I upgraded from Audiophile 2014 to Audiophile 2015 and now I am getting access errors in RealBand when trying to select a section of waveform from a file created in BIAB 2015.

I'm just wondering if there might be residual information from 2014 that is confusing 2015?

No.

It is typical to install over earlier versions. That way, you keep any bonus paks, user-styles, and personal settings.

Did you have your RealTracks on a different drive from your program? During 2015 Setup, it is critical that you specify both the drive for BIAB and the drive for RealTracks (and RealDrums) that may be different. If you made a mistake, no problem; just go to Preferences, RealTracks and specify a Custom Location. Write back for help if you need it.

If you are sure the drives are correct, please let us know more details about your computer and setup.

No
It is recommended not to uninstall as you may lose some 'eaxtras' you've collected from previous versions with Bonus inclusions.

This problem was found and I think solved elswhere on the forums .. I'll look quick.

EDIT; you said previously reconnecting your audio device fixed it.

Has that changed? That was in the Realband forum..

Thanks for your replies.

That unplugging and plugging back in solution (That I posted in the Realband forum) 'seemed' to work that one time. But the problem reappeared the very next day. I tried everything that I 'thought' had made the problem go away the day before. It did not work.

I went on live chat with support a day or so after that. The support rep had me send him one of the offending files. (Any sequence I make with BIAB 2015 causes this problem) He said it caused a problem in his Realband too - which he couldn't figure out - and said he would forward the file to the development people and they would get back to me.

That was about a week ago. I'm sure they will get back to me, but because no one else seems to have this problem I'm sure it is something simple that I screwed up myself. Hence my posting of this question about whether I should have uninstalled before installing.

I was just hoping I could fix it myself since I'm getting anxious about waiting for them to get back to me.

My BIAB 2014 still works- but because of this problem, I can't do anything with 2015. It is frustrating especially when I bought the most expensive 2015 package.

I have a 6 month old quad core i7 PC running Windows 7 (64 bits)
I think I am running everything from the harddrive. That's been my intention anyway...

Thanks again for your helpfulness

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.

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."
