With Band-in-a-Box® 2007, we added RealDrums, which program users were THRILLED to see!

So, with Band-in-a-Box® 2008 we added RealTracks! Initially, 3 were released:
1. Real Pedal Steel
2. Real Acoustic Guitar
3. Tenor Sax soloing (RealSax)

Do you remember these? We do! We got a chance to "show them off" at Musikmesse that year, and the response was overwhelming - EVERYONE loves RealTracks! Adding real instruments played by top studio musicians adds an exciting human element to all your Band-in-a-Box songs!

Now there are over 2,900 RealTracks available in RealTracks Sets 1-352! Get them ALL with every Band-in-a-Box® 2020 UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, or Audiophile Edition.

Other new features added when we released Band-in-a-Box® 2008 included:
-MultiStyles
-Medley Maker
-Key signature changes at any bar
-"Fixed Do" Chord Entry and Display
...and more!

To reminisce on all the features released with older versions of Band-in-a-Box®, head to Help | Contents | Features within the program. There are separate lists going all the way back to Band-in-a-Box® Version 7!
As much as I've talked big on Midi-this-and-that in the Showcase forum in recent times, I can't deny the fact is it was for the RTs that I first invested in BBox. And not only that, but this then had the chain reaction of me taking the plunge into a whole "new" Operating System for my platform which this innovation required, something which I had dragged my feet on for some 7-8 years up to that point, if my math is correct shocked

All because of you guys (and RTs)!

Eddie,
Thanks. Your great (and ongoing!) help over the years has been invaluable, and thanks for that!

I remember very well when RealDrums were first added. A game changer!

I had been using BIAB for about five years at that point, and the first thing I would do after creating a song was to throw away the BIAB midi drums and build a new drum track using audio drum loops via a program called ACID Music.

It could take me as long as a day to build a decent drum track using loops, getting the fills in the right place etc. So RealDrums was a real timesaver, I could get a good sounding drum track with the click of a mouse.

Also remember the first version with RealTracks, I did a song back in the day using that first Pedal Steel RealTrack.
