It's not just solos. There is comping. It jacks up the rock genre a whole lot, and good country stuff. The most amazing thing is the new elastique pro that is used to make the Realtracks allows way more flexibility, with fewer actual sound files, so the result on a good machine is very fast, better sounding and more versatile styles.

It's like some sort of space age magic.

The wife and I were using a new style with accordion for a backing track/christmas music gig we are doing and we just faded the accordions and harmonicas we had in the style, I put in a bridge where she doesn't play and I comp with the track and at that point jack up the instruments, putting them into the background for the next verse.

Sounds amazing.

And I'm having fun deciding if Rudolph the Red ..is better in Country, Rock, or Jazz style. We ended up with a Bossa for fun.

I stuffed the descending thing from let it snow into a few measures and had that as vibes and from start to finish it took me about 3 minutes to take the song, add the intro, insert bars for the bridge, put in the chords, make it 3 verses, change the ending, and preview some styles.

Where can you even think of doing that except with band in a box..

Oh and by the way, I didn't have much christmas stuff, but if you need some I found a folder here called xmas: http://www.wesleydick.com/songlist.html

Now that's a really old website, and they keep it up for nostalgia reasons, I'm pretty sure he's passed on, for a while he had had a stroke and was disabled.....

The new version and realtracks enhancement can reduce the size of your files by 70 percent, and can 1/2 or double the tempo of the tracks without mucking them up.
