So in reading these forums daily I've really learned a lot about BiaB these last three weeks. What I'm currently doing is loading one or more of my live recorded tracks from the DAW (Cakewalk) and then trying to find styles that work. Since I learned about switching patches I wanted to save some time and just load a blank or empty style so I can pick and choose what I want to add to complement my live playing.
Is there a way to load an empty style? And possibly save one I created?

Including starting BiaB, opening the StylePicker, searching for Blank styles, taking a screen capture, saving it and replying with the aforementioned screen capture. Whew! Just call me "Quick Draw McGraw" !

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."
