this might be a stupid question... but, why is it when I choose a style in the style picker, the real tracks don't change? For example, I open up my tune, but I don't like the style, so I click on Style, choose something with real tracks in it, then click OK. HOWEVER, my real tracks stay the same! They don't change. What am I missing?
Oh and I'm on a mac. I hit the reset to factory defaults, but still no dice.

Help?

Typically if you change to a real style with different instruments than what you start with, the new real style instruments displace the originals. I am guessing you may be selecting a midi style to change to and usually midi tracks "defer" to realtracks. What is the name of the style you started with, and what are you changing to?

OK, I think I know how I messed it up. So, I choose my realtracks manually. Example: Style is MCCOY2.STY, but I manually chose my realtracks: Bass 443, Piano is 446 and Drums are Terryclarke^02brushes. So, the realtracks I picked don't match that style, because I picked them out by hand. SOOOO... now I click Style and choose _SJAZZPP.STY and the tracks do NOT change.
Did I just answer my own question?

I'm pretty new to the software, butI've noticed the same thing.

The tracks that I've added after selecting the style don't seem to change if a new style is selected.

I've also had some other hinky things happen after changing real track styles such as two audio tracks on one instrument track.

Yeah, this might be a bug. So, it looks like, if you choose your realtracks manually, the next time you go to choose a style that uses real tracks, your real tracks will NOT change, yeah?

So, I can get it to work if I clear any manually selected realtracks first. What I do is I go into the realtracks picker, and click on "none" or clear all, to get rid of the real tracks I've put in there by hand. THEN, when I go to the style screen and pick my new style, it works fine.
Cool!

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."
