Can someone tell me if I can import a file with MGX extension into Real Band and have it split it into individual tracks for revision track by track? I have tried to do this but no luck....it forces me to close programme?? Straight MIDI files work fine.

The "Import" command isn't the right one for getting a BiaB songfile into RealBand.
Start with the BB file first, using the "Open" command.

Mac I did try to open MGX file by opening it in the BB file.
But it just wouldn't open?? It just froze and I had to close Real Band down.

See if the file will still open in BiaB first. Might be a corrupted songfile.
If it does open in BB, and you have the 2010 version, try using the Drag 'n Drop feature to put it into RealBand...

After you Open the MGX song in Realband, use the Edit|Extract Channel to Tracks command. The procedure I use is:
- In Realband, open the .MGX file
- Track|Make all BB tracks regular tracks
- Select the part to extract
- Edit|Extract Channels to Tracks
The last command will separate the channels and place them on the appropriate track (Channel 2 -=> Track 2, Channel 10 -=> Track 10, etc). If you want them on different tracks, you can check the 'Use Channel Table' in the last step.

Neither suggestion. worked. It did the same thing and when I closed Real Band it gave me the following message. "Access violation at address 0047AC57 in module "RealBand.exe. Read address 000001BO at : 0047AC57????

Try a "factory reset" of RealBand. Something in there may have become corrupted.
*Close down RealBand completely first.
*Locate the following two named files in your RB folder and move them out of it or delete them:
*REALBAND.INI. This file contains most of the global RealBand settings, especially the settings in the Options | Preferences and Options | MIDI Devices dialogs. It also has a list of the most recently accessed song files.
RB.CFG. This file contains information about your sound card
The two files above contain most of your program settings; it is usually only necessary to delete those two files.
*Start RealBand. It will remake those two files and prompt you with a few things about soundcard and MIDI output device as if you were starting the program for the first time. Follow thru that short wizard and then see if you can load the file now.
Hope this helps,
--Mac

Hi Mac,
I followed your directions but once again it didn't allow me to open and start file in Real Band?? By removing this two files "Realband.INI, and RB.CFG" have I in effect done a Factory Reset? Is there anything else that I could try?

You might try a trick that works in a lot of software. Open the file in BIAB. Save it as a new name. Then try opening that in RB. Sounds stupid, I know. I mainly do 3D work and this has worked many times to open files that work in one program and not the other. Seems the file gets corrupted in its save, but the hosting application can work through that corruption. You have nothing to lose by trying.

Hi Dave,
I am eager to try your suggestion.
Where is the Tune File" ...I can't find a file called Tune File in Real Band.
Do you mean that I need to first create a new file in Real Band and Call it "Tune File"?

Bryan,
Send me a PM and I will send you my e-mail address. You can e-mail the file and I will look and see what is going on with it.
To post a file here, you use the "URL" selection in the "reply" box, not quick reply. The URL is located underneath where the smilies are etc . . . The file needs to be posted on an external website, you can only link to it in these forums. Just like the songs people post here. Box.net is a free website for posting files with.
Trax

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."
