I heard this song tonight for the first time and love the rhythm. Does anyone know if there is a similar drum/bass rhythm in BIAB to match this song as I don’t know where to begin searching for this type of style?
I used F7 to open the MultiPicker and Selected the Styles tab. When I typed in the name for Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress) by the Hollies the StylePicker reported the song is Medium Rock, 4/4, Even 8 and135 BPM. It found 427 styles that match the criteria.
I would start my search with some of the British Rock styles.
That’s great thank you. I didn’t know you could search by song, that’s amazing. I’ll check them out later. Hopefully there’s a similar drum and bass style cause I think that song is cool.

It does only match songs that fit the parameters, not necessarily the style, but it does reduce the choices quite a bit.
Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful. Kawai MP6, Korg M50, Ui24R, Saffire Pro 40. AVL:MXE Linux; Windows 11; Win8.1: Scarletts BIAB2022 UltraPAK, Reaper, a bunch of stuff.
I searched the same as Jim and got similar results and Gordon is correct regarding the Styles aren't designed or intended to mimic the actual song. To overcome that obstacle I go online and download a free MIDI file of the song, open a new song using the midi to populate chords and have the groove and some usable midi tracks, like accurate renditions of drums and bass and include to get a really fun BIAB Chord Chart to play with. I found a playable RealTrack to use the MIDI lead guitar and that really helped the overall feel of the song.
If anyone is trying to do a cover song as close as possible to the original then Charlie's method is the only way to go, been there - done that.
If you are looking for an exact version of a song, say for you to sing with, then a purchased MIDI song is your best option. Many purchased MIDI songs are transcribed perfectly while many free one are not. YMMV
I want my last spoken words to be "I hid a million dollars under the........................"
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
Thank you all. I'm not looking to copy that song entirely but to create my own song from a similar groove - yet to compose the song. Here's a clip of what I've come up with in BIAB. It's short and raw.
Yep... using the style search filter that bases it's choices off the title of a song is a good way to get in the musical ballpark.
That will go a long way towards getting you pretty close to the style you need. Once you get there, you can either make your own version of the song "making it yours" so to speak or you can take the tracks to a DAW and play the parts containing the signature licks and such to get it even closer.
I was playing with one of my tracks the other day and happened to notice that the guitars, bass and drums sounded almost exactly like the guitars in Long Cool Woman..... interesting.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.
The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

I haven't used this feature in a while but it's certainly a lot of fun and most times an effective way to capture the groove of a song without using the actual song midi file. This process creates a custom user midi style from a midi file. It's pretty straight forward to do. If I recall, the file must be stored in a specific folder and the StyleMaker rebuilt for the new style to be included in StyleMaker list and accessible.

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."
