Hello the biab's members,

Suffering in slaugherhouse

Kill to survive, we have no choice but to kill in the best conditions and respect for animals, this is what we unconsciously want in the near future

I composed this little music thinking that other people in the world are working for the respect of all the life that surrounds us in the animal and plant world which we know they have feelings, sensitivity just like us.


Realtracks used
Cello apocalypse 11 real bass, real string, real drum, real guitar melody and solo
More

Eastwest piano, bells etc.

Thanks if you want to listen or to comment this track.

Kinda dark but with the title, I didn't expect it to be a happy kind of song.

Nicely done. Mix is good.

Heavy. Great for a video game or a horror movie. Good arrangement.

Dark piece fits the topic well. Animals are treated like s**t in the world, from modern farming to fashion to entertainment to needless experimentation. Someday the world will realize this, and there will be change. Let's have some lyrics on this subject for your next one! (I"ve written an animal rights song, I need to find a singer for it).

It gives me pleasure to have some comments on this music made mainly with biab realtracks except for the intro ornaments and the reinforcement of the melody by vst piano and bells. The 1st part, I used the cello which supports the sadness. In the second part the lead guitar brings the rebellion side to this state of affairs

thanks to

Special mention to TuneMonger for his testimony.
I have never recorded my voice on a biab composition. I am Belgian and French speaking and it is difficult for me to write poems but if members could submit some poems to me, I could maybe try to bring my voice to my musical compositions

Again thank you to you and more on your songs.
The level of your compositions is so high that I hesitate sometimes to make a comment other than nice or well done.
But maybe it's a mistake on my part

Dero,

A good combination of metal and cello. Nice pumping bass and solid drums. The solo guitar is well done.

Good mix.

Dero,
I`m a sucker for that cello apocalypse style and you pace it nicely with the guitar really taking things up at an appropriate moment.
I`m with you on your feelings on animal treatment...no Amazon-raised beef patties for me!

who shares my life values

I'm glad this theme catches your attention. I only post on this site compositions made with biab on this forum. Biab has very good realtracks but should develop a lot of tracks in styles other than jazz which is really privileged. A lot of orchestral arrangements with soft variations should be done because they would allow to have a musical color in a majority of styles.

That is a great use of RT's in choice and mix.

Very effective use of the solo RT.

And it has a cinematic feel in a dark almost ominous fashion.

We like it! And, incidentally, we have eaten a plant based diet for the last 18 years. Irrespective of how "humanely" they might be slaughtered we have zero desire to eat them.

Well done.

Hi Janice and Bud,

Thank you for being on this composition which is close to my heart because I am to defend everything that lives and I cannot stand that humans do not respect others because often the so-called intelligent humans can crush everything in their path. At present, scientific research sheds light on what some consider the so-called inferior beings and we discover that they experience feelings and know pain and empathy just like humans.

Best regard

It's so great to read that others here on the forum are vegan or veg! I usually don't bring it up because I find people think it's weird. I haven't eaten any animal in 37 years!

As I mentioned, I have written a vegan song, but I need a singer who can belt rock WHO IS A VEGAN! I can't see having a meat eater sing this song. If anyone knows of one, hook me up. I will pay the singer. Of course, then, I will post the song here on the showcase.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
