Hi All,
I find it a bit of a pain in realband to preview a style, its easy to do in biab just open the stylepicker window and then press "play" in the stylepicker and it will just play the new style over the existing chords.
Not so in realband, I find it a real pain to preview a style with an existing open song.
I wonder Mr Gannon if you could do something about this in an update?
Kind regards
Jan

This has been mentioned before. +1
The capability of adding individual midi parts to RB projects is amazing... but the inabilty to preview the parts makes the feature inconvenient to use effectively.
ability to preview midi from styles would be a MAJOR enhancement to RB... people would get a lot of use out of it. Especially given the sheer number of midi styles , it would unlock literally thousands of new creative opportunities... and it would make RB more user friendly to the MIDI only user base.

Finally, I have found a cool signature with sufficiently dry humor.

I think the thing to keep in mind here is RB is not Biab even though it has a lot of Biab functions. There's no problem in keeping both programs open as long as they both are not using ASIO. Just click back to Biab to audition styles.
In RB I will only highlight maybe 8 bars of an empty track and generate a part if it's a Real Track or Drums and if you want to hear the substyles pick a section that overlaps those. Much faster generation than doing the whole song. If it's a midi part it doesn't matter, midi generates quickly anyway. Another thing to keep in mind is the "generate all Biab tracks" command. This thread sounds like you are starting out with a Biab song and then expanding it to include new tracks below those Biab tracks. When you use that command only the blue Biab tracks get regenerated, not the other ones. If you don't want a Real Drum track to keep getting regenerated turn that off.

good point. That's a workaround we can use NOW. But this *IS* the wish list forum, a place for expressing ideas that would make the product more user friendly. It really would be handy to demo various midi parts in the context of the current song.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
