BIAB 2022, when I listen to old country music, there seems to be a sentence, followed by a fiddle or guitar, just for a few bars, then the same again.
In BIAB do I have to mute the fiddle for the bars that there are vocals, or is there some sort of setting.
for example, background chording, background melody, solo?

Or is this a silly question?

No, you don't have to mute. A very common thing is to have the fiddle 'chop' a rhythm when not doing fills, melody or solo.

i think what you want to achieve is fiddle breaks between vocal phrases. so to achive what you want you might have to mute the rhythm fiddle playing chops where you want the fiddle breaks to avoid a clash and use multiriffs of a solo fiddle in the bars betweeen vocals.

depends how it sounds you might want to leave the rhtyhm fiddle playing and just add the breaks as a separate instrument - i've seen lots of old country bands with two fiddlers and the clip here show that you can never have too many.....

Look for RealTracks with "background" in the name.

You need to work differently.

Create the song in BB. Use RB to render the tracks. Then export them to a DAW where you can use audio editing features such as volume envelopes. That allows you to turn the fill instruments down or off when the vocal is happening.

Using that method is the easiest way that I have personally found. Once you learn how it's done, it's actually very quick and easy.

My DAW of choice is Cakewalk's Sonar. There's a bunch of others. And.... Real Band, which you have, is a DAW. It's got some downsides but it's fairly functional overall. Of course.... Cakewalk by Bandlab is free now so there;s that.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

As GH said finish in the DAW. I will say if you dig in RB will get it done.

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."
