I have PlusPak 2024
Is it normal that you can have eg Xpro or Bonus and Xtra PAKS, and there might RTs missing ?
I bought Xtra PAK 6 but N/A some few RTs instruments in it. The "NOT FOUND ADD ONS" window then shows the whole PAK6 as NOT FOUND
Sorry if it is a stupid Q

The 2024 PlusPAK is an upgrade that is designed to "turn your 2023 UltraPAK/UltraPAK+ into the 2024 UltraPAK/UltraPAK+" - and Xtra Styles PAKs use the complete UltraPAK/UltraPAK+/Audiophile RealTracks library.

Did you have the 2023 UltraPAK/UltraPAK+/Audiophile edition? Check your installation by opening the StylePicker and click the [Addons] button - if it's showing any RealTracks or RealDrums missing, it may be that you never had them in your installation.

If you're still unsure, reach out to our team (Live Help is great!) and they can review your order history for you.

You said "Xtra PAK 6", but do you mean XPro PAK 6?

To add some details, Xtra Styles PAKs (#17 is the newest) use ANY RealTracks from the Ultra. XPro Styles PAKs (#6 is the newest) INCLUDE any RealTracks that are not available in ALL Band-in-a-Box packages.

If you don't have the Ultra, it would be normal to see N/A RealTracks with Xtra Styles. However, it is NOT normal to see N/A RealTracks with XPro styles. If you ARE, you may have selected the wrong RealTracks folder when you installed it.

Hi thanks
I dont have ultraPAK. ( Yes, I used the Xtra PAK 6 as one example, I understand the confusion it generated)
I have all 17 Xtra Paks with lots of N/A
I have all 6 Xpro´s with lots of N/A
I just now reinstalled both Xtra PAK 17 and Xpro 6.
Still N/A in certain styles (eg 1543: synth pad, pop believe and lush chords pedal steel),
so that tells me that something isnt available for me, but I installed it in the right RT folder.

Still there is plenty perfect styles and I can work around other RT, but those synths and steels I really would like to have

The PlusPAK should be installed over an Ultra or equivalent from last year - it would be worth contacting us to check your orders, since it seems like you must have purchased an Ultra at some point - if not or if it was a very long time ago, you might want to exchange the PlusPAK for an Ultra...

Hi Andrew
Yes I´ve been a VERY long time customer, but cant remember if I have ultrapak.
How can I exchange plus with ulra and how much will it cost ?
Could you provide a link for that operation?
TIA
I really would like to have all RTs for the styles.
I really have rebuilt and rebuilt even the last updates for no avail.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

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.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

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."
