Hello,

Though I have the UltraPak and all the styles packages up to 2022, I can't find styles suitable to songs like the following:

The cat - Jimmy Smith from The Cat
The Sidewinder - Lee Morgan from The Sidewinder (The Rudy Van Gelder Edition Remastered)
Mercy, Mercy, Mercy - C. Adderley from Mercy, Mercy, Mercy (Live at 'the Club')
Return of the Prodigal Son - Stanley Turrentine from The Return of the Prodigal Son
Nasty (feat. Houston Person, John Abercrombie & Grady Tate) - Johnny "Hammond" Smith from The Soulful Blues
The Shake - 'Big' John Patton. from Got a Good Thing Goin' from Got a Good Thing Goin'
Seesaw - Dr. Lonnie Smith from Turning Point (Rudy Van Gelder Edition Remastered) from Turning Point (Rudy Van Gelder Edition Remastered)
The Cape Verdean Blues (feat. J.J. Johnson) - Horace Silver from The Cape Verdean Blues (feat. J.J. Johnson)
Cold Duck Time - Les McCann & Eddie Harris from Swiss Movement
The Cantaloupe Woman -- Grant Green, from His Majesty King Funk

If you guys know styles I can use, I'd appreciate. Also, a soul jazz style set would be welcome.
Thanks

I haven’t tried to do any of these songs in BIAB (and don’t know a few), but this is a solid list of jazz tunes that are uniquely sounding.

+1 for RTs and MIDI.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Some on the list I've never heard but they are great.
+1 for adding styles.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Let’s talk terms for a moment. This can be tough. Of those songs I recognize, most of them go way back so I think I would call them jazz fusion. These were the beginnings of smooth jazz (except for John Abercrombie, who cannot be classified). I may be wrong but the first time I heard the term ‘soul jazz’ it was by solid Japanese players around 15 to 20 years ago producing slightly funky remakes of tunes in this style.

Try widening your search terms.

Hi Sergion,

Thanks very much for the suggestion! We did add quick a few RealTracks and RealDrums that fall under this category with our December release of Band-in-a-Box 2024 for Windows.

Here are a couple of sample demos:
http://demos.pgmusic.com/audio/allstyledemos2/_FOOTIT.m4a
https://demos.pgmusic.com/audio/allstyledemos2/_YELLOW.m4a

And, we'll keep this suggestion in mind for future versions as well.

Tobin's first example, _FOOTIT is exactly what I think of for the Japanese emulations of Bossa Nova about 20 yeas ago. Dead on.

In your second post, you mentioned a song that I believe is correctly named Song For My Father by Horace Silver. It might appear in a search where your name did not.

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."
