N/A Styles struck! - PG Music Forums

1. Open the StylePicker.
2. Click the 'Other' drop down menu at the top --> Show styles that are found/not found --> Show only n/a styles.
3. This shows only styles that you do not have. If there are no styles listed, that means you have all available styles.

I did just this and I've found out that I miss 80 styles, all made in 11/2015, which 79 are set#* "Misc." and one set#* "Bonus".

This is obviously due to some not-correctly installed Real Track files, presumably from BIAB 2016, am I right? (I updated from 2014 EverythingPak to 2016 MegaPak to 2017 UltraPlusPak, so guess I should have'em all, shouldn't I?)

My question is: with the supplied data at hand, is it possible to know which are the ones? Meaning fx. realtracks228-232.exe, etc., as I don't want to install'em all again, just the ones missing.

Well? I'm all ears.

It also interested me

I also had some missing. Just copied the entire *.sty and *.stx lot by TeraCopy from my original BIAB 2017 drive to the folder with the current BIAB 2017 installation (containing BBW.exe etc) resolved that. I don't think you'll have to reinstall older RT's, they're already there. Only download the jan 2017 realtracks update. -F

Where would I find (on the PG website) 2016/10 2016/11 Bonus and BonusPak styles? AFAIK, I had already purchased these packs?

It looks like those styles are from the 2015 bonus pak. That was sold as an add-on in December 2015 for $49
Are you also missing the real tracks or are you just missing the styles ?

I have all 1-277 Real Tracks, so it has to be just the styles.

I bought the 2017 UltraPlusPak, plus the 2017 € 49,00 Bonus Pak and XtraStyles #1 and #2.

Silly me, I thought that making this purchase I'll have ALL the styles, but, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be the case.

I find this not being fair to customers to miss style content just because they're offered exclusively to a year in particular and never again? Maybe it's me, but I fail to see the reasoning behind this policy or modus operandi, and I work in sales!

Would it be possible to get'em somehow?

Even now, the 2017 € 49,00 Bonus Pak is nowhere to be found, or so it seems. Only the Xtra Style Paks #1 and #2 are still available.

It's frustrating!

Yours very truly,

Perhaps you could post a list of the missing styles. This can be done in the stylepicker by
1.listing only styles that are n/a
2. Pressing copy list (which copies a tab delimited text list to clipboard)
3. Pasting that text list here

(Note that the list would look better pasted into Excel, and then you'd only need to post a column of the stylenames here. But if you don't have that handy pasting the full list is fine too )

What do i do now?

Thanks will look into this tomorrow

I'd like to publically thank Dr. Peter Gannon for personally made sure to resolve this problem of mine.

Talking about going the extra mile or going above and beyond their duty... in my case, it was no talk. He just provided the solution and even thanked ME for pointing it out!

That's what you get together with a great product: the support of GREAT PEOPLE!

Your very truly,

The Company's reputation for quality service and assistance speaks volumes.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

Pepe, great post to share your success.

Is this something unique to you or might it be coming in the next update (if you know)?

After what Peter Gannon did for me, to share it with others is the absolutely LEAST I could do.

Reading between the lines, as I understand it, is that I've accidentally uncovered some kind of small oversight, but it's all speculation on my part, as I don't *know* anything.

I'm just ecstatic about Dr. Gannon's gentleman's gesture, making me even happier of being part of the PG Music big, extended family.

On another matter, Matt, I still enjoy hearing your 2006 album "Brazilian Wish"; it's on my smartphone, so I carry it on with me at all times.

Any plans of a follow-up? It's been over ten years... unless you already did and I missed it completely?

Thanks for the kind words! There are always plans but now is not a great time in the music business to put out a CD. I did most of the writing for one other CD; send me a PM for info.
