You know it would really be great if we could have some real vocal backing on BIAB.
That would make make the program complete for me.

It would be nice to have one part solo ooohs and aaahs, two part harmony, and four part harmony...just female voice, just male voice, harmony female, harmony male, and mixed female/male. Maybe Manhattan Transfer is available to record them.

I would love some good vocal background RTs. In my sampletank VSTi I have some nice Ohhs and Ahhs, but RT versions would really be cool.

In addition to the vocal backings, I would just add a wish for a group of sustaining string styles, along with styles of sustaining organ styles.

Also, how about adding some neat scat singing that follows the chord changes? Imagine trading fours with that?

Maybe the specialists at pgmusic should take a listen to the vocal oohs, ahhs, and scat singing in the new Yamaha Tyros 4 that will soon be available. Demos now on youtube and elsewhere.

I agree with the wish for a horn section. I do a lot of Western Swing and Country. I'd love to have a Mariachi horn section to add to a Western Swing sound!

Realistic OOOhs and Ahhs would be just great. But why stop there? It would be great to have a full choir, male and female, and both, and maybe a children's choir.
Santa, are you reading this?

I'll give a big +1 to Harvey's list.
I just had a listen to the Tyros 4 on YouTube. The "shoo-be-do-bop" vocal with wavecyling is cool, although obviously of dated. A lot of the vocal "magic" of the Tyros relies on being able to play specific pitches to match the melody - for example, the various "scat" demos. Also, the phrasing is pretty robotic.
On the other hand, having various vocal pads ("doo", "ahhh", "oooh") RealTracks would be pretty awesome, because you can change RealTracks on a per-bar basis. That's not enough to have the backing vocals sing "doo-bah" behind the lead, but it adds a lot of variety.
While changing on a per-beat basis would be cool, that's probably easier done with volume envelopes in RealBand (or your multitrack of choice).
The same thing would be cool for slow strings - a high, middle and low pitched set that could be switched between would be great.
While vocal pads and slow strings could be relatively static, I'm curious if anyone would like to elaborate as to what "horns" could be. Is there a particular style you're suggesting? It seems that's a rather large area...

While we're naming current vocal groups for possible Real Tracks, how about The Blenders? Ever heard of them? Four guys in the Minneapolis area, Dakotas, or somewhere up north. They're known for their Christmas albums, but do a lot of other material as well. Great harmony.

It is really not that ahrd to sing a ohh and an ahh on a separate track. Clone it and change the pitch a 3rd and or a 5th. take a track and sing a harmony over the lead and run that thru the TC plugin as one voice and do several separate tracks and slowly blend them in.
I use my TC voice works and program out the lead voice and record one harmony at a time.
Where RTs wouls come in handy is that after a while your own voice starts to sound the same and having another voice helps sound more diverse.
So many options and ideas!!!

I agree. That would be great.
Real Vocals.
I also would like to see Real Strings--a string section playing sustained chords, that could be used in any style.

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.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
