This may be a local issue but others may trip over the following.

During Beta Testing I found that I could audition RealTracks in BIAB but not in RealBand. This was reported at the time but I received no useful answer to the problem. Following the upgrade to 2015, I have looked into the matter more closely and found that while the BIAB could use both MEE and ASIO drivers, RB could use only MEE for this task. The information received via the Windows error messages were completely unhelpful.

During the testing, I received a yellow peril message in BIAB referring to the sampling rate for Speaker output as being 24 bit 96K Hz and warned that this could create sound problems. Refer to Windows Control Panel > Sound > Speaker > Advanced. I changed the settings to CD quality. When this setting was changed and by what, I don't know, but thank PGMusic for the warning.

Use 24/44.1 for your sampling rate setting. Or even 16/44.1 ... the important part is the 44.1k sample rate.

You should be able to click or double click on the real track in it's drop down window and it should start to play it's audition. Some need the internet.

Thanks Guitarhacker,

I have resolved the problem of auditioning RealTracks which is affected by choice of Driver - the MME drivers are preferred. Interestingly, the setting for the Speaker Output may have contributed to the jerky action of the cursor during play. I need to do some more testing before I am convinced.

I am on Presonus ASIO and it works great here. I believe it has more to do with What Herb is saying, the sample rate and such matching in the program and the files

The "preferred" driver is a function of the sound card or interface. IT is the determining factor since it is normally designed to work with a certain specific driver. The better interfaces will work with all or most, but the factory sound cards in most computers you buy off the shelf will not function well with ASIO so in that case...yes.... MME is the preferred driver for most factory cards.

No problem with that (MME on factory cards)....... however, MME has a difficult time processing soft synths and getting the audio to the speakers synced up with everything else. It seems to work OK on audio and smaller projects.

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.

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."
