533
With RealTracks Set 58, we provide both Jazz and Pop Waltz styles. On the Jazz front, a Tenor Sax soloist is
included, which can be used with some of our previously released Jazz Waltz rhythm section instruments. For the
Pop fans, we've provided Acoustic Bass and Piano styles playing a slow even 8ths Pop Waltz.
RealTracks Set 59: Crossover
The RealTracks you need for the popular sound of Swing 16ths Crossover between Country Music and Hip Hop.
This set provides you with a total of 5 RealTracks styles, one bass style and four guitar styles. They were recorded
at 75 & 90 beats-per-minute, and with the stretching features in Band-in-a-Box, the tempos in between and beyond
are covered as well.
RealTracks Set 60: Country Rock!
4 new guitar styles. 'ModernCountrySync' is an even-16ths-based groove, and we provide both an Acoustic and an
Electric Guitar style. The 'SouthernSnappy' is a classic sounding Country-Rock groove, also 16ths-based, and for
this groove we provide two Electric Guitars, 'Clean' and 'Gritty'.
RealTracks Set 61: Ballads and More!
An assortment of Pop and Country Ballad styles with two rhythm electric guitar styles, a hard-edged ballad soloist,
and a solo-accompaniment pop piano style. The two rhythm guitars are meant to be used together, but have very
distinct sounds. One is a clean guitar tone, playing choppy chords for the A section and held chords for the B
section, and the other is a distorted guitar style, playing a syncopated groove at 'A', and straightening out to even
quarter notes at 'B'. The soloist is a driving distorted power ballad, and is great for intros or breaks. Finally, we
include a 'solo-accompaniment' piano pop-ballad style.
RealTracks Set 62: Western Swing and Bluegrass!
Three Western Swing electric guitar styles include rhythm playing at the medium-fast tempo of 165bpm, and an up-
tempo style at 190bpm. Also at 190 is the “CountryClassicSwing” Soloist, which will create a solo over any
changes you care to throw it's way. As a bonus, this set also includes a Bluegrass Mandolin Soloist, playing at the
laid-back (for Bluegrass) tempo of 100.
RealTracks Set 63: Country Waltz 1
This Set provides 4 Acoustic Guitar styles, playing at two waltz tempos, 85 & 140. With the stretching features in
Band-in-a-Box and RealBand, these styles actually cover a wide range of tempos. Each tempo has a Fingerpicking
and a Strumming Acoustic Guitar, and the styles work great together, or they can be used individually.
RealTracks Set 64: Country Waltz 2
This set comes with three guitar styles, all recorded at the comfortable waltz tempo of 110, and a Solo-
Accompaniment Waltz Piano style at a bouncy swinging tempo of 85. The guitar styles include strumming acoustic,
fingerpicking acoustic, and electric.
RealTracks Set 65: Alt-Country
Alt.Country, also known as Americana, has 4 Electric Guitar styles. For the very slow tempos, we have a distorted
electric guitar providing a gritty backdrop to your melancholy ballad. For ballads a little bit quicker, we have a
brighter clean electric guitar style. The two Alt.Country styles recorded at 75bpm are intended to be used together,
as they play off of each other beautifully. One is a moody sounding electric, while the other is more rootsy.
RealTracks Set 66: Modern Nashville Pop
4 Electric Guitar styles straight from Music City, USA. The two Country Rock styles are intended to be used
together, and play off each other beautifully, but can also be used individually. The same goes for the two
“Nashville Pop” styles, one of which uses a distorted guitar sound, the other clean.
RealTracks Set 67: Rockin' in Three-Quarter Time
3/4 (or 6/8) time has become an important part of the hard rock world. With RealTracks Set 67, you get 10 different
Rock and Pop 3:4 styles. These styles can be used individually, together, or combined in A-B combinations. Also
included are 12-string acoustic guitar RealTracks, both a picking style, and a strumming style.
RealTracks Set 68: R&B Rock
4 different modern R&B electric guitars, two guitars with a warm mellow tone, one playing basic quarter notes with
embellishment, the other playing a strumming pattern. Then, we have some funkier guitar styles, one playing an
off-beat pattern, the other playing a 16th-note-based groove. All of these styles have RealCharts capabilities, so you
can see exactly what's being played, either on the on-screen guitar fretboard, or in notation and TAB.
