Hello,
I was wondering if any users would be interested in PG Music creating 70's prog styles for RealBand.
For example styles like GENESIS, Yes, Rush, King Crimson, Jethro Tull........
Drum beats with off meters like Bill Bruford plays.
Just a thought. Maybe PG might consider this in the very near future.
What do you all think?
Cheers,
VoxBox

I'm all for this but I can see a problem with BiaB limited to 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4 when exported to a DAW.
However it is still a good idea.

I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"

Thanks for the request! Can you post in some specific song examples of a few styles that you might like to see?

Hi Alan,
Those are all excellent suggestions, thanks! It does bring up a point of discussion though, regarding odd time signatures. You mentioned some very old odd-time-signature styles that we did in Band-in-a-Box, but the problem with those kinds of RealDrums and RealTracks is that they then are really only useful for a single song, can't be mixed-and-matched with other RealTracks, etc. etc. As such, though it might not be exactly what you want, a guitar part like that in the first King Crimson example above would be much more versatile in Band-in-a-Box if it were shoe-horned into a 4:4 style. But then of course in Band-in-a-Box you can THEN change it to an odd time signature. For example, you can select 7:4, which Band-in-a-Box interprets as alternating between bars of 4:4 and 3:4. Or you could do 5:4 by alternating between bars of 3:4 and bars of 2:4.
Then of course in addition to that, if you have suggestions for ideas that might make the current method of doing odd time signatures better, those kinds of suggestions could go in the main program feature wishlist. For example, right now, when it takes a 4:4 style and turns it into 7:4 by turning every other bar into 3:4, it does so by simply chopping off the last beat of those 3:4 bars. Users might want to experiment with it instead cutting of the FIRST beat of that second bar. Or maybe it sounds better with some instruments cutting off some beats, and others cutting off other beats. Etc. etc.
Anyway, again, thank you for those suggestions, and some of those certainly could provide inspiration for new RealTracks, in some way or other.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
