I didn't mean your version Eddie, I meant Bob's original (the other Bob)
You know, for a fresh A/B comparison like you guys had a chance to do

Anyway, my result was much more the result I expected than I remember his being.

Turning thread back on target and engaging now to help him find a solution if he wants to.
RB don't act like that for the rest of us, so no wonder he has never enjoyed using it.
He might if he finds/fixes the issue.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

RE…Realband.
So far ive not much to complain bout 2022 rb (or bb) which ive been going through in detail. my audient sound device worked off the bat in rb 2022.
So there really was no faffiing around with settings.
I think the key to using rb, at least for me is ensuring that ones sound devices is set up properly in win audio device....cos i think the installer looks in win.

My only nits with rb are wishes like.. being to slow down the acw, and being to …in stylepicker having a selected style play demo using ones chord set like bb, and possibly....
A spleeter feature (instead of having to download a 3rd party sw.) cos i have lots of songs // stereo masters originally recorded on 2 inch tape eg studer i would like to remix like heavy rockers that float my boat done with
pro session blokes/musos.

So a dog went into a pub in shropshire called the “tipsy kitten” to order a pint of kibble… Ive always wanted to own a pub called that…lol.

Unfortunately we lost a lovely doggie that we spoilt rotten…still brings tears to me.
Wife and i are huge dog lovers.

< to slow down the acw >

I use to analyze songs in sections with the older version of the ACW that RB still uses. It might help you to see if it works for you.

Muso, when I read

"Unfortunately we lost a lovely doggie that we spoilt rotten…still brings tears to me. Wife and i are huge dog lovers."

it made my heart sink. It's been 18 months since I had to put the old timer down, but (and the point of this post) it's also been 18 months minus 3 days since I got THIS guy! There are dogs that need good owners like you in every shelter everywhere. Go see if one picks you out. Today!

Rum and Pepsi???? That is not a drink. Even the song is called Rum and Coca-Cola! LOL. Whatever you like is what you like am I right!


My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

When I ask for a Coke, and they say Pepsi, I then say please go to the bar and get me a Jack and Coke and hold the Jack. No self respecting bar is going to serve a Jack and Pepsi.

You are not alone. My wife drinks Pepsi. Personally I do not drink soda pop.

I buy generic stuff at Dollar Tree. $1.25 for a 2.5 liter bottle. As much of it as I drink, I'd better buy generic!!

And you know, it is now 2022. Can't we start having Coke and Pepsi in the same building??? This thing about being either a Coke house or a Pepsi house is ridiculous. I know in older days it was because of kickbacks in the form of lower pricing if they agreed to keep the competition out of the building, but it's not the old days anymore.

I remember when I was a little kid, so long ago Coke came in the little 7 ounce green tinted bottles. We were out for one of those family drives and we stopped in a little diner in some place that hadn't been discovered yet. We sat down. The girl brought menus. I knew I wanted a burger before I got the menu. My father ordered something. She came back in a minute and said they were out of it. He ordered something else. She came back in a minute and said they were out of that too. And in my father's true Bob Newhart sense of humor, he said "Tell ya what. Go back to the kitchen and just bring me a plate or bowl of whatever you still have left."

Then she asked about drinks. I ordered a Coke. When she finished taking our drink orders, I watched her go to the register, take a dime out, put it in the pop machine and get my Coke. When she brought it over I said "You know I could have done THAT..."

Even at 8, I was a smart azz....

In the eighties I met a man that worked for the Coke legal department. His job was to visit establishments that sold Pepsi. That was everything from fast food restaurants, movie houses, hotel bars and so on.

He would shop for some items and one of the items he would request was a Coke. If the server said, "I'm sorry but we offer Pepsi, is that okay?" then life was good. However, if the server said okay or brought the drink without saying anything then life was bad. He notified the legal department of the discrepancy. The establishment received a notice documenting the issue observed and a cease & desist order from Coke's Atlanta home office along with a suggestion to train their servers.

This guy told me he moved from area to area and might visit as many as 9 - 12 establishments a day.

Of course the purpose of the exercise was to prevent Coke from becoming a generic name for all colas. Pepsi has people performing the same job, they just visit places that sell Coke.

Many years ago I once drank far too much cola one evening.
I was pretty darned high for hours.
I haven't touched any cola since that evening.

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. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! 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.
