Hi,

Im sure this is something simple I missed - - but, are real tracks supposed to save with the song? I opened
my file - and they are all gone.

thanks

Thanks Matt Finley,

but do you have to save it with " patches and harmony "
to work?

No. That's a good habit to practice to ensure the song saves the way you want it, but a regular save should be saving the selected RealTracks with it.

Try Option, Return to Factory Settings. Save your song, reboot and reload. Then see if a regular save and load works. Also, test with another song to rule out the rare possibility that the first song file is corrupted.

Is there any possibility you froze the tracks and then moved the location of the song?

The tracks save, but since I mostly use real tracks and don't freeze them, they will regenerate when I reopen the song, or when I make changes to the structure.



Not a problem, because I usually do not fall in love with anything BB does... to the point that I say I absolutely have to save THAT track. I rarely find anything to be that critical to the success of a song project.

ok, so you have to freeze them to stay the same? Does that
mean convert to WAVE?

thanks

Not quite. The file is much larger when the tracks are frozen, but that's not like saving each track as a .WAV file. You could do that, but by freezing all the tracks it's not necessary. I do Save with Patches and Harmony, then click the All button in that dialog box to freeze the tracks.

Another good method is to open the song in RealBand (where the tracks stay fixed, unless you regenerate), or Drag 'n Drop the tracks into another DAW software.

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."
