Want to get that slick Modern Rock sound on your own personal recordings? Then look no further than RealTracks Set 48. This set provides three Guitar RealTracks, one acoustic, and two electrics. All three styles were recorded at the same tempo, and were designed to blend together beautifully, though you certainly can use them individually. You're stepping into the producer's chair when you work with RealTracks, so the only limitation is your imagination! The acoustic guitar is a bright, strummed rock part. The two electrics have distinct sounds that complement each other: 'ElecRockArp' is a clean guitar tone that plays arpeggios for the A section, then switches to strummed chords for the B section. 'ElecRockDirty' is a distorted guitar tone that plays muted syncopated chords at 'A', and then plays with a more open sound at 'B'. All three guitars are also equipped with 'RealCharts', which means that even though the styles are audio recordings of real musicians, pieced together by Band-in-a-Box or RealBand based on the chords you enter, the program knows what notes are being played and is able to display them.

Whether you're producing your own record, or learning to play new guitar styles, RealTracks Set 48 is for you!

Also included in this set are two pop Electric Bass styles, both at 85 beats-per-minutes. The 'PopHalfNotesSync' style plays on the 1, and-of-2, and the 3, which is one of the most common ways to play pop music. The alternate, 'PopHalfNotesPush is the same basic pattern, but doesn't restate the note on beat 3, driving the song with a pushed feel. All of the styles in this set are also equipped with 'RealCharts', which means that even though the styles are audio recordings of real musicians, pieced together by Band-in-a-Box or RealBand based on the chords you enter, the program knows what notes are being played and is able to display them. With both the guitars and the bass, that means that you can view them in notation & TAB, as well as watch the notes go by on the on-screen guitar or bass fretboard.
