I installed all my realtracks, I am sure of it and yet it says files for 11 of them are in BB folder, and not in real tracks folder.

Then I like dry tracks, I mix in Reaper, I disable the reverb and panning in the options, channel options which I thought were "master options", for the tracks . 2012 continues to turn reverb on, and panning the instruments.

Lastly the real-tracks act weird during hold chords, Guitars particularly the smooth jazz soloist, will not play over the hold chord when opened to 1 BIG CHORUS, it plays farty sluff notes. Stops yes ( Shots ) the melody and soloist work, hold chords, weird even the saxophone gets pausey and goes wamp,.....wamp instead of doodley doodle dooo, I wanted the piano to hold with the guitar for 4 bars.

The channel option thing is a buster, hope the settings and real tracks get sorted.

As I age I have more and more trouble understanding. The previous post was too disjointed for me. I you have a beef with a particular track, list the style, the track, and the song. Then email it to pgmusic.

And give those of us who've been around for a bit a chance to hear what you think is wrong. A lot of testing was done and obviously we either missed things, or you know better than the development team and testers who've maybe missed something.

If you want to disable the reverb from the RealTracks, you don't do it in that MIDI channels dialog. Instead you would do it in Prefs-RealTracks "Add Reverb to RealTracks". This is because the reverb isn't coming from the style, it is coming from the RealTracks itself, and can be turned off.

As for panning, there are only a few styles that load with panning, and they are 2012 versions only. Those panning settings get disabled in the Prefs-Channels dialog.

A simpler approach would just be to set up your preferred mix, and then rightclick on Combo at top left- Save Current Mix as Default. Then whenever you want to recall that mix, rightclick on Combo-"Load Default Mix", which in your case would be mono panning, and no reverb.
====================================

For the RT "acting weird on held chords", the example you quoted was a "smooth jazz soloist". Soloists don't participate in holds, as it wouldn't be realistic for a soloist to keep interrupting his solo with shots and holds.

If you have a specific example, please email that to support@pgmusic.com


Have Fun!

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."
