Band-in-a-Box® 2017 for Windows was released on December 1st, and we've already received some great feedback! Here's what users are saying... " Coolest program around! In my opinion, the sound of the music is much improved with the 2017 upgrade!" "Every one of the new RealTracks sounds fantastic. It is amazing 'the heights' to where PG Music has taken BIAB." "Natural Arrangements Feature: Whatever magic this does, I'm hearing better voice leading in the guitar and piano on my Bossa Nova song with advanced extensions. I'm really liking this!" "What a sensational spread. Most impressive. Thank you!" " Love the dual layer chord view! How great is that. I like being able to see two alternative notations together (especially Nashville and standard notations)!" "These RealTracks are an incredible achievement. Like the others above me, 'Wow' was the first thing that sprang to mind!" "Receiving my installation on a flash drive is perfect!" "I am impressed with the new RealTracks, to say the least!!! Can't wait to get creative with this excellence!!!!" " I like what I am hearing!!! Awesome stuff, PG Music!" " The new RealTracks are stupendous!" "I just installed 2017 for Windows and and while it took a few minutes to become familiar with it. The end result is a MUCH more usable application UI. It looks like someone spent some serious time re-thinking how a UI should operate for BiaB and did an awesome job on the re-design." "The first few demo's I played with only 2017 RealTracks... WOW, Felt almost like being 12 again. Absolutely incredible marriages and sounds to hear." What's your favorite new feature?

But no new RealDrums... Very disappointing, the drums are the primary reason I use BiaB. I can play my own bass, guitar and string parts - but drums, not so much. Hoe you get some new grooves soon.

Not only are there new RealDrums, but now in BIAB 2017 you can select half-time, double-time or even triple-time. This is a terrific new capability that works on all RealDrums, not just the new ones. And it's another example of a Wishlist request (mine, for this one) fulfilled by PG Music.

I think the confusion is that even though they are handled separately (RealTracks and RealDrums), the new RealDrums (and this isn't the first time it's been done) have been included as part of the RealTracks packages, versus separated out as RealTracks and RealDrums (as was originally done).

Exactly. Ya, Why is that? Inquiring minds want to know.

>>> Exactly. Ya, Why is that? Inquiring minds want to know.
We stopped making separate RealDrums sets a few years back, since they belong with the RealTracks sets, since they are often band specific.
For example, they might be like
RealTracks Set 257: A Taste of Peru
It has a number of instruments (guitars, bass, and percussion (drums))
and includes these RealDrums : PercFestejoPeru^ or PercValsCriollo^
It makes more sense to include the drums as any other instrument, rather than make different sets. Otherwise, you'd need to buy the RealTracks set and also the RealDrums set to get the whole band.
btw, the percussionist on this set is Alex Acuna (Weather Report, Herbie Hancock etc.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Acu%C3%B1a
RealTracks in this Set:
[17] Bass, Electric, PeruFestejo68 Sw 120 Solo demo | Band demo [ Artist: Oscar Stagnaro ]
[18] Guitar, Nylon, Rhythm PeruFestejo68 Sw 120 Solo demo | Band demo [ Artist: Ramon Stagnaro ]
[19] Guitar, Nylon, Fingerpicking PeruFestejo68Melodic Sw 120 Solo demo | Band demo [ Artist: Ramon Stagnaro ]
[20] Bass, Electric, PeruValsCriollo Ev 140 Solo demo | Band demo [ Artist: Oscar Stagnaro ]
[21] Guitar, Nylon, Rhythm PeruValsCriollo Ev 140 Solo demo | Band demo [ Artist: Ramon Stagnaro ]
[22] PercFestejoPeru^ Band demo [ Artist: Alex Acuna ]
[23] PercValsCriollo^ Band demo [ Artist: Alex Acuna ]
Have Fun!

Yup. I am very pleased that I was incorrect... I had not received the hard disk yet, but the Real Drum sets stop at 29, and I already had those in 2016. Now that it's here - the new stuff sounds gr-r-r-EAT!
