Hello fellow BIAB users!

Quick question about RealStyles. I'm using RS's almost exclusively. As I'm exploring all of them I'm finding that most (around 80-90%) of the RealStyles that include "Amplitube" as part of the style name result in a "style ________ not found" error when I try to select them. In my experience, all other RealStyles are present and accessible whenever I need them.

This screenshot shows the list of the 28 RealStyles that contain "Amplitube" in the name:

A handful of these are available, but as I said the vast majority aren't.

This second screenshot is from the MIDI > What Add-ons Do I Have submenu and indicates that I have all style disks:

Can someone enlighten me on how to access these RS's that seem to be missing? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks

Hi Edward,

Is amplitube installed on your computer?

Regards,
Noel

Hi,

From your screenshots it doesn't appear that there is anything missing, so that is strange... Could you tell us the exact text of one of the messages? There is a log of the messages in 'Help | Display log text file...'

Hi Noel, Hi Andrew

Thanks for your replies.

Noel, actually I haven't installed Amplitude yet. I gather these styles are contained in a separate folder from the rest of the RealStyles that is created when you install Amplitude?

If that's all I need to do is install and activate Amplitude in order to use these 28 RealStyles, I'll go ahead and do that.

Andrew, this 1-minute video demonstrates attempts I just made to select and open a few of these RealStyles, all of which failed: http://screencast.com/t/A8oAyKWkUfvu

Thanks again. Looking forward to the clarification...

Ed

Those styles aren't installed with the Amplitube installer, they should be installed with the main Band-in-a-Box installer. While they are much more useful if you DO have Amplitube installed, they can still be opened in BB.

Try running the main Band-in-a-Box installer again, and in the screen that you select components to install, make sure that the components relating to Amplitube are checked. (Also, if you were to click 'Rebuild' in the StylePicker, I suspect those styles will not be displayed, since they don't exist in your bb folder.)

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!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
