I am new to Real Band. I have version 2017 (1). I just installed it, but I am having a tech problem. I get an error message saying: Error Starting ASIO driver, If problem persists try rebootting windows.
I have tried, but the error keeps persisting. Any ideas?

Many thanks.
Which ASIO driver are you trying to use?
Are you certain it is installed correctly?
Which device is using this driver?
Screenshots of driver setup windows help as well.
Band-in-a-Box PlusPAK Upgrade (2018) on Windows 10 Live instruments: Schecter Solo-6 Custom, Fender Mustang III v2.
It may be that some other app is already using the ASIO driver, which is why RB gets an 'error starting ASIO' (many times ASIO can only be used by one app at a time)
Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
Beside Post Options (in the same row) is File Manager. It's not big and noticeable, but it is there. Directly under the Post Box, right above 'Add this Thread' you mention above .. unless you have some kind of browser restriction running .. are you running NoScript or anything?

It sounds like you might be stuck at the 'Quick Reply' window. If that's the case, click on the "Switch to full reply screen" button that I've highlighted on the image below.
The graphics are great. These show your Windows set up well.
What would be really good to have would be the preferences setup in Realband (RB).
1. To do this follow #1, #2, #3 on the below image.
2. Click on the button I've labelled #4 and select ASIO.
3. If the ASIO window (#6, #7) doesn't appear, click on #5 (Drivers).
4. Take a screen shot of your ASIO driver window (#6, #7) and post it so that we can see what ASIO drivers are present on your system.
In addition, I suggest that you download and install ASIO4ALL from the below link. Realband works well with this freeware driver and it would be a good starting place to get everything up and running.
...got it! I installed the ASIO driver that you recommended and now when I open Real band, I don't get the error message.
Perhaps that's fixed?!?!
I recorded my voice and that works fine. But when I program chords and hit play, nothing happens. The bar marker does not advance through the chords and I can't hear anything. I have a style assigned, but there is no output. The output meter doesn't move.
Could it be a midi issue? When I check the midi output I see that I have two options available but neither is currently selected. When I try to select either one, I get an error message saying that they may be in use by another program, but I don't have another program open!
Image 1 below is my midi setup. I suggest that you set yours up similarly.
1. Move Microsoft GS Wavetable to the top (#1).
2. Activate the Coyote WT DXi/VSTi. (This should have installed when you installed BIAB. If it didn't, there is an option under "BIAB | Help | Utilities" to install it. See Image 2 below.)
3. Activate the VSTi/DXi Coyote WT soft synth (#3).
1. I followed your Midi instructions, and changed my set up to be like yours, but I still get an error message when I try and select the midi device by clicking OK in that selection window. (Although I did move the Wavetable Synth to the top and select Coyote) Once I had to accept the midi error message, the Wavetable Synth went back to the botton of this list, but Coyote stayed selected!
2. The Brandy song loads and plays
3. But when I type my own chords in to RB, nothing happens. The program doesn't play, no sound comes out and the chord cursor do not advance through the chord progression. Kind of weird, isn't it?
After you've typed in the chords and selected a style, have you been using the "Generate" then "Generate all BB tracks" as shown on the image below to get the file playing? (The green arrow is to 'play' not 'generate and play'.)
Also, if midi is playing without having Microsoft GS Wavetable at the top of the driver list, that's fine.

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
