You bet they are. A Winner! Here is the SGU for the BT I made for ON BROADWAY-BENSON STYLE. It suits me because I don't play Jazz ( I haven't the ability) and it works OK as a short 3 key, 3 minute Fun session. A lot more work can be put in, better Bass etc but you only live so long.  Feel free to use if it suits - and feel free to add your own embellishments, changes etc etc to it - and post them here, maybe??!! 8 bar Intro 2 runs in D 1 run in Eb 2 runs in E then running out to long fade etc as you fancy. https://app.box.com/s/v84gzzp580bvzr9t48rghieql5umltwyBests Ian

All
ok i'm getting lots of styles i can use for bway guide traks from my 2020 ultrapak,
heres 2 more pretty tight ones for rough bed guide for laying down vocs.
_DAWNING
_DENVER
i'm gradually going thru every single style.
you night think i'm crazy doing that BUT that way i dont
miss any neat nuggets of sound.
for example today i found some subtle biab synth sounds that might be usefull.
i'll post more styles as i come across usefull ones.

from now on i'll use just this one post to add all the
styles i discover for on bway. its a very lengthy process..and can take a loooong time...
but highly worth it so i dont miss out on important nuggets of sound.
so heres some more styles i like
which i'll be adding to in the next weeks as i explore all the styles.
_ELCB120
_ELFLUTE <<very interesting sound
_GIMLET,_GRASPOP,_HDBEV85,_JAZFNPK <nice funky pops
_JBREEZE,_JBRZEPS,_JMOVNF,_JZFNKHS
(lots of the jazz funk movin/groovin styles are nice)

ok..the schlager styles ..to quote monty python are different, but certain RTs/parts might impart a modern
aspect to bway.
eg synth 2406 in _SCHLGR3 ie...back in a mix.
seems to syncopate with the chord sheet nicely.
after the RT styles i'll work my way thru all the midi styles.
yes i knowc lots of songwriters will question why i laboriously audition every single bb style with the
bb chord arrangement....but my way i miss nothing.
btw looks like key of D will be my chosen key to do bway.
after various voc tests.
cos i can do various neat voc harmonies/scats with the key.
hopefully this thread will help people new to bb ,
showing my alt way/method of doing a song in bb.

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."
