The best alternative is to use Realband. This allows users to regenerate only those regions of notes that they want to change. (BIAB, on the other hand, regenerates everything.) It's also possible to use copy and paste in Realband so that if you like a particular riff, simply copy and paste it into similar regions of the song.



What BIAB suggests is only ever that, a suggestion. If you have a look at some of the best songs in the User Showcase, it can be seen that it's possible to use tracks from genres that seem to have nothing to do with one another yet the sound obtained is terrific.

I've found that it always pays to be open-minded when selecting tracks. Just because one may be labelled "rock" doesn't mean that it won't work with "country" or "blues" etc.



Thank you very much for your response I really value the responses and opinions users and staff give on here smile It helps a lot.

first response:

That is too bad... every time I go into real band I last like 5 min then give up... I don't know why I despise it so much... maybe I need to grit my teeth and muck on through.....

second response:

I understand how the real track picker works laugh

what I am pointing out is the menu is not refreshing when I change a style. I experiment with different styles of real tracks all the time...


In a saved song If I start with a rock style, then go to real track picker it defaults to showing me the best rock real tracks by tempo that would fit, followed by others that may not.. or different styles that may or may not fit.

but in the same song, if I switch my song style to a completely different style say jazz, make chord changes ect... then go back to the real track picker I would expect it to default to show me the best jazz real tracks to fit my new style, but it still defaults to my original rock style... I find that odd.....
