Hi, is this the correct forum to post to hire someone to develop a new style for me?

There is not a specific section of the forum to hire someone so, in that respect this section is as good as any.

There is a +++ Styles and RealTracks Wishlist +++ forum section that, should you decide to repost there might get more views and thus more interest and responses.

You may find you can do that yourself. Find a style that is similar to what you want in time signature (3/4 or 4/4) and feel (even or swing). Remove from the tracks the existing style instruments you don't want and add to the tracks the instruments you do want. Finally, save the style under a new name.

If that is what you're wanting to do, ask specific questions about the creating a new style process and myself or another forum member will answer your questions as best we can.

However, I suspect you're not wanting someone to create a new style. My guess is you are wanting someone to create a UserTrack that features an instrument PG Music does not offer. Is that correct?

Does he mean that he wants a style that is not available at this time through Band in a Box styles? Wouldn't the place to request it of Dr. Gannon and the team at BB?

Another interpretation would suggest the OP has a style in mind that might be commercial. That happens all the time in commercial music with what is called "fusion."

For no particular reason, I started watching the documentary on the collaboration of three successful female singers: Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmy Lou Harris. It was fascinating. I couldn't put it down. Basically, it was a fusion of three distinct voices, each having been influenced since childhood by individual regional styles. This video would be helpful to anyone working in the areas of fusion and collaboration.

Hello!

You could try doing it yourself if you were open to it! Here is our UserTrack tutorial which you can read here: https://www.pgmusic.com/usertracks1.htm

And here is a video (although a little older) where we show you how to pick your own combo of RealTracks, MIDI, and RealDrums in Band-in-a-Box and save it as a style.: https://youtu.be/a813VaOUNZM

We hope this helps!


Cheers,
Ember

Another option is to go to a site that sells 3rd party styles. There a a couple good ones out there. I like Bob Nortons styles a lot

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."
