Hi all, im just getting to grips with my new BB and I see that as well as RTs there are Usertracks.I guess these are ones made by members who are clever than me. lol. smile
I cant see a folder anywhere that i can pick into or DL them from. Can someone point me please. And when I get there how do I DL and where do they go to so I can call them in my mixer?.
If there is a cost do I pay PG somehow through My Account?
Sorry if all this so obvious. its not to me crazy

Thanks Jim. Loads of stuff on there but the website seems to be OOD- last Usertracks are early 2016.
And I still havent fathomed how or where to put them.
I have my BB2017 on a 250gb hard drive and have about half the space available. Will usertracks overflow it?

Wendy,

The Band-in-a-Box and RealBand programs have certain expectations when using loops or UserTracks.

The biggest expectation is where the files are located. Both programs expect loops to be inside the "X":\\BB\Realtracks\Loops folder and UserTracks to be inside the "X":\\BB\Realtracks\Usertracks folder where "X" is the hard drive letter the programs are installed on.

I have a fairly large assortment of loops that I have collected over time. UserTracks can have lossless files (WAV) or lossy (WMA) files associated with them and may have anywhere from 1 to more than 30 minutes of audio content so each UserTrack can be very large.

I store my loop and UserTrack collections on a secondary drive. I copy loops or UserTracks to the folder locations given above when they are needed and then add them to the song project folder once the project is complete. That way I can always reconstruct a song project.

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."
