Hi Mike,
What style of B3 Solo did you have in mind (Blues, Gospel etc)?

I agree - what about getting Chris Nole back in the studio?
I would love to hear a solo organ realtrack by him in a bluesy style.
I would also like to hear some of his piano work in the Realtracks.

While I understand the request is for B3 Hammond organ soloist RealTracks I don't remember previously seeing a similar request or a commitment from PG Music to produce any. Mike K I'm just wondering where the Whatever happened to Hammond B3 Soloist? heading and Just curious... is that still a consideration? are coming from?

Hi Jim,
"a commitment from PG Music to produce any"
How do we access a list of the New Realtracks that PGMusic has committed to?

+1 for the wishlist suggestion for Hammond B3 solos. Nigel, I am not aware of such a list. I'm guessing you knew that. Are you aware of a list like that? I performed a forum search through 15 years of Peter Gannon's posts and found ONE mention of the word Hammond and the mention was not made by him. That 2010 post is +++ HERE +++

There's a 4 year old post here Hammond B3 Soloist8 years ago Simpler Jazz Swing B3 If you could list some Biab Styles/Sw Ev/Tempos you want these for here, this would help. Or, RealTrack combinations.

I got onto ReaTracks Artist Chris Nole and suggested creating some UserTracks that could be purchased from his website. There could maybe be a short free UserTrack for each instrument as a demo, then ones with a lot more material for purchase. He would like to offer up tracks, styles, keyboard instruments that people are needing/wanting. You can find examples here https://chrisnole.com/online-piano-tracksSo any suggestions would be much appreciated. If you could suggest Biab Styles/Sw Ev/Tempos for the keys listed below including B3.

R&B-Soul, Americana, and New Age genres.

Pipeline,
Thanks for the two links where B3 is mentioned. From the tone of MikeK's initial post I assumed Mike knew of a Peter Gannon agreement for more B3 RealTracks so that is what I searched for.
I think contacting Grammy award winning RealTracks keyboard artist Chris Nole and getting him to agree to custom make B3 and other keyboard UserTracks is a bold and great idea. I really hope many Band-in-a-Box users will hire Chris to create custom UserTracks or Artist Performance tracks. I'd love to see a viable third party UserTracks industry develop.

Nope, this request has been made a long time ago and has never been answered. There never was an acknowledgement by PG that they would be looking into this request. Still want it, as apparently others do

I am as newbie as you can get. I've had BIAB for a week. I have about a dozen early stage songs since I've started have the B3 in about 10 of them. I don't know what I am missing if there are more hiding some place, being so new to BIAB, but I've counted 4 realtracks. Two POP background, One Blues background and one Reggae Rhythm. A few more background styles and few soloist would be great (Jimmy Smith, oh yeah)
