In latest version of Real Band (WIN 7) I have an *.seq arrangement (100% RB) that won't save to audio of any type. It goes almost all the way, then locks up, displaying a dialog that says "access violation". I had to use task manager to shut it down, and the original file was totally corrupted. Fortunately, I found the backup file. The two file types I tried were *.WMA and *.MP3. Is this just a non-functional feature, or do I need to jump through other hoops? Any help would be really appreciated.

Glad to be back after several years!

Hi calinexile,

It sounds like this might be a Windows permission thing.

Try this ...

Right-click on the shortcut you use to open Realband or go to the Realband directory and right-click on Realband.exe), select "Properties" from the pop-up menu and, under one of the tabs, you'll find an option to run the program as an administrator - activate that setting.

Hope it helps,
Noel

Thank you for your response. Alas, no workee. Perhaps I should buy Power Tracks; it always worked well.

Thanks again

Back again! On a hunch, I saved to a *.mid file, then to *wma. It WORKED!
Does this one qualify as a bug?

Hi
I have found that problem if I muck about with the generated BIAB tracks (like delete the audio in a BIAB track). Better to leave them as they are and simply mute them and generate others. Hope this helps.

For the initial problem, try using Audio- Merge Audio and DXi to (whatever)

This works as expected here. MP3 relies on having a Windows codec, but all other options usually work out of the box.
Using 'Save As' also relies on some Windows settings that may or may not be in place. May be part of your problem using the Save As method.

The Audio option I suggested used to be under the File menu item, but is now under the Audio drop down.

Audio- Merge Audio and DXi to (whatever format you want).
This takes whatever you hear and makes an audio file of it.

.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

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."
