And, I would add more country walking bass styles in both acoustic and electric forms. I love the old Ray Price shuffle used by many artists in country music----especially the classic country material.

Bumping this thread....still would love to see a country shuffle bass/style added..... Radney Foster's "Just Call Me Lonesome" or "I Couldn't Leave You If I Tried" by Rodney Crowell would be more recent examples - going further back, "Heartaches By The Number" or "Crazy Arms" would be older examples.

Roger,

The +++ Steel Guitar Forum +++ has a section devoted to Band-in-a-Box. At one time the forum offered a Ray Price midi style available for a $9 (US) donation. The style features four on the floor drums and shuffle bass. There are multiple patterns that can be selected using the A/B part markers.

For users interested in steel guitar the forum is a great resource.

I should mention there is a $5 (US) fee to join.

Thanks for the tip, Jim.

When in need, I've usually just played the bass part myself on my midi....I have a really good virtual bass plugin (amplesound.net) that sounds tremendous and is easy to use....I'm just getting lazy in my old age and BIAB has pretty much spoiled me.

I like the sound of the Amplesound instruments. Unfortunately they are a little above my pay grade. For someone making great sounding recordings like you they make economical sense.

In case you don't know, Amplesound released an update, V3 last week so you may want to check it out +++ HERE +++ .

Don't overlook the bass patterns in Band-in-a-Box's midi styles. Band-in-a-Box's midi patterns are as good as any you'll find anywhere.

You do not have to be a member of the Steel Guitar Forum to purchase the Ray Price midi styles. +++ HERE +++ is a webpage with a better description of the styles.

Amplesound bases do sound great. I was fortunate to win all of them in a contest. BiaB MIDI bass tracks sound great with them.


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.

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."
