I got the following Error tonight after trying to add Tambourine Even 8th #229 to a song in RB.

Here is the error generated as I do not have Outlook setup on my PC to automatically send it.

Thanks

Hi Tony,

Please try this, it stops most Access Violations:

With RealBand closed, the M:\RealBand folder, right-click on RealBand.exe and select Properties. In the window that appears, click on the Compatibility tab, check the box marked "Run this program as an administrator", and click Ok.

Please let us know if the problem persists after that's been done.

Thanks
Kent

Hello all...

This fix seemed to work in previous versions of RB but in 2017 it does not work and when I try to create a tambourine track in RB I get the same crash I did before.

I made sure that the EXE was running as Administrator yet still no go.

I have a work around by creating a tambourine track with a loop, but am worried that this is broken again.

Thanks

Can you generate other tracks/instruments OK?


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Hi Tony,

I never used that tambourine (Tambourine Even 8th #229) track before but was curious to see what would happen if I did. FYI: I get the same result with Real Band 2017 (crash), just as you described.

Has this been fixed? I can't generate any of the tambourine real tracks. I gave up after trying several. I get a violation then have to close Realband. I'm running 2017 all the latest updates on windows 10. And running as administrator doesn't make any difference.

Access violation at address 0098EDF6 in module 'RealBand.exe'. Read of address 00000AD4.

Thanks in advance for your help. Oh, other real tracks generate fine - it's just the tambourines.

I'm trying to look into this further, but can't seem to duplicate it. Are you able to email a sample file that you have the problem with? Or does it happen for you if you simply load the program and try to generate the drum track on a blank file?

Must've been a glitch on my end. I reinstalled and tambourines are working fine now.
Andrew, thank you for checking it out.

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.
