Kent,

RTs are in their within the BIAB folder, no other RTs on computer.

BIAB and RB are in D partition, have done it this way for 10yrs+.


Just a couple of thoughts;

Should I have deleted the previous RTs before installing those I downloaded yesterday.

Would .ST2 or .XT2 files have any bearing on this. Previous issues I had with RTs were .ST2 related.

Regards
Vintage

I had issues with holds, bar beatcount, and style changes within a BIAB song made up in BIAB, changes set with chord- or bar settings. Importing those MGU or SGU files in Realband f.i. gave gap errors, also when loading a different style on the same track. If a RT gives me errors i try to generate it fresh on a new track from within Realband. F

Yesterday, as part of other tests, I did as your suggestion, gaps were apparent when the file opened in RB, but when I generated the RT on a new track everything was OK.

As I said in that previous post, this will allow me to keep moving with this song,
but I regard it as a work around fix rather than a cure for the problem so I'm still hoping Support can come up with something useful.

Hi Vintage,

I think it's time to delete the BB folder and reinstall from scratch. I've added an UltraPlusPAK links and serial number to your online account, and I'll send you a separate email with detailed instructions for getting this reinstalled quickly and easily. smile

Thanks

Just to let you know, that after a busy couple of days deleting and reinstalling on laptop and desktop, all is now well, you can all sleep easily tonight.

Again, many thanks to Kent and all who contributed.

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."
