Here is the problem I am having with Style Picker at this time.

1. Using BIAB 2018 with build 505 installed.
2. Go to Style Picker
3. Did a "Complete rebuild of styles list" to make sure nothing was left out.
4. Make sure that "Clear" has been clicked to start from scratch.
5. Then I clicked on "Other-Show Styles with or without Video Real Tracks
6. Then I clicked on "Show all Styles with (at least 1) "available from PG Music" Video Real Tracks (you might not have them). Style Picker shows a total of 135 items in the list.
7. Then I clicked on "Show all Styles with (at least 1) Video Real Tracks/Real Drums FOUND (Installed/Present). Style picker shows a total of 51 items in the list.
8. Then I clicked on "Show all Styles with (at least 1) Video Real Tracks/Real Drums NOT FOUND, that are "available from PG Music". Style picker show a total of 83 items in the list.

I always verify have the full package installed like I do every year when I upgrade.

Since I have all the styles available and also have all the video sets installed I note the following:

Item #8 should show a total of ZERO that were NOT FOUND since I have them all.
Item #7 should show a total of more than were supposedly NOT FOUND in item #8
Even with the errors I see at this time, Item #6 should show a sum total of both #7 and #8.

It's simple 1st grade arithmetic all. Is this something that needs to be fixed in the next update build?

I had something similar and Noel/Peter Gannon suggested to run the BB cleanup tool from the Data folder, fixed my setup. - F

Did that 1st thing when I installed it last week but I went ahead and ran the cleanup routine again just to see if it would make a change. No change at all. It still shows the numerical errors in what I actually have installed. When I look at 'What add-ons do I have?..." it shows nothing missing at all. It is what it is, I have everything physically installed in the proper directories and yet BIAB says I am missing 83 items in Style Picker and when I pick one of the so called 83 missing styles, that style and the associated demo song loads just fine.

I have the same numbers as you so that is a good sign. 51+83 does equal 134, however there is one extra item in the StylePicker list because it shows the currently loaded style (which in this case is not part of your filter.)

What it is saying is that there are 83 styles that use RealTracks for which there happens to be video available for. You aren't missing the RealTracks themselves.

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."
