How about some more modern sounding indie rock real styles in the style of bands like Snow Patrol, The Arctic Monkeys or The Killers? Obviously nothing too derivative of any of their actual songs but just some styles that have that kind of
Indie vibe.

Many thanks

Aubrey

Yes, that would be a nice change of pace, sometimes. Anyone?

I am for any new styles that will broaden BiaB's appeal. Plus I like to mess around with different styles.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Set RealBand/Biab to the same tempo then Import the wav.
Set part markers where the fills are and green where it changes drumming.
On the second last bar where the Ending starts set F5 Bar Settings > UserTrack Development Check > Ending Starts on this Bar (4 bar ending)
Save as UserTrack with Drum in the file name.

I made this tutorial for UserTrack Drums but found out that when the tempo map is saved in the SGU it rounds each tempo off that causes everything to be out of sync so until that is fixed in Biab use RealBand. This guide will show how to convert a drum (& instruments) track to a constant tempo.

If you have a live recording you want to add tracks to and the tempo varies a bit in you drum tracks just load it into ACW in RB (as Biab doesn't do an accurate tempo map) and ACW will quickly line up the beats to bars, just set the first beat of bar 1, then adjust any bar markers if need be, ACW will do the rest. You will have chords but you can Edit > Chords > Delete then enter the chord of the song.
You can then click Metronome > write to track,
this will give you a tempo mapped midi you can drag into any DAW first then the audio tracks.

Full screen



Now to convert it to a constant tempo for a UserTrack or use in Biab:

Export the the Metronome midi track by dragging the track number to DROP MID.

Drag the Midi into Reaper (Reaper is free to try n try http://www.reaper.fm/download.php ) import the tempo map of the midi file.

Drag the Drum track into Reaper (and instruments).

Create an Action Hotkey to move to next beat and insert Stretch Marker, Actions > Show Action List > New .

View show Master Track.

Right click on Tempo points > select all

Right click on Tempo points > reset points to zero/center

Highlight from start to end.

Item > Snap Stretch Markers within time selection to grid.

Save Track/s to wav

Now you can bring it in Band in a Box, RealBand or PowerTracks with a constant tempo.

Yeah - I (Alan) lover messing around with blending various styles. And, as the OP stated, it might broaden the appeal of the program.

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.

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."
