You will have to look at all the different packages of RT's and see what you want. I can appreciate that money can be tight but after you realize how many you want it may be cheaper to just get everything even if that includes some stuff you'll never use.

Start with anything with jazz in the title. All the jazz basses, piano's, guitars, vibes, organs, the soloists, all of that. Then there's the pop jazz RT's. How many times do you use shuffle beats for some jazz stuff? You will probably want all the rock and blues things because they have all those shuffles. Then there's some country styles. There's some very useful stuff there too.

What a lot of folks don't realize is when it comes to the Real Tracks/Drums, all the styles are really just suggestions. You can mix any RT/RD together regardless what style you're using. All you really need to pay attention to are the tempo's and time signature. Too many people just work with what any given style gives them because that's what all the Biab advertising says. Pick a style and go. That's fine but it's very limiting.

Biab 2012 allows you to put different RT's on any instrument track on a per bar basis. Same for the RD's on the drum track. During testing last year one person created a song that had something like 20 different RT's in it. She changed the whole feel of the song like 6 or 8 times. You do this by clicking on any bar and hitting F5. In that window you can put any RT on any track starting at that bar. When you really think about those possibilites you soon realize you want as many different RT's as you can get.

Carlos Arellano is PG's spanish language forum moderator and is a killer guitarist. He created a Biab demo song called Latin Cowboy that is a Santana kind of thing with country fiddle solo's thrown in. Very cool you should check it out.
