I'm trying some user tracks in real band but I need to load different song demos to try them with - but I'm held up here on the roadside without being able to hit the load demo song button in the style picker uhrrrrrr ! it's been a fair old while since it was reported - I guess I'll have to thumb my way over to BC to see what's going on, oh hang on there's a Cadillac pullin up now !

UserTracks are made by users, not PG Music. UserTracks are not stored on the PG Music website. The UserTracks demos are also created by users and stored offsite. RealBand or BiaB do not link to UserTracks.

Sorry, you might have one of the older versions of real band where you can click "load song demo" in the style picker window and it will load a demosong.sgu but in the new 2016 version they have forgotten to put the button in due to the christmas rush - so now if I create a user track or download one and I want to see what styles it fits with I go into the style picker click load song demo then I choose generate user track I select the new user track and play the demo song and listen to see if it fits with that style - but I can't as there is no load song demo button in the new style picker even though it shows in the help document that comes up when I click the help button in the style picker. Bellow is a picture I uploaded that shows the missing button in the help but not in the actual window - band in a box has it in the style picker and also on the main app window style button drop down menu - load song demo for this style [CHETPK2.STY] but I need it in real band as I can't generate up new sections where the user tracks are over transposed in band in a box - where the guitar sounds like a mandolin.

I apologize. From the post subject heading and content of your post I understood what you said as you wanted to hear UserTracks demos. But now I understand is that you meant you want to demo styles so you can select a style that will work with a specific UserTracks. My mistake. I'm sorry I misunderstood you.
Yes, the loss of the load demo song button has been reported to PG Music.

Sorry about that was trying to squeeze it all in.
I think that might be a good idea you came up with ! - to have a demo of the user track playing with the band - like they have with real tracks n drums a little tick box to play the full band demo or unticked to play just the user track solo - it could just look for the "Demo.mp3" in the user tack folder.

Yes, and this will be fixed in next free RealBand patch.
The idea for a .sgu and or audio (wma/m4a etc) demo for UserTracks is good too, and should be easy to add (to BB and RealBand).
Thanks
Have Fun!

Seeker and some other UserTracks creator have posted links to demos of their UserTracks so the information is available for many of the UserTracks. A demo to here the UserTracks in context is useful.

I changed the help button to load song demo and put the OnClick LoadSongDemoClick into it but it just goes back to real band with no demo loaded.  Maybe that whole group dialog was disabled because the "play with current chord sheet" would not work with real band so the load song demo button was left out also being in that group.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
