Any chance of adding  Tejano music styles such as guapango, polka, valse, cumbia. Normally these styles would require a button accordian, bajo sexto (Mexican 12 string guitar), drums and bass.

I second this. I am learning the button accordion and would love to be able to use band in a box to practice with. I am a prospective customer and I specifically came to this site looking for this.
If it does not exist, how many people would be the critical mass needed for the style to get created? There is a huge forum online that is for accordion players and bajo sexton/quinto players that could be tapped and I'm sure that there would be some interest.
Thanks,
-E

Tejano styles were introduced few years ago and they consist of RealTracks; the polkas and 4/4 styles are very good. I play a number of Little Joe tunes and others.
For me, only thing missing is a good solo accordion. I forget if it's possible to preview styles online.

I am interested in that, always for new music from all over the world.
Please says me, which styles you mean.
Or you could send me Band Names or MIDI Files.
I would try to make a Style out of that and upload it.

Here are some examples from a horn player in a tejano group: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cYw9jdSS8s Instrumentation: Horns (somewhat covered by one of the keyboard players in this live example - plus the tenor lead) Accordion (diatonic, button - similar to harmonica - carry multiple keys of accordion depending on the tune's key) Keyboards (which cover horn, strings, guitar, synth sounds, electric piano, etc) Bass Drums (generally an emphasis on the upbeat) Vocals/harmonies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4-IGnQGU18 Similar instrumentation - but with actual guitar (distorted, lead and clean rhythm guitar w/primarily an upbeat figure) Lead sax here is an alto. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcCE7gaUxOUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF9oyaAA4S4 Similar instrumentation - add a more full horn section with trumpets (2+), trombone, tenor sax, bari sax (or alto sax) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEs02X74gAM Similar instrumentation - add a more full horn section with trumpets (2+), trombone, tenor sax, bari sax (or alto sax) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHqfDYs55Qw Same group as above, different style https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scHMPQZG97A Different group - similar instrumentation with more full horn section. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU9IwVHo2Ik As above https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxQ6KwVmXI4 More keyboard centric - subtract large horn section and subtract accordion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqxIPMxQk8g Similar instrumentation as above https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoS3Rim5kVk Instrumentation for this tune varies - later versions have more keyboard and two trumpets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax4tmeB9IQg Back to Latin breed - distorted guitar + full horn section https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-1GeOwo6p4 Ballad - more trombone featured https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc5Fb5Ze_UA Horn section, accordion, percussion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm1ah5j_f5A Full horn section, no accordion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDUo2X3d-fg Accordion, alto sax (not as full of a horn section) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwrtIFJXkXchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VhNi9A9Dkg Accordion/Bajo Sexto + (alto sax, keyboard used sparingly) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOohegkcZpAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Xy_Qpk4qXc Full horn section (trumpets, saxes, bone), keys, accordion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PgPaeyDtJohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzgx3AcMl3Q( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qt43UpdakY live version - accordion, guitar, keys, alto sax) ...

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.

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."
