I have Windows 10 and am using Power Tracks Pro Audio 2015. I recently re-installed power tracks and when I tried to record a guitar part, I pressed record and when trying to save the recording, got an error message, "Error Converting C:\pt\INPUT.TXT". I also got an error message "File Access Denied (read-only file, or in use by another program". I tried deleting ptw.ini, but to no avail.

James,
My first impression is that it sounds like you need to run Powertracks in administrator mode.
To do this, right-click on the startup shortcut, select "Properties" and then, under the 'Compatibility' tab, set the option to 'Run as administrator'.
Regards,
Noel

Not sure how comfortable you are with working with computers (since this is your first post), but ..
If you Open the file you mentioned;
C:\pt\INPUT.TXT
It will open in Notepad most likely. This will reveal some interesting data.
You can look at that file and see where it is trying to write to.
Most likely issue is the line where it says
"Output=1= ..." (my dot-dot-dot will be replaced with a file path in your INPUT.TXT file)
This is where PT is trying to temporarily store your recorded audio.
To me, your error message implies PT doesn't have permission to write to that path/folder.
Running as Administrator may fix it (as Noel pointed out), but changing the permissions for this folder is another option to try. Maybe your temp storage area is protected by antivirus, or something else.
Just trying to help ..

Band-in-a-Box® - Save as a Video!
A feature added with our Band-in-a-Box® 2015 release was the option to Save as Video. This feature is easy to use! When you're ready to save your song within Band-in-a-Box®, choose "Save as Video..." and adjut the settings if you'd like, then choose [OK - Render Video]. Once it's rendered, you can select the [Upload to YouTube], or take a look at your video first when you choose [Show Video File]. You can also choose to open this video file up in a different video program - it's your video file!
What does the video show? The chordsheet within Band-in-a-Box® just as you'd see it when the song is playing - don't worry though, the rendering of the song to video is MUCH FASTER than the duration of the song!
To see this in action, visit THIS LINK for our Support video.
Have you made a video of your song using this feature? Share it to our Forum!

Macworld Review - Hands on with Band-in-a-Box 2017
Keith White has just shared his Band-in-a-Box 2017 for Mac review with us: Hands on with Band-in-a-Box 2017
While working with the new Band-in-a-Box 2017 for Mac version, Keith spent some time using the enhanced Song Titles browser feature within the StylePicker - make sure you check out his song links to hear his results!
I have used Band-in-a-Box for over 20 years professionally and have found it one of the most professional and useful programs in my arsenal. The 2017 version takes a great program to new heights.
Pros: vastly improved user control of interface; fabulous range of new sounds from all over the world: useful improvements to Song Titles Browser and Style Picker.
Cons: (as usual) can you have too much of a good thing?

Great YouTube Find - Big Little Boy with BIAB
We came across this great YouTube video shared by Kirk Olsen, titled Big Little Boy with BIAB, Digitech Vocalist Live 3 and TC Helicon Harmony GXT.
This is his first mix with Band-in-a-Box accompaniment - we think it's an AMAZING start!
Watch - Big Little Boy with BIAB...
