I use EZ Drummer and just prefer the wider variety I can get with that and shape it to my liking. I don't need the midi drums either as EZ Drummer uses midi files from all sorts of locations. I wish they had Jazz guitar loops as they do for drums. Anyway, if you can how do you do it?

leonard:

Here's how I handle it.
In Options > Preferences > RealDrums

There is a "Global RealDrums Settings" area.
I don't want BIAB to add RealDrums to MIDI styles but I still want them (RDs) available if I decide to use them.

I leave "Enable RealDrums" checkbox on and
"Enable RealDrums style changes at any bar.

BUT

In the RealDrums Substitutions" area, I DISABLE the two checkboxes.

There's lots of variety in that window, you should be able to get what you need.
Good luck!

As for EZdrummer2 there's jazz EZX expansion for sounds i used quite often, right now on sale: EZX Jazz. Also a Jazz MIDI expansion pack, never regretted buying them, got 3/4s too, a rare thing it seems. Also spent time shopped on eBay and got quite a few MIDI, EDXs and SDXs packages from someone selling his stuff at a very good price. Jazz pack MIDI content see below ... F

If you have EZKeys try it with Jazz Guitar Midi and set it to send midi out to a guitar vst. Biab Chord Sheet to EZKeys
But if you want to fit Jazz Guitar Midi or Midi Loops over any chords or scale www.RapidComposer.com
Importing Biab Chords to RapidComposer

I have never been able to get ez drummer to map correctly with BIAB midi drums or any midi output available from real drums. Do you have a solution of step by step how you handle?

You can get a midi mapper vst but the problem with Biab you can't chain the midi vst's but you can if you use MiniHost vsti on the BB Midi Drum track and put something like https://www.codefn42.com/notemapper/ in front of EZDrummer.

Oh yea, got them already. Those were the first ones I chose. Also the Latin and blues midi's and drums. I also got groove monkey. They have a nice selection. Plus I've found various others online that give a lot of brushwork.I'll put a link to the ones I found so far

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!

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.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
