example, a trombone playing in harmony...this can be achieved with the audio harmony feature.
I mean a Sax, Trombone, Trumpet etc etc all playing their part in a harmony setting.
All joining in and playing together.

Now this is a thread worth keeping on the list! What an improvement being able to implement biab realtrack horn sections into your arrangements would be!

This request for tower of power type real track section has been here since BIAB 2009 (or at least as long as I've been here). It's been 2 1/2 years -- maybe it is not in the charts (ha, ha). But if it were -- having a trumpet or cello (or other instruments) doing simple fills/accompaniments would be cool, too

Maybe We should all comment on this incredibly important issue and keep this at the top of the wish list ! Gimme Horn Sections and a choice of various styles ! You known they are desperately needed ! Be great if you could control them all separately in RB too!

Maynard's horn section around Primal Scream era would be sweet. The era when Chase was with him was a little too early.
I could go for some Mark Colby and Bobby Militello action .. <grin>
+1 that would be pretty amazing
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome Make your sound your own!

I would love some punchy real horns .. Also maybe some vocal RTs like a James Brown "OOOOOOWWWWWWWW" or a Raylette's backup do-wop.
