Now let’s check out some of the new RealTracks. To do this, open files from the RealTracks – Demos folder.

There are now 121 sets of RealTracks, with the newest 101 RealTracks found in sets 102 to 121. So load in demo

songs from folders with names like c:\bb\RealTracks – Demos\RealTracks102 Demos.

Rock/Pop/Folk fans should try out the 102-108 set demos, with great guitar soloing from Nashville’s guitar legend

Brent Mason. And we have Celtic reel and jig styles.

Jazz fans should make sure to check out sets 109 to 115. These include new Jazz Piano files from NY pianist Mike

LeDonne, and the vibes from Steve Nelson. Also check out the Gypsy Jazz Styles, with great guitar, violin, bass,

and drums tracks.

Now Let’s take a Quick Tour Around the Program.

Open up the StylePicker.

This is where you choose styles. You will notice that there are some changes.

The top category lists All available styles. Choose this, so you see all styles.

There is a Filter available now, that lets you narrow down your search for styles.

Let’s try this out, by searching for styles that use RealTracks that may work over a slow tempo Jazz Ballad, and also

contain Guitar.

Press the [Filter] button.

In the Style Filter dialog, select the parameters for this Jazz style, which would be: 8ths notes, swing feel, tempo =

65, and then set the genre to Jazz.

Then press OK, and the list will now only be styles that you are looking for - namely slow ballads that contain

guitar, and are RealStyles!

On the StylePicker, you will notice some other improvements.

There are column heading with descriptive fly-by hints about the columns.
