A word about the jazz keyboard real tracks. Sadly they are deficient. I suggest that you focus on better voice leading for piano comping real tracks in the future.
That would be great but remember what Real Tracks are, generic audio files that are part of Biab. The user puts in the chord changes. If you are in the studio recording a Real Track, how can you voice lead when you don't know what the song is? All they can do is to cover as many standard chord progressions as they can and hope for the best.

Please re-do (or add to) those great sounding B3 organ styles and use an acoustic bass instead of, or in addition to, the pedal bass. I realize you wanted to be faithful to the style, but I'm so addicted to those great acoustic bass tracks (and it's so hard to growl an organ pedal).

I quite like the jazz acoustic bass in real Tracks but find the bassist is too busy and overplaying....sometime almost like he is taking a solo. If he could more closely follow the root of the chords...think Ray Brown and Paul Chambers. The simple and very simple alternatives have helped, but still far too busy for jazz playing in my opinion.

If you mean with minimal effects (reverb, etc.), the term you want is "dry".

Would love to have an acoustic bass at ballad tempo that is less busy. The current ones act as if they'd much rather play the lead. Having the bass in a supporting role might be nice for a change  Philip

I'd love anything that could support the New Orleans grooves like those in Congo Square (neville Bros, and Sonny landreth), or Iko, Iko ("My flag boy xxx your flag boy, sittin' by the fire..."), or the songs by Lil' Feat like Dixie Chicken, and Fat Man in the Bathub... These are infectious grooves that invariably set feet a tappin'...

Hi Philip
+1 here. I also would like a more laid back accompaniment on certain ballads. A least to have the choice depending on what we want. Seems that all the basses in ballads get "busy" during solo choruses.
Best of all and hope your day is a nice one
