Hi guys,since i upgrade to BiaB 2012.5 I see some changes about how real traks appeared,but unfortunately,only the last ones,coming with the upgrade. I can see now how they are located and with the description,fex. RT137[John J Rockin' Piano] but all of them starts from 137 and ends with 169.(After are the New Super Tracks[All]) where are the rest of them? why they do not appear like those I've mentioned?I have bought almost all man can buy from PGMusic,so they should be somewhere... any ideas,clues...?

You need 2 things for you're Reatracks to show up.
1 the realtracks folder must contain the folder name. This is the /applications/band-in-a-box/realtrack folder
2. The applications/band-in-a-box/soloists/ folder must have a st2 and xt2 file for that realtracks
You should search your Mac to find out where the other installation of Band-in-a-box is.
Have Fun!

Lubomir, If you press the Rebuild button in the RealTracks picker, you will see information about the missing RealTracks.
Have Fun!

For example, if you want RealTracks #361 Sax,Tenor,Jazz Solo Sw 140 to show up, you need to have
1. A folder called Sax,Tenor,Jazz Solo Sw 140 in your /Applications/Band-in-a-Box/RealTracks folder
AND
2. RealSax.st2 in your /Applications/Band-in-a-Box/Soloists folder.
Since you don't see RealTracks #361 as installed, check those issue above, and the fix is to move the files (st2, xt2 and folders) as above
Have Fun!

Peter,
I do appreciate your efforts to help me,but it looks you misunderstood me:
there is nothing missing from the RT,it is just some view on the left side ,that has changed,since my last upgrade and on 'category' you see the usual stuff,'been there always,and in addition after Loops set1
New age with audio loops
Real styles with drum loops
Styles with Amplitube Presets
Real Traks Sets 137-154
RT137....
RT138....
RT139....
.........
RT 154[B.Mason Classic Ctry]
New Real tracks [All]
RT155...
........
RT169[Killer Country solos]
New Super Tracks
MST 01
MST 02
MST 03
do you get the idea?those tracks came with the last upgrade and I can see very clear what are they all about-my question is : why I can't see the others 'that way'?
other RT are listed as:
All Styles
Blues
Classical etc.,but on the last I see RT 145[jazz funk breezy] and I know at once what this track is all about.
Hm...sorry...it was long

OK, I understand now. You are referring to the StylePicker, which is the list of styles. On the left side, there are categories of styles, all/jazz/pop etc. and then we make a few at the end to list the 'latest styles'.
There are specific categories for the newest RealTracks sets 0 the older styles are all still there, and you can find them either in the 'all' category or under a specific category like 'jazz'. You can also use the filter to filter the list to a specific realtracks set, or a certain artist name etc. and that's the way to find (for example) styles using RealTracks Set 78.
Have Fun!

at least we understood what is all about!Thank you,Peter,for your help.The more I dig in the program,the more I marvel how genuine it is,and although we steel do not match the PC version,the program is fantastic in itself.
as the Rolling Stones sing:'You can't always get what you want'...

Keep digging, it always gets better! The two versions will meet, and be the same, I'm sure it will happen soon. In the meantime, keep working. There is lots of meat in this program, and not so much carrots.  Watch videos, and experiment, things will become clear as you go.
