In my opinion a very simple and useful evolution would be to be able to choose which variation of each instrument (inclunding real tracks, solos) in which bar.
For example on one fill-in bar, choose which fill-in I can use in this particular bar.
For now, as I understand, BIAB regenerates variations rand randomly only.
I know I can freeze an instrument, but I cannot freeze a single bar. And anyway, this is boring to regenerate several times until finding exactly what I want...
I know I can force BIAB to choose certain variations (modifying style files), but once again, this is for the whole song.
But I would like to choose each variation of each bar for each instrument, to have a more consistant song. Inluding solo phrases.
Note : I don't ask to do this in real time while song is playing, of course
Or is there any way to do that in BIAB 2010 ?
For the moment, I have regenerate and record songs several times, then choose variations into an audio editor (Adobe audition) and put this all together which is long and boring...
Thanks for his great product !

Sounds like you want Band in a Box to turn into Sony Acid.
In other words, a standard manually selected audio looping software...
If you investigate the inner workings of the Styke Editor, you can do what you want to do.

It may be done via RB right off the bat ... without even glimpsing at the Style Editor.

I'm with Martin.
However, being able to freeze selected bars would be a nice addition. One, two, or more.

Following the Wishlists for the two programs, it is starting to seem that people want BiaB to be more like Realband -- and other people want RealBand to be more like BiaB...
This is interesting.

Band-In-A-Band? RealBand-In-A-Box?
and since RealBand has its roots with PowerTracks: PowerTracks-In-A-RealBox? PowerBand?

OK, you seem to be sure... How do I select the loop I want for each bar with the style editor ?

This would only work for MIDI files, but how often a pattern is selected is based on it's weighting in the style. So, one thing you could do is to change weights. A higher weight gets selected more often. Read about style pattern weighting in the help file.
Another thing you can do is to create multiple style files from one style file, with each one including only the patterns you want. Since you can insert a new (MIDI) style at any bar, then you could, for example have a consistent set of patterns that might work for a number of bars, but then change to a new style for the next number of bars to get a different pattern. It's a lot of work (well, more thinking about what you want and auditioning the styles to get the patterns you want), but I would think doable. Be sure to rename your styles, so you don't overwrite the original one and realize that you would then need to rebuild your style list to see them (in the "other styles" category).
Again, this is for MIDI only - not for RealTracks.

Another way is to use the bar masks in style maker pattern options to set up a chain of patterns of 8 bars length assigning a 9 weighting to each one. This should screen out all the other patterns except for those that kick in as specific chord type riffs, post-fills or fills which can be muted. Then you can reimport the patterns genrated from an exported midi and make a new style out of your favourite patterns.
Regards
Alan
