I run BIAB 2014 from my laptop and customised the real tracks to fit on my C drive. This was complicated and time consuming (with help from support). My question is - when I upgrade to 2016 PRO, will I lose all the customised files and need to redo them? If so, is there a folder where I can find them and make a copy so I can bring it in to the new version?
Thanks

uhh, good question. But I'm confused, what is a c drive -no such thing on a MAC, perhaps your running windows via parallel? Did you install the realtracks on the OS drive or external/ other drive. Can BIAB (2014) realtracks installed to another partition separate from the OS drive? I thought that was possible. But since you mention c drive, I assume you have the files on the OS ( C ) drive??
Back up before you install or do anything, even if there were instructions by the installer or manual.
To clarify your question- for anyone to respond, does BIAB 2016 over write the previous version already installed, or does it install totally new standalone version.
sorry , its been awhile since I've used BIAB

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by customized RealTracks, other than having just moved the ones you use on a regular basis to the OS drive, and presumably all of them are still on the external USB drive?
When you upgrade to 2016, and you select to install over the current location, it will overwrite your files with (most likely) the same file that was already there (RealTracks don't change much, unless they were "fixed" by PGMusic for some reason); even then, it's usually the text offset descriptors that are changed, not the audio files themselves.
It won't look at your current configuration, however, and say "I'll just install the files I already see there.
That being said, you could upgrade to 2016, then do one of the installation options that leaves all the RealTracks/RealDrums on the external USB drive or whatever alternate location you specify. That will leave alone all the files you have on your OS drive. You can then go through the same process as before to move over the new RealTracks you might be interested in to your OS drive. That preserves the larger set on the external USB drive, and let's you just use the ones you want on your OS drive (after telling BIAB that's where they're located).
I hope I made sense, or did I miss something here?

Thanks You don't upgrade the program its actually a reinstall of the whole program so you are overwriting all the old files. Get help from PG support. If you did a custom, time consuming 2014 install. Don't start installing 2016 on your own. Call support right from the start, and let them guide you through the install. That is a guaranteed solution. If you start on your own and run into a snag, you may not get the results you want. And you will definitely be on the phone trying to undo the situation. One thing you want to make sure you have a copy of all your BIAB songs files.
