Could someone point me to an explanation of the technical process that allows realtracks to get used to make a backing track? From a high level I imagine a recording being made of a trumpet player, which is incorporated into a realtrack (whatever that means), then I type a page full of chords and select a style that has that trumpet player on it, and poof, I get a backing track that I can play along with. Is there an explanation somewhere of how this is done? It seems quite baffling how the transition is made from taking whatever the trumpet player originally played, and modifying it to fit my chord progression.
tnx

In your example:
The Trumpet Player records various parts using differing (defined) chords. These make the realtracks (RTs)

BiaB slices/dices these to match your chords (using audio transposition) from the markers available.
RTs are audio that get adjusted to fit your chords .. with some artificial intelligence to help.

That's as simple as I can try to explain it.

Thanks rharv. Is it the AI that allows the transition from one measure/chord to the next? I can imagine using chord tone guidelines that make a nice transition across measures if I did it by hand, but a computer doing such a good job is pretty amazing.

If I'm correct, there is a video on how you can make UserTracks yourself. I believe the explanation would help in how RealTracks are made.

PS: I should clarify that it's a trade secret with PG, however the concept should help.

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!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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.
