A while ago I asked if and how I could use the horn backgrounds from one style while using another style for a particular song (#196178 - 02/26/13).

As the replies were not 100 % clear, I will try to describe this rather easy process below.

1) Open “Select style” by clicking on the “style button”
2) Filter for the styles containing the sounds (soloist or background) you are looking for, e.g. “horns”
3) Select the style of your choosing, e.g. _SOL6HS.
When in doubt listen to the demo song of the style first
4) Find the real track number of the part you want to use in the description box on the right hand side, e.g. “RT2110: Horn Section, Background”
5) Open your song with the style you are using for it
6) Find an empty track, e.g. soloist
7) Right click on the track name to the right of the radio button
8) Select Best Real Chording Track in the filter …… (name of the empty track you chose), enter e.g. 2110 and that track will appear in a list
9) Select the correct line in the list by highlighting it
10) Click OK and generate now and you will hear the song, with the style you liked, plus the horn background

Brgds,
Tonnie

Thank you Tonnie! I am still learning BIAB and was wondering how to add the horns to a track. Very helpful.
