⭐ Featured File — Demo Download
Peaceful Easy Feeling
Our featured demo file. Open it in Band-in-a-Box to hear how RealTracks bring it to life. Includes a sample MP3 preview after RealTracks are applied. A perfect starting point to understand the power of SGU files.
Before you play: mute the tracks you don't need. Keep only the essentials — bass, guitar, drums (usually tracks 1, 3 and 4). With all tracks active you may get an unnatural sound. Depending on which RealTracks you own, some settings may differ.

Free SGU Backing Tracks for Band-in-a-Box
SGU files are the native project format of Band-in-a-Box by PG Music. Unlike fixed audio files, SGU backing tracks are fully interactive — you can change the key to match your voice, adjust the tempo for practice or performance, mute individual instruments, and swap RealTracks without losing any audio quality.
What can you do with these free SGU files?
Each file in this collection opens directly in Band-in-a-Box. Once open, you have complete control: transpose the song to any key, slow it down for practice, speed it up for a challenge, or remove instruments you want to play yourself. It is the most flexible format available for backing track creation.
Who are these SGU files for?

What styles are covered?
