I have not been using BIAB in two years and now I try to get things running. I have version 2014.

Q1: I get a message E:\Drums the custom Drum folder does not exist. Correct this in Options-Prefs-RealDrum settings
- I did not find RealDrums folder anywhere but I should have it. It seems to work if I choose a style with real intsruments

Q2: How do I get keyboard wizard running? I don't hear anything when I play a track and try to get sound of notes from my keyboard. "Wizard" is activated in Play menu. It used to work earlier.

Matti,

Unless you've installed them to a separate location, Realdrums should be located in X:\bb\drums where is X is the drive that BIAB is on.

Does your keyboard work when you generate the style and have it playing so that you play along with it?

Regards,
Noel

Thanks for your reply.

I have a folder E\Drums but that is empty. There is no other Drums folder on my PC. Still I can hear drums if I choose a Real style with drums.

Keyboard is silent during playalong.

Matti,

Where is your \bb folder? The drums should be off that. Do you run BIAB from a USB drive perhaps?

Regards,
Noel

If you select Options > Preferences > Real Drums you should be able to view the location where your real drum sounds are stored

I have two drives. C (SSD drive) and E. BIAB is located on the E drive. It is not an USB drive.

Now I run the Setup from 2 CD:s BIAB Pluspak+ 2014 and run also Setup from a disk Realtrack that came with those 2 CD:s. Now there is stuff in the Drums folder. Something is still missing as I get "RealDrums not found Style Nashville Even 16-5,HihatRide". Maybe I should run the Setup from some disk that I got with earlier versions? I think that the previous version that I have before 2014 is 2008.

Just checked the add-ons. I have all RealDrums sets from 1 to 29.

Now I have left the error that I reported on my previous message.

The other problem is the sound of single notes. Keyboard Wizard is not working. Also when I go sto Melody Step edit mode and try to play single notes I hear nothing. I don't have currently any MIDI system integrated. I use Windows Synth. I can hear music when I play my old songs but the edit and Wizard are not working.

...............................
I am proceeding:
Now I found out that the Wizard is working but with a huge latency. When I push a button, the sound comes out about 3 seconds later.´
......
Update: I connected my Roland Quad-Capture soundcard system plus Korg MIDI synth and MIDI keyboard. And I updated BIAB MIDI setup. Now the Wizard is working with no latency.

The error message of Nashville style is still there.

Hello Matti,

Can you do a search for "NashvilleEven16^" (without the quotes) on both your C: and E: drives and see if it is located anywhere?
