Thanks Eddie. These are pretty good. I tried to make something similar but didn't really spend enough time on it. Didn't get the results I wanted yet.

The BIAB country styles are kinda cheesy, at least on the version that I have. It was somewhat time consuming but I just wrote my own shuffle style. It doesn't sound too bad. I wrote the piano bass line to follow the bass guitar. I suppose if you had time you could write substyles and place them in the correct measure and produce bass and piano lead ins to chords. But what I have suits me fine. My BIAB is on a windows 98 computer in my music room. That computer was a freebee from our school so it doesn't have a modem. I'm not sure how to save and get the file to this computer(XP), or I would send you a copy. Every time I've tried to move files in that manner it always says something like format unknown.

Dave, I also made my own 4/4 shuffle in BiaB by importing the piano and guitar from another style and building the drum sounds from scratch. I also went into the style maker and by trial and error, got the bass to do what I wanted. I've done some recording with the BIAB shuffle that I made and it's really hard to tell it from real drums.

Send me your email and I'll send you some of the styles I made. Don't know how to put them on the forum.

If you end up with a 4/4 shuffle style you like, try this experiment. Edit the first measure of the song and specify that it is to be 3 beats rather than 4. Finish the chart (all the following measures should be 3 beats rather than 4). It may or may not sound ok, but it will be in 3/4 time.

If you know how to edit 'styles', edit to taste and save with a different name.

Never heard of a 3/4 shuffle.Most Ray Price shuffles are not 4/4 for the whole tune.most are 2/4 on the verse and bridge and 4/4 on the turn around.The secret to a shuffle is to not play to fast.Keep it down around 110 bpm,most bands play a shuffle up around 130-140 bpm and that takes the swing out of the tune.Pearl Bailey said it best you can play fast or you can swing but not both.

Don, You have a good point about the tempo.
I made some demos of songs (vocals) I wrote. When done to a 4/4 shuffle beat, I did them in the range of 90-100 bpm.
Ray Price used a 3/4 shuffle on "The 24th Hour".
