Several of those were mine. I guess I should be proud but a lot of them go back a long time and there were similar requests in the past. We post and post and every year we get a bunch of new styles that were never requested.
Peter and / or surrogate, please respond and let us know how we can really have some input into new styles.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your support - yes this is almost two years old and many of the requests go back many years before that.
PGMusic - Don't forget:
Blues Harp (Harmonica) Blues Solos & Rhythm Real Tracks I keep "harping" on about
Horn Section for Blues, Rock N Roll, Jump, Soul, R&B as requested andlessly.
Thanks & Best Regards Nigel

To add a little more to this discussion, I’d really like to see more options in the SW style, with tempos from 70 to about 110. In making backing tracks, I often need sustained instruments in the background for ballads and easy-listening material. For example, on a country ballad I can’t find a good SW pedal steel part in the range cited above. It may be asking for the moon, but I’d request more SW options for accordian, cello, harmonica, organ (with no bass), strings, synth pads, vibes, and vocal parts. I find more than enough EV real tracks. Just would like to see more SW options, with a feel that cuts across country, easy pop, and jazz ballad styles.

Best Regards Nigel This post was extremely helpful Nigel, thanks! It looks like the only item in the list that we didn't really address was the slower piano styles, but I'll have a look at addressing that in the new year. Cheers, Tobin

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."
