Hi
Got a new PC with Windows 7 64bit. Can I copy my BB folder form my old PC to my backup hardisk (fat32), and then just copy it to to the new PC?
Hate to install and update all my realtracks,updates etc. once again.
thx

There are a few other recent posts on this that you might find helpful.

The prevailing advice is to install just the base program on your new drive, so you get fonts and maybe a few other things, but then Yes, you can copy over your whole BB folder. Specifically, you can copy over your Real Tracks and Drums, since these are the things that would take the most time to reinstall. This will also get you the program updates.

Windows 7 64-bit apparently won't run the Roland VSC that comes with BIAB, so if you were using that, consider another MIDI solution such as the Coyote Forte.

Enjoy your new screamer PC.

thank you!
I did a search on "move bb folder", new PC etc. but either nothing showed up or 100 pages of threads...
So a clean install of BB appl. -real tracks/drums

Svenne,
The install is fairly straight ahead, and then copying the Real stuff over is easy, but time consuming. Make sure you copy the ENTIRE directory, so you get any additional styles, songs, patch maps, etc., you had before.

You can just do an install of Real Band, unless you have specifics in that folder you want saved, too. In that case, just copy over it, and you'll be fine.
