As all the veteran BIAB users know, with the real drums, you can have an A section drum beat and a B drum beat. My request is to be able to have all tracks have an A part, B part, C part ect just like the real drums. An example of this would be piano that could play a samba style on the head of the songs and then at one point switch to a cha cha or latin style. The reason I am requesting for this feature with the real tracks is to able to switch styles on the fly without having the volume levels dramatically change, and make hey smooth transition between the style between each substyle. I know PG Music can do this because there is an option within Band in a Box to change the parts by selecting the melody feature when you search through the real track.
Please respond to this post to let me know what you all think about this. Remember, I'm not asking for brand new styles, just varitation with the rest of the real tracks like you can with the real drums.
Ex: Section A would be a samba piano, section B would be cha cha piano, Section C would be help piano chord.

Hi,
I think you may already be able to do most of what you are asking in BIAB right now.
Most styles change the drums and all other instruments (at least slightly) between the A & B (Blue & Green) Parts.
You can also change the whole style (e.g. Samba to Cha Cha) and also individual instrument volumes at every bar.
Best Regards

You are already able to do most of what you are asking using just BIAB right now.
Even prior to the release of 2019 versions, this could be done in BIAB. 2019 releases have included new features to highlight some of these little used features and bring them more to the forefront.
Using Islansoul's examples, I'll explain.
<<< A piano that plays a samba style on the head of the songs and then at one point switch to a cha cha or latin style.>>>
Each channel (track) in the BIAB mixer can have up to 10 instruments (any instrument or multiple instances of the same instrument).
There are several methods to switch out or alternate instruments on a track as well as new RealStyles that tracks play a medley of instruments based on chosen parameters when they switch out. Per bars - 4 or 8; Per Part Markers for example.
Instruments can alternate as above or they can play simultaneously.
Instruments can be switched out by Style, by selecting the Medley button in the RealTracks Picker or manually using the Bar Settings (F5).
A Tip to maintain continuity and sound similarity when using this feature is to use the StylePicker filtered to search for a particular session artist. For instance with piano, search for John Jarvis or Miles Black and make your piano selection from the various styles these artists play on.
Any volume level variance can easily be adjusted from the Bar Settings Menu and selecting Gain Change from the track drop down menu and balancing the track levels as needed.
Using an Fx across the channel (it will affect all the instruments on that channel) such as a mild reverb may also help balance the instruments to each other and make the track more cohesive.
_____________________
Another method available now is to select different styles at different sections of your song. For instance change styles back and forth between verses and chorus's or at a Bridge or instrumental break. This will effectively double your number of part markers from two to four.
Create a custom multi style that can have as many as 26 part markers. This is not the easiest way and may not be worthwhile unless you are creating a style that will be used often on multiple projects.
Hope this helps. Please ask any questions you may have to implement these and use them in your project.
