I have a few Realstyles where some of the instruments are showing "N/A"
For instance, RBILYFX does not have the acoustic bass included. (I never could understand why BiaB provide only part of a style)
My question is whether I can take a Bass from an existing Realstyles or Midi style and insert into my missing realtrack. Always providing that the time signature matches.

Having (hopefully) found a solution, my next question would be, How Do They Do That, to quote the tv show ?

Hi Al,

Videos are found here...

http://www.pgmusic.com/videos.bbwin.htm

Have a look at the one I've highlighted below. This will show you how to add a bass Realtrack to the Bass track.



Once you've done that, have a look at the video highlighted below and it will show you how to save your tracks as a Realstyle so you can use it again.



Hope this helps,
Noel

Hi Noel,
Thanks for the fast response.
I got part of the way there, but maybe I didn't explain it properly.

In the example I quoted above, the Bass track is showing N/A. So what I would like to do is extract a midi bass track from a similar midi style and insert it into the RealStyle and save as a user style.

I am sure I could find a suitable midi style to extract the bass part to include into the non-existent track in my Realstyle.

I am not even sure this can be done, but it seems it could be a useful function where user have not purchased the whole packs available.

Al

Hi Al,

In your original question, you asked about using the bass from either a Realstyle or a midi style. What I've outlined above will let you substitute another bass Realtrack for the missing one (that is, a bass from a Realstyle). You can then save your new style as a user Realstyle.

In relation to the midi style, this may or may not work easily. It can certainly be done but I will have to play around with it a bit to see if it works or if adjustments need to be made. I'll have a look at the rockabilly style RBILYFX that you refer to and get back to you. Unfortunately, I won't get to your problem again for another couple of days. Also, solving you problem is made a little harder because I don't know exactly what you have available in your version of the program.

In the meantime, try what I've suggested above and see if you can find another bass Realtrack that you can put in place of the missing one.

Regards,
Noel

"So what I would like to do is extract a midi bass track from a similar midi style and insert it into the RealStyle and save as a user style."


On the same page Noel references is a video; "Selecting a specific MIDI track" that provides instructions that shows how to do what you are looking for.

Then view the video Noel references on how to save that as a new style.

Hi guys,
Thanks for the most useful info and as a result I am part the way there.

The only problem is that when I chose a track from another style and if that track happens to be a Sample Tank 2 file, it doesn't play! Or rather it appears to be playing from the VU meter in the mixer panel, but no sound is produced.

Any ideas guys?

AL

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
