OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

It is sample-based and what thrills me is it comes with a ton of pre-programmed fingerpick and strum patterns. I can do stuff that sounds as good as or better than RealTracks! https://www.musiclab.com/products/realguitar/info.html

Unfortunately as of right now it is out of the question money wise. Maybe in the near future it will be possible to purchase.

Hi camong,
Welcome to Band-in-a-Box and to the forum.
+1. I support your request.
If you have not done so, please check out the "campfire" styles. They typically have two acoustic guitar RealTracks created by the same musician using the same instrument for each RealTracks. One RealTracks is usually finger picked while the complement is strummed. Using both at playback generally creates a very nice sounding backing track.
What many new users are not aware of is you can load a RealTracks twice and the program will try and select sections of the RealTracks that are not 100% identical but are different enough that it sounds like two really good musicians are on the same wavelength and groove. When it works, and it often does, it's truly magical.

When it works, and it often does, it's truly magical. This is a great tip! I will add that sometimes BIAB will put the exact same riff in the same bars on those two tracks. When you bring this into a DAW you will notice this as a problem especially when you are panning the two tracks left and right. But an easy solution is to just nudge one track 10ms earlier and the second one 10ms later. Problem solved!

Another acoustic guitar finger pick VST program is +++ Fingerpick +++ by Realitone. It is a VST instrument that is “Powered by Kontakt” and works in the free Kontakt Player. Realitone also has another acoustic guitar VST instrument called +++ Acoustic Lite +++ that sells for $29 US. +++ Amplesound Lite II +++ does not require Kontakt or any other engine as Amplesound have developed their own. The samples are from a Martin D-41. The VST includes a strummer, it reads guitar tab, has built-in effects and is FREE. The site has links to great tutorials and the manual

I would say I’d use the finger picking styles the most, even now.
