Hi everybody,

I do have:
Band-in-a-Box MegaPAK 2023 (1010) for Windows
XPro Styles PAK 1

and recently bought:
RealTracks Set 365

Whenever I pick styles from the new Realtracks 365 I get a lot of (yellow) error messages of missing files (see screenshots). I searched all hard disks for the missing files, no avail.

Is there something wrong with my installation?
Thanks Gery

Hi Gery, welcome to the forum!

Have you tried reinstalling? This (ideally) would fix things.


Cheers,
Mike

Hi,

I don't think there is anything wrong with your installation. The styles you are selecting contain RealTracks that you don't have. RealTracks Set 365 has these RT's:



This is in the RealTracks Picker. If you don't have those RT's (have not installed the set), they will either not show up, or show as N/A.

The 20 or so styles that were made for this set are found in the StylePicker. Typically, when styles are made they are not limited to using only RealTracks from the same set. In this case there might be about 5 that ONLY use styles from set 365.



So in the StylePicker, depending on the settings/filters, the other ones will either not show up, or show up as RT N/A, which means you are missing one or more of the RT's used in the style. You could still use the style as a starting point, and substitute in other RT's that you do have (e.g. using the 'Best RealTracks' dialog).

Hi Andrew, you are right, the 5 styles you mentioned bring no errors.

I was looking for dancehall/reggae styles and found this Youtube-Video from PG Music about RT Set 365:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB-n-Zv-zqw

The video named the styles below, so I am quite confused that on 5 of them are fully supported:

AROUCA SOCA
DAT SHOT
STYLEE
LUCEA
YALLAHS
HUARAZ HUAYNO
ARIMA SOCA
ANNOTTO
BIG TING
CHANCY DRAMATIC
BOGWALK
LACOVIA
NO CLOUDS MARIMBA
MARAVAL MODERN SOCA
MONTEGO BAY
VARAR TEX-MEX
COUVA SPANISH TANGO
CRAWB UP

Thanks
Gery

Yes, I understand what you are saying. However there are styles (.STY) that are part of that set (and actually most sets) that draw upon the previously released RealTracks content up to that point, which a user may or may not have. Typically they would have them as part of an UltraPAK for example. These are the "previously released" as mentioned in your video screen capture.
