Looking for RealTrack Suggestion #435247 10/26/17 02:27 AM Band-in-a-Box for Windows

The song in question is by a group called Augie March and is called Cold Acre. YouTube link below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mofk55FvUbo Much as I would like to, I don't have the time to plod my way through every demo track online, so I am hoping that a resident expert can suggest something that may work. Many thanks for the help

Then start with a "strum" search in the RealTrack search for a basic guitar strum pattern backing. Then try fingerpick search or rock for an E. Guitar pattern and go from there. If you have the tempo, feel and correct chordal layout, you are already 1/2 way there and simply build your style that way. Or, Try typing a band/song search in the style list for a band that sounds familiar to the song you are attempting to produce. I like to do mine from the ground up by starting with a blank style and then selecting each style/RT part. Biab has some fantastic "basic" RT's (strum/pick/fingerpick/barre) to start with. Good luck, Trax

It's standard tempo is 140 and the song you mentioned is closer to 120, but it should work at that tempo. It's on a Bonus Pak from Nov 2016 so I'm not sure how easily available it is. _TOUGHIT.STY.
