It would be nice if we could "make" our own super packs by choosing the RealTracks we want. I don't buy the packs because I only want maybe one out of the group. I don't use the midi ones at all.
I don't upgrade often because I need only a small % of BIAB to create new songs and work on my solos etc. I create backup files for playing dulcimer and fiddle.
Something created for the folk musician would make my day!

Hi Victoria,
I noticed that even though you have been a forum member since 2011 you do not often post so welcome!
Interesting thoughts. Several forum members have stated they use only midi styles and not RealTracks while other forum members state they use only RealTracks. I don't believe I have seen another member suggest offering individual RealTracks.
Some RealTracks have multiple variations. Normal and bluesy are two examples that come to mind. Sometimes you have the same theme (Rockabilly for example) with the same instruments or sounds spread over multiple tempos. What are your thoughts about how situations like that should be handled?

Victoria, there is a style in BIAB called blank, that is both a swing style an even style. I use this a lot for times when, I want to create something close to the song I want to create a backing track for. Yes, ninety nine percent of the time, the styles work for me, but that one percent of the time when the song may be in same style but sort of in-between, I'll use the blank style and combine certain RTs. Also, I like to use the genetic RTs, the ones where it's just a guitar doing strumming patterns, the piano held where it holds chords based on the chord progression, and the guitar held which does the same as the piano held. Those work fine for me. Also after re-reading your post, check out the bluegrass and celtic styles. I recently started playing mandolin and a lot the songs written for mandolin, or feature it are usually in the celtic and bluegrass genre.

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."
