I have used the above styles in several songs with no problems since they appeared in 2015.
Since loading 2017 I find that BIAB freezes while generating a song using either of these styles with a solo RT track added to the song.

It happens with any song using these styles.
It only happens when I have a solo track added i.e. 6 RT tracks total.
It doesn't happen if I generate the song NOT frozen.
I tried re-loading the style set (RT 233) and it behaves the same.

If this is a computer resource issue (6 RT tracks) it seems strange it should only happens when the song is frozen.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Tony

Tony,

Have you downloaded and installed the ++ December, 2016 RealTracks Update ++ I've provided the link to? The update addressed minor issues found in several RealTracks.

If you haven't applied the update then the update may fix an issue with one of the 6 RealTracks you're using.

If you have applied the update then the frozen tracks may be the issue. The update may have redefined the location for audio and the frozen tracks can not be reconstructed. Unfreezing the tracks allows the tracks to be reconstructed. I assume once the tracks are reconstructed they can be frozen once more and should work in the future.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I think I had previously installed the RT update but did it again and it didn't solve the problem.

Then I noticed that my Focusrite 2i2 audio module was not selected as the default playback device in Windows although it was selected in BIAB and seemed to be working OK. I have had this situation before and BIAB behaves strangely e.g. the Stylepicker style audition doesn't work. I made the 2i2 the default playback device and the problem has gone away. I think it has something to do with selecting two active audio devices at the same time.

Thanks
Tony

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."
