    RealTracks Update - April 14 2015 (110 MB)

    This is a general maintenance patch for RealTracks, RealDrums, and MIDI SuperTracks. It includes all of the recent fixes and enhancements that we've made to files shipped in 2014 and 2015. Some of the main fixes are listed below. There are also enhancements to most shots and holds files to allow them to work as held styles.

    Some audio files are updated in this patch, so users with the audiophile HD version can instead download this larger patch (900 MB)

    • Improved: Enhancements have been made to existing shots & holds in RealTracks: When entering holds in Band-in-a-Box, guitar RealTracks will now play holds in a more musical way, with strums that lead into the beat. Many more RealTrack can now be designated as "Held" styles (a new feature in Band-in-a-Box 2015) when picking them in the RealTracks picker.

      For example, if there is a guitar RealTrack you really like, but you'd like it to just play held chords rather than a rhythmic part. Unique, individual 'Held' RealTracks can be created from existing RealTracks in the Soloist Editor. Individual RealTracks can be specified as 'Held' in Band-in-a-Box styles (.sty files)

      Here is a Band-in-a-Box generated demo of Holds 105 that demonstrates the effectiveness of this. This .SGU cycles through shots/holds chords: maj, min, m7b5, and dominant 7, playing each chord in the key of A, C, D, E, and G.
      Listen to the Holds 105 Demo.
