I have an old song that I made that reverts to MIDI because the correct RealTracks set is not installed. BiaB 2014 says promisa.sty is missing. The thing is that I don't have enough space on my computer to install all my sets and I'd like to avoid trial and error by installing/uninstalling one set at a time.

Can I find this out somehow or maybe someone here happens to know from which set promisa.sty comes?

_PROMISA.sty should just sit in your C:\BB\ folder (top level), presuming that you have installed in default location.

It might be part of MIDI SuperTracks Set 9, but i cannot be certain.

But I do not want to know what I have installed. I want to know which realtracks set I need to install to get _promisa.sty

Alexander,

If you have the hard drive version why don't you run BIAB from there. The instructions are in the setup procedure.There is an option to keep all the RT's etc on the Hard drive thus taking up so much less space on your computer. I ran BIAB this way for a long time with no problems.

Maybe someone else could help if you downloaded BIAB 2014, or you could contact support for help. PG Music support is very good and always helpful.

I hope you find the style

Hi Alexander,

_PROMISA.STY contains the following Realtracks.

_PROMISA.STY. Acoustic Pop with Piano [100 RS]

All RealTracks. Quintet.
RD: POPAMERICANEV^1-a:SDSTKHB, b:SNHB :Wayne Killius
RT1521: Bass, Electric, PopPower4s Ev 120 , Mark Hill
RT1690: Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopPromise Ev16 100 , Blair Masters

P.S. If you have limited internal disk space on your computer, Gibson's idea to run BIAB from the external USB drive is an excellent one. This will allow you to access everything you have.

I've managed to figure out which sets all instruments come from now except for the drums. Anyone know?

I have no idea about any of what you're talking about, but had to chime in. Your screen name freaked me out. My high school band teacher (over 25 years ago!) was Paul Alexander. Great man, great musician, great teacher, great friend. Sadly he passed away a year or two ago.

In the the RealTrack picker window you have columns, it has "Set*" there is also "Show RealTracks that are NA" check box, same in RealDrums picker windows, the end column is RD Set.

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."
