Hi guys,
Need some help..
I moved the real tracks and real drums folder to another drive.
I did a verify of real tracks and got around 1200 warnings like this:
RealTracks Configuration ERROR: RealTracks # 899(Set #172). RealTracks found here C:\bb\Soloists\ROZ016.ST2, but RealTracks folder not found here: L:\BIAB\RealTracks\Synth, Bass, EuroDance ChorusBassStraight Ev16 120\. Use Prefs-RealTracks Settings to set correct RealTracks folder.
I set the folder to the correct location, updated etc..
I don't know if it's because I don't have these real tracks, or if I made a mistake when I moved the real track folder.
I have the PlusPAK Upgrade 2025, UltraPAK Upgrade 2024, PlusPAK 2022, UltraPAK+ upgrade with RealBand 2021.
Is there a way to show which real track sets are in which pak ?
Thank's,
Mads

Just checking a couple of basics, in order:
Did you go into Options, Preferences, RealTracks and change the location of the RealTracks to the drive and folder where you moved them to? Same for RealDrums...
Did you do a Rebuild (Slow) of the styles?
If those are ok, try Options, Return to Factory Settings, Most, and restart BIAB.
The Help menu has a choice for What Add-on Do I Have. This should get you started for anything that might be missing. PG Music Support can tell you more detail if you need it.

Do let us know that you have all of the RealTracks sub-folders under a parent folder named 'RealTracks'. And the same for RealDrums. I have to agree that the error message is somewhat confusing

Thinking further about this, I doubt that it's because you don't have these RealTracks or RealDrums. I think it's because of their location.
Not all users would have every RealTracks ever made, and they wouldn't get these messages.

Thank's for trying to help, Matt.
I did all you suggest - but unfortunately I get the same result.
The help menu tells me this:
RealTracks Sets in L:\BIAB\RealTracks\ :
You have all of the RealTracks Sets (unless we've made some new ones).

I do - it's around 78 GB,

Mads, If the new location for the Realtracks and Realdrums is a removable USB drive, it is possible that when the drive is unplugged and then plugged back in, the drive assignment letter could have changed. To check this, plug in the drive and then use the icon that I've highlighted in the image below to navigate to the new location for the Realtracks. This icon is found in Realtrack Preferences. ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=31385&filename=Preferences - navigate to Realtracks location icon.jpg) Once you have navigated and selected the new location, click on the Update icon and then click on OK to exit the Preferences window. (Sometimes it takes about 10 - 15 secs for the window to close after clicking OK.) Then, as Matt said in an earlier post, run Rebuild. The Rebuild icon is found in the Stylepicker window. ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=31386&filename=Rebuild 2025.jpg) Now load a style and see if BIAB plays for you. Regards, --Noel

I considered the possibility of drive letters being a problem, but discarded that because the drive letter is L:. I think it’s unlikely that Mads has all the letters from D through K used, such that drive L could be reassigned. It’s possible, though.
The error indicates some files are found on that drive, but other files are not.
Mads, give PG Music Support a call tomorrow. They are in the Pacific time zone. Or do Live Chat.

If I had that many storage devices, there wouldn’t be enough surplus room in my brain to find my socks in the morning. 😎

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
