RealTracks Set 28 - Jazz Waltz:

Would a list of your favorite things include skating in Central Park on a cool winter day? How about jamming with a swingin' piano or guitar trio on a summertime evening until the sun rises? Have you ever heard an acoustic bass with the kind of tone that made you want to tenderly waltz the night away under a star-filled sky? Whatever a waltz lacks in beats-to-the-bar RealTracks Set 28 makes up for with a rhythm sweeter than a summer breeze. This Set redefines what it means to swing in ¾ time with this collection of Acoustic Bass, Piano, and Electric Guitar RealTracks!

_JWLZ_BG This demo features Electric Guitar Comping & Acoustic Bass Jazz Waltz RealTracks. Both instruments are playing 'A' substyles off the top, and switch to 'B' 41 seconds into the song. For the Bass, that means that the groove changes from mostly just playing on the 1 (with occasional embellishments) to a straight ahead walking line. For the guitar, the change is more subtle, but you can feel the energy boost as the 'B' section starts to swing!

high quality wma: http://64.40.109.185/pgmusic/audio/rt28/_JWLZ_BG_160k.wma

_JWLZ_BP This demo also features the Acoustic Bass Jazz Waltz style, but now the comping instrument has changed to piano, giving it a completely new dynamic. Like the bass and guitar, these piano RealTracks have an 'A' and a 'B' substyle, so your song can have the dynamic shifts that it needs.

RealTracks Set 29 - Freddie and Wes - Jazz Guitar Comping:

The drummer has been holding a steady groove with the bass player all night, swinging harder with each passing hour. The joint is jumping, the dance floor is full and the piano player has more sparkle in his solos than a diamond mine. But something is missing... This cat has six strings, nine lives, ten fingers and some of the sweetest comping this side of bebop. Whether you like the four-on-the-floor beat that'll keep the dance floor full all night or the sweet intoxication of a tasteful groove - RealTracks Set 29 can't fail to disappoint.


_JAZZWES_ Like all of the Guitar RealTracks styles in Set 29, the 'Wescomp' style is designed to work well with piano comping. This particular part has a cool syncopated groove that gives it a sophisticated edge. At 'B', the playing becomes more aggressive, and really digs in!

high quality wma: http://64.40.109.185/pgmusic/audio/rt29/_JAZZWES_160k.wma



_BALFRED This demo features the ballad version of the 'Freddie' Guitar RealTracks style. This guitar part locks in with the drums, providing a solid foundation, over which the Piano RealTracks can comp in ever-changes rhythmic patterns.
high quality wma: http://64.40.109.185/pgmusic/audio/rt29/_BALFRED_160k.wma


_JAZFRED This is the faster swing version of the 'Freddie' Guitar Comping RealTracks. The drums, bass and guitar provide the solid swinging groove, while the piano comps rhythmically. This is a killer rhythm section to solo or sing over!

We need some more Rock guitar Real audio tracks. Like the distortion syncopated 102 from the RB 2008. Enough with the Stones and Mark Knopfler

Hi,

Can I just check out a dispute about the BIAB 2009 Megapack. My supplier said on their website description of contents:

"...and The Band-in-a-Box Video Tutorial PAK CD-ROM" but this was not in my package. I see that the PG website comparison indicates that this is NOT included in the megapack. Was it included with earlier versions (are they confused by a change) or was this description just plain wrong? The Tutorial PAK was what really made my decision to buy it rather than the basic package.

Help appreciated.
Thanks

Another questions please. When I click on any of the demos you list, I get the error message:

"Windows Media Player cannot connect to the server. The server name might not be correct, the server might not be available, or your proxy settings might not be correct." I can connect to anything else - what is your link asking for that's unusual, so I can clear it with my firewall?

Thanks

Hello Digihound,

They are streaming files. If you can't play any streaming content, try going to Options - Tools - Network in Windows Media Player, then select HTTP Browser in the Streaming Proxy Settings area, and click Configure. Select Use Proxy Settings of Web Browser.

If that's already selected, perhaps see if it works with a different web browser. If not, it may be your security software (anti-virus/firewall). You could disable the software to test if that's the problem, and if it is you could then look for a specific setting in the software.

The Video Tutorial Pak was included in the MegaPak in provious years, so your supplier may have been confused by a change in content. If you let us know the dealer, we can notify them of the change. The Video Pak is available for purchase for $29 Follow this link for more information. http://www.pgmusic.com/videos.htm

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
