Ska is a hugely popular genre of music that is very sadly overlooked by Band in a box, why is this and PLEASE can you cover this very popular form of music as soon as possible, I specialise in Ska music and am very keen to recreate old Trojan and Studio One backing tracks but there are no suitable styles in your product. I have not bought this product yet as I am holding on for If and when it covers ska music.

Saxman67, welcome to the forum at least.

When you mention Ska, I initially presumed you meant Jamaican rhythms, or are you referring to later urban pop music?

To some extent, the 70/80's ska aka Two tone music, but also the pre reggae Ska rythms of the 60's/70's in the styles of Toots and the Maytals, Skatalites, Pioneers etc. This type of music is very popular on the Uk live music scene at the moment, I know as my bands diary is full for the next 12 months, however many of the old classics backing tracks are not commercially available hence the need to custom make them.

I am not currently a user of BIAB but am seriously considering buying, the absence of any actual ska rythms is my only concern, the other features appear really impressive.

There would obviously be uses for such a style.
