I have auditioned various styles with different EV8, EV16,SW8,SW16 it is not clear to mean what his means Are there any good style examples for each category to help me understand what this all about ? Thanks

EV16 = the instruments and drums use an evenly spaced time based on 1/16th notes. SW = styles based on a swing feel SW8 = the instruments and drums have a swing feel based on 1/8th triplets. SW16 = the instruments and drums have a swing feel based on 1/16th triplets. Generally, EV styles and SW styles do not mix too well. If you have a drum beat that is an EV style, it's best to choose instruments that are EV styles. Likewise, if you have a drum beat that's a SW style, it's best that the instruments also are SW styles. MY SONGS... Audiophile BIAB 2024 audios on Soundcloud

I would go a step further and say that some SW8 and SW16 RealTracks don't always work well together, however most EV8 and EV16 will play nicely. As always, let your ears be the guide. I work here

As can be seen in +++ THIS +++ Youtube video swing is when the beat lengthens and shortens within a measure or bar. The +++ Play With Your Music Theory +++ video series is an entertaining and easy way to learn music theory basics and some of the terminology you'll encounter in Band-in-a-Box or other music programs. There are seven videos with lengths varying from 7 to 13 minutes.
