This drives me up a wall so I would really like to hear from someone who might know how to eliminate this problem.
In Realband, if I open up any song that has only Realtracks, Realband processes the song but I wind up with the 1st 7 tracks, listed as MIDI, which are empty and are identical to the 7 items in BIAB namely, Bass, Piano, Drums, Guitar, Strings, Melody and Soloist. The 8th track, which is also empty, is BB Audio. My actual audio tracks do not show up until the 9th track etc...
This is wasting a good third of my screen with useless information. Anyway to get rid of/hide those 1st 9 tracks?
P.S. I am up to date on all patches for 2014.
UPDATE FROM MY OWN POST:
I see if I render it via DAW and drag to Realband it eliminates the unwanted tracks but how come I cannot just open up a BIAB SGU file with only realtracks and not have those unwanted tracks show up.

You can just click on the 1st midi track then hold the shift key and click on the Number on the last track go up to Tracks Menu > Remove Tracks.

Scroll down?
Seriously, that's what I do. The empty tracks don't bother me since I'm only there to create the real tracks and move on.
Just like any DAW, you can delete or hide the tracks you don't want to see. I think you might have to do that every time though.....so for me, scrolling down is faster.
Generally, I'm only in RB long enough to generate the tracks I want for my current project so I can export them to Sonar for mixing and adding live tracks.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Silvertones has the winning answer in my opinion.
Why save those tracks as BB tracks to begin with? Erase/Remove them once (and save), or scroll every time you open the project.
Yeah you can hide them, but they are still there .. possibly firing up an instance of a synth, or saving unneeded data. Quick n Easy to just be gone with them right away. Once you click the magic button Silvertones mentioned they are just empty tracks. You can easily remove them using the Tracks drop down.
You can also move everything up if you want, and re-arrange it using the Track Swap feature.
I like a neat comfy project.
Click track on Track 1.
Stuff like that.. a little attention to detail and the project feels much more comfortable for me.
Make your sound your own!
.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Just adding this for anyone searching, in newer versions of RealBand (2017 at least!), use Edit/Tracks/Remove Tracks to remove/delete highlighted tracks in RB. There's no more Tracks drop-down menu.

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."
