Back in the old days when playing organ we had a basic drum rail with 10 or so basic styles that we used for every thing we played. Now we have over 6000 styles to choose from. Most arranger players say they only use 20-25 different styles. Could someone provide a list of 20-25 basic styles to use in BIAB when first arranging a tune. After saving a basic arrangement one could then go back and attempt using different styles to get that perfect one.
Also could someone suggest a good style to fit most CCR rock tunes?

Dell 610 dual Monitor, win 7-10, Sonar Plat, ProTools 10 & 11, Reaper 4, BIAB/real Band 2022, Easy Drummer, Superior Drummer, Kontact Essentials, Personnel Orchestra, Korg Legacy Analog & Digital
If you sort by set# the first styles will be from 0 MIDI. They are the first basic styles PGMusic had back in the day. If you want RTs then scroll down to RT 1 for the first RTs. This of course assumes that you have the type set to all.
If you are looking for specific styles names you probably will get a different list from every forum member.
I can not help with the CCR question.
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.

Look at the Utility category in the StylePicker. (Category > OTHER > More ... > Utility Styles) Many of these styles are simple styles with one, two or three instruments with arrangements suitable for rehearsal or background accompaniment. There is also a click track style for just a metronome background.
Another good StylePicker category, at least for my songs, is Campfire. (Category > TRADITIONAL/WORLD STYLES > More ... > Campfire) One or two acoustic guitars and sometimes an acoustic bass with a shaker or tambourine. Again the arrangements are simple and suitable for rehearsal or background accompaniment.

Thank you!!!
And thank you, Earl, for starting this thread. I had the same question!

Video: Enhanced Melodists in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows®!
We've enhanced the Melodists feature included in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows!
Access the Melodist feature by pressing F7 in the program to open the new MultiPicker Library and locate the [Melodist] tab.
You can now generate a melody on any track in the program - very handy! Plus, you select how much of the melody you want generated - specify a range, or apply it to the whole track.
This new panel offers built-in specific support for the Reaper® DAW API allowing direct transfer of Band-in-a-Box® files to/from Reaper® tracks!
When you run the Plugin from Reaper®, there is a panel to set the following options:
-BB Track(s) to send: This allows you to select the Plugin tracks that will be sent Reaper.
-Destination Reaper Track: This lets you select the destination Reaper track to receive media content from the Plugin.
-At Bar: You can select a bar in Reaper where the Plugin tracks should be placed.
-Start Below Selected Track: This allows you to place the Plugin tracks below the destination Reaper track.
-Overwrite Reaper Track: You can overwrite previous content on the destination Reaper track.
-Move to Project Folder: With this option, you can move the Plugin tracks to the Reaper project folder.
-Send Reaper Instructions Enable this option to send the Reaper Instructions instead of rendering audio tracks, which is faster.
-Render Audio & Instructions: Enable this option to generate audio files and the Reaper instructions.
-Send Tracks After Generating: This allows the Plugin to automatically send tracks to Reaper after generating.
-Send Audio for MIDI Track: Enable this option to send rendered audio for MIDI tracks.
