My small C drive is almost full so I need to move some files off of it. The BB 2024 Soloist folder occupies about 17 GB, so moving it to another drive will help a little. However, unlike Real tracks and Real Drums, I find no place in preferences where I can specify a location for the Soloists folder.
Am I missing something?

Am I missing something? Hi Dalemccl, Only the Realtracks and Realdrums can be moved out of the \bb folder and to other drives. All other folders need to be within \bb. The other option for you to consider would be to move the whole \bb folder to a new location. Regards, --Noel ★ my latest song: The Best Gift Of All (Thank You, Mama) – vocals by Synthesizer V

The other option for you to consider would be to move the whole \bb folder to a new location. Yes, you can safely install Biab and all its content in an external drive, and run it from there. I, as many other users, do exactly that.

Thanks. Can I just move the bb folder to another drive and then just point the shortcut to the new location of the bbw.exe file? Or do I need to uninstall and re-install?

If you move the \bb folder to another drive on the same computer, all you will need to do is to update the shortcut to point to the new location for BBW64.EXE (if you are running the 64 bit version of BIAB). The registration will also stay in place and not need any adjustments as PG Music register the program to a specific computer. Regards, --Noel • a recent song of mine: Seven Years (with Kevin, a Synth V vocaloid)

Yes, just create a symbolic link for the Soloist folder pointing to the other drive, you can do the same with the Demos folder.

Regards, --Noel ...and if you run into any issues once you've transferred your installation to the external drive, don't forget that there is a very small installation that the program requires to be on your computer to work.

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!

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."
