Ive listened to the latest offering of reggae styles by BAND IN A BOX but I wasnt impressed.It doesnt seem to have changed that much since my 2014 purchase. i wrote a few years ago songs that would benefit from a good quality reggae style but I cant find it here which is surprising knowing how great PG music tracks are. Any advice would be a great help.Cheers Frankie

Hi hitsman, we suggest posting your ideas for new Reggae Styles and/or Realtracks to the Wishlist forum here: https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=6&page=1

The more people who agree with the ideas, the more likely they are to be included in future releases. Also, it is really helpful if you post links with examples to listen to.


Best,
Chantelle

Hi Chantelle,I posted my query here hoping someone might be able to point me in a direction that might help me NOW. Putting it on a wishlist doesnt guarantee new reggae styles will be on BIAB anytime soon. Pipeline gave ne an answer which I will listen to but my point of not seeing hardly any improvement since my purchase in 2014 was surprising..I will share what I think are quality reggae styles..Also thanks Pipeline for those 2 links will take a listen Thanks Frank

I can attest to the value of the two User Tracks linked by Pipeline.

Generally BIAB reggae is, as with much of BIAB, cookie cutter generic. It's the spice you add that makes it tastier.
I, personally, find the lack of low end in the kick drum annoying, (all thwack n click but no thud), though compensated for by the bass guitar to some degree it's very difficult to EQ to fix this.
Getting a Clavinet sound and phrases to do classic Marely part is also difficult, (mostly a matter of finding a phrase worthy of repeating in the necessary spots and "tuning" the notes so they'll fit).
Adding in the bits of percussion, timbale etc, makes an huge difference though.
A drum machine of cheap electronic keyboard will provide those.

Expecting a NOW resolution/response is interesting.


Cheers

Reggae / Ska / Reggaeton
While there are plenty of MIDI items in BIAB, very few RTs (Reggaeton is missing completely)

These styles can be intermixed too, please post to RT wishlist, as Chantelle suggested, will definitely support the topic.
