In addition to cerio's questions, what BIAB package did you get (e.g. EverythingPak, MegaPak, Pro, etc) ?
Regards, Noel.
P.S. To check what patch your version of BIAB has installed, go to the top menu bar, "Help | About Band In A Box". The patch number will appear in brackets after "Version 2012".
I loaded the patch to be on the safe side. No change. Says (349) now.
I bought the Pro version which is the base one I guess, an upgrade. I've used BIAB on and off over the last 20 years.
It appears I don't have the real tracks needed for the demos, which sort of negates the point of having demos.
Example: I load "All RealTracks: Medium Pop Ballad with Amplitube guitar" and one of the messages in the yellow box says I don't have C:\bb\RACG037.st2, which when I check it, is right, I don't.
I'm wondering if I've not installed BIAB properly or if the demos don't work unless you buy the uber packs.

Ideas?
Well, if you consider the Demosongs to be only used as a way to hear things you haven't got, your conclusion would be the case. BUT the demosongs are much more handy to me for finding out what a certain Style might sound like when I'm working up a new songfile.
You can still hear any demosong using the Button next to the Demo button, which "gets from Web" the soundfile of that demosong, playing as a .wma audio file, typically via the mediaplayer. Of course, the computer has to be online on the web to do this. You won't be able to see the chordsheet layout and all that, but you can hear the style demosong and that's a good way to decide which style files you may desire to purchase in order to get what you need done.
RealTracks sets in C:\bb\RealTracks\ : 1- RealTracks 1, 6- All Metal!, 8- Country Folk, 13- Older Jazz Swing Soloists, 14- Mainstream Swing - Jazz Rhythm Section, 48- Medium Modern Rock, 57- Jazz Swing, Laid Back
This looks a bit light on to me; but there is heaps of stuff in the C:\bb directory. Maybe I need to rebuild a database or reinstall or something.
You know, I've seen the internet checkbox. I know I have. But for some reason I can't find it. Yeah, I know. I'm a moron. But any help would be wonderful anyway. :-)
Noel96, thank you so very much. I've downloaded the demo file and am trying to figure out where they're supposed to go so they're available in case I'm not online. I don't even remember why I un-clicked that checkbox.

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.

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."
