Oh my, BiaB is a bad boy to me. I am addicted!  I had about 7 computers to repair and still 6 to 10 songs to overdub and to mixdown from my last recordings. The band involved here fortunatelly had some timing problems themselves, and so their product had been delayed for that reason, and therefore they don't complain, but well it is a fact that the delay is on my side right now. Who to blame? Hmmm, yeah BiaB is the bogeyman here, I can't seem to get my disciplines in order. (someone got to take the blame right?)   So now I hit myself in the face, and go back to do the computer-repairs and make submixes for the recorded tracks as well. BiaB now has to wait, otherwise in the end only me and my BiaB will be the only thing I work on ever. So I guess I might not be much online in the coming days, maybe even weeks (depends on the band's time to come over to record new tracks again), so see you around guys. 
I'll be back...

Look foreward to your return AB. Nice to be busy with work, even though it does detract from the important things in life, such as BIAB.

Wait a minute. Did you say you're recording a band in BIAB? Why? You can fix the latency problem by going into ASIO, if your soundcard supports it. If not I think you can use ASIO4ALL, a driver that fools the computer and soundcard, and helps a lot with timing issues. However I don't know what soundcard you have. You might just post what you're running on that computer, such as, 1. Soundcard
2. Memory
3. Processor
4. Hard drive and size/speed With this info we can help make better judgements for your system and help give you better ideas. Next thing is, what version of BIAB do you have? If it's the latest you ought to be using Real Band for recording your band.

@Toucher: Thanks toucher. Well as you can see, I am still able to log in, even if it is just for a few minutes. I will have a peak whenever I can. But I leave BiaB for what it is for a while, that's all. And dang! yes, it is addicting...  @Russel Well no, I do no band recordings in BiaB. Those I do in Protools. I am not sure where my entree made the mix up to make you think so, but well I was not speaking of any latency related problem in BiaB either. The timing problems I talked about was about the band who could not synchronize their agenda's or with my schedules back then, and my delay was referring to the fact I had other things going on of which BiaB was one of those things, so I was a bit lacking in responding to my duties. But well you can't blame me as I allready blamed BiaB!  Maybe my English, knowing it is not my first language, causes some confusion now and then. If that occurs, my apologies. In this care it might have been as we call it, a "cold joke" from my side being misunderstood....
I'll be back...

AB, Your English is fine. I understood exactly what you meant. Some stuff I use does the same thing to me. Gary
I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

Thanks Gary, good to know I am been read in the right way. Sometimes I just doubt if I have said something in an odd way or something. So maybe it is something that could be interpretted in a different way.
Well anyway, I am hooked. That was the bottom line of the whole story up here, and even got hooked to the forum. Can't log of my screen so in between matters I peep in and read stuff again. Wewwww, is there a doctor in the house that can cure me from the BiaB-PGMusic-flue? :S
I'll be back...

I don't speak Dutch, never been to the Netherlands, and I didn't mean to offend. Did I say it right to mean a compliment?
I haven't heard of your reputation. . . Should I book a flight?

Not offended at all, just making a joke A lot of people think of tulips, wooden shoes and windmills when it comes to theNetherlands (also wrongly referred to as Holland) Most people however will mention the liberal "soft" drugs policy our gouvernement seems to think is wise. You can legally posess and purchase soft drugs for personal use here. And since our politicians use every opportunity they have to ventilate and defend that policy....Well, it doesn't do your national reputation much good, does it?

Ah politics.There are loads of examples why it works. To know an effect of certain decisions, one needs to know the results of positive and negative influences as well as what that subject really is about, instead of running after ghoststories, scared people like to yell around. I am not going into that, since it is not a political forum, although I totally agree with the legalisation of SOFTdrugs, eventhough I don't use it. It is the line between hard and softdrugs that becomes obvious and easier to deal with and fight it, and absolutely not the bridge as many think towards the harddrugs. It would become the bridge to it if you would make it the same, so illegal, same as harddrugs. Anyway, as I said, I better am not going into that, allready said too much. (And Ab zips his mouth)
I'll be back...

Oh no, addicted to forums on the internet is my excuse, and here I am writing on yet another forum. LOL.

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!
