Is there a place anywhere that gives us some teaser soundbytes that explain to me why I should spend almost $200 to move on to 2022? Are the new styles anything more than new styles made from those same old artists or is there actually new content from new players? What does "60 additional RealTracks" really mean? More Brent Mason scratch tracks that sound like every one he has ever done? (Meaning "How many notes can I fit in here?") With all the discussion in the wish list forums about wanting some fresh blood, were those requests honored even a little bit? I'd really like the opportunity to hear what I am buying before I spend money on something that doesn't really sound much better than what I have now.
Does such a thing exist?

I smashed the hell out of my car today. When the cops came I told him "Officer, that guy was BOTH texting and drinking a beer." The cop said "Sir, he has every right to do that. I mean, it's HIS living room..."

MoultiPass's top link above lets you listen to samples of the new RTs. Lots to explore, not sure what you were looking for. Also not sure where you got '60 additional RealTracks' from, more like 200+, and yes, some of them are a nice change and well worth it. But that's a personal opinion, not right or wrong; you have to decide.
// This is the RB forum, was this where you intended to ask?
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Also not sure where you got '60 additional RealTracks' from, more like 200+, and yes, some of them are a nice change and well worth it. Excerpted from the sales page This is the RB forum, was this where you intended to ask? Yes. I have still never even launched BIAB. I came from DAW-ville and from the screen shots I have seen of BIAB songs I don't think I would be comfortable with it. I like control and what control I get from a DAW is more what I know. "Limited Time Special Offers Extended Until January 15, 2022! SAVE up to 50% on most Band-in-a-Box® version 2022 for Windows Upgrade packages... and that's not all! When you purchase version 2022 for Windows before January 15, 2022, we'll include a Bonus PAK full of great new Add-ons FREE! Upgrade to the 2022 49-PAK to receive even more NEW Add-ons including 60 additional RealTracks... that's 282 NEW RealTracks with version 2022!" So a little out of context due to my skimming instead of reading closely.

All the times I have looked at the sales pages I had NEVER seen "Audio demos". And that's my ADD life right there.

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."
