The others have given you good info already so I'll add a real world example for you. There's a classic style called Herbie. Guess who that is? PG can't use full artist's names or real song names because of licensing and copywrite issues. The style happens to be <cough> very similar to Canteloupe Island. The piano and bass parts are right on the money, the only thing is that same riff is playing over the entire song and it shouldn't but you can control that. There's a lot of styles like that but you get to play detective to figure them out.

There's a bossa/swing style called Dolfin. Guess what that is based on? It doesn't mean it's only good for Green Dolphin Street it's great for anything you want to switch between a bossa style for the A part and a swing style for the B part.

However, these styles are only there to get you started for convenience. There is already the ability to hit F5, go into the bars settings and change the style anywhere you want in the tune based on the chorus and bar number. You could have a song start as a bossa, switch to a shuffle rock, then to a urban grunge to a gypsy jazz with hip hop drums and finaly end as a country waltz. Hmmm, that would be a strange tune wouldn't it? Believe it or not it's easily done. Carlos the Spanish forum moderator, did a demo song called Latin Cowboy, a country fiddle solo with some Santana style tracks. It's linked around here somewhere. Killer tune and he's a killer guitarist too. He did the jazz fusion guitar Real Tracks.

The point is you can do litarally almost anything. It does start like Eddie said with you knowing what a chord progression is and proper chord names. If you're not familiar with that then like Mac said Biab is also a very good educational tool. There's the chord builder window that can teach you all you need to know about 7b9's, augmented 11th's or 13ths, whatever. That window won't teach you what will sound good together but all you have to do is load them into the chord grid and find out. One chord sounds bad, change it and regenerate.

All of us including me could go on and on with examples but I think this is enough for now. Check out all the demos and listen to stuff in the User Showcase.

I agree about the Audiophile version. If you're not a legitimate studio producer you don't need it. Unless you have years of experience, a $3,000 monitoring system with killer amps in an acoustically treated control room you won't hear any difference at all.
