I re did the song Evening Star, tried to get a better vocal that sat in the mix, and to balance out the instruments.

Thanks guys, i thought this version was better. Most of the guitar work is RTs, 'cept some of the acoustic strumming. I wish i could take credit. It is amazing what you can do with RTs. I plan to go back in and play all the acoustic tracks, and the bass track, as part of my CD project.

Hi Rob,

I love the groove - very restful and very haunting. It really suits your voice. You've got a very impressive range! Like those above, I thought this was you playing guitar, too! You'd done some very musical editing of Realtracks. It's very convincing

Regards,
Noel

Hi Robh,

spam monkey!!!



I agree that the number of anieyo posts makes it look like a spam bot has been busily working its way through the forum. In reality, though, the comments that anieyo has made indicate that s/he has listened to everyone's songs! That's an incredible effort. Anieyo has also posted a link to a song called "Sunbird".

All the best,
Noel

TQ Noel, for sticking up for me. Yes, I did make an effort to listen to the songs and comment on them, and also enjoyed listening to them. Robh, I know you didn't mean what you said--no hard feelings. anieyo

I just got around to hearing this...Nice song Rob! Your voice has great natural vibrato!



... but, come on, Bro... you oughta give PGMusic a callout in your "software used" blurb

Equipment / Software
Gibson S-1 Electric, Takamine accoustic 6 string, Ovation 12 string, Digitech RP-200 amp modeler, Casio cz-1Keyboard, and my AMD 2400+xp, Audiophile 24/96 card, Behringer 602 mixer, with Acid Pro 3.0 , Vegas 4 Pro, Multitrack Studios, Cakewalk, Sound forge, and a few other toys.




All of the songs I listened to seemed to have Real Tracks in them

ACID users need to know about Real Band.. especially now that it does loops too.

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.

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.
