When you're feeling nervous about an upcoming significant event (an exam, a job interview, a presentation, a tournament, a recital, a first date, etc.) for which you can't prepare yourself any more than you already have, you have reached a point where all you can do is hope for the best! Since my composition method is somewhat experimental, "Hoping For The Best" is also my motto when I start working on a new piece.  https://soundcloud.com/david-laprise/hoping-for-the-best-1Title: Hoping for the Best Key=D , Tempo 107, Length (m:s)=3:59 8 bar intro, 32 bar chorus, from bar 9 to bar 40. Repeat x3 choruses All tracks are from BIAB: RealTracks in song: 2421:Bass, Acoustic, RockabillySlapBoomChicka Ev16 100 ~1652:Organ, RhythmNoBass Bossa Ev 085 2111:Sax, Baritone, Background, R&B Ev16 110 (1TrackHornSection) 1410:Piano, SynthLayer, Rhythm Soul70sA-B Ev16 100 1070:Trumpet, Soloist SmoothJazzPoppy Ev16 090 STYs in song: ~OTISRED.STY (drum part) plays Ableton Drum Machines LD samples MARIAH1.STY (piano part) plays NI Kontakt Clavinet samples Everything was mixed in Ableton Live! with a Room reverb on the send/return bus.

Put a smile on my face I'm totally surprised how well the rockabilly acoustic bass matches the feel of the other instruments. Great arrangement. Hope you'll do some more songs, should be interesting listening.

You showed how a little experiment, pushing the envelope a bit, can really make something interesting happen. I think this track is pretty cool, and bounces along with a little bit of New Orleans style in there. I would love to hear more of your 'experimental' approach!

Band-in-a-Box® Resource: Installing Your RealTracks
Properly installing your RealTracks and setting up the directory should be done before you try to create a song with Band-in-a-Box®.
During the setup process, make sure you note the location you've installed these to when you're looking at the "Select Destination Location" window (typically this is your C:\bb folder). Then, when you're in Band-in-a-Box, visit the RealTracks Preferences (settings) window and double check the "Custom RealTracks folder" location to confirm it's the same as your installed location. If not, simply place a checkmark next to "Use a customer folder location..." and update the path.
The next time you open the RealTracks Picker, choose [Rebuild and Fix] button, and you'll see the entire list of your installed RealTracks... don't forget to [Rebuild] your StylePicker too!
Note: the same steps apply to the RealDrums.
