I am working on a song that has a 12/8 feel, and I am using the Nashville 128 RealDrums pattern, which fits real well, but for bass, guitar, and piano, I am not seeing any that specify the 12/8 feel.

Are there any of the others that would work?


If ever a man had it all, it would have to be me, and ooh I love you

There are a couple of 12/8 RTs - Bass and Pedal Steel. If you have them and not seeing them, the tempo is probably out of range. They still may work though. Also, try any swing feel RT. I've found most of the jazz RTs fit fine into 12/8.

There are a lot of RealTracks that work well with 12/8. In general, any slow, Swing 8th note style will work. This is because we think of 12/8 as a slow 4/4 with a triplet feel. For example, Moonlight Sonata could be considered (by us anyway) to be in 4/4, with a triplet feel.

Examples of RealTracks like this are _CRYSTAL.STY which sounds like this

Also, Blues slow ones like _MDDYSLD.sty
sounds like this... http://64.40.109.32/audio/allstyledemos/_MDDYSLD.wma

Another group of styles that work are Waltz styles played in "Triple Time". That will take a waltz (3/4) at a tempo of 150, and play it like it was a 4/4 style at a tempo of 50, so that each beat has a full bar of waltz. That is esp. useful for soloists.


Have Fun!

kerkenat,

You can also use the style filter to narrow down styles that have the same feel and tempo of a selected style. It works great for things like a 12/8 time, feel and tempo styles. You have to set one as a "prototype" first by selecting a style that is similar, then click prototype button, then up to the filter button to have the filter narrow down like-minded styles.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
